Issue With Avangate Auto-renewal

notaspam

Hello! I hope this info will help others respond in time.

I have been using bitdefender for two years now and i'm very satisfied but

this year somehow ther's this avangate auto-renewal which automatically takes payment from my credit card for the same product as before.

It jus automatically subscibes me for auto-renewal when i register in avangate and they sent me one e-mail for this only four days before taking payment- I didn't have any time to cancel this auto-renewal which I definetly would do because I like to test before buying other security suites and then choose.

I contacted avantage but they just seying that they are only payment processors.

Hope ther's will not be any problems with bitdefender for refunding.

I have received today an e-mail notification from avangate that I had purchased a prologation of licence for bitdefender 2010

I would have expected at least a notification a couple of days before with a cancellation option.

That has NOT happend.

I also was not aware that I had agreed to continous subscription, which I would have cancelled.

I expect therefor a full refund on my VISA Card acccount, I do not have Bitdefender in use any more.

It is illegal in Germany and Austria to sell in such a way and I reserve right for legal action should there be no refund in reasonable time.
