The points system

We charge for support according to points. For each support during the hotline time listed above, one point will be deducted from the points account or charged for each 15 minutes of support or part thereof. For urgent telephone enquiries or urgent enquiries by fax or e-mail outside the hotline time listed above, an additional point will be debited or charged. Enquiries by fax or e-mail will be processed within the hotline time listed above and one point will be debited or charged for each 15 minutes of processing time or part thereof.

Service points are non-transferable and may not be resold. The points account is limited to the licensee. If the licensee is a company, the points may also be claimed by different employees of the licensee.

The duration of a service case is not limited to the duration of the enquiry or telephone call. Researching, restoring configurations and viewing data backups, as well as the actual problem analysis and compiling, documenting and backing up data also count towards your support time.

Products supported

In general, only the current products of CAD Line GmbH are supported. Outdated versions are only supported without guarantee if statements from the current version can be transferred to the "outdated" version. In such cases we will offer you an appropriate update.

Important to know:

Due to their complexity, some questions cannot be clarified over the phone but only in writing. In some cases you will have to send us the files in question packed by mail or similar. This includes questions about post-processors, drawings, macros and others. You may be asked to do this by the relevant support staff member.

Our support can only include assistance, but not the actual implementation, realisation or project solution. With our products, this falls into the area of customisation and is a separate service which we are happy to provide for you ourselves or which is provided by one of our partners.

Depending on the complexity, support for modified macros or macros created by you is also not covered by our free basic support, but will be charged to you as a customisation. However, our support staff will clarify this with you at the beginning of your support request so that you always know where you stand and what options are available.

Changes and errors excepted.
