Terms of sale, written to be read.

AlumDeck is sold by Cerevonix FZ-LLC, a company registered in the United Arab Emirates ("we", "us"), through alumdeck.com. You can reach us through the contact form. "You" means the person or organisation buying the licence.

A licence to install and run AlumDeck on one live site, for one year at a time, with every new version released during that year and email support. What you may and may not do with the software is set out in the licence terms, which form part of these terms. You are buying a licence, not a hosting service: AlumDeck runs on hosting you provide.

The price is $49 a year, in US dollars, for one licence with every feature. There are no tiers, no add-ons and no per-member charges.

If tax applies to your purchase where you are, it is shown on the checkout page before you pay. If your card is in another currency, your bank converts it and may charge a fee.

Payment is taken by Stripe on its own checkout page. We never see your card number.

Once payment goes through, your licence key and your download link are emailed to the address you used at checkout, normally within a few minutes. The link keeps working for every release your licence covers. If the email does not arrive, check your spam folder, then tell us through the contact form and we will resend it.

The licence renews automatically each year, on the date you first paid, at $49, and the same card is charged. If the price ever changes, we email you at least 30 days before a renewal at the new price, and you can cancel before then.

You can cancel at any time through the contact form, or by replying to any email about your licence. We confirm by email. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep everything already paid for until the end of the licence year.

Every payment, the first purchase and each yearly renewal, has a 14-day money-back guarantee. If you ask within 14 days of the charge, you get the full amount back, for any reason, and you do not have to show that anything went wrong.

If a renewal payment is declined, nothing stops working. Stripe tries the card again over the next few days and emails you a link to update it. If the renewal never completes, the licence lapses at the end of the paid year, as described below.

Your public site keeps serving and your data stays in your database. After at least 21 days of grace, signing in to the admin panel and the member area pauses until you renew; signing out always works, and nothing is deleted. New versions and support stop until you renew. The licence terms have the detail.

While your licence is current, support is by email through the contact form, with a reply within one working day, Monday to Friday. It covers installing AlumDeck on hosting that meets the published requirements, faults in AlumDeck, how its features are meant to work, and applying updates. It does not cover custom development, your hosting, or signing in to your server. The support page sets it out in full.

You provide hosting that meets the published requirements, and you keep it patched and secure. You are responsible for the data your members give your site, for your own privacy notice, and for fetching and restoring backups. You keep your licence key to yourself.

AlumDeck is supplied as it is. We do not promise that it is free of faults or that it suits a particular purpose, and it has not had an independent security audit. If it does not install on hosting that meets the published requirements, the money-back guarantee is your remedy within 14 days.

Our total liability to you for anything connected with AlumDeck is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost data, lost income or lost donations. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited, and if you buy as a consumer, nothing here takes away the rights the law of your own country gives you.

We may withdraw a licence that is shared, resold or bought fraudulently, or after a refund or a chargeback. Except in a case of fraud, we tell you first and give you 14 days to put it right. A withdrawn key will not install again, and sign-in on an installed site pauses after 21 days; the public pages are never switched off by us.

These terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates. If something goes wrong, tell us first through the contact form, and we will try to settle it with you within 30 days. If we cannot, the courts of the United Arab Emirates will decide it. If you buy as a consumer, you keep any right the law of your own country gives you to bring a claim there.

A change to these terms applies to purchases and renewals after it is published, never to a year you have already paid for. The date at the top of this page shows when they last changed.
