Why are we hiding the "contact us" link for current users?  en

The only options for Help are Self-Help Guides, Community Forums, to View Other User's Websites, or, of course, to go to the marketplace to buy more components required to complete the "complete software solution" you thought you were purchasing.

WebSite X5 is advertised as a software product that: 

"... stands out from traditional website builders because it is a versatile wizard that is both easy to use as well as complete. There are no fees or commissions: the license includes hosting and allows you to create all the sites you want, for yourself or for others."

However, in reality it merely grants you access to everything else you need to buy piece by piece in order to complete what the program was advertised to do.  I find that lame and misleading, just like making me spend 30 minutes hunting for a contact us link... the only contact us link I've found is for Sales... not for help after you purchased the product.. It's all self-help from there on out. 

I want to relinquish my license and receive a full refund for the purchase price of the software and for the credits I purchased for use in the marketplace. I stopped when learned that not only was this "complete software package" not complete, but the additional components you must but are also incomplete.  Who knows how far the cycle continues before you actually have a finished site.  

I'm sure this will get spun to make is seem like I am unfairly making accusations about the marketing of this product being deliberately misleading. However, its pretty obvious that every headline and snippet of info used in marketing this product is designed to be misleading and glance over or totally neglect to mention all the additional purchases that are required to make a website like any that are featured. 

I believe there is also a deliberate attempt to make getting after-purchase support as difficult as possible.

If someone could kindly reply with the link to the 'request a refund' page, I would greatly appreciate it. Or better yet, I'm sure it would be possible to locate my account by this thread and provide me a with a complete refund so this is the only time I have to express my frustration.  Either way, I don't intend on wasting a great deal more time returning this product that I have not used. I also don't intend on making any phone calls to get my refund as No calls were required to take my money, so no calls shall be required to return it, especially calls to countries outside of my local region.  

I appreciate your understanding and your help. The last 5 digits of my license are 224M9

Hello. To get help from company employees directly, you had to create this message, but select: "Private message for Incomedia Choose this option if you need to communicate confidential Information to Incomedia". You were very close to what you wanted.

Regarding the refund... I sent a notification about your question to the company employees, expect an answer from them here in the comments.

Hello there, 

we are very sorry if WebSite X5 and our service have not met your expectations so far. 

We want to assure you that we are here to help you with any issues you may be facing. Our Help Center is the official support portal for WebSite X5, and it provides various avenues for assistance. While you can create open requests that are managed like a forum, you also have the option to set your requests as private, allowing you to communicate directly with technicians. This way, we can provide personalized assistance according to your specific needs. If you are experiencing any difficulties, we please ask you to create a private ticket just like Aleksej suggested, we will be more than happy to assist you with your requests. 

Additionally, we want to stress that WebSite X5 includes all the necessary functionalities to create a complete website. The resources available on the Marketplace are intended as extras and not necessarily essential for the creation of a complete website. Many of our users have successfully created comprehensive websites using only the included functions, and we are confident that you can achieve the same.

Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience you have encountered, and we appreciate your feedback. We really hope you will give WebSite X5 another chance and that your overall experience will improve. 

Thanks! Best regards.
