Summary
When you purchase an annual licence, this allows you to set up unlimited companies and employees in one installation of Payback. You may also set up as many users as you like as long as they are all reading from the same database. The licence prohibits the use on multiple machines where each user is reading from a separate database.

The licence is valid for one year. If you purchase a new licence on 20 Aug 2010, it will expire on 20 Aug 2011. If you are renewing a licence, it will be valid for one year from your previous licence expiry. If you renew early, you will still get a full year. When the licence expires, all features of Payback will still be active, but you will not be able to produce reports. This is so that people do not get 'locked' out of Payback if they've forgotten to renew, and need to pay their employees. We give our customers plenty of notice when their licence is due to expire, by post, email and also 6 weeks prior to expiry in the software

Please note that we always offer our customers a full year from the time their licence expires. A licence from one of our competitors will only last until the end of the current year (31 December)

Before you start using Payback, there is an End User Licence Agreement that you have to agree to. Here is the full text:

'Temporary' Licences
Please do not ask us for free, or temporary licences.

Without charging people for licences, we will not be able to stay in business. Our developers and support technicians will not work for free. If you request a free licence from us, it means that you do not believe that our hard work is worth paying for. We really do try our best to keep people happy, and make sure that they can process their payroll. We believe we should be paid for this service.

We have, in the past, offered temporary licences to customers that have gone out of business. We regret that due to the abuse of this, we have stopped this policy. If you want to use Payback, then please buy a licence.

Refunds
We offer people the opportunity to try a full version of Payback before purchasing. This gives the user the chance to make sure that it does everything that is required, and is suited to their needs. Once we issue a licence code, we are unable to give a refund. This is due to the nature of the product.
