If you like Screen Saver Construction Set and you find it useful, you are requested to register it. The current registration fee is $30.00 - plus $5.00 shipping if you'd like the latest version sent to you on CD-ROM. This will entitle you to telephone support, notification of updates, a free copy of the latest version of this software and other worthwhile things. It will also avail you of a registration number to shut off the closing beg notice. More to the point, though, it'll make you feel good. We've not infested Screen Saver Construction Set with excessive beg notices, crippled it or had it verbally insult you after ten days. We trust you to support this software if you like it.

When you register Screen Saver Construction Set, you will be e-mailed your registration code as soon as your order is processed. Enter your code into a downloaded copy of Screen Saver Construction Set and it will become a registered copy, identical to what you would receive on CD-ROM. If you want to save the $5.00 shipping fee, select the NO SHIPPING option when you order. Note that absolutely nothing is shipped for NO SHIPPING orders - not even a receipt.

If you want to see additional features in Screen Saver Construction Set, register it. If we had an Arcturian mega-dollar for everyone who has said they'd most certainly register their copy if we'd add just one more thing to it, we could buy ourselves a universe and retire.

Please use the order form included with this software.

If you're paying by a cheque drawn on a bank outside North America, please be sure to make your cheque payable in US dollars. Your cheque must have the address of a North American clearing office and a bank transit number printed on it. Please do not send us Eurocheques - they cannot be cleared outside Europe.

Note that when you send us your order - and then when we send you your software - two distinct post offices get to deal with the ensuing mail. It can take a few weeks for things to get through this system - we ask that you be patient. We don't fully understand why it takes less time for a package to get to Australia than it does to send one to Cleveland. Some things are best left as mysteries.

Update Policy

Having registered Screen Saver Construction Set, you're welcome to download the current shareware version whenever you like and install it.

All the 2.0 series releases of Screen Saver Construction Set are free downloadable upgrades for registered users of the Screen Saver Construction Set software.

Contacting Alchemy Mindworks

The best way to get in touch with us is by e-mail to alchemy@mindworkshop.com. Except in conditions of flood, famine or mental-health days, our e-mail is answered within a few hours.

Technical support and customer service are available at 1-905-936-9501, 10:00am to 5:00pm EST most business days. If you encounter our answering machine - it does happen occasionally - please try back later. One of the considerations in offering very low cost software is that we are unable to return calls for technical support.

If you are an unregistered user of this software, we will at our discretion assist you to the extent required for you to ascertain whether this software is suitable for your application.

Callers who are rude, abusive or pig-headed with our technical support staff will wind up as demon-chow.

Please do not call our 800 number for technical support. The people who answer our sales line can put a credit card machine into warp drive, but they know less about software than most cats know about quantum mechanics. They are unable to transfer your call.

Our FAX number is 1-905-936-9502.

The fabled Alchemy Mindworks BBS - poor, barnacle-encrusted antique that it was - has finally bit the dust. Alchemy Mindworks no longer maintains a BBS.

We ask that in contacting us you appreciate that we are a small company with limited resources. If you have not registered this software we will not tell you to go to hell, but please don't ask us for half an hour of free technical support. We have not built the price of technical support into the cost of Screen Saver Construction Set, as few users require it. We believe very strongly in not making everyone pay for something that only a small group needs. If our various governments felt the same way, our various economies wouldn't be in the midst of melting down.
