We care about your shop and want you to create a successful online business. We are happy to answer any questions you have with setting up your theme and configuring the settings to match your unique brand. Below you will find the full scope of support we offer:
Any support question submitted to the Support Center will be considered high priority and will be responded to as soon as possible. The Support Center is our official channel for support.
We aim to provide feedback for all requests within 24 hours, but please allow up to 1-2 business days for a response.
In some cases you may receive a response within just a few hours depending on ticket volume. Our support team is primarily based in the Canadian and U.S. Eastern time zone and is available during standard business hours.
For maximum efficiency in resolving your issue as quickly as possible, we recommend including as many details, as outlined in this blog post, either in your original request or a follow up email.
Requests are generally answered on a first come, first served basis and there is no way to mark a request as "urgent" or high priority. If you are experiencing an major issue with your store, we suggest using the tips here.
After submitting a support request, you should receive a confirmation email from our system within a few minutes. If this has not arrived after 10-15 minutes, please check to see if it is your "junk" or "spam" filter and, if so, add us to your "safe" senders or whitelist.
If the original confirmation email is routed to your junk folder, it is likely our response will be as well. If you are not able to find a confirmation email from us, it is possible you entered your email address incorrectly so you may want to follow up and provide a correct address.
If you purchase a priority support subscription, your help requests, which must be submitted via the dedicated form in the Theme Updater App, will typically receive faster responses. However, there are some important things to note about this plan:
Our support does come with some additional limitations:
Some other important notes about our support:
We reserve the right to restrict support and potentially withdraw support based on what Out of the Sandbox deems as inappropriate behaviour.
The following behaviour is not tolerated:
It is our commitment to fix any theme issue or bug as quickly as possible after they are brought to our attention. Once we determine that the issue is with the standard theme, we will provide you with a fix and proceed to update the theme for all customers to access. If there is an issue due to a modification to the default template files, we will advise on how to revert the theme back to the original.
A theme customization is considered to be anything that directly modifies the original template files of the default theme.
When editing your template files from the Template Editor, you can click on the 'Older Versions' link to revert any changes that have been made.
For more details on the differences between a theme customization and theme issue, read this blog post.
Please note that any custom code is written just for your store and may not have been fully tested and we are unable to guarantee it will be error free.
Also, please note that even if we help with customizations, we cannot help transfer these changes to a new version of the theme should you decide to upgrade at a later time (please see this blog post for more things to consider before having us or anyone else customize your theme).
When creating a staff account for Out of the Sandbox support staff, we are not liable for any changes, customizations, or alterations to your shop that may result in lost profits or any special, incidental or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with our products or services, whether these changes are made by our team or through unauthorized access via our account.
You also expressly understand and agree that customizations made by Out of the Sandbox support may not have been fully tested and may require additional development time that is outside the scope of complimentary support.
While Out of the Sandbox maintains a list of suggested developers and other professionals who can assist with tasks that extend above our support or maybe suggest specific ones via email or other methods, these companies run separately from Out of the Sandbox are not endorsed by Out of the Sandbox and we are unable to provide assistance resolving issues with these developers.
We do, however, encourage customers to provide us with detailed information if a provider does not meet expectations and we may consider removing them from our list of suggested developers at our sole discretion.
Out of the Sandbox may receive a commission from referring customers to third party developers.
The Parallax theme ticks all the boxes. Great features, easy to customise, fantastic theme support. Love it!

Not only do I like working with this theme but the team behind Out of the Sandbox is incredible. They are always there for implementation support or any questions I have about using the theme.
Melanie Audrey, Parallax Theme
Customer support is excellent and I wish they were customer support for daily life - they're actually helpful and don't make you feel silly for asking a question, and quick to respond! We're extremely happy with Responsive and Out of the Sandbox.
Pacific Northfresh, Responsive Theme
The support is unbelievably helpful. They responded to my email quickly and were able to help me accomplish everything I was looking to do with the template. I couldn't be happier with it - it was definitely a great investment.
