What type of support do you offer?

We offer different levels of support. The main difference among them is the number of incidents a merchant gets per month. The most important part of having a support plan, besides having professional help when needed, is that the software is upgraded at no additional cost.

  • Basic Support – Includes 1 incident per month.
  • Standard Support –  Includes 4 incidents per month.
  • Premium Support –  “Unlimited” incidents (within reason), increased coverage.

Premium Support extends Artisan Support to unlimited incidents (within reason), plus phone (or email) help with all computers and equipment used with Artisan—even if not purchased from us—including local networking (LAN) used to connect multiple computers. Also, premium support gets higher placement in support queues, substantial discounts on custom reports, labels, and forms. We will assist you to the best of our ability to determine the nature of the trouble and fix configuration problems; repair costs are not included. Networking support is limited to general connectivity and the basic file sharing and drive mappings needed to make Artisan operate; it does not include configuration or diagnosis of file servers except by special arrangement.

We also have more support plans available, including seasonal and starter plans. Call us for more information.


Can I upgrade support to premium package?

Yes, you can upgrade any time. Just call us and we will help you with questions regarding upgrading your support plan.


What is the cancelation period?

You may return ARTISAN SOFTWARE within 30 days of the date received, for any reason, for a full refund less $75 restocking fee. This special refund policy does not apply to other merchandise.
