Computer Retailers
Customized WAITER Version
Often we are contacted by computer retailers requesting site
licensing information. For obvious reasons we are unable to
offer site licenses to retailers.
What we do offer in its place is a much better arrangement for
the retailer. We offer a customized version of the WAITER with
your business name and address embedded in the program. This
unique version can then be placed on every computer system you
sell. The WAITER is the most visible software on the computer,
and it makes a perfect place to do a little advertising. Since
most new computer purchasers want to show off their new system to
friends, business acquaintances, relatives, etc., why not let
them know where they acquired such a nice system. For a small
fee we can provide you with all of this. This license is good
for one year from the purchase date and allows you to install it
on any computer system you sell. You will find the contract,
order form, and prices attached to this document. Please review
the contract and if you have any questions feel free to contact
us. We can also provide you with a sample program to illustrate
how the software will appear to your customers.
