Frequently asked questions about Online Purchase
I went to the Acronis Web site to order products, but I was directed to a third-party site. What are Digital River and Element5 and are they authorized to process my purchase?Digital River is a company that runs some of the world's largest online stores for top retailers. Element5 is a division of Digital River. Acronis has contracted with Digital River to manage all of our Web-based sales. That's why when you make a purchase from the Acronis Web site, you get a receipt from Digital River. That's also why we recommend that if you experience any problems with the Acronis Web store, you should contact Digital River's customer service department at acronis@digitalriver.com or at www.findmyorder.com. In order to contact Element5 customer service department, please fill in the form and submit it at the following link. Their staff is in the best position to help you if you're having a problem with an Acronis order. Top

I tried to order your product but I keep getting the error that my order cannot be processed at the moment. Is there another way I can order the product?First, please ensure that your credit card is valid and is not over your credit limit. Sometimes a transaction is rejected because of network traffic and has nothing to do with your card or with you. If you try a second time and that doesn't work, please try to purchase with another credit card. If the system still won't accept your order, there is a possibility that the Digital River servers are temporarily down. In this case we suggest that you purchase Acronis Home and Home Office Products from Acronis alternative Online Store. Top
When I try to put my details in the "Returning Customer" part in the element5 online store, I get the message that my data is incorrect.The Acronis store automatically generates an e-mail after a purchase that includes the serial number and registration code. Please re-check the information that was sent to you after the purchase. If you still can't find it, please check the folder where your email sends SPAMs. It is possible that the message, with your registration code and link, was misidentified as SPAM. If the message does not appear within 30 minutes, please contact Acronis Customer Service at http://acronis.co.uk/my/support/. Top
I ordered a wrong product. What should I do?Please contact Acronis Customer Service at http://acronis.co.uk/my/support/ and describe the situation, including the name of the product you wanted to buy.

I cannot download the product using the link given in the invoice.If you are having problems downloading Acronis software, please make sure that you have all download managers and download accelerators turned OFF before downloading. The Acronis server cannot download software if your system has that type of software active. Now, please try to download the software again with the managers turned off. If you still have problems, please contact Acronis Customer Service at http://acronis.co.uk/my/support/. Top
When I try to put my details in the "Returning Customer" part in the Element5 online store, I get the message that my data is incorrect.There are several reasons why Element5 may not recognize a past Acronis customer. For example, your previous purchases might have been processed through Digital River or by Acronis itself. In those cases, you would have no information on the element5 servers. Even though Element5 is a division of Digital River, it keeps its own account data. Data put into the Digital River database might not come up in the element5 database. Also, if you have cookies turned off, it's possible that your system did not record any personal information. If you're still having problems, please skip to the "New Customer" page. It is possible that your private data is no longer on the server — or never was saved in the first place. Top

What currency can I use to pay for the order?We accept payments in almost every currency. You will be able to choose what currency during the purchase process. Top When I proceeded with the purchase the final price is bigger than the price, shown near the "Buy now" button.If you live in Europe, the most likely reason for the discrepancy in prices is due to VAT. Any digital products sold into the European Union include a VAT (Tax) charge of 15%. (NOTE: If your product is being delivered outside of the EU, you will not be charged VAT once you have entered your payment information.) Any physical products sold into the European Union include a VAT charge. However, the VAT rate and hence the total price, may alter once your shipping destination has been selected. For customers from Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and the UK, the national VAT rate will be applied. For all other EU customers, the UK VAT rate of 15% will be applied. A VAT invoice can be viewed and printed at the end of your purchase. If that is not the case, please contact Acronis at http://acronis.co.uk/my/support/ and they will assist you. Top
