Your support requests take priority on our forums or in e-mail. Guaranteed response time is the same business day (during standard working hours), next business day if past 2PM GMT.
- Source code. The source code of our product is delivered, which means that you can rebuild our run-time assemblies, utilities and design-time tools. However, please be aware that we do not provide technical support for modified source code.

1 escalation per month is allowed. Though, we reserve the right to disregard this limitation for your most urgent and critical issues :)
- Solution research service. This service includes research on the possibility and ways of realization of the required functionality,
creating small sample projects that illustrate the key points of the solution: UI, use of events, properties and methods of the object model;
interaction of several extensions in one project, etc. You can request this service once a month. However, we may ignore the one-time-per-month limitation for your most important
and crucial issues :)
- Features or bug-fixes at your request. You may request a feature or a big-fix out-of-turn. However, we reserve the right not to include the requested feature or big-fix in the next build or release if its implementation is exceedingly time or labor consuming. Please be aware that we do not guarantee the implementation of all requested features and fixing all bugs.
- Code review. 2-3 times a year you can request a code review to check your code for correct usage of object models. You are free to send us your code with business logics removed.
