Downloading help
We are unable to sell any of our electronic services to customers who live in the EU. This is because of EU VAT rules that were put in place to stop larger companies failing to pay due taxes in the countries where the products were sold. We would need to be VAT registered in every EU country and submit monthly VAT returns to each country whether we sold any downloads to customers within that country. We have therefore decided to block any customers from buying within the EU. Sorry, but until the rules change this condition will stay.
It is possible for your order to include multiple downloads, and also a mix of
virtual and physical products all within the same shopping cart. Please ensure that
your cart only contains one of each downloadable product as we do not offer refunds if two
or more items of the same download are purchased together.
On each of the download product pages there is a few sentences which
state "You agree that adding this product to your cart will allow us to
supply the download during the legal 14 day cooling off period and you
acknowledge that your right to cancel the contract will be lost with this
consent to start the supply of the digital content. DO NOT add this to your cart
if you do not agree to this." This has been added because from the 13th June
2014 the Consumer Contracts Regulations, which implement the Consumer Rights
Directive in UK law, came into effect. These regulations apply to items bought
online, at a distance, or away from a traders premises. They replace the
Distance Selling Regulations and Doorstep Selling Regulations. They also make it
an obligation for traders to give consumers certain information. They also now
include download or virtual products not supplied on a physical media. The
regulations want us to sell downloads, but not to send them within the 14 days
cooling off period, which seems silly when customers want an immediate download.
This small bit of text gives us the ability to allow you to download the items
as soon as you have paid for them on the understanding that you will not ask to
cancel the order once you have received it.
All of our download products have a time limit and a download quantity restriction limit. You have 21
days and 3 clicks on the download button before the download will be disabled. If this
happens, and in these time limits you have not managed to save a copy of your download to your
computer, please contact us by email, and we will reset your download links.
Should you still be having problems, we will send you a copy by email.
The question we get asked most is "How do I get my downloads?"
The system used by the website is not that complicated, and if used
correctly your downloads are available immediately on return to the website after
making your payment. The biggest reason for not
getting downloads is not returning to the website once payment has
been made. In other words, customer operator error.
The actual procedure is -
1. From the download product page, add the items you require to your cart by clicking on the ADD TO
CART button.
2. Once you have finished adding items you wish to purchase go to the
SHOPPING CART page.
3. Click on the CHECKOUT button.
4. You will then be asked to login, or register. If you are not already
registered, you will have to complete the registration form to login. Once
completed you will be returned to the checkout page. If you have previously
registered, you will be asked to enter you login information. Once you have done
this, you will be returned to the checkout page.
5a. If your order only includes free downloads you will skip straight to the
ORDER CONFIRMATION page.
5b.If your order contains only paid for downloads you will be taken to the
PAYMENT page where PayPal should be the only option. Select the payment
method, and click the CONTINUE CHECKOUT button. You will then be sent to
the ORDER CONFIRMATION page.
5c. If your order contains a mix of free and paid for products and downloads,
you will be taken to the SHIPPING selection page where you should select
your required shipping method. Then click the CONTINUE CHECKOUT button.
You will then be on the PAYMENT page where you should select your
required payment method. Once selected, click the CONTINUE CHECKOUT
button. You will then be sent to the ORDER CONFIRMATION page.
6. Now on the ORDER CONFIRMATION page, read the information there and if
correct, click on the LEGAL AGREEMENTS checkbox and finally click on the
CONFIRM ORDER AND PAY button.
7a. If you use PayPal to pay for your downloads you will be taken from the
website to the PayPal page where you can pay using any debit or credit card. Once the PayPal
payment is complete, please ensure that you return to our website by either clicking the return
to website link, or wait for PayPal to automatically redirect you, to download your purchases.
Closing your browser prior to returning to our site will mean that your order may not
have been completed correctly and your download links may not be generated automatically.
7b. If you use the Stripe payment system there will be a page where you can
enter your card information on the website. Once the information is entered
correctly click on the FINALISE AND PAY button. You will then be directed
to the ORDER COMPLETE page.
8. The final page is the ORDER COMPLETE page where you should see details
about your order, and at the bottom of the page should be your download buttons
and links. Click on the DOWNLOAD BUTTON, or the HIGHLIGHTED TEXT link,
and an option box to save or open the download file will open. Select the save
option and save the file to a place on your computer where you know they are for
future use.
If you did not return to the website after payment
Should you not return to the Railwayscenics web page, your downloads are
still available in your Railwayscenics account. To access your account please follow these simple steps.
1. Near the top of the page in the right hand corner there is a button labelled MY PROFILE. Click this button and a
drop down list appears and click on the MY ORDERS link. If you are
not logged in, you will be taken to the login page. Enter your details and a new
page MY ORDER HISTORY opens. If you are already logged in you should have
been taken straight to the MY ORDER HISTORY page.
2. Once into your account you have two options. The first is to click on the
VIEW (EYE) button next to the order you wish to see, in the overview area.
3. The ORDER INFORMATION page opens where all the order details can be seen.
Near the bottom of the page there should be all the download links. Click the
DOWNLOAD button to receive the download you require. An options box
should open allowing you to save the file to your computer. Save the file to your computer.
