Support Policy

1. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF POLICY

Vitrium Systems Inc. (“Vitrium” or “Company”), www.vitrium.com, is committed to providing the best customer care and technical support for its customers (“Customers”). In turn, by providing the best level of support to Customers, they can then support their end users (“Users”), the people viewing the content that has been protected using Vitrium’s technology. This policy defines the different types of support that Vitrium provides to its Customers, as well as outlines the best methods to contact Vitrium for support, and describes the two main types of support packages that a Customer can receive from Vitrium.

2. DEFINITIONS OF KEY TERMS

Customer Support Tier 1: defined as any support requested by the Customer that relates to one of the following:

  • An issue affecting one end user that cannot be solved by reviewing the manuals, guides, or FAQs on Vitrium’s Knowledge Base:  https://www.vitrium.com/knowledgebase
  • A feature enhancement request, bug or other defect that is not critical to the day-to-day functioning of the Customer

For tier 1 support, Vitrium will respond to the support inquiry or ticket within 8 hours during Vitrium’s regular business hours.

Customer Support Tier 2: defined as any support requested by the Customer that relates to one of the following:

  • Multiple end user issues that cannot be solved by reviewing reviewing the manuals, guides, or FAQs on Vitrium’s Knowledge Base: https://www.vitrium.com/knowledgebase
  • A bug or other defect that is critical to the day-to-day functioning of the Customer

For tier 2 support, Vitrium will respond to the support inquiry or ticket within 2 hours during Vitrium’s regular business hours.

Customer Support Tier 3: defined as any support where the Vitrium software is totally inoperable. Vitrium will respond to the support inquiry or ticket within 1 hour and will commit to fix or address the issue within 8 hours.

End User Support: defined as any support that is requested by the Customer’s end user, the person attempting to open, unlock or access content that has been protected with Vitrium’s DRM technology. The Customer is responsible for following up on this type of support. If a support email, ticket or phone call is received by Vitrium by an end user, the Vitrium team member will:

  • Re-direct that person to contact the person or company who sent them the content
  • Contact the Customer directly to inform them about the issue (if Vitrium can identify who the Customer is)

Vitrium provides Customers with a complimentary training session during the onboarding phase about how to support their end users, as well as providing a variety of helpful guides, manuals, FAQS and videos on its Knowledge Base. It is expected that the Customer should be able to handle the majority of end user issues. If the Customer has exhausted all efforts to support the end user, then a ticket can be submitted to Vitrium for end user assistance.
