What forms of payment do you accept?
At the moment we only accept prepaid accounts which are topped up using your credit card, EFT or Paypal. In order to purchase a subscription or license you need to register and make a payment to achieve a positive balance on your account. Prior to ordering a new license or subscription you should ensure that your account has sufficient funds in order to make the purchase.
Does Databias store my credit card details?
Databias does not store credit card details. Each time you top-up your account you will be required to re-enter your credit card payment details.
Should you wish to pay via EFT (the preferred method), please ensure that payment is received by the 5th day of each month otherwise your services will be automatically terminated and licensing revoked.
Please make sure you familiarise yourself with Databias’ Terms and Conditions should you have any queries in this regard.
Do you charge for support?
We do not charge for our first level support services such as configuring email clients on mobile, OS X and Windows desktops, licensing queries and email routing and delivery. This includes telephonic and remotely accessed support such as TeamViewer.
What is your support system’s general turnaround time?
Depending on the current load of support requests, during working hours (GMT+2 / South African time) our support team generally responds to support requests within an hour or two.
Out of office hours and during public holidays our support team can take 6 – 8 hours to respond to any queries.
How can I get in touch with support?
We currently have 2 methods of getting in touch with our support team:
- Emailing support@databias.co.za
- Initiating a live chat conversation via our website
In future you will be able to create requests for support via the Dcentral interface, however this feature is still currently in beta and as such not available for use. Support requests will NOT be initiated via telephone, Whatsapp or SMS. Our support team is trained only to act on existing tickets and no changes will be made until the requester has been positively authenticated.
