Questions
How do I get the plugin after paying?
Straight away: there's a download button on the thank-you page, and you'll get an email with your personal download link and licence key.
How do updates work?
Your download link always gives you the latest release of version 1: fixes, security updates and small improvements are included. A future version 2 would be a separate purchase, and you never have to upgrade.
Can I use it on more than one site?
Yes. One price, and you can use it on as many sites as you like.
Is support included?
No. Help, set-up and customisation aren't included in the price. If something doesn't work as described, report it through the support page and I'll put it right. Your legal rights are not affected.
Can I get a refund?
Your legal rights apply if the product is faulty or not as described, and if it doesn't work as described and I can't fix it, I'll refund you. Because it's a download, the usual 14-day change-of-mind right ends once you start the download. Full details are in the Digital Products Terms.
