Software Terms of Use

All software is sold subject to your agreement with CDE Software’s License Agreement during the installation of the program (or when you break the shrinkwrap from clipart products).

CDE Software accepts no responsibility for pirated software and does not offer technical support to possessors of pirated software.

Users of pirated software should know that generally pirated software contains problems that can cause sever hard drive and system failures and may potentially cause data corruption. Using pirated software is very risky and….. against the law. Just don’t do it.

CDE Software does not offer technical support to possessors of the software that are not shown as licensed for the software in CDE Software’s customer database. If the software was given to you, a transfer of ownership must be signed by the previous owner and must be returned to CDE Software with the appropriate payment.

CDE Software does not offer upgrade pricing to possessors of the software that are not shown as licensed for the software in CDE Software’s customer database. If the software was given to you, a transfer of ownership must be signed by the previous owner and must be returned to CDE Software with the appropriate payment.

Each computer that a product is installed on, must have its own unique serial number to identify that a license has been properly obtained and paid for, for use with that computer.

Because of the nature of the software industry, specifications and features may change without notice. CDE provides this guarantee to provide ample time for you to make a decision if the software meets your needs. CDE provides downloadable demonstrations of most products for you to examine before purchase.

Sales and Use Tax Policy Statement

We have prepared this sales tax policy statement to explain to you when and why we collect sales tax on your purchases.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Even if we do not collect sales tax from you, you may owe sales tax on your purchase. Unless you live in Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, or Oregon, your state most likely requires purchasers to report and pay tax on all purchases that are not taxed at the time of sale. The tax may be reported and paid on your individual income tax return or by filing a consumer use tax return. For more information, please visit your state’s department of revenue website.

CDE SOFTWARE COLLECTS SALES TAX in states where we have physical presence (or nexus), including Washington.

CDE SOFTWARE DOES NOT COLLECT SALES TAX in any state NOT listed above because CDE Software is not required to collect sales or use tax in these states.

FOR OUR TAX-EXEMPT CUSTOMERS:
CDE SOFTWARE DOES NOT COLLECT SALES TAX if we have your exemption certificate on file.

Returned Checks

Payments made by check to CDE Software that are not honored by the bank will incur a returned check fee of $40.00. Licenses for products purchased with the check being returned will be revoked and only reissued payment has been made in full. A 1.5% monthly interest charge shall be applied to the outstanding balance. Additional collection or court fees incurred if balance is not paid within 15 days.

Return check reimbursement payment must be in the form of cash, cashier’s check, certified check or money order. Partial payments are not acceptable.

Failed AVS Funds Hold

If a debit card or check card is used to make a purchase with CDE Software, and the purchase was not accepted for any reason (failed AVS or CCV verification), please be aware that most banks will hold the “authorized” funds (counting against your balance until the authorization clears) even if your order was rejected by the credit card processor’s security measures. The most common reason for the failed transaction is that the billing address entered does not match the billing address for the debit/check/credit card being used for payment. The credit card processor’s Address Verification System (AVS) security measures will reject any transaction for a billing address mismatch.

CDE Software does not have the capability, nor is not obligated, to release the bank’s temporary hold on authorized funds. Since the credit card processors do not have the capability to release the bank’s temporary hold, we can not be responsible for the policies of the customer’s banking institution regarding the holding of authorized funds. Please note that authorization fund holds last for varying periods, depending on the issuing credit card company’s policy. The period may be as little as 24 hours or as long as several months. We suggest contacting the issuing credit card company or bank in order to resolve these types of situations.
