SimStop is a trading name of Flight One Software, Inc.
By using this site or shopping cart and e-commerce system, you agree to the
following terms of service:
Liability and Usage
Simstop nor its owners or affiliates are responsible for any failure to provide
this service nor can we guarantee the accuracy or timeliness of all the data
on the site.
By using the Simstop.com web site, you agree to not use the services or site
in ways it was not intended.
Regarding the Purchasing of Products and use of the Shopping Cart
Accuracy
Although we strive hard for accuracy, Simstop can't guarantee the site to be
error free. If there is an error or other event that causes a transaction to
be inaccurate, Simstop at its option will either
a) Refund the entire amount of the purchase or
b) Contact you regarding the transaction, with a remedy to the problem.
In either case a full refund may be given if no remedy can be found.
Fraud Protection
Simstop being a site open to the Internet public for e-commerce may require
certain accurate data before being able to ship or complete an order. This may
include the need for accurate information that matches the owner of the credit
card or actual customer making the transaction, as well as accurate data submitted.
Providing inaccurate information could prevent you from completing your order
or placing future orders through Simstop.com. The requirements for accurate
information may be, but not limited to, the following:
1. Name
2. Address
3. Telephone Number
4. E-mail Address
Also note that some anonymous or free email services may not be allowed for
email addresses. Make sure if you are using a non-ISP email account that it
is through one of the major known free-email services.
In cases where Simstop sees it necessary to validate certain information from
the purchaser, an order may be withheld. In this case, we will contact the purchaser
to get corrected or validated information. In cases where we do not receive
a timely response from the customer, we will refund the transaction.
Also, please be aware that IP Addresses are captured when orders are placed
through the shopping cart or through the E-commerce system, and may be used
or turned over to authorities in establishing or investigating fraud on particular
orders. Internet fraud costs us all, and Simstop will do its part to help slow
down fraud on the Internet.
Purchasing Download Products
Simstop does not charge any re-download fees should you need to re-download
the product, but we do recommend making a backup of your download to make reinstallation
faster.
If one of the listed products has been discontinued and you do need to re-download
the product, please contact us and we will do our best to help but we cannot
guarantee this, so please do make a back-up for your own peace of mind.
Product Support
Please note that Simstop acts an online store, selling 3rd-party products developed
and published by other companies.
Although we endeavor to assure you of quality and value for money for products
you buy through Simstop (and back this up with our Refund Policy – see
below) we are not able to offer technical support, beyond any issues you may
have with using the site and or purchasing items via the download or other systems
we may offer.
You should always contact the developer/directly in the first instance as they
will be best placed to help in any case.
If you experience ongoing problems obtaining support from a developer/publisher
then please contact us and we will do our best to resolve the situation for
you.
Refunds and Returns
Subject to the refund policies listed below, Simstop generally allows most
products to be returned or refunded within 30 days unless it is noted on the
product page for the title that the sale is final. In some cases a refund may
not be able to be processed. Please read the information below for more information
on our refund policies.
Refund Policies:
On boxed or CD/DVD ROM titles, only the product price is refunded, not the shipping.
All products must also be returned in pristine condition, with no items or inserted
material missing.
If your order was purchased using the Simstop download system, we will require
you to fill out a simple online affidavit stating proper removal of the title.
Please contact us if you want further information on this.
Please note that in some instances your ability to purchase new products or
receive refunds may be limited if it turns out there is a considerably high
rate of refunds associated with a credit card number, person, or email address.
This is to protect Simstop against potential fraud (see the notes in the fraud
section below), or bank expenses. We want to be as fair as possible, and it
is common for there to be an occasional refund. If your accounts are flagged
in our system, and you want to discuss this with Simstop staff, please contact
us.
Protection Against Fraud
Simstop may suspend the ability to purchase if your account or information
is associated with potential fraudulent activity, such as if multiple purchases
are associated with a high percentage of refund requests, if there are multiple
refund requests in a row, if purchases or purchase attempts contain potentially
invalid information, if excessive purchase attempts have been made which the
bank declined, if Simstop receives evidence that you have shared your product
illegally, or for any other reason that Simstop sees as necessary in order to
prevent Internet-based fraud.
If you think our system has prevented you from purchasing due to any reason,
please contact us as we may be able to find the cause and help clear the situation.
Privacy
Simstop respects your privacy, and will keep any and all information you provide
to us private, except what could occur under the following:
1. If your information is requested as part of a valid law enforcement agency
request.
2. If your information has been associated with fraudulent activity, and releasing
your information to third parties is required as part of legal proceedings or
investigations.
3. If you specifically opt-in to events where it is noted in advance that certain
information may be made public, such as contests where we list the winners.
Asides from any of the exceptions above, Simstop will never sell nor give your
private information to parties outside the direct Simstop/Flight1 group of companies.
Private information includes physical and e-mail addresses, phone numbers,
or other personal information. Also, your full credit card data is not stored
on our servers for both your and our protection.

Simstop provides shared space for users to enjoy. Any information that you
make publicly available via any one of these shared spaces (forums, reviews,
comments, etc) is beyond our control and cannot be considered private.
Disclaimer
Simstop reserves the right to edit or remove content as it deems necessary.
We may change terms of this agreement without prior notice. If you find errors
