No demo, refund and even NFR of some orchestral libraries - is that legal?

Same thing happened to me with Heavyocity. They wouldn't even let me EXCHANGE it for another one of their products.

You guys should stop buying expensive stuff (Hello GAS) which is definitively to challenging for you..

..and btw. stop blaming those great devs for your own inability: They deserve better customers than you.

Not as pointless as your comments.

Yes I paid by paypal but I can not continue with such process. I accept the situation but have an experience for the future

Good to hear. It wouldn't be fair toward the developer if people like you could claim their money back because they are simply unwilling to inform themselves prior buying.

:D

I guess you could sue them for a compensation though, in case it damages your vehicle. I think in general though, that some customers should question their own customer, or even human ethics, instead of again and again pointing at companies which did nothing wrong. If you're unsure about the quality of a library, don't throw your money away. They're not shady, they want you no harm, they just want to sell you something, and, if you're unsure whether you like it or not, or you don't like it at all, don't buy. Big deal.
We are talking about sample libraries. You can here many demos and read manual, see tutorials but it is still the same as with dress. You can see it, get all details about it but without trial you have no idea how good it really is for you.
Fair enough, and i agree with that. I don't know what to say really, let's just say i can understand both sides.

You didn't have those libraries as you only bought the right (license) to download and to use them. Now, how you as customer could resell a library you never owned?

Keep that in mind when GAS strikes you the next time. :hihi:

The issue is not related to Spitfire only. All major orchestral libraries developers use the same methods. I started the thread to discuss the problem not the quality of the product. Plugin developer who does not provide demo together with no refund policy is non-sense for us. However library type software developers use this policy as a standard and all of us think that is OK.
