Any applicable taxes will be calculated and added during the checkout process based on your billing and/or shipping address. You are responsible for the payment of all applicable taxes associated with your purchase.
Price Changes: Central Lense Inc. reserves the right to modify prices at any time. Price changes do not affect orders that have already been completed and confirmed. For subscription-based licenses, pricing may be adjusted at the time of renewal, and you will be notified of any price changes prior to your renewal date.
Errors: In the event of a pricing error on the Marketplace, Central Lense Inc. reserves the right to cancel any orders placed at the incorrect price. If your order is canceled due to a pricing error, you will receive a full refund of any amounts paid. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you promptly of any such cancellation.
