- For Payment by Check:
- Due to high bank fees, PsL can only accept checks drawn on U.S. banks for
- U.S. Dollars. Outside the U.S., please use MasterCard, Visa, American Express,
- or travelers checks, or currency sent by certified mail.
- If paying for retail products by check - PsL holds shipment of retail
- products for 10 days for the check to clear. To avoid a delay and still
- receive the "cash discount", use a money order or certified check.
- PD/shareware disk orders paid by check are shipped immediately.
-
-
- PD/Shareware Disks:
- ==================
- The Listing in PsL News is a very abbreviated guide to the programs in PsL.
- For important additional information, get the Reviews Disks or Source Book,
- both of which contain complete writeups of the programs in PsL, including
- shareware registration fees and hardware/software requirements.
-
- An asterisk (*) by a disk number in the Listing in PsL News indicates that the
- disk is a Small Programs disk which contains many programs/files of a type
- indicated by the disk name. These disks are updated monthly, with new programs
- being added, outdated programs deleted, etc. As a result, the contents of
- these disks are subject to change. If you are ordering a Small Programs disk
- or Monthly Additions disk SOLELY for one specific program on the disk, you
- must let us know when ordering so that we can verify that the desired program
- is still on the disk. In the area below, please indicate such programs by
- putting their names in parentheses so that we can distinguish them from disk
- names.
-
- Disk Numbers:
- ============
- PsL's library is maintained on 360k, 5.25" disks. These disks normally have
- numbers under 5000. Some programs take multiple 360k disks; these are
- indicated by a number in brackets, such as "0070 [3] PC-File". In this
- example, disk 0070, PC-File is a three-disk set.
-
- Multi-disk sets were $5 per disk in the past, but now may be ordered as
- MegaDisk sets (explained below) for a total of $6.99.
-
- If you do not have 5.25" drives, we can copy the disks onto 3.5" 720k disks.
- We can only copy one 5.25" disk onto one 720k disk. An additional fee of $1
- per disk is added for this special handling and higher media cost.
-
- MegaDisk Sets: (on 1.44meg OR 360k OR 720k disks)
- -------------
- To make it less costly to try out several programs of a similar type, or to
- try out programs that take up multiple disks for one program, PsL has
- pioneered the MegaDisk Set. These are collections of 360k disks that we have
- combined onto 1.44meg 3.5" disks and offer for a special low price of just
- $6.99. As many as six 360k disks may be in a MegaDisk set. The sets may be
- ordered on 360k disks OR one 1.44meg disk for the same price; however, to get
- a MegaDisk set on 720k 3.5" disks, there is a handling/media charge of $3 for
- the set in addition to the $6.99 fee.
-
- MegaDisk Sets are indicated in the Listing in PsL News with 7000-series
- numbers and are always grouped together. In other words, all of the disks that
- have the same 7000-series number are part of one $6.99-set, or you can still
- order any individual disk in the set at our regular disk fees.
-
- Due to the already extremely low cost of the MegaDisk sets, any of PsL's free
- disk offers and quantity discounts for members are restricted to 360k disks
- only (or 720k disks with $1/disk handling).

- NOTICE: *ALL* SALES ARE FINAL
- *********************
- Retail Products:
- ---------------
- Unlike most mail-order discount resellers, PsL normally sells only products
- that PsL has tested and heartily recommends. Many of these products we use
- ourselves and we may be able to help you install and use such products or
- offer advice about them. HOWEVER...
-
- PsL does not warrant any of the products it distributes to be 100% error free
- nor to be compatible with every possible combination of hardware or software.
- Retail Products are covered solely by the manufacturer's warranty.
-
- Due to our extremely low margins (usually $10 or less) and the fact that our
- suppliers often will not accept returns, PsL cannot accept returns. If you
- have any doubts about the product you are ordering being what you want or
- about it working with your system, please call the manufacturer first to
- resolve these questions. PsL cannot make refunds.
-
- PD/Shareware Disks:
- ------------------
- PD/Shareware disks are warranted only to be the disk # ordered and to contain
- programs specifically ordered and to be machine readable. However, PsL does
- investigate all bug reports and may, solely at PsL's option, offer exchanges
- or free updates if a program has a serious bug that escaped our testing.
-
- Shareware is fully functioning and documented, but copyrighted, software which
- PsL is licensed to distribute for a disk fee for the purpose of allowing users
- to try out programs before paying for them. Use of such programs beyond a
- reasonable evaluation period requires payment to the author or a license fee.
-
- Public domain and "freeware" programs require no additional payment to anyone.
- See the Reviews Disks and/or Source Book and/or PsL News for more information.
-
- As indicated by the definitions given above, PsL is not selling the software.
- The fees you pay are disk copying fees. That is why we can warrant the disk
- copies, but not the software. PsL will recopy disks if necessary, but we do
- not make refunds of disk copying fees.
-
- Problems?
- ========
- If you have problems, please call PsL's Tech Support at 713-524-6394.
- Resolving problems virtually NEVER requires returning disks or products to
- PsL, so please save yourself and us time and money by calling first.
-
- Nelson Ford, owner of PsL, is also a shareware author and one of the founders
- of the Association of Shareware Professionals and currently on the Board of
- Directors of ASP, along with top shareware authors such as Jim Button. PsL has
- been widely recommended by the press as being the top shareware distributor in
- terms of quality and service. Nevertheless, differences of opinions can arise
- and PsL and ASP want to make sure that shareware works for you. If you have a
- difference of opinion with PsL (or with any other ASP member), the ASP
- Ombudsman may be able to help mediate. You may contact the Ombudsman at
- Assoc. Shareware Professionals, 325 118th Ave. S.E., Suite 200, Bellevue, WA
- 98006.
