According to the latest policy set by Envato, customer support is time sensitive. That means six months of customer support is included in your purchase of any of the Artbees themes from Envato, and Artbees is committed to offering full customer service during this period. After the initial six months, in order to continue using Artbees Support you need to renew your support subscription.
For more information, read the Purchasing supported items article from Envato.
Checking your support subscription status
To check the status on your support subscription:
Pricing
The cost of the support subscription is calculated as a percentage of the theme price and is determined by when you make the support purchase.
The cost is as follows:
- At initial theme purchase – 37.5% of the theme price
- During the support period – 62.5% of the theme price
- After the support has expired – 87.5% of the theme price
Extending the support
To extend the support subscription:
Multiple licenses
If you have purchased multiple licenses for one theme, only your last purchase date will be counted so you do not have to renew the support subscription for older licenses. Make sure to always add your latest purchase code in the Artbees portal.
VIP support
If you are a verified customer of Artbees Themes and you have registered 10 or more licenses of any of our themes you will enjoy lifetime support regardless of your support subscription status. Previous VIP members who had 5+ licenses registered before 1st May 2019 will still be considered as VIP members.
The chat support and prioritized ticket replies
VIPs will have access to the chat support from their Artbees Portal dashboard. VIP tickets will be prioritized by our support team so they will receive faster replies in the support forum.
