Once you have licensed the Software, technical support is available via e-mail and help boards for three (3) months from the date of purchase. Additional technical support can be purchased in three (3) month intervals at the then current rates. Technical Support can be accessed through our Owner's Lounge. Technical support may be discontinued for older versions of our products at any time. If you are using a version for which support has been discontinued, you will need to upgrade to a newer version in order to receive further support.

In order to receive technical support, you must have an unedited copy of the Software running on your server. The only sections of code that you may edit are those that are mentioned in the documentation for the Software. Any other editing of the Software will result in the loss of technical support. We do not provide technical support for modified Software.

For technical support requests, please allow 12-18 hours for a response. We do not have a 24-hour staff to handle the requests we get, so please be patient when requesting assistance. We do not provide telephone tech support at this time. We are a small company with limited resources, and are not able to offer that service. To date, we have been able to successfully resolve ALL tech support issues through e-mail and the help boards, so just because we don't offer phone support doesn't mean we can't help.

The tech support staff will be able to assist you with problems you encounter with the Software itself (error messages, permissions problems, etc). HTML setup to match your site, setting up banners for your members to use, etc. is solely your responsibility. If you are having HTML problems, we can offer limited HTML support by identifying which files need to be edited to make the changes you want. It is assumed that you have an understanding of HTML on the source level. The tech support staff members are not HTML developers, and cannot provide you with any HTML coding services.

If you alter or modify the Software which results in the Software ceasing to function or not to function properly, there will be an additional fee if you require us to correct the error.

We do not refund any monies for return of the Licensed Product. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. The operating system and other requirements are clearly stated, so make sure that your system meets those requirements before you purchase the Licensed Product. Prior to your purchase you have the opportunity to view the demo and ask us questions to make sure that the Software suits your needs - no refunds will be given on the basis that the Licensed Product does not meet your requirements. Any refunds or chargebacks processed without the consent of JMB Software, Inc. will result in legal action against you for software piracy. We take this issue very seriously, and have no tolerance for those who pirate software products.

If you need assistance with installation, we may provide it one time free of charge.

Installation consists of us asking you a series of questions, getting your server login information, uploading all required files, setting all the variables according to your answers, and making sure the script is operating properly within your server capabilities. Once that is completed, we will contact you with the information you need to begin working with the Software.

We do not setup any HTML for you, and we also do not setup cron scripts or crontab entries if that is an option for the script you are purchasing. A standard installation is done based on the installation instructions provided with the software. Utilities and add ons are not included in the installation unless specifically noted at the time of purchase. The Software comes with default HTML, and that is what will be used during the installation. All modifications to headers, footers, templates, etc. must be created and entered into the script by you. This is done through web based forms and by editing regular HTML files.

During the installation we will attempt to setup the script so that it can send e-mails. Unfortunately, some servers have restrictions on CGI scripts sending e-mails, so this is something we cannot guarantee. All other functions of the Software are covered in the basic installation.

By providing your login information to us for installation services you are authorizing us to access your web site, make changes, create directories, upload files and all other necessary actions to get the software installed and operating pursuant to our standard specifications. Additionally, you are permitting us to retain the login information for future technical support, should it be needed and for removal of the Software in the event your license is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. You will indemnify and hold us harmless for all damages that arise from our access to your site and hold us harmless for, and hereby expressly assume all risk for, any violation of your agreement with your web site host or provider.

Installation services are only available for Unix and Linux servers. We do not offer installation services for Windows NT/2000 servers.

The installation fee covers the initial installation of a single instance of the script; any upgrades or additional installations will require an additional fee.
