1. GENERAL REGULATIONS
1.1 InGeomatics provides online support to Mr.CAD Professional (Version 10) and Mr.CAD 360 license owners . Previous versions of these products must be upgraded to receive technical support.
1.2 Technical support and updates are not free of charge. They are included for a period of 365 days from the date of purchase without additional charges. After this period has expired, the customer can renew the service by purchasing a new maintenance plan. See section 3.2
1.3 Before directing your question to technical support, you should study all reference information available in the product documentation and online FAQs.
1.4 Technical Support cannot resolve issues related to the maintenance of a third-party company and its software products. Nor can issues with AutoCAD® or IntelliCAD® CMS licenses be resolved.
1.5 Support requests are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. InGeomatics reserves the right to assign a different priority level for each support request. Support requests will be made only by the license holder. In the case of a company, by the person in charge.
1.6 The problem resolution period depends on the complexity of the problem, and the potential need to address the request by the development department.
-
Problems that cannot be solved in the context of the current software version are forwarded to the InGeomatics development department, which means that the correction will be included in a future update. In such a case, the technical support service cannot guarantee a fixed period of problem resolution.
1.7 The response time depends on the current workload of the technical support service. It usually takes less time than stated in the regulations. In most cases, a problem is solved immediately after receiving a request or additional information from a customer. The maximum response time is 48 hours on business days.
-
Supported users. These are users who own at least one valid license of the current version of our software with a valid membership and active maintenance plan .
-
Support for non-users : This level of support is assigned to users of demo versions. The maximum response time is 72 hours on business days.
2. TECHNICAL SUPPORT PROCEDURE
2.1 The technical support request must be submitted by the license owner and can be created in any of the following ways:
using the Bug Report form on this site.
by sending an email through the contact page with detailed information about the problem and/or error message.
2.2 Support will normally be available from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM UTC-4, Tuesday through Friday . Requests can be submitted online, or by email 24 hours a day.
2.3 The request for technical support must include:
Registered User Information (Serial Number)
The name of the software and the version number.
The description of the problem, and the step-by-step procedure to reproduce the error (if possible).
When submitting a support request via email, you can include screenshots and other images that can help identify and resolve the issue.
Technical support personnel may request additional information, such as log or configuration reports.
2.4 The following reasons may delay or stop the consultancy:
An issue cannot be reproduced using a similar hardware configuration.
The user is unable to provide enough information needed to resolve the issue.
The issue requires custom enhancements or an unplanned update.
A user performs actions that violate the end user license agreement (EULA) or technical requirements for installing and using our products; exceeds the permitted number of software installations, is not the owner of the license, etc.
Use of unlicensed copies of Mr.CAD .
The issue is beyond the scope of technical support.
The question is incorrect, or the client's answers are inadequate, causing delays in the consultation because additional information about the request is delayed.
Your membership and/or maintenance plan has expired .
2.5 The following issues are outside the scope of technical support:
We do not consult on general principles of engineering or architecture, nor on AutoCAD® or IntelliCAD®.
We do not implement custom user-defined logic and algorithms.
We do not diagnose user hardware components.
We do not develop custom components.
We do not manufacture custom versions of the program components.
We never modify existing code to adapt it for specific tasks, unless such modifications are somehow related to essential bug fixes.
3. MAINTENANCE PLAN
3.1 The maintenance plan includes:
-
Technical support via email.
-
Access to program updates.
-
If needed : Telephone support and Remote assistance. The need will be determined by the service provider.
3.2 Each Mr.CAD license initially contains the right to use this maintenance plan (at no additional cost) for a limited period of time of one (1) year from the date of order . When the maintenance plan expires (while this service is available) it can be renewed for an additional fee through this website.
3.3 You may continue to use the purchased version after the end of the maintenance plan, as long as your PC and/or operating system supports it, or if any event occurs that causes its deactivation. However, you will no longer be entitled to the benefits offered by the maintenance plan. See section 3.1
3.4 Users will be notified of new updates and corrections by email, or this website.
-
By default, every user is subscribed to the Mr.CAD newsletter. The user can unsubscribe at any time.
3.5 A (unique) activation key is compiled for each user. InGeomatics does not keep backup copies of such numbers given to users.
-
Only the latest build of Mr.CAD is used for the current version. Users should always make a backup copy of the Mr.CAD product, as InGeomatics will not be able to provide older versions of the product upon request.
-
New builds are not always fully compatible with previous versions. This is why all changes are listed in the appropriate document, and it is recommended that you closely review such changes before installing and using the latest build.
3.6 In the event of total loss of the computer as a result of theft, fire, or any other similar incident (such as if the computer has been damaged in a way that makes activation recovery impossible), a replacement license will be issued (1) if the lost license is registered, and is an updated version, (2) if an official document describing the incident is provided. For example: official police report, or certified report from a computer repair company, and (3) if the lost license was subscribed to and active on the Professional level maintenance plan (not the Basic one). Limit : This grant can be applied one (1) time only. For subsequent events, the purchase of additional activation will be required.
--------
InGeomatics reserves the right to modify, add or remove any term or condition of this ASST without notice or liability. Any changes to this ASST will be effective immediately upon posting of such changes on the InGeomatics website.
