Terms of sale
What is sold, at what price, how the key reaches you, and what the licence allows.
Subject and seller
These terms govern the sale of a usage licence for Debug XML Tool, an XSLT debugger for Windows, to anyone ordering on this site. The applicable version is the one online on the day of the order.
Price
The applicable price is the one shown on the Pricing page when the order is placed. It is a one-time purchase, in euros, and there is a single offer.
The VAT treatment is the one stated under the amount; the summary shown before payment states the total due.
Order and payment
An order has two steps: you state the licence holder and the fingerprint of the machine to be licensed, then you are redirected to our provider's payment page. The order becomes firm once the payment is captured.
Payment is handled by that provider. No card details pass through this site, and none are stored here.
The receipt and the invoice are issued by the payment provider and reach you at the address given during payment.
Delivery of the key
Every licence is signed by hand, offline, then sent by email to the address used at payment. There is no account to open and no portal to visit: what you receive is a block of text to paste into the application.
The delivery deadline has not been settled yet
[TO BE COMPLETED: the maximum delivery time for the key, in business hours or days.] This site currently announces "a few business hours" on the Pricing page and on the order confirmation: in a contract, that wording is not a deadline, and the law requires one. The same figure decides the threshold above which the issuing queue must raise an alert - while it is missing, nothing watches the promise.
Usage licence
The licence is perpetual: the version you bought keeps working with no time limit, and with no server that has to be reachable.
It is granted for one workstation, and the key is bound to the fingerprint of the machine given with the order. Replacing that machine leads to a free reissue, and use of the replaced installation must stop.
Versions published during the twelve months following the purchase are included. After that, the software keeps working; only installing a newer version calls for a renewal.
Reselling, renting, lending and redistributing the software or the key are not permitted, nor are attempts to circumvent the licence mechanism.
Right of withdrawal
The sale covers digital content delivered by email after a manual signature. What becomes of the fourteen-day statutory period depends on what the buyer is asked at the time of the order, and that rule must appear here before the first sale.
The withdrawal clause is still to be written
[TO BE COMPLETED: how the right of withdrawal applies to digital content, model form, address and time limit - to be drafted with a lawyer.] No line of code can write it, and no procedure exists on the seller's side yet: a clause copied from elsewhere would commit to handling that has never been done.
Statutory warranty of conformity
The statutory warranty of conformity and the warranty against hidden defects apply by law, whatever this document says. Their exact scope for software sold to a consumer, and how to invoke them, must be written here.
The warranty clauses are still to be written
[TO BE COMPLETED: scope of the statutory warranty of conformity, how long updates are owed under it, and the claim procedure - to be drafted with a lawyer.] One point this site cannot settle: updates owed under the conformity warranty and the twelve months sold with the licence are not the same thing, and treating them as one would be paid for in court.
Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by Belgian law. In case of a dispute, a written claim addressed to the seller comes before any other step; failing an agreement, the Belgian courts have jurisdiction. A consumer resident in another Member State of the European Union keeps the protection of the law of their country of residence.
The French version prevails
The English version of these terms is a courtesy translation. Only the French version has contractual force.
Consumer mediation
A trader selling to consumers must give them access to an out-of-court remedy, and state its contact details. In Belgium, that role belongs to the Consumer Mediation Service.
The mediator is not designated yet
[TO BE COMPLETED: name and address of the out-of-court dispute resolution body, once the membership or registration is done.] In Belgium the Consumer Mediation Service (Boulevard du Roi Albert II 8, 1000 Brussels) is the general entry point; the exact scope of the obligation depends on your status and your customers, to be confirmed with a lawyer and not with this site. And do not add a link to the European online dispute resolution platform - it stopped operating in July 2025, while many legal notices still cite it.
