Important Notes

  • These services are optional, and each type of support is purchased separately in four-hour increments only.
  • The Customer is responsible for providing Cadmium with specific dates and times (Support Period) during which dedicated support is required.
  • Cadmium will assign resources upon acceptance of an accompanying Order.  Cadmium acceptance is subject to availability.
  • Dedicated Virtual Support can serve as a contingency plan for assistance during hours inside or outside of Cadmium's normal business hours.  This support service is dedicated to the Customer's event, rather than working with other customers simultaneously.
  • A Dedicated Support Person is not intended to be a substitute for the Customer's entire project management team and may not be an expert on every product, specific details about the Customer's use case, nor details about the Customer's specific configuration.
  • If competing service requests are received during the Support Period, Cadmium reserves the right to establish the priority of each request and will address each item accordingly.
  • There may be times when the Cadmium Dedicated Support Person cannot resolve a reported issue.  If this occurs, appropriate Cadmium resources will be alerted and will expedite the issue until resolution.
