Payment Terms and Conditions

2.1 Payment Service Provider

The Services are sold through our main third party payment processor ("Digital Commerce Provider"): Avangate (http://www.avangate.com/).

You are therefore advised to review such terms prior to purchase: http://www.avangate.com/terms.php

2.2 Payment Cycle

The Services are billed in advance on a yearly basis. This means that if you decide to purchase one of our subscription plans available on the Website, you will be charged automatically on a yearly basis from the payment source you have provided. Renewal notifications will be sent to you by email to the email address provided at purchase.

2.3. Subscription cancellation

If you do not want to use The Services anymore, you need to cancel your subscription (from the section myAccount). The recurring payment terminates only when you cancel the subscription. There will be no refunds for partial years of your Services usage, when you cancel your Services before the end of your current, paid-up year, and you will not be charged thereafter. There is no cancellation fee.

2.4 Subscription refunds

We provide a 30-day money back guarantee. In case of unwanted duplicate payments or fraudulent orders, we will refund the money immediately. Refund requests for reasons like: the Services are too complicated for me, I did not understand what your Services offers, I thought it is a one time payment, not a subscription, I don't like the look and feel of your Services (after the first 30 days) are not accepted – our 15 days Trial Versions and all the data on our website should have made you understand what we offer in exchange for that money, so just cancel the subscription and you may use the Services for the amount of time you have paid for.

2.5 Subscription Management through myAccount

When you initiate a purchase from this Website, the payment will be processed by our Digital Commerce Provider, who will automatically create a customer account for you ("myAccount").

You can use it to download license keys for purchased products, view order details, download invoices, renew licenses, etc. Access to Avangate myAccount is available online at https://secure.avangate.com/myaccount/
