- Senior Review: Issues requiring specialized expertise are escalated to a senior developer.
- Product Development: Complex mathematical or “peak-fitting” issues may be escalated to the Product Development team, where the case remains open until resolution.
- Customer Responsibilities
To ensure effective support, customers are expected to:
- Review Documentation: Consult user manuals, help files, and FAQs before contacting support.
- Validate Data: Ensure data files are complete and properly formatted, as many errors stem from missing or incorrect formatting.
- Provide Details: Note specific error messages, commands, or reproducible steps that generated the issue.
R2N reserves the right to modify this policy at any time. All support is provided “as is” and subject to resource availability.
