If you want to pay by credit card, with a First Virtual account, or in non-US currency, please follow the directions in this file for using the accompanying Register program and send your payment to Kagi. If you're using a credit card, you can use the World Wide Web instead. The registration address is:
http://kagi.direct.net/cgi-bin/register1.cgi?UD
If you want to pay by check or money order in U.S. dollars or by cash in U.S. dollars, you can use the Register program and send your payment to Kagi, but you will get faster service if you mail your payment directly to me. Send your check or dollars (wrapped in opaque paper) to me at the address listed in the Centaurian Read Me file. You don't need to run the Register program for this, although you may.
Kagi is a company that facilitates shareware registrations. It processes a
variety of payment types, including international currency, credit card payments,
and electronic banking. More information on Kagi is available at:

KAGI REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
--------------------------------
To use Kagi's registration service to register Centaurian by e-mail, fax, or regular mail:
1) Open the Register program that accompanies Centaurian.
2) Enter your name, your e-mail address, and the number of Centaurian licenses you
wish to purchase (probably one). This program can also be used to register my other game, Snood.
3) If you enjoy Centaurian a great deal and wish to include a bonus, feel free to enter
one in the appropriate box.
4) If you want to offer a comment on Centaurian, click on the little dialog balloon
next to the Centaurian information, and enter your comments.
5) Select the form of payment you intend to use, and enter the appropriate
information.
6) NOTE: If you're using a credit card, please click on the little credit card icon, and
enter your billing address there.
7) You probably don't need to select Postcard Receipt. Kagi charges $1 to send this to you. Kagi will send you e-mail confirmation anyway, and I will always send you a registration information letter.
8) When you're finished:
If you're paying by cash or check: Choose Print from the Register program,
and send the printout and payment to Kagi or to me.
If you're paying by credit card or First Virtual you have some options:
a. Choose Copy, then open your e-mail program and paste the information into
an e-mail. Their e-mail address is sales@kagi.com.
b. Choose Save, then include the saved file into an e-mail message.
c. If you have a fax modem, fax the information to Kagi at (510) 652-6589.
d. Choose Print, and mail the printout to Kagi. This will be slower than the other
methods.
Payments sent to Kagi via e-mail are processed within 3 to 4 days. You will receive
an e-mail acknowledgement from Kagi when your payment is processed. Payments
sent to Kagi via fax take up to 10 days, and if you provide a correct internet e-mail address, you will receive an e-mail acknowledgement.
If you are paying with Cash (in any listed currency) or Check (US $ only), you should
print out your data using the Register application and send the printout to the address
shown on the form, which is:
Kagi
1442-A Walnut Street #392-UD
Berkeley, California 94709-1405
USA
You can pay with a wide variety of cash from different countries, but if
you pay via check, it must be a check drawn in US Dollars. Kagi cannot accept
checks in other currencies. The conversion rate for non-US $ checks is around
US $15 per check which is not practical.
An invoice option exists, but it's hard to see how you would want to buy Centaurian
this way. Contact me if you want to do this, and we can work it out.
Please do not fax or e-mail payment forms that indicate Cash, Check or Invoice as
the payment method. You can't fax or e-mail this kind of payment, so sending the form
this way won't do any good.
Payments sent via postal mail take time to reach Kagi and then up to 10 days for
processing. If you include a correct e-mail address, you will hear from Kagi
when the form is processed. I will send you the registration code and other
information as soon as I receive word from Kagi that your payment has arrived.
