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being added, outdated programs deleted, etc.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.
To contact PsL about problems, call 713-524-6394 or write to PsL, P.O.Box
