Let us build your kiosk
Porteus Kiosk offers a wide range of customizations through our Kiosk Wizard utility.
In some cases this may not be enough to fulfill user/business needs so we are pleased to offer a commercial 'Customized Builds' service which will help you to modify the kiosk ISO with additional functions not available by default in our operating system.
Process
a) Your role is to specify which functions needs to be added to the ISO and our role is to provide a price quotation for the build. We reserve the right to ask for a deposit paid in advance to secure the entire customization process.
b) Delivery time depends on complexity and complications we come across when making the build. Usually it takes a working day for simple customization and up to a few weeks for large/complicated ones. We always provide testing images and seek feedback along the way when assembling the build.
c) Next step in the process is to pay an invoice which is issued to you before delivering the final version of your customized ISO.
d) Once we receive the payment you are supplied with the final version of the customized kiosk ISO which can be installed on an unlimited number of PCs. You can configure your kiosks as normal through the kiosk wizard utility. Please do not send us your kiosk configs as they are not required.
e) After installation your systme has all the standard functions selected in the first run wizard and additional ones provided in the extra component(s) which we have integrated into your build.
Terms and conditions that apply to customized builds
1) Before you buy the customized build you are obliged to try Porteus Kiosk or its variant (you can download our systems for free and use for as long as you want) to make sure that your hardware is fully compatible with it. This is required to avoid the situation where we do all the heavy work, you pay us money and after a week or month you find out that linux driver causes troubles for your display or wifi does not work reliably. In this case we wont return the money as we have performed the customization job correctly. Please make sure that your hardware is compatible with our system before querying us for a customized build.
2) If some driver/firmware is missing or is not working correctly then please test your hardware on some other Linux distribution like Ubuntu or Fedora. It other distributions work better than Porteus Kiosk then we could add missing component or upgrade the kernel to make your custom build compatible with your hardware. In this case additional payment may be required.
3) Bugs which are related to additional functions included in customized builds will be fixed without an additional charge. If you request new features then they will need to be paid separately.
4) If the problem is related to a customization and is unsolvable then we return the money that you have paid to us. You will need to prove that both condtions are true. SSH and VNC access to the kiosk may be required in order to troubleshoot the problem. We will query your for the connection details like kiosk IP, SSH/VNC password, port if needed.
5) We accept online payments only: bank transfer (preferred), PayPal or credit card payment. Please do not send us bank checks as our bank: ING Bank Slaski does not accept them. Payment details are included in the invoice which we send to you.
Custom build upgrade
New features added to your customized ISO will be implemented in a separate module. If you want to upgrade the kiosk to new a version then you need to move such module to new ISO following our documentation: link.
We cant guarantee that custom module will always be 100% compatible with every new kiosk release. You may try to resolve the compatibility issues yourself or query us for doing it. If you decide to use our service then additional payment will be required.
