What post-launch support should include
Support can include monitoring, issue investigation, bug fixes, security updates, backups, performance work, user support, documentation, and approved changes. The exact scope should be written into the agreement.
Warranty, maintenance, and new features
Warranty covers defects against the agreed scope. Maintenance keeps the system stable and current. New features change or expand the product and should be estimated separately unless included in a retainer.
Ownership and continuity
Confirm source-code access, infrastructure ownership, credentials, documentation, backups, deployment process, and exit support. Nubalink is open to source-code and ownership transfer after full completion when the agreement requires it.
Nubalink's support model
Nubalink offers complete maintenance and support after launch. Agreements commonly include one or two initial support months, followed by optional paid monthly maintenance. Response expectations and included work depend on the support agreement.
