Support Policy

Business Sign-off & Approval for Jira Cloud

Effective Date: February 17, 2026
Last Updated: April 25, 2026
Vendor: Cahaba Forge LLC

Support Tier

All customers with a valid Jira Cloud Marketplace license for Business Sign-off & Approval receive Standard Support as described in this policy. Cahaba Forge LLC may introduce additional support tiers in the future.

Relationship to the EULA

This Support Policy is incorporated by reference into the Cahaba Forge End User License Agreement (EULA) and forms part of the contractual relationship between Cahaba Forge LLC and Licensee. In the event of a conflict between this Support Policy and the EULA, the EULA shall control, except with respect to the specific support practices described herein.

Supported Platform

Business Sign-off & Approval for Jira Cloud is built on the Atlassian Forge platform and runs entirely within Atlassian’s cloud infrastructure.

Cahaba Forge is responsible for:

  • Application logic and configuration
  • User-facing functionality and app behavior
  • Data stored via Forge Storage APIs
  • App-level support and defect resolution

Atlassian is responsible for:

  • Hosting, scaling, and infrastructure availability
  • Jira Cloud platform availability and performance
  • Forge runtime environment and security isolation
  • User authentication and identity management

Some service availability and performance characteristics depend on Atlassian’s Forge platform and Jira Cloud services. Incidents caused by Atlassian platform outages will be tracked and communicated, but resolution timelines are subject to Atlassian’s remediation efforts.

Severity Classifications

Severity Description
Critical App functionality is unavailable or unusable across one or more Jira Cloud projects (e.g., approvals cannot be completed or recorded, audit trail inaccessible, app prevents normal Jira usage)
High Major feature is non-functional with no reasonable workaround (e.g., approvals cannot be recorded, workflow validators failing, email notifications not sending)
Medium Feature is operational but with a limitation or workaround required (e.g., CSV export failing, UI display issue, configuration not saving correctly)
Low Questions, feature requests, documentation clarifications, minor cosmetic issues

Response Time Commitments

Response times are measured in business days from the time a properly categorized support request is received through a supported channel.

Severity Target First Response
Critical 1 business day
High 2 business days
Medium 3 business days
Low 5 business days

Cahaba Forge is committed to meeting the response time targets defined in this policy for supported customers. While resolution times may vary based on issue complexity and dependencies on the Atlassian Cloud platform, Cahaba Forge will respond to reported issues within the target timeframes under normal operating conditions.

The response time commitments in this section constitute Cahaba Forge LLC’s service level commitments for the App. Infrastructure availability, hosting, and platform performance are provided by Atlassian’s Forge platform and Jira Cloud services and are subject to Atlassian’s own service level commitments. Cahaba Forge LLC does not provide separate uptime or availability commitments for infrastructure operated by Atlassian.

Issue Resolution

Cahaba Forge will make commercially reasonable efforts to resolve confirmed defects as expeditiously as possible, with priority given based on severity classification. Resolution may include configuration guidance, a workaround, a patch, or a fix in the next scheduled release.

Because Business Sign-off runs on Jira Cloud and the Atlassian Forge platform, resolution timelines may depend on upstream Atlassian platform availability or behavior.

Important Notes

  • Response time commitments apply to customers with a current, valid Marketplace license.
  • Response time commitments do not apply during force majeure events.

Hours of Operation

Details
Business Hours Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Central Time (US)
Timezone CT (UTC-6 / UTC-5 during daylight saving)
Holidays US federal holidays observed (as published by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management at opm.gov)

Critical severity issues submitted outside business hours will be acknowledged and triaged on the next business day. In exceptional cases where a widespread outage or data integrity issue is suspected, Cahaba Forge may respond sooner at its discretion.

How to Report Issues

Bug Reports

When submitting a bug report, include the following information to help us resolve the issue quickly:

1. Environment details:

  • Jira Cloud site URL (e.g., yourcompany.atlassian.net)
  • Browser and version (for UI issues)
  • Number of users or projects affected

2. Problem description:

  • What you expected to happen
  • What actually happened
  • Steps to reproduce the issue
  • Whether the issue is intermittent or consistent

3. Supporting materials:

  • Screenshots or screen recordings
  • Browser console output (for UI issues)
  • Any error messages displayed by the app

4. Severity assessment:

  • Impact on your team (blocking, degraded, minor inconvenience)
  • Whether a workaround exists

Enabling Diagnostic Logging

Business Sign-off includes a built-in diagnostic logging toggle on the app’s global configuration page. When enabled, the app captures detailed trace logs for troubleshooting. Diagnostic logging automatically expires after the configured duration (1–8 hours) to prevent excessive log volume. Details of what is and is not captured in diagnostic logs are set out in the Cahaba Forge Privacy Policy, Diagnostic Logging section. Cahaba Forge support may ask you to enable diagnostic logging to assist with issue diagnosis.

Feature Requests

Feature requests are welcome and can be submitted through the same support channels. Please include:

  • A description of the desired functionality
  • The business problem it would solve
  • How you currently work around the missing feature (if applicable)
  • Priority relative to other requests (nice-to-have vs. business-critical)

Feature requests are tracked and prioritized for future releases. There is no guaranteed timeline for feature request implementation.

What Is Covered

Support covers:

  • App configuration and usage guidance
  • Bug diagnosis and resolution
  • Guidance on workflow integration (conditions, validators, post functions)
  • Clarification of app behavior and capabilities
  • Jira Cloud compatibility questions
  • Assistance with approval workflow setup

What Is Not Covered

Support does not cover:

  • General Jira Cloud administration (contact Atlassian Support)
  • Behavior caused by Atlassian platform outages or Forge runtime issues (Cahaba Forge will help identify whether the app or the platform is the cause)
  • Third-party app conflicts (Cahaba Forge will help isolate whether Business Sign-off is the cause)
  • Data recovery from customer-initiated actions (e.g., app uninstall, project deletion)
  • Automation rules or scripts that interact with the app’s custom fields (best-effort guidance only)

Security Vulnerability Reporting

If you discover a security vulnerability in Business Sign-off, please report it responsibly:

  1. Email security@cahabaforge.com with “SECURITY” in the subject line
  2. Include a description of the vulnerability and steps to reproduce
  3. Do not publicly disclose the vulnerability until a fix is available

Cahaba Forge targets the following remediation timelines for confirmed vulnerabilities:

  • Critical vulnerabilities (within the app’s application code): Fix within 2 weeks of confirmation
  • High vulnerabilities (within the app’s application code): Fix within 4 weeks of confirmation
  • Medium/Low vulnerabilities: Fix in the next scheduled release

Vulnerabilities in the Atlassian Forge platform, Jira Cloud, or other Atlassian-managed infrastructure are outside the scope of these remediation timelines and are subject to Atlassian’s own security response processes. Cahaba Forge will assist in reporting such issues to Atlassian.

Note on Personal Data Breach notification: If a confirmed security vulnerability results in, or is reasonably believed to have resulted in, a Personal Data Breach affecting a Licensee’s data, Cahaba Forge’s notification obligations are governed by Section 12 of the Cahaba Forge Data Processing Addendum, which takes precedence over this Support Policy for breach notification matters.

Software Updates

App updates are delivered automatically through the Atlassian Forge platform. When a new version is published, it is deployed to all customer sites — no manual action is required.

  • Non-breaking updates (bug fixes, minor enhancements): Deployed without prior notice.
  • Significant feature changes: Communicated through the Atlassian Marketplace changelog and, where appropriate, in-app release notes.
  • Breaking changes (changes to stored data format, removal of features, or changes that require administrator action): Communicated with at least fourteen (14) days’ prior notice through the Cahaba Forge website and/or email notification.

End of Life

In the event that Business Sign-off & Approval for Jira Cloud is discontinued:

  • Customers will receive at least ninety (90) days’ prior notice through the Cahaba Forge website and email notification.
  • Support will continue through the end of each customer’s current paid license term.
  • No new licenses will be sold after the end-of-life announcement.
  • Existing data in Forge Storage and Jira issue properties will remain accessible for the duration of the notice period. Data retention after app removal is subject to Atlassian’s standard policies for uninstalled Forge apps.

Changes to This Policy

Cahaba Forge LLC may update this Support Policy to reflect changes in support practices, capabilities, or business operations. Material changes — including changes to response time commitments, severity classifications, or support scope — will be communicated with at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice through the Cahaba Forge website and/or email notification. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this document indicates when the policy was last revised.
