Cancelling a digital download
In all instances please contact us immediately with your cancellation request, we will endeavour to do our best and consider your returns application.
Digital downloads are given their own unique category under the Consumer Contracts Regulations and are therefore not services or goods.
If you download something within 14 days of buying it, you automatically give your consent to waive the 14-day cooling-off period.
If you don’t give your consent, the 14-day cooling-off period still applies, but you won’t be able to download your digital content until this period has ended, you will need to contact us prior to purchase so the product key isn’t issued until after such period. This is to prevent you from changing your mind after you have downloaded the content.
Most digital software can be downloaded and fully used for a period up to 30 days without the need for any product key. You will find most download links on our direct download pages listed at the bottom of our site, this will help you test the products suitability before purchase.
