I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole. You do not get a legal copy, only a
'backup' of something you already are deemed to legally own. It's just high
priced pirate software. If you already owned a legal copy why would you pay
them 99 USD for a backup copy you could make yourself? Generally, if
something looks too good to be true, there's a catch.

See this from their web site.
