9.1. Payment Methods. Currently we accept two payment methods - a) Wire Transfer (payment in our bank account); and b) Credit/Debit Card payment. All payment methods are available only for our Registered Customers.
9.1.1. Wire Transfer. This payment method is applicable to any purchase done in the Store. It's the only payment method applicable to purchases that exceed $250 (it may be a single Product with price more than $250 or few Products with total price more than $250).
For purchases below $250 you may select Wire Transfer as a payment method during the checkout process. For purchases over $250 the Store will show Wire Transfer as a single available payment method.
At the end of the checkout process with Wire Transfer as payment method a Customer receives a screen copy of invoice, that contain Company’s bank account information and payment instructions. Customer may print an invoice or to contact Company for an invoice signed copy (in such case we send a scanned signed copy of invoice with e-mail). By Customer's request we may post the hard copy of an invoice; in such a case Customer has to pay postal/courier delivery fee.
Company’s bank account information may be easily found in "Who We Are" page of the website.
Customer has to pay the total purchase fee indicated in an invoice to the Company’s bank account in 5 (Five) business days of the invoicing date. Note that Company has two different accounts for US dollars and Euro funds transfer. Choose the proper account according to the currency you will pay in. If you want to pay in the currency other than US Dollars or Euros - contact us for details. If you have not paid an invoice in 5 business days of the invoicing date you have to re-order the required Product. All purchases that have not been paid in 5 business days will be cancelled.
An invoice doesn't contain any bank charges that must be paid to your bank and intermediating bank(s) for Wire Transfer transaction. It's necessary that we receive the exact total sum indicated in an invoice. If your bank and/or intermediating bank(s) withdraw any commission and we receive the less sum than indicated in an invoice, the Company may refund you money back (withdrawing commission to be paid to our bank and intermediating bank(s) on refund transaction); in such case Company doesn't provide any Product to a Customer.

Company doesn't directly processes Credit/Debit Cards - all transactions are done via Moneybookers online payment system authorized under UK and EU law and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in the UK. Visit www.moneybookers.com to read more about Moneybookers and how they process your online payments. The main thing you have to know is that your Credit/Debit Card is processed in Moneybookers server not in our website; you enter your Credit/Debit Card information only in Moneybookers account - so we do not have any access to this kind of data. After the payment is complete, the customer is returned to Company’s website and we receive a confirmation with Moneybookers about the payment.
If you have an account with Moneybookers you may easily proceed with online checkout - just entering your e-mail associated with Moneybookers account; you will be redirected to Moneybookers website where you may enter your account and make a transaction.
If you have no an account with Moneybookers - you will be redirected to Moneybookers registration form where you may instantly register your details.
However if you do not want to set up an account with Moneybookers - you may use Moneybookers' Quick Checkout feature. Quick Checkout allows customers who are making their first transaction via Moneybookers to complete the process without having to register a traditional account and provide a password. If you do Quick Checkout you will be redirected to Moneybookers' website where you complete the transaction by entering Credit/Debit Card information; and again - at Quick Checkout we do not see your Credit/Debit Card data.
Any time before the final "confirm" button is pressed in Moneybookers' website, the customer may cancel the payment process and return to Company’s website.
At payment with Credit/Debit Card additional commission in 1.82% is taken to cover online processing fee.
9.1.3. Recurring Payments. You may use recurring payment for any of our Subscription Products. If you select "Recurring Payment" option at checkout process your Credit/Debit Card will be automatically charged a subscription fee prior to expiration of the current subscription period.
