FAQ · Buying and running a licence

Can I get a refund?

Refunds are handled by Paddle, the merchant of record that sells every Reamer Labs licence, under Paddle's refund policy. A request goes to Paddle within 14 days of purchase, and Paddle decides it case by case. There is no partial refund or cancellation partway through a term. The paid trial is where you decide whether the product fits, and much of it can be checked for free before that.

How a refund request works

  • Who decides. Paddle sells the licence, so Paddle decides. Its refund policy treats purchases as non-refundable by default and reviews requests made within 14 days of the transaction, looking at the product, the reason and how much it has been used.
  • Where to ask. Through paddle.net, Paddle's order-help site.
  • Consumer withdrawal rights. Where the law of your country gives a right to withdraw from a digital purchase, Paddle's policy and that law decide when it applies. In the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland it ends once you start downloading or using the software after agreeing to immediate delivery.
  • Faults. If something does not work as described, write to support@reamerlabs.com first so it can be fixed.

What is not refunded outside Paddle's policy

  • The unused part of a term. You can stop using the software at any time, but there is no pro-rated credit for the time left.
  • Expiry. A term ending does not entitle you to a refund or to renewal at the same price.
  • Revocation for breach. A key revoked for breaking the terms, such as sharing it or running more machines than you hold seats for, is not refunded.

The software is sold for use in a trade or profession, by firms and by individual researchers and traders, not to consumers for personal use. The terms set this out in full.

Checking fit before you pay

  • For free: the Spec Notes, which publish how execution is modelled, this FAQ, the benchmark method and raw data, and the uncut integration recordings.
  • For the price of a trial: the full product for 30 days on your own data, hardware and strategy code. See Is there a free trial?

Next questions

Is there a free trial?No. There is no free trial or free evaluation licence. There is a paid 30-day trial, USD 225 for Reamer Research and USD 900 for Reamer Server, which gives you the full product on the same terms as an annual licence. The 30 days start when you first activate, not when you buy.How much do Reamer Research and Reamer Server cost?Reamer Research is USD 1,800 per seat per year, and Reamer Server is USD 7,200 per seat per year. Each is paid once for the year and nothing renews automatically. A 30-day trial costs USD 225 for Reamer Research and USD 900 for Reamer Server. A seat is one product on one machine.What exactly do I receive after buying?An email with your licence key and a link to download the kit. The kit is the product itself, compiled libraries and command-line tools with the full documentation and reference code, and it holds no key. You activate the key once per machine with the reamer-license tool, and the term starts then. Nothing is shipped physically and nothing is hosted for you.What support is included?Email support from the person who builds the product, included with every active licence and not sold separately. Hours are 09:00 to 18:00 India time on weekdays, and requests are triaged into three severity tiers with best-effort acknowledgment targets of one, two and five business days. There is no 24/7 desk, no phone line and no contractual SLA unless a signed order form commits one.What happens when my licence expires?Anything already running keeps running. Expiry never stops a live process, including a Reamer Server instance that is trading. What it stops is starting a new process, so after expiry a restart will fail until you renew. Nothing renews or charges automatically; renewing is a new purchase.

Every answer here restates the documents that ship in the kit, which are authoritative. All questions.
