Answer:
Orders on the Webstore are generally rejected due to one of two reasons: 1) The Billing Address provided does not closely match the billing address associated with your credit card account -OR- 2) The credit card has insufficient available funds/credit to allow the order to be processed. In the event that your order is rejected you will be given the opportunity to place your order again, where you can either modify your billing address to more closely match the one associated with your credit card account or use a different credit card. top
Answer:
All orders ship out almost immediately. Delays have been known to occur, most often involving customs, but shipments generally arrive at their destinations in good stead.

Downloading

Answer:
Once payment for your order is successfully processed, you will be able to access the Download Station where you can download all of the tracks and albums which you have purchased. You have two options when downloading tracks from the Download Station: 1. You can download all the tracks in your order as a single ZIP file -OR- 2. You may download each of the MP3 files on an individual basis, by clicking on the link for each track and saving each MP3 file on your computer. Additional instructions will be displayed on the Download Station page. An Order Confirmation e-mail will also be sent to the e-mail address you provided during checkout. This e-mail will contain a direct link to the Download Station for your order. This allows you to return to the Download Station to finish downloading your tracks at a later point in time. You will be able to access the Download Station for 10 full days after your order is completed. top
Answer:
Should you opt to download all the tracks in your order as a single ZIP file from the Download Station, your web browser will typically prompt you to Save or Open the file (using the default ZIP decompression software configured on your computer). Recent versions of Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS X have built-in support for ZIP files and you should be able to open the ZIP file simply by double-clicking on the saved ZIP file. Then, simply use the software's extraction/decompression function to extract the MP3 files to a location of your choice on your computer. Should you require ZIP decompression software, you can download freely available versions of WinZip (for Windows) or StuffIt (for Mac OS). top
Answer:
If you are using a version of Microsoft Internet Explorer on an Mac computer, you may experience some difficulties downloading tracks from the Download Station. When clicking on a track link, Internet Explorer for Mac OS may automatically download the MP3 file, assigning it the incorrect filename "app" and begin playback of the file using the the default audio player. This is a limitation of Internet Explorer for Mac. In order to properly download MP3 files with the correct filename, you must hold down the "Option" key while clicking on each of the track links. This will queue the download of the MP3 file in Internet Explorer's Download Manager window with the appropriate filename for each MP3 file. The files will typically download onto your Mac's Desktop, unless you've configured Internet Explorer to use another download location. If you continue to experience difficulties, you can contact Technical Support. top
 

Security

Answer:
The Insurgence Webstore uses industry-standard 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt the transmission of all your information during the Checkout process, including your customer and credit card information. The SSL encryption begins as soon as you enter the Checkout page and is denoted by the locked padlock icon which appears at the bottom of your web browser window (or top, depending on which browser you're using). SSL encryption technology is the same level of security technology used by virtually all major online shopping and web banking sites. If that makes you feel any safer. top
