What to ask Lumina Connect before signing

  1. How big is the team, how many chatters, and which platforms do you manage?
  2. Who owns my content and pages, and does your licence to use them end when I leave?
  3. Is there a minimum term, how long is the notice period, is there an exit fee or automatic renewal?
  4. How often do I get a written report, and can I see a sample before signing?
  5. Is leak removal included, how does it work, and how fast are takedowns typically?
  6. Who should not sign with you, and who would you recommend instead?
  7. When I leave, how fast is your access removed, what data is deleted and what do I get back?
  8. Who writes my messages (people or AI), what are the limits, and in which languages?
  9. Since when has the company existed, and what public record shows it?
