General Ordering Information

On-line Ordering and Payment

Orders can be placed on-line, via our order form. Within about one working day of order submission, you will normally receive an email containing an on-line payment link. Sometimes, we may need to contact you before this payment link is sent, if we have any queries regarding your order.

Our order form only requires details of your billing address, email address and the Winteracter licences to be supplied. Optionally, you can also specify an alternative delivery address. Customers in European Union states other than the United Kingdom are advised to provide their VAT registration number, where available (see below).

Payment method

We use PayPal to process on-line payments. You can pay by card or PayPal account. When paying by credit/debit card, a PayPal account is not required. We do not receive or store any credit/debit card details, other than your billing address. All card payment information is handled securely by PayPal. This is our preferred payment method.

When we receive your order, you will be sent an "invoice" email containing an on-line payment link. (Note: While the email's "from" address will show as "sales@winteracter.com", the email actually originates from PayPal). Follow the payment link in this email, to view an invoice summarising your order and showing the amount to be paid. This will include a payment button, leading to a PayPal page where you can make payment by card or PayPal account. The payment page will allow non-PayPal users to pay via most credit or debit cards, including Visa, MasterCard and American Express.

Currency

All orders for which payment is made via PayPal (either by card or from a PayPal account) are billed in sterling, based on our currently published price list, which is always available on this site. We do not set the currency conversion rate and are unable to confirm the exact local currency value of the transaction. In particular, the US$ prices quoted on our price list apply to 30-day account orders only (see below).

Invoice

The invoice which is displayed when making payment, is provided to facilitate payment, but it is not a tax invoice. When payment has been received and your order has been processed, we will send a separate sales invoice. This acts as a tax invoice, where applicable. This will be sent on the day of shipment and will show the sterling value of your order. Note: We are unable to issue non-sterling invoices for orders where payment is made on-line.

Account Orders

Account Approval

Purchase orders can be accepted subject to prior account approval by ISS. Contact , before ordering, if you require 30-day account facilities.

How to Place Your Order

Purchase orders can be placed on-line, via our order form. Select "30-day account" on the initial screen when prompted for a payment method. An order number/reference, to be quoted on our invoice, must also be specified.

Alternatively, purchase orders can also be submitted via email or post. In this case, your order must specify the following:

• Purchase order number or other order reference to be quoted on our invoice
• Billing address
• Delivery address
• email address, in case of queries
• If you are ordering from a European Union country, outside the UK, we will normally require the VAT (Value Added Tax) registration number of your company or institution. Without this, we will be required to charge VAT at the current UK rate on the whole of your order cost, including shipping.
• Winteracter licences to be supplied, exactly as listed in the table on our Price List page.

Currency and Payment

Payment terms for account customers are 30 days from date of invoice (date of shipment). Payment methods depend on location:

• United Kingdom : UK orders are billed in sterling. Our preferred method of payment is via electronic transfer (e.g. BACS). Bank details are provided on our invoice to enable electronic payment. Alternatively, we can also accept cheques, drawn on a UK bank.
• USA : US orders are billed in US$. Payment should be made by US$ cheque drawn on a US bank or by wire transfer to our UK bank account. Bank details are provided on our invoice.
• Rest of the World : All other orders are billed in sterling. Payment should be made by wire transfer to our UK bank account (bank details are provided on our invoice) or by sterling cheque or bank draft, drawn on a UK bank.

General Ordering Information

• Product name (i.e. Winteracter)
• Target Fortran compiler and platform
• New licence or upgrade
• Serial number(s), if ordering upgrades

Value Added Tax

Value Added Tax (VAT) is chargeable on the total order value at the current UK rate (20%) on all UK orders.

Non-UK European Union customers should specify their local VAT Registration Number when ordering, otherwise VAT is applicable at the current UK rate.

VAT is not applicable to orders from outside of the European Union. However, local duties or taxes may apply. These are payable by you, the receiver of the goods, if applicable. ISS cannot be held responsible for payment of local duties or taxes in non-EU destinations.

Despatch Notification

We normally send an email confirming that goods have been sent, on the date of despatch. Where available, this email will also provide web-tracking information. Note: Tracking information is available when shipping to the UK, USA, Canada, New Zealand and most European countries. Tracking information may also be available to other destinations, depending on their participation in the Airsure® service.
