Violation of the Licensing Agreement
If any of the above terms are violated, Ascad Networks reverses the right to do any of the following:
Liability
ppSD2 is provided "as is". By installing and using ppSD2, you assume the entire risk of using the program. Any liability of Ascad Networks is limited exclusively to product replacement or refund of the purchased price. Ascad Networks is not liable for the content of any site on which ppSD2 is installed and running. Ascad Networks is not liable for any damages including lost profits, lost data, and damages arising from the use of ppSD2.
Ascad Networks cannot guarantee that the purchase software is free of bugs. In the event that a bug is reported, Ascad Networks attempts to resolve the issue within a reasonable timeframe.
Software Updates: Ascad Networks periodically issues updates to all of its software. It is the end-user's responsibility to download and install these updates. Updates improve software performance and remove bugs.
Refund Policy
The program comes with a 30-day money back guarantee. A money back guarantee applies in the following cases:
Custom Programming: In the event that the end-user purchases custom programming and then requests a refund, the manual labor fee associated with the custom programming will not be refunded (billed at $85/hour).
Verification of End-User's Claim: Ascad Networks reserves the right to verify the end-user's refund request in the event that the issue is related to server-incompatibility. Before a refund is issued, Ascad Networks requires that the end-user provide full FTP access. Ascad Networks will attempt to solve the issue. If the claim of server-incompatibility is confirmed, meaning that Ascad Networks cannot make the software function on the end-user's server, a refund will be issued.
Refunds On or After 30 Days: No refunds will ever be issued after 30 days, regardless of whether they meet the above listed specifications.
Removal of Software: Before a refund is issued, the end-user must remove ppSD2 from both local computers and web servers. In the event that the program is used following a refund being issued, the end-user will be charged for the price of a license.
Requesting a Refund: All refunds must be requested by phone. To request a refund, call (630) 214-9598 anytime from 10AM to 5PM (Central). Please have your order number ready.
