## A Note About the Email Addresses



If you try to click on any of the Support links in this repository, you'll get a 404 page. Don't despair! You can always reach us at [email protected]. Highrise customers can also email [email protected] and HEY users can reach out to [email protected]. Your emails all go to our same [friendly Support team](https://basecamp.com/support).



So how come the links don't work in this repository? The short answer is: we made a technical tradeoff. The long answer is, we copy the policies in this repository to our product marketing sites. To make it easier to transfer, we are now using relative links, [this Jekyll plugin](https://github.com/benbalter/jekyll-relative-links) to convert Markdown links to a valid web URL, and some [Liquid](https://shopify.github.io/liquid/) variables.



## Public Contributions Welcome



We welcome our customers—you!—to suggest changes to our policies and to offer feedback on the changes we have planned. Please do chime in on any open pull request, or even file a pull request yourself.
