Preferred Incident Packages provides help at the preferred level for a single issue incident or a package of support for multiple tools. Incident Support allows for one-to-one support by incident. Issues covered are those listed as covered by Preferred Support. Incidents are help requests that cannot be broken down into separate issues. Some incidents are resolved quickly, others may require some time to complete with several telephone and e-mail communications. Please read carefully before purchasing.
Bug fixes are usually placed on a list and prioritised by support customers, by those effecting multiple users and the remainder on a first-in, first out basis. There is no charge for fixing bugs but a charge is levied for prioritising the fix if it seems to be affecting one organisation only. If the research determines that the problem is a bug that has been caused by Dart money is refunded unless the fix has been prioritised. In summary:
- Refunds are not made if an problem is resolved quickly
- No further charges are levied if the problem requires a lengthy resolution
- A refund is made if the problem is determined to be a bug that cannot be fixed
- Any authorised person can call with an incident for package incident purchases
- Incident subscriptions terminate after 12 months.
