The VAT field only applies to EU companies that are VAT registered and have an EU VAT number. Once a valid number has been entered, the applied tax may be removed according to regulations about intra-community transactions. The VAT field should be left blank for anyone outside the European Union (companies and consumers) and also should be left blank for EU consumers and individuals (that are not VAT registered companies).
We now accept American Express in our regular payment gateway.
Our Annual Subscription is a one year commitment that gets charged monthly.
Please note: if you have paid with PayPal and have a pending transaction for your account, the cancellation will take effect after the pending transaction has been processed.
The Annual is our unlimited downloads subscription. It’s a one-year commitment and the user is charged in monthly installments of $35 per month.
Our Trial subscription is the default setting for all new users. It allows the user 5 sound downloads per month. Any sound downloaded from our Trial subscription can only be used for personal projects and is not for commercial use. All users that upgrade to our paid subscription are allowed to use any sound downloaded from their trial period for commercial use.
If you paid by card, go to the Billing tab in your account where you can Edit your card information.
Some older customers may not be able to edit their card info due to a recent change in our payment system. In those cases, you will need to allow the subscription to expire, after which you may purchase your next subscription from our products page with your new card info.
If you paid with PayPal and want to switch to a card (or vice versa), go to the Billing tab and switch Auto-renew to the Off position. When your subscription reaches its end, you will then be able to input new billing information under your user name.
We are aware of these extra credit card charges may occur, but they are third party bank charges for foreign transaction which we can’t control. A number of US banks have a policy of adding a fee to the transaction if the seller is located outside of the USA which can reach as high as 3%. Soundsnap never charges or receives any additional fees; the total amount you see on your screen when you purchase our products is the amount we receive.
Go to ‘My Account’ at the top right corner of any page, then choose ‘Billing’ from the dropdown. From the Billing page, you can view the details of your recurring subscription and cancel or reactivate it at any time by clicking the Automatic Renewal button. Note that for PayPal recurring payments, any pending payments must be processed before a subscription is canceled completely.
