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.

In most scenarios, support also includes support of the foreflow underlying technology base, including the database software, web server software, and software libraries and runtimes as they pertain to foreflow only. Support of these underlying technologies is included only when the customer agrees not to directly use or change these technologies and understands that InnoSource, Inc. will maintain administrative control of them. Such items are typically acquired and installed as part of a foreflow implementation by InnoSource, Inc. but covered under separate licenses from their providers.

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. Managed Services Agreement which may be added to a foreflow subscription purchase and include things like estimated hosting costs for private cloud implementations.
