REGISTRATION, SUBSCRIPTION, REIMBURSEMENT FOR POSTAGE IN CASE
OF INCORRECT ADDRESSES, POVERTY OPTION FOR STARVING
SHAREWARE AUTHORS
████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
This software package is SHAREWARE. This means an author or
programmer has prepared software which you are free to copy and
share with others, but the author requests a REGISTRATION FEE
for you to continue LEGAL use and receive additional benefits. If
you received this software from a shareware vendor or computer club
who charged $3 or $4 you have only paid a DISTRIBUTION or HANDLING
FEE to produce an EVALUTION disk of which NO PORTION goes to the
author of the software. You are encouraged to evaluate and use
the software and, if found useful, pay the final REGISTRATION FEE
to the author of the software to become a legally registered user
and receive further benefits specified below. Also note the
following key restriction:
Unregistered users may examine, search and evaluate the main
mailing list but may NOT use it for postal mailings due to decoy
addresses and other methods used to track NON-REGISTERED USERS.
The registration fee payable to the author is $25 which brings
by return mail the UPDATED mailing list database, updates to the
newsletter, registration number and permission to use the
mailing list for postal and direct market mailings. An evaluation
UNREGISTERED COPY of SMS can be obtained from the author for $10.
Paying the remaining $15 to the author for a total of $25 in
author payments registers an evaluation copy of SMS. $90 yearly
subscription provides four quarterly issues of SMS at a savings
of $10 per year over the individual issue price.
Also refer to offer below for reimbursement of postage expenses
for incorrect addresses/returned mail. Reimbursement claim form
MUST first be validated to honor request for reimbursement.
You may print the following registration/claim form on paper by
using the print registration option of the main menu. Or you
may copy it by hand if you prefer.

FOR STARVING SHAREWARE AUTHORS. Send TWO blank disks, POSTPAID,
PRESTAMPED disk mailer with your address and sample of your
program (so I know you are a shareware author). I will put SMS on
the two blank disks. You will receive an UNREGISTERED, latest
copy of SMS. One poverty option per author per lifetime! Register
when you can afford to. If you forget the mailer, stamps, sample
of your program or blank diskettes: NO SMS! I expect you to
EVENTUALLY register the copy which I send you. Consider it a
loan on your end and an investment on my end. Remember I was
kind to you when you write your last will and testament. <grin>

PART TWO OF TWO: R E I M B U R S E M E N T
Reimbursement of postage in case of undeliverable addresses
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
This is an OPTIONAL form. Please read EXPLANTATION and TERMS at
the end of this form. You may use this form or decline to use it.
Today's date:
Approximately how many items do you plan to mail using the
database list?
Seattle Scientific Photography validation stamp and date
validated:
DO NOT WRITE HERE! WE WILL VALIDATE
EXPLANATION OF THIS FORM:
I frequently remove and update undeliverable addresses from the
mailing list database. One way I do this ON A RANDOM SPOT CHECK
BASIS is to reimburse shareware authors for mail which is
returned as undeliverable. This helps keep the database addresses
correct and reimburses registered users for wasted postage.
Here is how it works. When I receive your registration form,
registration fee and the claim form which appears above, I will
make a decision ON A RANDOM SPOT CHECK BASIS whether to validate
this claim form and return it to you (you remain a registered
user, of course.) In other words, Seattle Scientific
Photography, the author of this software, MAY OR MAY NOT, AT OUR
EXCLUSIVE OPTION validate the claim form and return it to you.
The reason why I do not validate every claim form is that I need
only SPOT CHECKS of mailing list accuracy NOT mailing address
corrections from EVERY user of the the mailing list database. It
would make little sense to have 500 registered users of this
software all reporting the same two bad addresses when four or
five people could reliably and affordably provide the same job.
TERMS:
If you mail Seattle Scientific Photgraphy the ORIGINAL envelope
face with attached mailing label and US postal "address
undeliverable" stamp for any undeliverable envelopes or disk
mailers returned to you whose original destination address was
derived from the $hareware Marketing $ystem, I will pay to you
50 cents per undeliverable item. I only do this with a FEW
shareware authors on a random spot check basis. This offer is
valid for only 90 days from validation date on the claim form.
The claim form must accompany request for reimbursement. You
must be a shareware author. The original claim form must be
returned with undeliverable proofs (faces of envelopes or disk
mailers.) Limited only to paid/registered users. The form must
have OFFICIAL VALIDATION and date and be returned to us with your
claim for reimbursement. If a mailing address in the database
includes the name of a person in addition to company
name/computer club name, you must use the person's name AND
company name/club name on the face of labels you mail. Limit of
one claim per user per year.
