1. If any user successfully creates his/her account here then the system will send a welcome email. This welcome email will also contain one pass code to verify email.
2. If user forgets account password, then he can use forgot password functionality where he can enter his email and the system will send an auto-generated code to user’s email-id to retrieve new password.
3. If user subscribe our plan in the application, then the application will send details to user’s email so that he can save the details and get the notification's on mentioned time.
4. We do have a help section where user fill a form on application and the details will be received on support@tech2towards.com .
