3) The problem is, they don't really seem to want to let us. We said "hey we're ready to pay now can we have access to your API?" They said "no sorry first let's have a phone call". so we had a phone call, and they walked us through the product (unnecessarily).

4) So, again, we were like "hey can we pay you money now, we want to use your product". "No", they replied. "It's time for a second phone call." Another employee gets on this time, and..... walks us through the same demo.
