The Agreement applies to all purchases of Products made or confirmed through this website and/or through Our mobile app (individually and collectively, the "Website") or made or confirmed through other mutually agreed upon means. You understand and agree that this Agreement is enforceable against you and any entity with which you are employed or affiliated and on whose behalf the Products are used. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of yourself and such entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind the entity to this Agreement. The terms "You" and "Your" refer to you, individually, and to each such entity. You hereby represent and warrant that You have CAREFULLY read and understood this Agreement, that You are of legal age under the laws of Your country (e.g., eighteen years of age or older in the European Union and United States), and that You accept this Agreement freely, voluntarily, and with full knowledge and understanding of its terms and conditions.
- 1.3 The Privacy Shield Policy is as set forth below and is part of this Agreement.
2. Order
- 2.1 Avangate cannot guarantee that the Products are in stock. Avangate reserves the right to reject Your submission of an order to purchase Products ("Order") at any time and without any liability to Avangate if, in Avangate's sole discretion, it is unable to process or fulfill Your Order. Avangate shall have this right of rejection even if You should receive a notice via the Website that the Order was successfully submitted or completed (or similar language).
- 2.2 Promptly following any rejection by Avangate of Your Order, Avangate will refund any prior payments that You have made for the Products included in that Order.
- 2.3 You confirm that all information provided by You when placing an Order is complete, accurate and up-to-date so as to allow Avangate to fulfill Your Order, and You will promptly update such information to keep it complete and accurate. You may update Your information via Avangate myAccount.
- 2.4 If You provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, or if Avangate has reason to believe that the information You provided is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, Avangate may: (a) suspend or terminate Your account; (b) if permitted by applicable law, use electronic self-help means to terminate Your ability to access the Products; and/or (c) terminate this Agreement.
- 2.5 You will maintain the confidentiality of Your password, user ID, and other account credentials. You shall immediately notify Avangate of any unauthorized use of Your account credentials, or any other breach of security that is known or suspected by You.
- 2.6 You consent to the use of electronic communications in transacting business with Avangate, including, without limitation, the electronic delivery of notices and other documents to You. If at any time You would like to cease doing business electronically with Avangate, You will need to provide Avangate with written notice of Your withdrawal of Your consent to do business electronically, which will then terminate this consent. Thereafter, You shall not use this Website to place any Orders, and any notices and documents from Avangate will be provided to You on paper.
3. Price and Payment
- 3.1 Prices are as specified on the Website; however, Avangate reserves the right to adjust prices in its sole discretion due to increases in costs (including, without limitation, delivery costs or costs of any materials), the increase or imposition of any tax, duty or other levy, any variation in exchange rates, or any programming, data or other errors. Prices for the Products are exclusive of shipping, handling, duties, and taxes, all of which shall be paid by You.
- 3.2 Prior to Product delivery, Avangate will notify You in writing via email of any price increases (a "Notification Email"). The Notification Email will be sent to You at the email address that We have in Our records for You. By no later than the deadline set forth in the Notification Email, You may cancel Your Order for the Product for which the price was increased (a) via Avangate myAccount or (b) by sending a reply email to the Notification Email. If You do not so cancel Your Order within said deadline, You accept the new prices and conditions for the Product as set forth in the Notification Email.
- 3.3 You shall make payment for Your Order prior to Product delivery and by one of the methods that are indicated on the Website (or by such other method as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by You and Avangate). When You place Your Order, Avangate will charge the credit or debit card that You provided to Avangate. If You do not pay applicable taxes to Avangate for the Product, You must report and pay any applicable taxes to the appropriate governmental agencies.
- 3.4 Avangate reserves the right to verify Your credit or debit card payments. In case of any non-payment to Avangate following Product delivery, Avangate may, without notification to You, transmit claims to the parties for which Avangate acted as a reseller (the "Vendor"), and the Vendor or Avangate shall have the right to repossess and resell such Products, and You hereby grant Avangate, the Vendor, and their designated agents all rights available under applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to use electronic self-help means to terminate Your ability to access the Products, or otherwise repossess or reclaim the Products from You.
- 3.5 As between You and Avangate, You shall be responsible for any fraudulent or unauthorized transactions made through the Website, including, without limitation, using Your account credentials, credit card or debit card.

- 4.2 Delivery will be made to the address You provided to Avangate for Your Order.

Avangate reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to impose additional charges for any adjustments You make to an Order (e.g., delivery address) after You submit an Order.
- 4.3 All risk of loss for the Products shall pass to You upon delivery of the Products to the location specified in Your Order (even if no signature is required for delivery). For the avoidance of doubt, the delivery of downloaded Products occurs when the Products are downloaded. If You should refuse or fail to take delivery of the Products, all risk of loss for the Products will thereupon pass to You and, upon the demand of Avangate, You shall pay Avangate for the Products plus any additional amounts incurred by Avangate as a result of Your refusal or failure to take delivery of the Products, including, without limitation, attempting delivery of the Products by any reasonable means, or storing the Products. Avangate will be entitled to dispose of the Products in such manner as it sees fit if You have not taken delivery of the Products within thirty (30) days after (a) the scheduled date of delivery or (b) the date on which delivery was first attempted, whichever is later.
- 4.4 Except as Clause 2I.2 or 12.1 may apply to Your Order, or as described by Avangate in the Order form for Your Order, You are not entitled to revoke or cancel in whole or in part any Order.
- 4.5 Title to the Products (or, if licensed, Your copy of the Products) will pass to You when Avangate receives payment in full for the Products (including, without limitation, any interest and other amounts due for the Products).
- 4.6 Unless and only to the extent permitted by the EULA or applicable law, if You are a consumer, You shall not resell the Products until after title therein has passed to You.
