What are you clapping at ?
Sales are final, in legal terms, at least in many EU countryes AFAICT, unless you self agree to step back, and that wold be stupid IMHO
Besides, anything else would be bad style
Manipulating customers, with threats, as they did, should not be tollerated at all
Both shameless and unproffesional they behave
ADSR need to take responsibility for their own doings ,.. learn to be pro ,.. or close down
My license is mine, registered, on the iLok ,.. well working ,.. and I guess it will remain that way

Pricing mistakes are generally an exception. A company could have a rogue employee put all cars at $1 in an online sale and bankrupt it if there weren't exception for such things. It's easy to accidentally print a flyer with the decimal in the wrong spot, and it makes sense that the law wouldn't force the company to destroy itself over the mistake.HM wrote: Thu Jan 05, 2023 10:58 pmSales are final, in legal terms, at least in many EU countryes AFAICT, unless you self agree to step back, and that wold be stupid IMHO
I couldn't find the relevant EU regulations, but in the US that is definitely the case.
While I agree that their offer to make things right was weak, I get the feeling that they were potentially out a large amount of money (or losing the ability to sell Izotope products) if they let those go through.
I wish I could've gotten the license for that price (I did make the $12.50 purchase), but I don't feel any vitriol to ADSR about it.

Picked up the Knock Clipper (dev = plugins that knock) a freebie on a $5 order at plugin boutique
as their January gift. It's a nice little clipper, definitely worth $5 although it sells for $29 apparently.
Anyway, I like it

It's a good thing people don't get their legal advice from Internet forums:WasteLand wrote: Thu Jan 05, 2023 8:02 pmindeed it is strange, still on my Izotope account, on ADSR account; it says at orders 'refunded', under software; there is still the key.... so not deleted even in the ADSR account....
didn't receive the refund by the way, yet; which i refused, with an emal to ADSR, and also send an email to Izotope.
i am not a legal expert, but i think you can't void a legal transaction, it was and is a legal transaction.

Because that EU website is legal info for the EU only. And it speaks of an order before it is filled. It's saying if you see a price error on a website and order this product, that the retailer has the right to refuse or refund your money and not send you the license key.
But the orders have been filled in this situation -- the licenses have been delivered, those licenses have been registered on the manufacturer's website, and that software has been installed and licensed.

Several years back a gaming sales store was put out of business this way (can't remember name). It was a pricing error that gamers flooded to take advantage of. The parent company that generated and sold the keys to the store wouldn't invalidate the keys and the store went out of business as a result. I think some gamers reflected that they destroyed a store in the process, knew it was a mistake, but most probably didn't care.

Sales being final is just normal fair game and decent customer protectionBigSneezy wrote: Fri Jan 06, 2023 7:02 amSeveral years back a gaming sales store was put out of business this way (can't remember name).

In case the excuse "I made a mistake", on the contrary was valid, it would be a blanco-check for the seller to get away with anything IRL ,. being unprofessional, bad behaving, or just careless with their work and proccedures/security
All seems to be the case here
They could just double check, or tripe-check, all orders, be more carefully, make some insurance, limit max automatic sales, or whatever, if they feel they can't controll thier own shop properly
Turning their own problems into customers problems is a no-go

I paid ADSR 137,06 SEK. Just looked and my because of a difference in exchange rates from when I made my purchase my refund is 130,96 SEK. Not a lot of a difference but still not a full refund. I'll be keeping my license right?

In general, in Europe, due to customer-protection, all sales are final when delivery IS done like here, unless you personal agree to step back
So the faulty refund can not even be considered a refund
Can't believe that Izotope will cancel the licenses, support ADSRs behaviour, and thereby miscredit themself loosing customers either
(or even risc legal steps to be taken)
Actually the opposite should be the case
We have to trust Izotope acts fair and legal
Lets see ,..
If not, I get on without Izotope also from here

A collective action, or a principal case for EU law-violation is not impossible though, not at all
But like said, lets hope for the best from both Izotope, and iLok, both are involved I guess
Would they likely harm their own interest and reputation ?
Everything OK on my accounts still, both Izotope, and iLok,..

Of course, legal action just to save some money on a plugin license is not going to happen. As I said earlier however, it's got nothing to do with the license or the money. It's the attitude which is bugging me.HM wrote: Fri Jan 06, 2023 11:20 amMaybe, it would be up the hill in case Izotope decided to paticipate in this dirty trick, sureFigg23 wrote: Fri Jan 06, 2023 10:42 amUnfortunately I don't think I can influence any action by iZotope to remove the license from my account.HM wrote: Fri Jan 06, 2023 8:45 amObviously keep the licens,.. its yoursFigg23 wrote: Fri Jan 06, 2023 8:15 am I paid ADSR 137,06 SEK.
