Approval and Private Region delivery
Submitting an order does not obligate you to pay immediately; payment is made once the Private Region has been delivered and the invoice sent.
- When you place the order, you receive a sales order confirmation. This is merely an order confirmation, not a notice of delivery.
- Once you place the order, your order enters the approval queue.
- Once the order is approved, you receive an approval email and your order is placed in the delivery queue.
- After approval, delivery time under normal circumstances is 10-15 business days.
You cannot make a payment until you receive an invoice, which you then have 30 days to pay. Invoices for maintenance are emailed when the payment schedule is ready for renewal.

Warning: Late payment may result in the closure of your Private Region and the loss of any inventory it contains. |
