JomSocial strives to deliver the best, unmatched support service on the web. Our professional support team consists of knowledgeable and highly proficient developers with years of experience in web development, the Joomla ecosystem, and social networking platforms. You are in excellent hands.

- Guidance for installation issues.
- Assistance with available features and configurations.
- Providing patches for valid bugs whenever possible.
NOT SUPPORTED
- Code/Scripting training. We do not commit to educating users with PHP/SQL/Javascript/CSS/XHTML skills or elaborating on functions within or outside of the product.
- Modified JomSocial codes. We are not able to debug codes that are unfamiliar to us. In most cases, we will revert to the original code and check whether the issue persists.

- Core and template customizations. Feature request / template modification to suit your unique requirement has to be dealt with through Third-Party developers.
- Server, system, and Joomla setup. We are not responsible for providing and setting up your community server, configuring the system with required libraries and applications, or setting up Joomla CMS on your system.
- Issues related to external libraries. Some parts of JomSocial require FFMPEG (to convert video), Imagick (to process images), and other libraries to function. Issues relating to these libraries have to be fixed through your webhosting provider.
- Issues related to external services. Retrieval of outside information and content, not limited to Facebook and video hosting sites, is outside of our scope and control. The availability of such content is ultimately governed by policies and restrictions imposed by external service providers.

- Installation, configuration, or customization of Third-Party / unofficial JomSocial addons.

We really value feature requests and constructive critiques of existing features. For feature requests, please use our Uservoice area, http://uservoice.jomsocial.com to submit and vote on relevant features. This would allow us to prioritize your requests in an orderly fashion.
Your responsibility
- Accessible website. Given the myriad of possible web configuration and server settings, we absolutely require your website to be accessible for us to directly inspect its condition. A temporary Super Administrator access and FTP information are required to assist us in troubleshooting your site with ease. No information will be shared with Third-Parties, but are stored for future references. From time to time, we will purge this information for additional security.
- Joomla is in normal working condition. We expect your Joomla website to be in normal and acceptable working condition prior to acquiring support service. We do not commit to repairing a damaged or misconfigured Joomla website. It is within our means to decline support should the website be in bad operating condition or does not follow regular Joomla standards.
- Reproducible issues. Please provide a detailed description along with the steps required to reproduce your issue. It would allow us to quickly identify the cause and offer you a better, more timely response. Avoid using a vague description such as "My photo is missing, please help." Always elaborate and provide us with screenshots, if possible, to help us visualize your issue.
- Complete Data Backup. You are required to maintain an up-to-date backup of your web files and database at all times. While we abide by a strict operation procedure, we cannot guarantee that modified JomSocial core files or unique customizations will remain intact. Please ensure that the website has a recent and usable backup.
