Terms & Conditions

By agreeing to these terms & conditions, you are also agreeing to our Returns Policy.

We cannot be held responsible for orders “made in error”, and/or the wrong products being ordered.

Refunds can only be processed IF, in the unlikely event, that a license key is faulty.

If you’re unsure of which product to purchase, please email us at [email protected] beforehand.

Digital downloads are given their own unique category under the Consumer Contracts Regulations and are therefore not services or goods.

If you want to download/use something within 14 days of buying it, you agree to these terms and conditions and you are automatically giving your consent, and agree to waive your cancellation rights.

This is to protect digital goods sellers against certain users abusing the system, by purchasing a license key, using it, then applying for a refund.

Please read all these terms and conditions.

As we can accept your order and make a legally enforceable agreement without further reference to you, you must read these terms and conditions to make sure that they contain all that you want and nothing that you are not happy with. If you are not sure about anything, write to us on [email protected]

Personal information

  • We retain and use all information strictly under the Privacy Policy.
  • We may contact you by using e-mail or other electronic communication methods and by pre-paid post and you expressly agree to this.

Basis of Sale

  • The description of the Services and any Goods in our website does not constitute a contractual offer to sell the Services or Goods. When an Order has been submitted on the Website, we can reject it for any reason, although we will try to tell you the reason without delay.
  • The Order process is set out on the Website. Each step allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting the Order. It is your responsibility to check that you have used the ordering process correctly.

  • We intend that these Terms and Conditions apply only to a Contract entered into by you as a Consumer. If this is not the case, you must tell us, so that we can provide you with a different contract with terms which are more appropriate for you and which might, in some respects, be better for you, e.g. by giving you rights as a business.

Fees and Payment

  • The price of any Goods (if not included in the Fees) and any additional delivery or other charges is that set out on the Website at the date we accept the Order.
  • Fees and charges include VAT at the rate applicable at the time of the Order.

Delivery

  • We will deliver the Services, including any Goods, to the Delivery Email by the time or within the agreed period.

  • You agree we may deliver the Goods in instalments if we suffer a shortage of stock or other genuine and fair reason, subject to the above provisions and provided you are not liable for extra charges.
  • If you or your nominee fail, through no fault of ours, to take delivery of the Services at the Delivery Location, we may charge the reasonable costs of storing and redelivering them.
  • The Goods will become your responsibility from the completion of delivery or Customer collection. You must, if reasonably practicable, examine the Goods before accepting them.

Risk and Title

  • Risk of damage to, or loss of, any Goods will pass to you when the Goods are delivered to you.
  • You do not own the Goods until we have received payment in full. If full payment is overdue or a step occurs towards your bankruptcy, we can choose, by notice to cancel any delivery and end any right to use the Goods still owned by you, in which case you must return them or allow us to collect them.

Withdrawal and cancellation

  • Please refer to the top of this page for your cancellation rights. By making a purchase, you are agreeing to these terms.

Deduction for Goods supplied

  • We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you (i.e. handling the Goods beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods: e.g. it goes beyond the sort of handling that might be reasonably allowed in a shop). This is because you are liable for that loss and, if that deduction is not made, you must pay us the amount of that loss.

Timing of reimbursement

  • If we have not offered to collect the Goods, we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:
  • 14 days after the day we receive back from you any Goods supplied, or
  • (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have sent back the Goods.
  • If we have offered to collect the Goods or if no Goods were supplied or to be supplied (ie it is a contract for the supply of services only), we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this Contract.
  • We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.

Returning Goods

  • Please refer to the top of this page for your return rights. By making a purchase, you are agreeing to these terms.

Conformity

  • We have a legal duty to supply the Goods in conformity with the Contract and will not have conformed if it does not meet the following obligation.
  • Consumer accepts that he/she is acting for his own company or on behalf of a third-party company which he/she represents.
  • Consumer accepts and guarantees that he is VAT registered and is using his real VAT number or, in the case he has not used his VAT number upon purchase, he agrees to send it to the Supplier after purchase. In the case that these conditions are not met, the Supplier will have to charge VAT to the order.
  • Upon delivery, the Goods will:
  • be of satisfactory quality;
  • be reasonably fit for any particular purpose for which you buy the Goods which, before the Contract is made, you made known to us (unless you do not actually rely, or it is unreasonable for you to rely, on our skill and judgment) and be fit for any purpose held out by us or set out in the Contract; and conform to their description.
  • It is not a failure to conform if the failure has its origin in your materials.
  • We will supply the Services with reasonable skill and care.
  • In relation to the Services, anything we say or write to you, or anything someone else says or writes to you on our behalf, about us or about the Services, is a term of the Contract (which we must comply with) if you take it into account when deciding to enter this Contract, or when making any decision about the Services after entering into this Contract. Anything you take into account is subject to anything that qualified it and was said or written to you by us or on behalf of us on the same occasion, and any change to it that has been expressly agreed between us (before entering this Contract or later).

Duration, termination and suspension

  • The Contract continues as long as it takes us to perform the Services.
  • Either you or we may terminate the Contract or suspend the Services at any time by a written notice of termination or suspension to the other if that other:
  • commits a serious breach, or series of breaches resulting in a serious breach, of the Contract and the breach either cannot be fixed or is not fixed within 30 days of the written notice; or
  • is subject to any step towards its bankruptcy or liquidation.
  • On termination of the Contract for any reason, any of our respective remaining rights and liabilities will not be affected.

Successors and our sub-contractors

  • Either party can transfer the benefit of this Contract to someone else, and will remain liable to the other for its obligations under the Contract. The Supplier will be liable for the acts of any sub-contractors who it chooses to help perform its duties.

Circumstances beyond the control of either party

  • In the event of any failure by a party because of something beyond its reasonable control:
  • the party will advise the other party as soon as reasonably practicable; and
  • the party’s obligations will be suspended so far as is reasonable, provided that that party will act reasonably, and the party will not be liable for any failure which it could not reasonably avoid, but this will not affect the Customer’s above rights relating to delivery (and the right to cancel below).

Excluding liability

  • The Supplier does not exclude liability for: (i) any fraudulent act or omission; or (ii) death or personal injury caused by negligence or breach of the Supplier’s other legal obligations. Subject to this, we are not liable for (i) loss which was not reasonably foreseeable to both parties at the time when the Contract was made, or (ii) loss (eg loss of profit) to your business, trade, craft or profession which would not be suffered by a Consumer – because we believe you are not buying the Services and Goods wholly or mainly for your business, trade, craft or profession.

Governing law, jurisdiction and complaints

  • The Contract (including any non-contractual matters) is governed by the law of England and Wales.
  • Disputes can be submitted to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales or, where the Customer lives in Scotland or Northern Ireland, in the courts of respectively Scotland or Northern Ireland.
