Do I have to pay sales tax?
The price indicated includes anticipated VAT that we will collect from you based on information you make available to us. The total price may change during the course of the shopping session depending on a number of factors. However, you will have the opportunity to review the final price we will charge before you submit your order. A national VAT rate will be applied on physical goods for customers based in EU countries. This VAT may not be shown as a separate charge during checkout and may instead be included in the product price (VAT inclusive pricing).
Tax-exempt individuals and entities can request a refund of the tax paid on an order. We will need a copy of your tax-exempt certificate, and the billing or shipping address on the order must match the address on the certificate. Please include your order number or a copy of your receipt or invoice. You can fax a copy of your certificate, with order number or invoice to 952-253-8760.

Subscription information
What is Auto-Renewal?
With Auto-Renewal, the license for your Kaspersky product will be extended automatically before it expires, providing you with seamless protection. You will not have to monitor the license term, place an order and manually activate an application with a new activation code.
How will my subscription be automatically renewed?
Please be aware that you do not need to do anything to renew your subscription. Prior to its expiry, you will receive an email stating the amount and on which date you will be charged. You can cancel the Auto-Renewal Plan or do nothing. You can easily cancel the Auto-Renewal Plan by following the links in the email. The charge will be made on the same credit card that you used for your original purchase. You will then receive a confirmation email upon successful renewal. Your Kaspersky software will be renewed automatically.
How do I cancel an Auto-Renewal Plan?
Fill out
the form on the Digital River website to find your order status. Then you will see a Cancel and a Renewal button on the Order Details page. Pressing Cancel will stop the Auto-Renewal plan. Your product will still be active until the subscription expiry date. If you experience any problems, please contact
Kaspersky Technical Support.
What is your policy on cancelled subscriptions?
Shoppers (subscribers) will receive the subscription service for the full time period for which they have paid, even if the auto-renewal option is cancelled. Cancelling the auto-renewal on a monthly subscription means that the subscription will not be renewed in the following month, but the subscriber will continue to receive the subscription until that time. Similarly, cancelling an annual auto-renew subscription means that the subscription will not be renewed in the following year, but a subscriber will continue to receive the subscription for the remainder of the year.

Privacy and security

What is the Digital River Secure and Virus Free Protection?
We take your shopping safety very seriously. You can shop with confidence knowing that we have taken steps to ensure you are protected when you order through any Digital River network member. So, you can rest assured when shopping with us because the Digital River Secure & Virus Free Protection provides you with shopping protection and peace of mind!
You pay nothing if any unauthorised charges are made to your card as a result of shopping with us.
Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank can not hold you liable for more than $50.00 of fraudulent charges. If your bank holds you liable for any of this $50.00, Digital River will cover your entire liability, up to the full $50.00. Digital River will cover this liability only if the unauthorized use of your credit card resulted through no fault of your own from purchases made through a Digital River network member while using the Digital River secure server. In the event of unauthorized use of your credit card, you must notify your credit card provider in accordance with their reporting rules and procedures and provide Digital River with reasonable requested supporting documentation.
100% of software downloads available through Kaspersky have been scanned for viruses.
In the unlikely event, your software downloaded from a Digital River network member contains a virus, Digital River agrees to either replace the affected software or refund the purchase price plus any shipping costs associated with the affected software. Digital River's liability is limited to the replacement or refund of only the virus-infected software downloaded from a Digital River network member. Digital River will cover this liability only if the virus resulted through no fault of your own from purchases made through a Digital River network member while using the Digital River secure server. Digital River does not assume liability for any costs associated with repairing or replacing any computer components, hardware, additional software, computer files, or any other costs associated with repairing, replacing, or removing virus-infected files from your computer.
All information that you provide while shopping is encrypted.
Because we accept sensitive information from shoppers (name, mailing address, credit card number and so on) Digital River uses VeriSign® Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to protect personal shopper information. This logic encrypts data being sent and received using high-level encryption technology. This technology assigns undetectable codes to data transmissions that only our server and shoppers can validate. This ensures that no external party can view the data.
