Renewals & Payments

Payments are accepted via PayPal.

Products Update automatically renew until cancelled. Payment is due on the quarterly of the date of signup each month. If payment is not received within 5 days of the due date, HardSoftCode will suspend the Products update until full payment is received and reserves the right to suspend any and all related services for the account in question.

For services, payments are due in advance of any work commencing. For larger custom development services, payments may be split into multiple payments, commonly consisting of a 50% deposit prior to any work commencing, and the remainder upon completion, however this option will only be offered at HardSoftCode discretion.

Should we receive a chargeback or disputed payment, all services will be revoked until any disputed amounts have been repaid, plus any fees incurred which are typically $20 per chargeback.

All licenses are normally issued instantly upon confirmation of receipt of payment from the gateway processor. Should your payment turn out to be fraudulent, the license will be suspended and you will be expected to repay the amount + any fees incurred.

Products Source Code will be send to the PayPal payment email manually and these usually take between 24 & 48 hours to complete, but this is not a guaranteed turnaround time.

Cancellations & Refunds Policy

Any monies paid for products update renewals prior to a cancellation request being submitted are non-refundable. The same applies to any services, where once the service has been started, any fees paid also become non-refundable.

HardSoftCode reserves the right to cancel service and access to the service at any time. If a customer breaks the terms of the HardSoftCode EULA or Terms of Service, a refund will not be available.

Any charge-backs you attempt to make via PayPal will be argued strenuously by us with reference to these terms and conditions of sale. You must ensure you fully read our terms as well as the website description of any Product you purchase, as no refunds will be available unless the product you purchased is significantly different from what is described by us on this website.
