Sales Information

Welcome! Here at CrystalMaker Software we develop, sell, and support software designed to excite and empower our users.

  • Direct Sales & Support: Worldwide!

    Our policy is to sell direct to customers worldwide, cutting out the middleman - and passing the savings on to you!

    We do not maintain a multinational network of offices or pay resellers to push our products; instead, we run a lean, customer-focused company, with a worldwide perspective. We think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the difference this makes!

    Our sales office is:

    CrystalMaker Software Limited
    Centre for Innovation & Enterprise
    Begbroke Science Park
    Sandy Lane
    Yarnton, Oxfordshire, OX5 1PF, UK

    Telephone: +44 1865-854804

    E-mail:sales@crystalmaker.com

  • Easy Ordering

    You can order online, using our award-winning secure eCommerce system: just choose the relevant product link from the Sales Overview. We can also accept purchase orders, credit card orders by fax or telephone, or pre-paid orders by cheque. (Please see the sidebar on the right for more details.)

  • Free Shipping

    Orders are despatched via airmail (First Class post in the UK), at no additional cost. Shipping typically takes a few days (continental Europe) to a week (USA or Japan).

    To prevent unnecessary delays, when ordering please double-check that your shipping address is acceptable to your local postal delivery service. (U.S. customers please note: some internal corporate addresses are not recognized by the U.S. Postal Service.)

  • Education Discounts

    We are passionate about education and provide special discounts to education users. In order to maximise the value of these discounts, we do have to restrict them to bona fide educational institutions; so, for example, government laboratories do not usually qualify. Our formal policy on education pricing is as follows:

    CrystalMaker Software Ltd extends education pricing to students and faculty in degree-granting university programmes and to academic institutions purchasing software for end-users in those positions.

    If in any doubt as to your status, please contact us before placing your order.

Privacy Policy. When you order from us, your details remain fully confidential. We do not sell or share personal information about you with other people or companies, except to provide products or services that you have specifically requested.

When ordering online with a credit card, your card and other details are protected by secure encryption techniques, and are processed on a dedicated, secure server. The card details are verified by our online banking service (Netbanx) but are not disclosed to ourselves or to other agencies.


Returns Policy. All returns must be pre-authorized by us. Goods returned to us must be unopened, and in pristine condition. A charge of GBP 20 / EUR 30 / USD 40 will be made for any returned items, to cover our original shipping, administration, and banking charges. Please note that you may not return a product to us and claim a refund for software which we supplied to you sealed and unused, if you have broken the seal.

Winner of the eTrading category, CrystalMaker Software Ltd., South East region.

Online Ordering
You can use your credit card to order online, via our secure internet server.

A payment gateway, via NetBanx, performs authorization and settlement with the banks. NetBanx clears card transactions in seconds and sends your order details to us (but not your credit card number, which remains confidential) using secure encryption techniques. We are then able to process and despatch your order immediately.

Our sales pages operate like a virtual Supermarket. You can order a product by clicking on its "Order" link; this adds the product to your electronic "shopping basket". When you've finished, click one of the "Checkout" links to proceed to the payment section.

Payment by cheque
We accept payment in U.S. dollars, Euros or British Pounds Sterling (GBP). You can send purchase orders, international money orders or personal cheques in dollars, euros or sterling. Please note that we require advance payment for personal orders.

Payment by credit card
We can accept payment by Visa, MasterCard or JCB cards. To order by credit card (personal or corporate) please fax (+44 1865-854805) or mail us your order, remembering to include the following information:
  1. name on the card
  2. card billing address
  3. shipping address
  4. card number
  5. expiry date
  6. 3-digit security code
  7. your signature.
Please note that the order total must be in British Pounds Sterling (GBP). Your credit card provider will convert this to your local currency.

VAT in the European Union
European Union customers are gently reminded that they must include their VAT numbers (Value Added Tax = TVA = Umsatzsteuernummer) on their purchase orders, otherwise we are obliged to add VAT at the U.K. rate of 17.5%.
