Support Policy
Our theme support policy
Regarding the official ThemeForest Item Support Policy (that was implemented since September 1, 2015) the initial item’s support should be limited to a certain period of time, and this period can be increased afterwards.
In short:
- Support for a theme has an expiration date;
- When you purchase a theme, you have 6 months of included support by default;
- You can extend theme’s support if it hasn’t expired yet;
- You can renew theme’s support if it has expired;
Read the full information about support options here.
What happens if my support has expired?
There are 2 limitations for customers with expired support, they won’t be able:
- Create new support tickets
- Reply to any existing tickets
How to know when my support expires?
With the Single Sign-On (SSO), it allows synchronization with Envato (ThemeForest), which will permit the platform to calculate when support for a theme expires. For this please do the following steps:
- Go to My Products page and click on “Refresh Purchases” link at the bottom of the list;
- For each of your purchases, you will notice the support expiration date for every theme in the “Supported until” area on the right;
How to renew or extend my support for a theme?
- Simply access ThemeForest’s Kallyas theme page and onto the right side hit the Extend Support button eg: https://hogash.d.pr/n0NC ;
- Or in the dashboard’s My Products page, in each purchase entry, you’ll notice the “RENEW NOW!” button below the “Supported until” label;
Read more information about prices in the Extending and Renewing Support article.
What if I have several theme licenses?
The main thing you should know is that support is related to a theme itself (not to a single license). It means that:
- You don’t have to purchase separate support for every license of one theme.
- If you have several licenses of one theme (e.g. 10 licenses of Kallyas) your support expiration date is based on the latest purchased license.
- Support for one theme doesn’t affect on other themes.
