05: INCREMENTAL DEVELOPMENT AND UPGRADE POLICY

Any major version release of the Portal is built on a modular architecture which consists of a finite number of technologies, functionalities and/or processes defined by JiT Portals. These technologies, functionalities and/or processes work together to deliver the features and services you enjoy on the Portal. Depending on when you subscribe to the Portal, all of the components may or may not be available to you. Any unavailable components shall be made available in piecemeal method over the development timeline set for that major version release of the Portal as by JiT Portals.

As part of our fundamental policy of producing only software that conforms with professional software engineering standards and best practices, we allow any component or plug-in to be integrated into the system and made available for your use when and only when the component has gone through and passed all of our many rigorous quality measurement and assurance procedures. You understand and accept that such procedures may not always take an exactly predictable length of time to complete.

We usually will notify you of new components or plug-ins that become ready for integration through e-mail or on-site messages; and we shall proceed to upload the components or plug-ins to our servers as soon as they are ready without necessarily seeking your permission to proceed with the upgrades. Such upgrades will usually take less than an hour to be completed. During such upgrades however, we may temporarily make the Portal or some services unavailable for use; but services shall be restored immediately upon completion of the upgrade or patch-up. You understand and accept this occasional disruption of services due to system upgrades or patches.
