Wisdom Quotes is shareware, so you have the opportunity to try it out before you buy it. The following methods of payment are acceptable: 1. Ordering with a credit card 2. Ordering without a credit card 1. Ordering with a credit card ============================== Credit card orders are handled for me by Kagi, Inc. (http://www.kagi.com), a service agency which handles hundreds of other authors. You can choose to purchase online via Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, or First Virtual at the following locations: Secure order form at "http://order.kagi.com/?J7N&S". Non-secure order form at "http://order.kagi.com/?J7N". This method is the most convenient, and yields the quickest turnaround of your license key. Do not send technical support questions to Kagi, as this will only serve to delay your response. For this method, you must use the "REGISTER.EXE" program included to fill out the order form. The completed form can then be emailed to Kagi, Inc.. The Register program includes on-line help containing instructions for use. 2. Ordering without a credit card ================================= If you do not have a credit card, you CANNOT order through Kagi, Inc.

Mail the registration form to this address: Chan Kok Leong C/O Lee Kong Choong PO Box 693, 30780 Ipoh, Perak West Malaysia Cheques are to be drawn in favour of Chan Kok Leong and sent to the above postal address. Malaysian can also directly transfer the money to my bank account. Contact me at samchan@kagi.com for my bank account number. The last option (for single user only) is to send me the registration form and include US$10 in cash (wrapped in thick paper to make the cash less obvious). But this is entirely at your own risk. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wisdom Quotes v1.0 REGISTRATION FORM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: _________________________________________ Company: _________________________________________ Address: _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ Email: _________________________________________ Name to register Wisdom Quotes to: _________________________________________ REGISTRATION DETAILS -------------------- Site licenses cover a single organization for an area of up to one hundred miles (160 km)in radius.
