Software Terms of Use

All software is sold subject to your agreement with the Zaxwerks Software License Agreement.

Zaxwerks Inc. accepts no responsibility for pirated software, and does not give technical support to owners of pirated software.

Users of pirated software should know that often times pirated software contains problems that can cause severe hard drive and system failure.  Using pirated software is very risky and against the law.  Don't do it.

Authorization Codes

All Zaxwerks software requires an Authorization Code to work.  Without an Authorization Code the software runs in Demo Mode and puts a watermark on the final rendered image.  Even if you purchased the software and downloaded it, it will only run in Demo Mode until you enter an Authorization Code. 

There are two types of Authorization Codes: Temporary and Permanent.

Temporary Authorization Codes are included in the order confirmation e-mail received at the time of purchase.  They work for 30 days. You can only enter a Temporary Code once, and you MUST register this code at zaxwerks.com/register to receive a permanent code.

Permanent Authorization Codes are provided by e-mail when you register your temporary code at zaxwerks.com/register.  If you are testing out the product or experiencing any trouble with system compatibility, please contact us at support@zaxwerks.com instead of registered the temporary code to report the issues you are experiencing. Once a permanent code is provided the software can still be returned, but there is a 20% return fee, so it is best to not register until you are certain it works with your system and fulfills your needs.

Return & Refund Policy

What can be returned?

You may only return products purchased directly from Zaxwerks Inc., or the Zaxwerks Online Store.  Returns will be accepted only when the following conditions have been met:

- The return is requested within 15 days of receiving the product.
