Support Policy

All purchases get free support for a duration of 3 months. The free support period starts from the date of purchase or deployment.

The support period varies based on the license or package you purchased.

When you report a defect, if I am not able to reproduce it, then you should grant me access to your environment to analyze the situation.

Support includes the following

  • Installation: A manual to help you install and configure the Product will be provided along with the purchase.
  • Installation: If you require, I will guide you to install the Product and configure it.
  • Updates: You can get updates of the Product released during the support period for free.
  • Defects: Any defects reported during the support period will be fixed and patch delivered exclusively. Please refer to the definition for the term ‘Defect’ at the end of this page.
  • Enhancements: If you require a function or feature, that is not available in the Product, I can code it for you as a service for a fee.

Support does not include the following

  • Installation, preparation, setup, or configuration of your environment. To run the software, it will require a basic setup like Apache server, PHP, database, etc. You should have all these required software ready to use.
  • Data entry or import to the Product.
  • Configuring third-party applications.
  • Performance optimization for response time or throughput or any other parameters.

Defect – Definition Terms

The term defect may seem obvious but it varies largely based on the context. Coming up with a general term for the defect is tedious. To define a framework and understanding between us, I define defect as “a condition which does not meet a requirement as stated in the Product description page”. It is an error that causes the Product to malfunction and produce incorrect results.

Patches for a defect fix or a new release of the complete Product will be delivered to you.

  • Apache Server with PHP and MySQL / MariaDB database.
