shrum.net :: Support & Legal

 Support

If you should have any questions concerning programs or scripts, including bug reports, suggestions, etc., please read this page first. Also, direct any questions regarding legalities pertaining to any programs or scripts here.
 

Read me first

Before submitting email for support, make sure that you have the most recent version of the script, module, or application.  Support is only provided on the most current versions.  There is only one of me here so my time is stretched very thin.

Secondly, please read all the documentation available to you on this site and abroad.  Great pains have been taken to document as much as possible as well as to provide links to off-site locations for information where needed to help you solve your problems in a timely manner.

I'll make every attempt to solve your problem but make no guarantees that every issue can or will be solved.  I only state that I'll investigate any issues that are brought to my attention and attempt to address them. Please be as thorough as possible in your requests by, whenever possible, including links to data sources, copies of the script calls, exact error messages you're receiving, etc. Screenshots are always helpful.


Feature Requests / Enhancements / Optimizations / Etc.

I can't guarantee I will add every enhancement or new feature request that gets submitted but I will make an effort to do so.  However, I do encourage you if you are savvy enough with general programming, you can take a swing at adding these to the scripts on your own.

If you happen to make some improvements or additions to any of my scripts, be it in validation, optimization, features, etc., I would be most appreciative if you were able to share those with me for possible inclusion in future versions of the software.  I'll be more than happy to include your name in the list of contributors to the project as well. We're all here for the glory.


DIY'ers

Most of my apps are written in autoitscript which is similar to most other programming languages.  If you have any prior programming experience such as C++, perl, php, etc., you should be fine. If you should have any questions pertaining to this scripting language, the AutoIT forums are your best friend. You will need to create an account on their site in order to participate in the forums, however anyone can browse what's there.

If you want a text editor that works with .AU3 files, there is Notepad++ and SciTE4AutoIT3. More information on it can be found clicking the links. I highly recommend using the SciTE4AutoIT as the Windows help file is the best and fastest source of help on any call or function.


Legal

In this world of "sue me, sue you" court dramas, it almost goes without saying, however...

The long version...

Any software provided by shrum.net is done so in a "as is" condition. Any expressed or implied warranties, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose are disclaimed.  Source code that is provided to you free of charge, unless specified, falls under the GNU GPL license and may be modified by you.  In no event shall shrum.net, it's owners, or its contributors be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, procurement of substitute goods or services; loss of use, data, or profits; or business interruption, or death) however caused and on any theory of liability, whether in contract, strict liability, or tort (including negligence or otherwise) arising in any way out of the use of the software or scripts, even if advised of the possibility of such damage.

The short version...

Blah, blah, blah...don't cry to me if something breaks that you got for free.  You've been warned! :-p


And finally....

If after this point you don't find an answer, you may then send a support request to me [ here ].  Support will be provided to discuss enhancement requests, bug reports, and all things pertaining to the operation of programs and scripts that I've created and host from shrum.net.
