Revised Dec 21, 2022

Support Policy

This policy applies to the technical support for all devDept Software S.r.l. (“DEVDEPT” or “we” or “our”) products.

We will provide support services to the licensee regarding the supported products in accordance with the nature of the support case.

All deliverables, documents and media provided to the licensee under this Support Policy are also subject to the terms and conditions of the software end user license agreement for the applicable software products by and between you and DEVDEPT (the “EULA”).

Support Services

We will make reasonable efforts to achieve resolution of the support cases within shortest possible terms. Note that resolutions may involve a “workaround” to an issue that will allow continued use of the affected supported product or component.

What is included:
  • Guidance for built-in features: the support service provides guidance and explanation for built-in features of the products. We provide clients with references to existing resources and code samples to demonstrate the intended use of the product API regarding a particular case. We also provide information on a proper configuration of the products and the accompanying tools.
  • Troubleshooting: We are dedicated to assisting in diagnosing and troubleshooting warnings, errors and exceptions within the DEVDEPT products, and within customer code that is entirely generated by our tools.
  • Bug Confirmation: the support service covers diagnosing and confirming bugs that appear to be in DEVDEPT products, code or automatically-generated code that is entirely created by our tools. In the process of investigating reports, we may request that clients isolate the issue in a runnable sample or code snippets and provide us with additional information such as steps to reproduce it.
  • Workarounds: We are committed to suggesting workarounds, when available, for confirmed product bugs. Where possible, we also provide information on releases containing a fix for a bug or an implemented feature request. We facilitate clients' access to service packs and hotfixes and provide guidance to logging feature requests on the feedback portals.
  • General Optimization Suggestions: clients can benefit from general guidance on performance improvements related to our products and tools. We also diagnose and confirm performance issues in our products. In doing so, we shall request that clients isolate the issue to a runnable sample and provide us with additional information such as steps to reproduce it.
What is not included:
  • Custom Implementations: Client issues with products which are not setup in accordance with the official product documentation and system requirements. We may propose our best practices approaches, and offer clients advice based on general knowledge.
  • Complete Implementations: Delivering full implementation and integration with the customer’s environment or third party products and tools based on specifications or wireframes. The same applies to guidance related to the implementation of application security or user authentication unless the task is directly related to existing security features of the DEVDEPT tools.
  • Source Code Explanation: In-depth explanation of how and why the source code is implemented the way it is or guidance on how to modify or override the source code or use the internal product APIs in order to achieve specific custom behavior.
  • Feature Implementations: The support service does not cover providing an alternative solution for a feature request or customer requirement that differs from the built-in behavior of a product. We may provide assistance in the form of best practices guidance and suggestions on how to approach similar scenarios.
  • External Bugs: Debugging customers' or third-party programming code and addressing issues that derive from external libraries, assemblies and customers’ code.
  • Performance Tuning: Analyzing custom code and implementations for performance issues and providing guidance for performance improvements in an environment where system or platform specific tuning is needed.
  • Professional Services: Analyzing custom code, product training, and providing general guidance on best programming practices or performance optimizations over remote web assistance.

DEVDEPT does not guarantee that all support issues will be resolved. Bug reports and product feature suggestions are not considered support cases, and DEVDEPT is not obligated to acknowledge or address such bug reports and/or product feature suggestions.

Support Business Hours and Ticket Response Times

Standard Support: All licenses come with a 24 hours Ticket Response time (excluding weekends and public holidays in Italy). This means that we will provide an initial response (but not necessarily a resolution) to each support inquiry within 24 hours of receipt of such support inquiry and will use reasonable efforts to resolve the issue generating the inquiry as soon as possible.

Trial Support: Trial licenses come with a 24 hours Ticket Response time (excluding weekends and public holidays in Italy).

Contact Procedures

There are a few ways to request the support services depending to the type of license:

For an standard license the support services may be requested using:

  • The ticketing support system available on the DEVDEPT’s website: It is accessible via the “My Account” section on devdept.com. Support inquiries are private and are visible only to the licensee and our support personnel.
  • EyeshotTools utility application. Designed to simplify ticket creation and collect developer setup data, this application is always installed with the product setup.

For a trial license the support services may be requested:

Scope of Support

Re-establishment of a working system on all support cases is of first importance to us. We will provide support services under the terms of this Support Policy and will use competent staff to provide such services. However, certain limitations apply as follows:

  • DEVDEPT cannot ensure support staff having a specific knowledge regarding the licensee’s business or particular project
  • DEVDEPT cannot guarantee that the support case will be resolved within pre-determined time frame, especially when changes to any supported product are necessary.
  • It might be possible that the supported product has design limitations, which should not be considered a bug. In such instances, we will attempt to provide an alternative solution to minimize the impact of such design limitations, if possible.
  • In no event we will provide support of any kind to end-users of licensee’s integrated products or any other licensee’s proprietary or third-party software
  • In no event we will provide support for bugs caused by licensee’s negligence or fault or resulting from hardware malfunction or malfunction of software not covered by this Support Policy
  • Consulting work, custom development and related services fall beyond the scope of the support and will be provided under terms and conditions to be additionally agreed upon between DEVDEPT and licensee.
  • Support services are not available for modifications made to the supported product (including modifications to the supported product’s source code where permitted under the EULA) by any person or entity other than DEVDEPT
  • Bug fixes and new features are generally only provided for the latest release version of the supported product. Workarounds for older versions may be provided in the ticketing system if they are technically possible, but we cannot guarantee that fixes are available for older versions and there is no warranty for any workarounds that are provided.
  • DEVDEPT does not guarantee compatibility with browsers and third-party software or frameworks which were not available at the time the supported product version in use by licensee was first made generally available

Support Fair Usage Policy

DEVDEPT may limit or terminate licensee’s access to any or all of the support services available if licensee’s use of the support services is determined by DEVDEPT, in its sole and reasonable discretion, to be excessive.

Dealing with Abusive Behavior

Aggressive or abusive behavior includes language (whether verbal or written) that may cause DEVDEPT to feel afraid, threatened or abused and may include threats, personal verbal abuse, derogatory remarks and rudeness. Inflammatory statements, remarks of a discriminatory nature and unsubstantiated allegations will also be considered abusive behavior. Where a licensee is aggressive or abusive, DEVDEPT may decide to:

  • Advise licensee that their actions are considered offensive, unnecessary and unhelpful and ask them to stop.
  • End telephone calls / appointments / meetings
  • Terminate all direct contact with licensee
  • Take any additional actions considered appropriate to the circumstances

Term and Termination

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, support becomes effective upon the shipment date of the supported products, and is available to the licensee until the expiration date of the support period.

Notwithstanding the above, support may be terminated in accordance with the terms of the EULA. In particular, support shall terminate immediately in the event that the license granted to the licensee is terminated for breach according to the provisions of the EULA.
