Selling can be done through your web site or through our Marketplace Service. Delivery of your digital content is accomplished through our download service. Receiving Digital Content is accomplished through our upload service.

Fees, Payments & Refunds

The type of account you subscribe to determines fees.

Monthly Plans - Services are pre-paid and recur each month with the credit card provided until service is cancelled. If your credit card cannot be charged for the monthly recurring service your account will become suspended until updated credit card information is supplied. Suspension of an account for non-payment will stop all activity including but not limited to the delivery of digital content that has been purchased. On the 30th day of account suspension our system will attempt to charge the credit card on file. If payment is not received the account status will be automatically changed to not active status and any data including but not limited to digital content, reports or pending orders will be purged. Upgrades and downgrades for monthly plans can be done within the Client Administration Control Panel. System billing procedures do not allow refunds or prorated amounts to be carried to the new package. Monthly service will start when the service is upgraded/downgraded.

Yearly Plans - Services are pre-paid for a one year time period and renewals are not recurring. A 10% discount is provided for yearly orders. Automated Email Reminder Notifications for yearly plan renewals are sent at 90 days, 60 days, 30 days, 24 hours prior to expiration and at expiration. At expiration, an account will become suspended and all activity including but not limited to the delivery of digital content that has been purchased. If 30 days pass without renewal, account status will be automatically changed to not active status and any data including but not limited to digital content, reports or pending orders will be purged. Upgrades and downgrades for yearly plans are permitted but have to be done manually through customer support. A service fee of $5.00 will be charged.

Moving from a yearly plan to a monthly plan or visa versa also requires manual account changes from customer support and a small service fee will be charged.

REFUNDS - PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY - There are no refunds for unused months of service. This means that if you cancel your plan, monthly or yearly, prior to renewal we will not refund any monies you have paid. Cancellations must be submitting via the support ticket from within the Client Management Control Panel. Cancellation will take effect once we confirm cancellation via a reply email to your cancellation support request. NO EXCEPTIONS! ALSO, NO REFUNDS ARE GIVEN FOR ACCOUNTS THAT ARE CANCELLED THE DAY OF RENEWAL.

Miscellaneous - DCC reserves the right to modify the fees charged for our services from time to time, provided that such new fees shall not take effect earlier than seven (7) days after DCC notifies you via email or otherwise of such modified fees. DCC uses Industry Standard Secure Socket Layers to transmit sensitive information from your computer to our servers and through to our payment processor.
