Incident Definition
An incident is defined as a single support issue with a Source Elements product and the reasonable effort needed to resolve it. A single support issue is a problem that cannot be broken down into subordinate parts.
When, after 3 attempts on separate business days, the customer cannot be reached regarding an open incident, the incident is considered closed, unless otherwise agreed by Source Elements and the customer. Source Elements will endeavor to provide resolutions to questions within a reasonable time, but at least within 2 business days after the question has been dispatched to an authorized representative of Source Elements. If the nature of the question prevents Source Elements from providing a resolution within that period, Source Elements will contact the customer to inform them when a resolution can be expected.
Response Time
A response to a request for Support may consist of receipt of and acknowledgement by Source Elements of your request for Support, and may not include answers to your request for Support. You acknowledge and understand that no software is perfect or error free, and that despite its commercially reasonable efforts, Source Elements may be unable to provide answers to or resolve some or all requests for Support. Source Elements makes no promises, guarantees or assurances of any kind that it will be able to provide the Support you seek.
Response Time is based on your purchased Support Contract and Source Elements's business hours as listed on the Contact page, except non-service periods.
Insurmountable Issues
If a support incident cannot be resolved by Source Elements support, we will make the best effort to provide recommendations. This may include the purchase of new or different equipment or services, or of reinstalling or restoring Operating Systems or bringing Operating Systems to a default configuration. Under circumstances Source Elements Software is not operating on an Operating System that is not set to default or near-default configuration we may ask that you resinstall or restore your Operating System. If you choose to not follow through with the procedure to make modifications on your equipment you agree that Source Elements has provided the maximum support possible for that particular incident.
