4. Support Hours
Standard support is available during DXBMARK's normal business hours unless a written agreement states otherwise.
24/7 support is available only if included in the applicable package, SLA, support plan, hosting plan, proposal, invoice, or written agreement.

6. Post-Delivery Support
Post-delivery support is provided only as stated in the applicable project agreement, invoice, proposal, support plan, hosting plan, maintenance plan, or SLA.
If a project includes a review or warranty period, the customer must report issues within the stated period and provide clear details, screenshots, logs, reproduction steps, account access, and any other information reasonably required to investigate the issue.
Issues reported after the review period may be subject to support fees, maintenance fees, or a new service agreement.
7. Maintenance and Updates
Maintenance and updates may include software updates, WordPress updates, plugin updates, theme updates, dependency updates, security patches, monitoring checks, backup checks, minor bug fixes, or technical adjustments only where included in the applicable plan or agreement.
Unlimited updates are included only where expressly stated in the applicable package or written agreement. If unlimited updates are expressly included for the first year, they apply only for the first year and only within the scope, limits, and exclusions stated in the package or agreement.
Second-year maintenance, support, updates, monitoring, backup management, hosting support, or ongoing technical assistance require a separate renewal, support plan, maintenance plan, or written agreement and may require additional fees.
8. Bug Fixes
Bug fixes depend on:
- The agreed project scope
- The applicable package or support plan
- Whether the issue was caused by DXBMARK's work
- Whether the issue is reproducible
- Whether the issue arose during the agreed review or support period
- Whether the customer or a third party modified the system
- Whether the issue is caused by hosting, DNS, domain, email, plugin, theme, API, browser, device, payment provider, third-party platform, or customer-side changes
Bug fixes outside the agreed scope, outside the support period, caused by customer changes, caused by third-party providers, or requiring complex investigation may require additional fees.
9. Complex Issues and Extra Fees
Complex issues may require additional fees, including issues involving:
- Server or infrastructure failures

- DNS or domain issues
- Email deliverability issues
- Malware cleanup
- Data recovery
- Custom exports or migrations
- Performance optimization

Minor content updates may be included only where the written package or agreement expressly includes them.
11. Hosting, Domains, and Third-Party Providers
DXBMARK is not responsible for the customer's external hosting, domain, DNS, email, CDN, VPS, server, cloud account, payment account, app store account, repository, analytics account, or third-party provider unless DXBMARK expressly agrees to manage that service in writing.
If the customer owns, controls, purchases, or independently manages a provider account, the customer is responsible for:
- Provider billing
- Renewals
- Access control
- Security settings
- Backups
- Uptime
- Provider support
- Account recovery
- Policy compliance
- Provider terms and fees
DXBMARK may assist with third-party provider issues as an additional service where agreed.
12. Domain Renewal Rules
A domain may be bundled with a hosting, VPS, managed infrastructure, website, or package plan where expressly stated in the applicable agreement.
Where a domain is bundled with hosting, VPS, managed infrastructure, or a package plan, renewal of the domain may depend on renewal of the related hosting or infrastructure package.
If the domain is separated from the package, transferred, renewed independently, maintained outside the original package, or no longer covered by the package, separate annual domain renewal fees may apply based on the registrar's market price, provider pricing, or written agreement.
DXBMARK is not responsible for domain expiration, DNS loss, domain suspension, transfer delay, registrar action, or renewal failure where the customer controls the domain or fails to pay required renewal fees.
13. Backups and Recovery
Backups depend on the applicable service plan, hosting environment, backup configuration, infrastructure provider, package, and written agreement.
Backup frequency, retention period, restoration availability, restoration time, and restoration cost are not guaranteed unless expressly stated in writing.
DXBMARK does not guarantee 100% recovery of data. Recovery may not be possible where data has been intentionally deleted, maliciously altered, sabotaged, corrupted, overwritten, removed outside the available backup retention window, or affected by a third-party provider failure outside DXBMARK's control.
Restoration is generally limited to the latest available valid backup or the backup period stated in the applicable agreement.
14. Uptime and Availability
Uptime commitments apply only where expressly stated in a written SLA, hosting plan, service plan, proposal, invoice, or agreement.
Without a written uptime commitment, DXBMARK does not guarantee:
- Any specific uptime percentage
- Continuous availability
- Error-free operation
- Availability at specific times
- Immediate incident response
- Service credits for downtime
DXBMARK is not responsible for outages caused by third-party providers, customer-side issues, domain or DNS problems, payment failures, provider suspensions, customer modifications, force majeure events, or issues outside DXBMARK's control unless DXBMARK expressly accepted responsibility in writing.
