Support policy is subject to change
Foreflow subscriptions include foreflow software support. Support requests may be submitted via a support email address (dsg@innosource.com). These emails should indicate that the customer is a foreflow customer and the nature and severity of the problem. Customers who allow subscriptions to lapse are not eligible for support and there are no warranties associated with support services.
Foreflow support covers defects and issues with the foreflow software platform. It also covers general problems with the licensing and running of foreflow to ensure new customers can gain and maintain access to the foreflow software.
Support of the foreflow underlying technology base, including the database software, web server software, and open-source software libraries and runtimes are not included in subscription support. Support of these underlying technologies is available on a paid basis if desired. Such items are acquired and installed separately from foreflow licensing and as such are licensed directly to the customer, not through InnoSource.
Foreflow support does not include support of the customer’s server hardware, virtual machines, networks, cloud environments, or other infrastructure items. Support of those items may occur as part of a InnoSource, Inc. Services Agreement which may be added to a foreflow subscription purchase at an additional caost and include things open-source platform upgrades, troubleshooting, and technical services.
