If I leave my marketing agency, who keeps my company's Company Brain?

Your company keeps it. An Ownbox belongs to one business, so your company owns the software and all its data—as a perpetual license, not a subscription. When you leave an agency, the brain, every machine your team built, and the database come with you.

Your company owns it, so your company keeps it

An Ownbox is built for one business. When your company signs up, your company owns the software and the data—not the agency, not Ownbox. This is true no matter what your company is: a client of an agency, an agency, a startup, a service business, anything else.

Each business gets its own Ownbox and its own Shared Company Brain, separate and complete. If your company leaves an agency and takes its business with it, the brain comes with you.

What your company owns

When your company signs up for an Ownbox, it owns:

1. The software: a perpetual license to run Ownbox, forever
2. The Shared Company Brain: everything your team and AI agents learned together
3. Your data: every message, conversation, file, decision, and machine your team built
4. The server: your own cloud server, separate from other Ownbox customers
5. The login and access: the sign-in and roles for everyone on your team

AI calls your agents make run on your company's own Claude or ChatGPT account, so your company owns the AI account and the bill.

Moving your brain

Thirty days after you buy, your company can move the Ownbox anytime.

1. Keep it where it is: hosted by Ownbox, free for 90 days, then about $12 a month on the card your company used at checkout, unless you cancel before day 90
2. Move it to your own hosting in one click: move the entire database file to a DigitalOcean account your company controls, and run it yourself without Ownbox, paying the hosting provider directly
3. Have Ownbox power it off: the brain stays safe offline, ready for your company to restore it anytime

Your company's data exports in full. You can back it up, move it to another platform, or keep it as insurance. Nothing stays with an agency or with Ownbox—it belongs to your company.

Why this matters

Most AI tools are subscriptions. Your company rents access month to month, and the vendor owns the software and holds the data on their server. If your company leaves, access stops and the data stays behind. You start over.

Ownbox is different because your company owns the software itself, not a subscription to it. No vendor can change the rules, charge you per seat later, or lock you in. When your company leaves an agency—or makes any other change—the brain goes with you, complete and under your control.
