How we do business:

Kagi Software does business via email . We receive postal mail, email, faxes
 and phone calls, and process registration payments.  Kagi Software processes
 software product payments for several hundred authors and their programs.
We need for you to use the Register program that came with you program since
 most of the payment processing is automated to keep costs low and frees us
 help you when you need it.

How we can respond to you:

After processing we will send all registered users an email that will give you
 more information about Kagi Software and your program. Email and fax
 registrations will be sent an acknowledgement that we received your
 registration request. Because of the low percentage that Kagi Software
 charges for payment processing we will not respond with a phone call, unless
 you have an "800" number or receive collect calls, and we do not send faxes.
The only mail that we send is postcard receipts that have been paid for.
Kagi Software is NOT a software publisher and does not ship any product or
 return anything sent on disks. Kagi Software does not provide technical
 support for any of the other programs they handle.

For technical support:

Contact the authors of the individual programs. [e-mail] The email
 address of the author should also be on the copy of the registration form
 that you send us, so save a copy for yourself.

How to get help from us if you need it:

If you do not get a response from your registration request in a reasonable
 amount of time, email four days, faxes six days, postal mail a few weeks,
 please send the message below to us with the information entered. This way
 we can help you as quickly as possible:

The ╥Register╙ Application.

Your copy of NPCOMM should come with a small program called ╥Register╙, which
 you use to create a personalized registration form to send to Kagi Software.
If you do not have the ╥Register╙ application, you should download a fresh
 copy of the whole NPCOMM package because the latest version of NPCOMM
 includes the Register program.

It is vital that you use the registration program since payments sent without
 the registration form it generates can be delayed or lost. Included in this
 file are five other files, Purchase Order instructions, Email instructions,
 Fax instructions, and Postal mail instructions that are simple step-by-step
 instructions to help you. The other file is Common Mistakes . Please read
 the ones that you think apply to you, especially if you are going to skip
 the rest of this.

When you launch the Register program, a window appears asking for all the
 necessary information. If you have previously registered a program through
 Kagi Software your personal information will appear, double check to see
 that it is right.

You must provide a postal address, a US$1.00 extra charge, or an email
 address,  so that we can contact you.  Please note that we do not reply
 by FAX.

* Type your name, postal address, and e-mail address in the corresponding
 boxes at the top of the window.
* If you have no email address enter "none".

**** Special Note: If you do not have an e-mail address, you must  check
 the ╥Postcard Receipt╙ box (which automatically adds $1 to your charge) at
 the bottom right of the window. Otherwise, you will not receive any reply
 to your registration. You will be registered, but you will not have the
 codes.
After the initial postcard receipt Kagi only replies via email.

* Then, fill in the payment details at the bottom left of the window. Choose
 your method of payment from the pop up menu and complete the relevant
 information (credit card number, type of currency, etc.) below.  Make
 checks payable to "Kagi Shareware." Checks must be in US Dollars only.
Please write the program name on the check as well as your email address,
 if you have one. See Email, Fax  and Postal instructions  for more detail.

* Note: Your credit card data is scrambled.Although this is not completely
 secure, we have never had a case of credit card fraud.
* Note: Purchase Orders  must include payment with the invoice. Please see
 the Purchase Order instructions  file.

* Next, indicate the programs you want to register in the middle of the
 window.
Type the number of copies you want to register into the ╥Single User╙ box.
In most cases you should just type ╥1╙. Do not type the purchase price into
 this box since the ╥Register╙ application computes the fee for you. The
 ╥Site╙ and ╥World-Wide╙ check boxes are intended for companies or
 organizations that want a license to use the software on all their machines.
Double check this before you send in the form as you may be charged
 significantly more that you expect if you make a mistake.

* If you feel that the program is worth more than the registration fee,
 you can add an optional bonus in the ╥Bonus US$╙ box.

* Note: If the ╥Register╙ application lists more than three programs, and
 you can use the scroll bar at the right of the window to see the others.

Once you have filled in all this required information, the Register program
 displays the total amount at the bottom right of the window.  Double
 check the total!

Choose one  of these three items, see Email, Fax  and Postal instructions
  for more detail.
* Print...  prints a hard copy of the registration form, which you can
mail to Kagi Software with your payment to the address shown on the form.

* Copy...     puts a copy of the registration form on your clipboard for you to
paste into an e-mail message to send to Kagi Software. This method works only
with credit cards and First Virtual since it is not yet possible to email
 cash or checks.

* Save...     saves a copy of the registration to your hard disk as a
SimpleText document for you to print out or e-mail later.

Double check your registration request to see that all the information is
 correct, if not, correct it using the Register program. Do not edit the
 output produced by the Register program. The Kagi email and postal mail
 addresses are given on the registration form and above. Save a copy for
 yourself. We suggest printing it out. Note the author's email address.


Kagi Software registration, how it works:

After you register, Kagi Software automatically sends you an e-mail reply
titled ╥Thanks for your registration╙. You should print and save this message
 as your receipt. You will also need it if you reinstall the program for any
 reason. If you checked the ╥Postcard Receipt╙ box in the Register program,
 Kagi will send you a postcard with this information. Again, if you do not
 have an e-mail address, you must request a ╥Postcard Receipt╥ since
 otherwise you will not receive any reply.

It can take Kagi up to a week to process a registration from the date they
 receive it (please make sure to factor in the delivery time if you use
 postal mail). If you do not receive the ╥Thanks for your registration╙
 e-mail message, contact Kagi at <[e-mail]> or the postal address
 given on the registration form to ask about the status of your registration.
See *We need this data: above. Keep in mind that some registrations can get
 lost in the mail on the way to Kagi. Please make sure to seal the envelope
 and write your email address on the check. Also, sometimes the e-mail reply
 gets lost as well (America Online is particularly unreliable when it comes
 to receiving e-mail from the internet). If you do not receive an email
 confirmation of your payment, contact us with the "*We need this data:"
 from above and ask what happened.
