Business Policies
Pyramid Software Development(PSD)

Business Policies

(these policies are in effect from 4/1/93)

The following information describes PSD's policies regarding version changes, program updates,

registration and pricing, notification of updates and other aspects that we will follow in conducting business with our customers.  All information is subject to change without prior notice.

Versions

Major versions are released for the initial program, when major changes are made to the user

interface, and when additional functions and options are added to the program.

Minor versions are released when changes are made to existing functions and options, when

making minor changes to the user interface, and when improvements are made to make the

program easier to use.

Bug Fix versions are released when errors are noticed and corrected.

The following example indicates how to interpret our version numbers:

VideoPoker V.1.2bS.

V = version. 1 = Major version. 2 = minor update. b = bugs fixed.

S = shareware.

Note: PSD reserves the right to make or not make changes to any of its titles.  The above version information is provided as a guideline that we will strive to maintain.  PSD will try to

resolve any problems you may have with the operation of our software, but no promises are

being made that we will be able to do so.

Registration and Pricing

The following information tells you what you get for registering a shareware product produced

by PSD.

PSD pricing policy on its shareware products is as follows:

Customers who register any shareware product purchased through PSD will automatically be

eligible for a 20% discount on all future registration and/or licensing fees.  Products must be registered through PSD for discount to apply.  PSD's shareware titles are denoted by an 's' or 'S' following the version number.

All customers who have registered programs prior to April 1, 1993 are also eligible for the 20%

discount.

All registered customers are entitled to minor updates and bug fixes of registered titles free of charge.

Registered users are entitled to major updates of the same title at 50% off the price listed in the

registration document included with the software.  The 20% discount also applies. As an example

of your cost:

Registration price for Version 2.1s of Casino BlackJack for Windows is $10.  You are a

registered user of Version 1.Xs of Casino BlackJack for Windows.  Your cost would be

$4 ($5 x 80%) + applicable sales tax.

Registration of a program automatically registers you for minor updates and bug fixes to that program.  No additional registration is required.

Notification

To be notified of major releases, minor updates, and bug fixes to registered titles, please include

your GEnie, CompuServe, or America Online address when registering the program.  Users of the previous information services will receive notice when changes are made to a program.  You may also call, write, or send e-mail to PSD to inquire about updates.

File Information

Included in each of our programs (with the exception of Casino BlackJack for Windows versions

2.0 and below, and Corporate Traders) is a dialog box that contains information on all of the files

that were distributed with the program.  This information is provided to help ensure that you are

getting all the files that were distributed and that none have been modified.  If you feel that a file

has been modified or find that one is missing, please contact us.

Miscellaneous

All programs are tested for viruses prior to uploading.  All programs are also available with an

automated installation routine for an additional cost of US$5.00 to cover shipping and handling.

Note: All prices, terms, and policies are subject to change without notice.

What is Shareware?


WHAT IS SHAREWARE?

Shareware distribution gives you a chance to try software before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With

registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the software to an updated program with printed manual.

Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors require written

permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes meeting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.  Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.

Roulette is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the user for evaluation.  Feel free to share it with your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of another system.  If you find this program useful and find that you are using it and continue to use it after a reasonable trial period, please register the program.
