# Buying Pollination Products

This section covers everything that you need to know for buying Pollination. We will explain [Pollination subscription types](/user-manual/getting-started/buying-pollination-products/seats-vs-licenses.md) before explaining [how to set up your Pollination organization](/user-manual/getting-started/buying-pollination-products/setting-up-your-pollination-organization.md) and [buy the subscriptions for your organization](/user-manual/getting-started/buying-pollination-products/creating-new-pollination-subscriptions.md).

Let's answer some of the most frequently asked questions that come up in the process of buying Pollination before getting started.

## Frequently asked questions

### Where can I find Pollination Terms of Service? Is Pollination GDPR compliant?

Yes. You can find Pollination Terms of Service, as well as other legal documents under the [legal section](/user-manual/legal/terms_of_service.md).

### Are you collecting project data? What is your data privacy policy?

No. Unless you use Pollination for cloud simulation, which we don't offer anymore, we don't collect project identifiable data. See our [Privacy Policy](/user-manual/legal/privacy_policy.md) document for more details.

### How can I get a quote?

If you need to know the prices, our rates are listed on [our pricing page](https://pollination.solutions/pricing). To start a purchase order, send us an email at `sales [at] pollination [dot] solutions`. Please provide a detailed list of the subscriptions you are interested in purchasing. [See this page to understand how the Pollination licensing works.](/user-manual/getting-started/buying-pollination-products/seats-vs-licenses.md)

### Do you offer purchase by both invoices and credit cards?

Yes, we support both methods. You can purchase a Pollination license using either a credit card or an invoice. The invoice-based purchase is available only for yearly subscriptions. [See this page to learn how to request an invoice](/user-manual/getting-started/buying-pollination-products/creating-new-pollination-subscriptions.md).

### How can I set you as a vendor in our company's system?

We use [Paddle](https://www.paddle.com/) for processing all our payments. Paddle acts as a Pollination reseller ([or, to be more accurate, the Merchant of Record](https://www.paddle.com/blog/what-is-merchant-of-record)). This means you will pay and receive invoices from Paddle on behalf of Ladybug Tools, and not directly from Ladybug Tools. This is important if you need to set us up as a vendor in your company's system.

[You can find Paddle's procurement information on this page](https://www.paddle.com/about/procurement).
