Please note that buyers of BlueGriffon licenses get the User's Manual for free with their purchase. Please note the manual is not open source or redistributable. This manual is delivered in PDF format (with hyperlinks), has more than a hundred pages and is in english. Warning, this is the User's Manual for BlueGriffon, not a HTML, CSS or EPUB tutorial. The most complex CSS features of BlueGriffon will be explained in the Manual, but we won't explain there in details how works for instance the font-family CSS property... Purchasers of this Manual will receive free updates of the Manual for life, all updates, minor or major, following the evolution of the editor BlueGriffon itself.

Back to top Support Please file all bugs, suggestions and requests in our Bugzilla. Product is "BlueGriffon", please write in english. FAQ Can I pay in US$ or another currency than Euros ?

PayPal will automatically convert our prices in Euros to a price in the currency your PayPal account is using. What's SendOwl?

They're our Shopping Basket processor. By the way, SendOwnl never sees your Credit Card information when you purchase from us. We don't see them either, of course. The payment is processed by Stripe or Paypal. We only deal with the shopping basket, through SendOwl. What are the "Taxes" I see when I order the product?

It's VAT and it's only added to purchases made by european individuals and companies. That's absolutely mandatory, since we're also based in Europe. Nothing we can do about it, sorry. It does not apply to customers outside of the European Union. Since the 1st of January 2015, European VAT is based on the location of the buyer, not the seller's. That's why the VAT rate applied to our products for two customers based in two different european countries can differ. That's a EU Directive and there's nothing we can do about it. That's also why we don't show the price with VAT before you select your country of residence during checkout... I purchased a license and all I got is a link to the User's Manual, a license key and a transaction ID, no software ?

That's totally normal. BlueGriffon® is a free download. Install it and enter your license information through the Preferences panel to enable the commercial features. What happened to the Add-ons? What happens if I still use a version of BlueGriffon with add-ons? Our previous line of add-ons was discontinued and add-ons made for versions of BlueGriffon older than 2.0 will NOT work with this version 3.1... It is then HIGHLY recommended to delete your pre-2.0 profile that is in ~/Library/Application\ Support/BlueGriffon on OSX, AppData/Roaming/Disruptive\ Innovations\ SARL on Windows and ~/.disruptive\ innovations\ sarl on Linux) OR, even better, create another profile (see the User's Manual). I lost my license key and/or transaction ID or I can't activate my license, can you help ?

Yes. Please contact us by email and be ready to answer some questions before we send you back your credentials. If you could provide us with your Transaction ID, that will save some time and emails. What's the difference between BlueGriffon and BlueGriffon EPUB Edition? The Web editor and the EPUB editor used to be two different products. We merged the two products into one starting with version 2.2. How will you notify us about future versions?

BlueGriffon® makes a very simple call home when you launch it to check if a new version is available. An alert will show up if that's the case. You can tweak this behavior in the Updates section of the Preferences panel. What's your Privacy Policy about that call? Let's state it very clearly: the only data we store about BlueGriffon® and coming from you (besides your purchase order itself) are of two kinds: When the application activates or verifies a license, it sends us your license information and an application ID. Nothing more. We don't store these calls at all. Never. When it checks if a new version is available, it sends us the date of the request, the version of BlueGriffon you're currently using and the appID mentioned just above. We store only the date and the version number. Absolutely nothing more. We do not aggregate these data with our license database. And we do that only for global statistics. We do not store and will never store your IP address or even the operating system you're using, BlueGriffon does not transmit and will never transmit your identity, language, information about the documents you're creating/editing, etc.. Be sure we care as much about privacy as you do. Who are you ?
