My experience with "no refund" policy. Sabine Consulting FTP program, works nicely, but I goofed and purchased after the limit of 3 image activations. Asked for refund, met with stone wall. Worked thru my credit union, the recovered money, then I got a letter from them threatening to file federal charges against me for interstate commerce fraud. Had a phone conversation with my CU representative in the room. Sabine's husband is, IMHO, arrogant, beligerant, and in no way was he willing to listen to me. At one point, he said, "We've got your money and you're not getting it back --- don't you see that?" BTW, I needed it to support a school project for about a few weeks. Now I use a freeware version, it's very nice. I wish there had been a bit more customer consideration. I guess what I'm getting at is not which is better, but whether there is any room for exceptions and any consideration of your customers. I have done business with quite a few on-line retailsers, SW and HW, and been VERY happy with all except for this one. Customer service is what counts.
