- paid but got a db max connections massage, my order was NOT saved

I really hope they get back to us!

Same here. Another problem: They charge VAT even if you have a valid non-spanish VAT number. I guess it's a pretty wild day for a small company :p
Same thing occured to me as well.

We tend to abbreviate Firefox OS "FxOS".
