No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

    現時点では、フォームの入力に数分以上かかるとタイムアウトでエラーになるので、このプラグインでバリデーションチェックするとフォームは送信できません。 今後もプラグイン導入時はテストを十分に行ってください。エラー時は一切送信できなくなるので、ご注意ください。 At the moment, if a form takes more than a few minutes to fill out, it will time out and cause an error, so if you use this plugin to check for validation, the form cannot be submitted. Please continue to test the plugin thoroughly when you install it, and if it times out, you will not be able to submit the form at all.
