This Client Support Policy ("Policy") describes the client support services provided by Quantive to all clients with active Master Service Agreements.
Support Channels
Online Resources
You can take advantage of the self-service support resources available online at the Quantive Help Center. The portal includes user guides, documentation, knowledge base articles, product update information and more.
Chat
Customers can get assistance for technical issues, product functionality inquiries or billing requests via the chat channel. Chat is available as an in app extension (lower right corner) on any page withing your Quantive Results account or on the https://quantive.com website.
When a customer starts a chat Quantive might request additional information about their login or the nature of their issue in order to ensure routing it to the best suited internal resource. Quantive will utilize commercially best effort to respond to chats opened in working hours within several minutes. If Quantive determines that a request raised via chat requires more time to complete the agent will open a corresponding issue on behalf of the customer in the Quantive Support portal and continue providing support there.
This channel should not be used for submitting issues of highest priority. Submit a support ticket with Highest priority instead.
Ticketing portal
Support requests and Bug reports should be submitted to our ticketing system. For detailed guide on how to submit and manage your existing support communication via the portal see: How to contact Quantive Results Support | Quantive Help Center
NOTE: If you're experiencing a production outage or issue of Critical severity, make sure to set the priority to Highest. This way the team can properly prioritize your request and react on time.

While we constantly strive to assist in any way we can, there can be situations that are outside our control. Technical support does not include support for any other issues not directly related to the workings of our service.
