REALTYNA SUPPORT POLICY & LICENSES
SUPPORT COVERAGE
One year of free Realtyna Support is included with the purchase of Realtyna Products and is provided according to this support coverage. Support includes complimentary installation assistance (one time), ongoing break/fix support for technical issues related to Realtyna Products and regular Product updates.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please note that the reference point for finding bugs/issues are our demo websites (http://demo.realtyna.com & http://wpl28.realtyna.com). We don't consider 3rd party template issues, conflict with 3rd party products, web-hosting issues, or design preferences as software bugs. It is important to consult with your webmaster before reporting any bugs.
COMPLIMENTARY INSTALLATION ASSISTANCE
Realtyna provides complimentary installation assistance (if needed) for new purchases of Realtyna Products. Complimentary installation assistance is a one-time service for each purchased product. If a customer decides in the future to re-install the product on a new host or otherwise requires a fresh installation, any subsequent installation is not covered or included in the Realtyna support service. Webmaster Service packages are available to purchase for such contingencies.
*Data integration package and mapping are included and covered for all clients that have Realtyna as their data vendor. In case you like to use another vendor or your own data feed, an extra cost for the mapping will be applicable.*
We would like to inform you that the installation work is the part of our commitment to our clients and it’s absolutely free of charge. We highly recommend using this service rather than trying to arrange the installation on your end. If you would like to take advantage of this service, simply share your account info (WordPress +FTP+cPanel and IDX/VOW -RETS or RESO WebAPI- accesses) with us, and we will move forward with the installation of the product(s) and template. The project will be completed within 2~3 working days.
It is important to note that the WEB HOSTING MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS must be met in order to provide this service for our customers. If a customer’s web hosting does not meet these minimum system requirements, it is the customer’s responsibility to change their web hosting.
System Requirements for WPL
Recommended Web-hostings
PROVIDING ACCESS TO YOUR SYSTEMS
In order to provide any technical support request on WPL Pro, including complimentary installation service or to troubleshoot reported problems, the required access rights should be granted to the Realtyna Inc. Technical Team. Such credentials include but are not limited to FTP access, Wordpress administrative access, and in some cases database access. If the aforementioned credentials are not available, technical support cannot be provided. Realtyna will only use your access information to access customer’s systems where it is absolutely necessary to provide the requested support. In all cases where access to customer’s systems is required, Realtyna will make it clear exactly what access is needed, and why.
Realtyna has taken every precaution to ensure the security of our data storage systems so that customer access information is kept secure. There are, however, additional recommended precautions that customers should take before providing access credentials in order to maximize security.
PLEASE NOTE: Customers are strongly advised to make regular backups of all databases and website related files. Realtyna cannot accept responsibility for any loss of data at any time.
RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS
- When providing a Realtyna technician with access to a system, it is always best to create a temporary account with a random password.
a.Create a temporary account (e.g. With the username "RealtynaSupport") with a random and complex password. b.Make sure the account has only the essential permissions required for the support to be provided.
- Once the issue has been resolved, the temporary account should be deleted or disabled as soon as possible.
- Where Realtyna may require access to specific user accounts in order to diagnose user or account-specific problems, or where it is not possible to provide access to a system with temporary account credentials, it is recommended that the password be changed before providing credentials to a Realtyna technician, and then change it again once support work is completed.
ACCESS TO A SUPPORT DESK ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT
Realtyna will commonly require access to an administrator account on your Realtyna support desk. Follow the steps outlined in the RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS section of PROVIDING ACCESS TO YOUR SYSTEMS.
ACCESS TO AN FTP OR SSH ACCOUNT
In order to repair or trace problems, Realtyna support may require access to the files of your support desk installation. Follow the steps outlined in the RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS section of PROVIDING ACCESS TO YOUR SYSTEMS. Make sure that this account is a user-level account that has access to the directory in which the support desk is installed, unless a Realtyna technician specifically requests an unrestricted access account.
ROOT ACCESS TO YOUR SERVER
An account with root access has no permission restrictions, giving unrestricted access. It is rare that a Realtyna technician will ask for root access to your server. This will only occur when our ability to diagnose and resolve your issue absolutely requires it (such as generating or monitoring server logs, or making server configuration changes). When providing us with root/unrestricted access to your systems, it is imperative that you follow the steps outlined in the RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS section of PROVIDING ACCESS TO YOUR SYSTEMS.
ACCESS TO OTHER SYSTEMS
When diagnosing email problems, a Realtyna technician may require direct access to your database or to another one of your systems, such as POP3 or an IMAP e-mail account, in order to perform repairs.
FIREWALLS AND IP-BASED AUTHENTICATION
Please advise Realtyna if access to your systems require IP address authentication (e.g. If you have a firewall) and Realtyna will provide you with the list of our office IP addresses to allow through. If this is not possible due to the network policy of your systems, please consult with Realtyna regarding available alternative options, such as shared and supervised remote control.
MLS INTEGRATION REQUIREMENTS
There are some points that need to be considered in case using MLS Integration:
- Approximately, 5 MB disc space is needed per listing, and it may raise to 15MB for RESO WebAPI feeds. You should make sure the hosting has enough space.
- Images will be saved locally, in your hosting. Therefore, the file count setting of your host should be at leaset 40 times more than the number of listings. If you are interested in CDN support (for saving images on a different server), please contact us.
- The minimum value for Max execution time and timeout should be 180 seconds, and for memory limit should be 512 MB.
- Due to server performance considerations, the default MLS integration maps maximum 150 data fields (listing parameters).
- For checking server configuration, SSH access would be required.
- Once the MLS integration is done successfully and the feed is imported and approved by the client, if the MLS Provider make any modification to their data structure, or rules & regulations, the updates can be done through paid webmaster service.
- 15 Working Days is required for mapping. The synchronization process starts after 15 days and the speed of the synchronization depends on the client’s and the MLS Provider’s server speed.
- MLS add-on works well with most of MLS providers, although a few new MLS providers may have new rules; this way, Realtyna will adapt the product to work with them as well.
HOW TO GET SUPPORT
Realtyna recommends that customers consult the WPL Pro knowledge base and manuals provided prior to requesting support as they contain a wealth of information on the use of WPL Pro as well as answers to commonly asked questions.
Access to support is provided only through an advanced Help Desk system. All support requests, progress updates, and issue resolutions are kept in the ticketing system for manageability, historical documentation, and for ease of access to the current status of support requests.
At this time, Realtyna is unable to provide phone/chat-based support or support through other channels because of security, technical, and management reasons. The telephone number or any live assistance made available on the Realtyna website is ONLY for general inquiries or to report an emergency security issue.
Bugs and technical issues related to WPL Pro or its add-ons will be treated as urgent cases and will be fixed in the shortest possible time. Response time to tickets is no more than 48 hours. Resolution time to tickets may, in special cases, require more than 48 hours to solve the problem.

COVERAGE DEFINITION
One year of free support is covered in Realtyna products. A number of questions regarding third-party issues are addressed in our knowledge base and manuals. If a support question falls outside of the scope of Realtyna support, a technician may direct you to a knowledge base article or a third-party resource for information required to address your inquiry.
There are a number of issues and scenarios for which Realtyna cannot be responsible to provide support. Issues such as web-hosting configuration or third-party customization are not typically related to the Realtyna product, but may affect the performance of our products. These issues may be addressed through one of our optional paid Webmaster Service packages.
Below is a list of issues that fall OUTSIDE of the scope of Realtyna’s support coverage
- Issues related to non-conformity of the customer's web hosting.
- Issues related to WordPress, their settings and third-party components and modules.
a. While Realtyna is based upon Wordpress, Realtyna support is only provided for the its own products, not for Wordpress.

- Security of client's website: Client will be responsible for keeping his/her website and server updated and secure by installing necessary firewalls, updating software products, adding password protected directories for the administrator section of the website, take necessary backups, use strong passwords and all of the necessary actions for this purpose. The Realtyna team is not responsible for such security pre-cautions on the client's website in this support coverage.

- Questions that are answered in Knowledgebase or Manuals
- Adding more languages to your websites. This can be done through our Webmastering service.

SUSPENSION OF SUPPORT
Some conditions negate the ability of Realtyna to provide support. If these conditions occur within the one year of free support, no further support will be provided unless or until the condition is rectified by the customer. Support expires one year from date of purchase, regardless of the period of suspension.
MODIFICATION OF SOURCE CODE
Customers are welcome to modify source code realizing that Realtyna cannot track such changes and is not able to provide support to customized versions/downloaded source codes. If customizations are made, WPL Pro should no longer be updated as customizations will be lost when replaced by the updated version of WPL Pro. For these reasons, Realtyna recommends that customizations should be done by our team so we can add the feature to update the server and the customer can update our products.
NON-STANDARD WEB-WEB HOSTING
Realtyna cannot work with web hosting providers that disable features and cause problems for web based applications. Refer to the section titled WEB HOSTING MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for more information.
NONPAYMENT
