## Limits

Unverified plans are omitted rather than estimated. Intro offers are not the listed price. A visitor can store their own calculator prices in the browser; those lines are not verified prices. Sign-in by email is not live yet, so that list stays on this device. Service-name requests are saved only when private blob storage is configured. The price-notes form can save an address when Resend is configured. It does not send email, and the address is not sold. Email alerts are not live yet. A per-service price alert can save a contact and does not send email. Widget routes may be framed. Other pages refuse framing.
