(There is much hype about "secure" credit card payment sites because it is theoretically possible for ISPs or Telcos to intercept E-Mail messages and then attempt to make illegal charges to your credit card. However, they are not likely to do so, and like hundreds of shop assistants your ISP probably already has your credit card details! We are not aware of this type of fraud having ever happened anywhere. Even if someone did get your numbers unauthorized unsigned transactions can be easily challenged. However, if you do not wish to send credit card details by E-Mail then please phone through the details at the number below (you can leave a message out of business hours, please speak slowly).)

Do you really require an invoice/receipt? Yes No

Terms and Conditions

A Site Licence may be ordered for a division of an organization, or the entire organization, and enables all members of this Site to use the Spreadsheet Detective. The price is based on the total number of Substantial Spreadsheet Users within the Site which is normally less than the total number of Excel users within the Site. This enables all members of the site to benefit from the Spreadsheet Detective while only paying for the substantial ones, as well as making the licence easy to manage.

A Substantial Spreadsheet User is one that spends more than one day per week (on average) building, maintaining or reviewing the formulas in spreadsheet models. A user that only manipulates spreadsheet data values is not a Substantial User. A Site may be an existing administrative part of a organization such as "Corporate Finance, Brisbane", or the entire organization. A Site may contain a single Substantial Spreadsheet User in small organizations.

A Single User licence may only be used by named individuals within an organization. It may only be transferred to other users due to long term changes to the nature of their positions. It may not be transferred frequently to whichever users happen to be building large models at a given time. There is no need to order the licence for all Substantial Spreadsheet Users within a Site, but this means that there will be substantial spreadsheet users within the site that do not benefit from the Spreadsheet Detective.

A Professional Spreadsheet Auditor is a Substantial Spreadsheet User that spends more than one full day per week (on average) reviewing other people's spreadsheet models. These people are charged a premium because the Spreadsheet Detective should provide a major improvement to their productivity and effectiveness. A Site licence can contain a mixture of Professional Spreadsheet Auditors and ordinary Substantial Spreadsheet Users and is priced pro rata.

A Personal Licence enables individuals to purchase the Detective at a substantial discount. It is not available for self employed consultants that are substantial spreadsheet users in their consulting business. Such people may purchase a site licence for one person.

Student licences are available to individuals that are engaged in at least half time academic study and are not being employed as substantial spreadsheet users. Non-Profit organizations generally attract a 50% discount. Academics wishing to use the Detective for research or teaching may generally have the tool at no cost provided they keep us informed about the results of any research.

All licences include twelve months support which includes all upgrades to the Spreadsheet Detective. Ongoing support may be provided for an annual fee of 15% of the licence. Within 30 days of delivery the customer may cancel their licence and request a full refund if, in their opinion, the Spreadsheet Detective has technical limitations that prevent it being effectively utilized. The customer agrees to confirm the number, names and types of users in a Site annually and make additional payments to extend the site licence should the number increase. Alternatively, they may at their option convert the licences to the number of single user licences that could have been purchased for the same price.

While we have taken care to produce a professional product we do not accept any liability for the consequences of using the tool. The software is supplied "as is" and no warranties are made as to the tool's merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose. In no event shall we or anyone involved in the creation, production or delivery of the software be liable for any damages whatsoever arising out of the use of this software.
