Quote from Andrew Kirillov:
TS Support Open Letter
The post below is an official open letter from TS Support addressed to the gentleman contributing to this forum under the nick of Sogodo as well as to those who have expressed a number of dishonest and unscrupulous ideas in this forum topic. We are not disclosing the name of this gentleman respecting his privacy. Nor are we publicizing the unacceptable threats our support representatives received from this person on LiveChat. The response below will be the only response for we do not wish to get involved into a futile debate. We want to provide the users with the unbiased and objective information that would allow them to make well-informed decisions. All further disputes with the aforementioned gentleman will continue in court.
1. As you can see, the availability of a considerable discount impaired Sogodoâs judgement and made him purchase a product that he did not need. We explained to Sogodo that we do not make refunds â which is clearly, explicitly and conspicuously stated on the companyâs website. One reason for such a policy is that we lose money on each transaction (the costs incurred in the payment system). The other reason is that we provide the customers with a registration key as soon as the transaction has been confirmed. This key cannot be taken away. Our website is regulated by NFA and meets the American information integrity and openness standards. We also provide a fully-functional free 30-day trial â to allow the potential customers make an informed decision as to whether to purchase the program.
It is commonly known that programs distributed on-line are not subject to refunds because a refund would allow a customer to receive the money back and keep using the product for free. We have thousands of customers and have not encountered any such precedents over the 8 years of the companyâs existence. We always pay a refund if there is a solid ground for such a course of action. Moreover, MCFX, another product developed by our company, allows refunds because the transaction costs are relatively low. Apart from that, MCFX can be blocked after a refund has been effected.
2. Yesterday, the aforementioned person called our customer support service and for an hour kept making attempts to exert pressure on the customer support representatives threatening to resort to the charge-back procedure. When these threats failed to have the desired effect he said that the conversation would be recorded and published in open sources â which is illegal.
3. The aforementioned person has falsely claimed that the program cannot be used without the Internet. The product version 3.0 that he purchased allows working offline for 30 days.
4. The aforementioned person is lying stating that our company consists of 3-4 people and is located in Moscow. The development department of the company is located in Rostov-on-Don and the support team alone consists of 4 people to ensure a high-quality customer support in 4 languages.
5. Other companies in the software industry follow the same refund policies. Thus the claims by the customer that it is the first time that he has ever come across such a practice are false.
Everything said by the customer looks like undisguised pressure and slander.
P.S. We are sorry that there are still people like zgtrader who has suggested using cracks or people like jficquette who believes that Russians are not to be trusted a priori â even if they have been serving their customers for many years. Many traders switch to our products because of their quality and because of the customer and technical support service.
Finally, those who have advised Sogodo to do a charge-back because TS Support would not be able to prove anything should be aware of the fact that they are assisting fraudulent activities.
