Elkuator helps institutions, publishers, and journal teams launch, upgrade, secure, and maintain reliable Open Journal Systems platforms.
Each engagement is scoped according to the installation size, server condition, theme and plugin compatibility, migration risk, interface requirements, and required support level. Published prices are starting references unless a package is explicitly stated as fixed, and a technical assessment may be required before a final quotation is issued.

Taxes, payment-processing charges, third-party licences, provider price changes, content entry, data recovery, custom development, and work outside the agreed scope are billed separately.
Clear information about payment, ownership, support limits, revisions, third-party services, and upgrade conditions.
Upgrade prices assume that Elkuator receives suitable administrator and server access, current backups can be created, the database is recoverable, and the installation does not contain undisclosed major corruption or unsupported custom code. Complex recovery, server migration, historical data reconstruction, custom-theme repair, and extensive plugin remediation require a separate quotation. A paid technical assessment may be required and may be credited to the project when stated in the quotation.
