Technical Support
Our Rise technical support team is here to help you with product purchase and technical difficulties with product features promoted on the Rise.com site and outlined in our help documentation. Our technical support includes:
Helpful knowledge-base articles, including product release notes
Persistent, always-available chat tool
We can’t help with instructional design or hardware and systems that don’t meet our technical specifications. And while we’re happy to help, we can’t be responsible for issues outside our control such as user error, problems we are unable to reproduce, and third-party hardware/software.
