Definitely NOT an authorized reseller. Note the following "Terms
and Conditions" from the website:

2.3. You cannot register the software with the manufacturer and
updates are available not for all the products;
2.4. You do not receive printed license documentation;
2.5. You do not receive a copy of the software on a disk.
2.6. The Store will assist the Customer with downloading and
installation issues. We will not provide technical support after
the software product is downloaded and installed; neither will it
be available from the manufacturer of the software product.

You would be paying for the privilege of downloading an illegal
copy of software from their website. No CD, no manual, no
support, no updates, no product registration (not sure if that
means product activation too, which is required if you want to
use Microsoft Office). Caveat emptor.

Great choice of words.

It just goes to show why EVERYONE SHOULD read the Terms and Conditions.

What makes me wonder...reading their terms and conditions...which they call
a "legal" contract...can you have a legal binding contract to purchase
copyright infringed illegal software? Kinda doubt it !!
