For what it's worth, based on your write up, they have lost any chance to do business with me or the people I work with. I know that the $99 isn't a huge deal to you and you don't seem to really be taking it that hard, but $99 should mean less to them in the face of providing what would universally be seen as excellent customer support. Their lack of willingness to issue a refund over a measily $99 reeks of either desperation or the propensity to cut off one's nose to spite their face. Be it either, it shows that they are not a player in the majors and that we are better off sticking to the real players who will not only end up providing a solution, but are also known for excellence in customer service. Long live Apple and Adobe. We use them both here, and your incident just reaffirms that decision.

Thanks for sharing.

Just curious - do you really think Adobe or Apple would give you your money back on a software download? Hint: not likely.

Not that I don't think it would have been nice for DxO to do so, but they are certainly under no obligation to.


Maybe he doesn't believe that people should be held accountable for their own poorly researched purchase decisions.

Feel free to straw man that one to death if you like, but the fact is that no matter whether you think it is justified or not, DXO just lost at least a few possible sales. Money is money, and when you leave consumers feeling like they wish they would not have purchased from you, especially in this day and age, then you cut off your nose to spite your face.

Its fine, ultimately, as they have every right to do that, and maybe he did not research thouroughly, but people also have the right to choose when it comes to their wallets. With so much competition out there and bigger companies leading the way, DXO needs consumers more than consumers need DXO.
