However, we will consider requests based on bugs/defects that we can't resolve in a reasonable period of time.
We require support information and customer assistance in our steps to resolve the issue, which will be the primary focus.
Refunds due to lacking features, unsuccessful or partial recoveries or other non bug-related issues that could have been evaluated
during the evaluation period won't be considered.
In certain cases, we may offer a partial refund.

I'm a reseller and have a customer who is interested in buying your software. Can you give me a discount?
Yes, of course.
Generally, we offer three levels of distribution partnership: agent, reseller and distributor.
- At the distributor partner level we work with our partners to create an annual joint marketing plan and sales targets which outlines support levels, training programs, co-marketing, promotion and the corresponding prepayment and discount schedules
- Our reseller partners prepay for a set number of licenses on an annual basis which earns the partner the appropriate discount schedule
- Our agents receive a discount based on a one-time sales to a third party with a discount schedule based on the number of copies sold
Typically we starts from 10% discount for agents. If you are interested to become our agent we can grant you 10% discount on any of our software in addition to our regular volume discounts, of course.
The only thing we need from you in this case is your signature to our reseller agreement.
As soon as the agreement is signed we will register you as a reseller and send you permanent coupon code, that will provide you with the 10% discount.

Sales Team for more information
