Can I use my free e-mail address?

You can use such addresses (excluding a few, which are blacklisted due to attempted fraudulent abuse on our eCommerce service). The product you are paying for is delivered via e-mail. You will also receive your order confirmation and receipt via e-mail.

A free e-mail address is a free-of-charge product and generally anonymous. Please note that such services may be discontinued or that you may use such email accounts infrequently/temporarily.

We send important information regarding your purchase via the e-mail address you provide us. Your confirmation email, receipt, invoice, download link and license key will be e-mailed to you. Please take care not to lose this important information.

VERY IMPORTANT: Please do NOT use spam filter protected email addresses that require manual authorization! eCommerce delivers all emails automatically and does not support manual authorization.

What currencies do you accept?

The base currency is $US but you can choose your desired currency from the drop down list during the order process.

If you are from outside the USA, you may want to consider sticking with the base currency. Often the exchange rate from your credit card provider is cheaper than the rate of our eCommerce service. We have no influence over the rate eCommerce using for exchanges.

Delivery

When will I receive my product?

Product delivery depends on the payment option you choose. Credit card orders will be processed instantly and will only be delayed if the credit card needs to be manually verified (please allow 2-3 days delivery delay). If you paid using wire transfer, please allow a few days for the wire transfer to process. We will, however, confirm receipt of payment by email instantly after your order has reached our system. Please also check your junk email folder in case your spam filter is too sensitive.

Data protection and data security

How secure is the order process?

First of all, if you are afraid of passing information over the Internet, we can gladly take you order via our toll free telephone number. The telephone number will be displayed during the purchase procedure.

The order process is protected by a secure connection, so data can only be read by the recipient. Important information such as credit card numbers, addresses, etc. is sent to the recipient securely via the Internet.

All the data entered on the protected pages during the actual purchase procedure is encrypted using the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol. Our servers support SSL Version 3 and 168-bit Triple DES encryption. The RSA module and SSL sessions feature 1024-bit encryption.

In Netscape, you can tell that SSL is activated if you see a closed padlock SSL Verschlüsselung in the lower left corner of the browser window. In Internet Explorer, the padlock icon is located in lower right of the status bar of the browser window.

You can also tell that the page is protected if the URL displayed in the address bar begins with "https:".

These persons are legally and/or contractually obligated to use this data only for the purposes of examining and fulfilling contracts and providing technical support. Use of the data beyond these parameters is not permitted.

We assure you that your personal data will not be passed on to third parties, sold, or rented, unless we have received your explicit authorization to do so or are legally obligated to forward such data.
