1. General Information

This policy explains support-related questions and defines issues covered by free and premium customer support plans. Further, we will describe them in detail and cover support time, means, and request types.

2. Support Time

2.1. Free support

The General free support plan covers all purchased digital items, except services. Every Marketplace customer has the right to get free support during the first 6 (six) months starting from the purchase date. The purchase date is the date the customer creates the purchase order.*

*The support term can expire even if the client purchased the product but didn't download it from the admin panel or has not used it for some time after completing the order.

2.2. Extended support

You can prolong your free support time for another 6 (six) months by purchasing a corresponding offer with the product.*

After purchasing the offer, you get additional 6 (six) months of technical support covered by section 5 of this policy. Please choose the *Extend support* checkbox on the product page and proceed to checkout to purchase this offer. Thus you will get extended support at the best price available.

You can also extend the support of your product after the free support expiration. Please note that the offer's price will be higher in this case.**

We calculate the price as a percentage of the product's initial cost. It is determined when you order an extended support offer in the % ratio from the current product price. To see how it works, check the illustration below.

With initial item purchase

Support Upgrade

30%

of the product's price

During active support time

Support Extension

*You can purchase this offer only if the product's author has agreed to prolong support for the item and if it is in stock at the time of purchase.

**The extended support offer is not subject to a refund.
