- How we do business:
-
- Kagi Software does business via email . We receive postal mail, email,
- faxes and phone calls, and process registration payments. Kagi Software
- processes software product payments for several hundred authors and their
- programs. We need for you to use the Register program that came with you
- program since most of the payment processing is automated to keep costs
- low and frees us help you when you need it.
-
-
- How we can respond to you:
-
- After processing we will send all registered users an email that will give
- you more information about Kagi Software and your program. Email and fax
- registrations will be sent an acknowledgement that we received your
- registration request. Because of the low percentage that Kagi Software
- charges for payment processing we will not respond with a phone call,
- unless you have an "800" number or receive collect calls, and we do not
- send faxes. The only mail that we send is postcard receipts that have been
- paid for. Kagi Software is NOT a software publisher and does not ship any
- product or return anything sent on disks. Kagi Software does not provide
- technical support for any of the other programs they handle.
-
-
- For technical support:
-
- Contact the authors of the individual programs. Author's email address is
- <mokry@kagi.com>. The email address of the author should also be on the
- copy of the registration form that you send us, so save a copy for
- yourself.
-
-
- How to get help from us if you need it:
-
- If you do not get a response from your registration request in a
- reasonable amount of time, email four days, faxes six days, postal mail a
- few weeks, please send the message below to us with the information
- entered. This way we can help you as quickly as possible:
-
-
- We need this data:
-
- Anything that you can provide us with would be helpful, such as when and
- how you sent your payment and any previous email messages sent. Please
- tell us exactly what you want us to do/send to you.
-
- Payment-method: Card , Check and check #, cash invoice or First Virtual
- Register-to: Registrants name
- Time/Invoice: if original had this number
- Email: email address
- Addr: If used
- Card-name: card holder's name
- Credit-card#: credit card number

-
-
- The "Register" Application.
-
- Your copy of "ExLife" should come with a small program called "Register",
- which you use to create a personalized registration form to send to Kagi
- Software. If you do not have the "Register" application, you should
- download it from http://www.mokry.cz/shareware/registration.htm.
-
- It is vital that you use the registration program since payments sent
- without the registration form it generates can be delayed or lost.
- Included in this file are five other files, Purchase Order instructions,
- Email instructions, Fax instructions, and Postal mail instructions that
- are simple step-by-step instructions to help you. The other file is Common
- Mistakes . Please read the ones that you think apply to you, especially if
- you are going to skip the rest of this.
-
- When you launch the Register program, a window appears asking for all the
- necessary information. If you have previously registered a program through
- Kagi Software your personal information will appear, double check to see
- that it is right.
-
- You must provide a postal address, a US$1.00 extra charge, or an email
- address, so that we can contact you. Please note that we do not reply by
- FAX.
-
- * Type your name, postal address, and e-mail address in the corresponding
- boxes at the top of the window.
-
- * If you have no email address enter "none".
-
- **** Special Note: If you do not have an e-mail address, you must check
- the "Postcard Receipt" box (which automatically adds $1 to your charge) at
- the bottom right of the window. Otherwise, you will not receive any reply
- to your registration. You will be registered, but you will not have the
- codes. After the initial postcard receipt Kagi only replies via email.
-
- * Then, fill in the payment details at the bottom left of the window.
- Choose your method of payment from the pop up menu and complete the
- relevant information (credit card number, type of currency, etc.) below.
- Make checks payable to "Kagi Shareware." Checks must be in US Dollars
- only. Please write the program name on the check as well as your email
- address, if you have one. See Email, Fax and Postal instructions for
- more detail.
-
- * Note: Your credit card data is scrambled.Although this is not completely
- secure, we have never had a case of credit card fraud.
-
- * Note: Purchase Orders must include payment with the invoice. Please see
- the Purchase Order instructions file.
-
- * Next, indicate the programs you want to register in the middle of the
- window. Type the number of copies you want to register into the "Single
- User" box. In most cases you should just type "1". Do not type the
- purchase price into this box since the "Register" application computes the
- fee for you. The "Site" and "World-Wide" check boxes are intended for
- companies or organizations that want a license to use the software on all
- their machines. Double check this before you send in the form as you may
- be charged significantly more that you expect if you make a mistake.
-
- * If you feel that the program is worth more than the registration fee,
- you can add an optional bonus in the "Bonus US$" box.
-
- * Note: If the "Register" application lists more than three programs, and
- you can use the scroll bar at the right of the window to see the others.
-
- Once you have filled in all this required information, the Register
- program displays the total amount at the bottom right of the window.
- Double check the total!
-
- Choose one of these three items, see Email, Fax and Postal instructions
- for more detail.
-
- * Print... prints a hard copy of the registration form, which you can
- mail to Kagi Software with your payment to the address shown on the form.
-
- * Copy... puts a copy of the registration form on your clipboard for
- you to paste into an e-mail message to send to Kagi Software. This method
- works only with credit cards and First Virtual since it is not yet
- possible to email cash or checks.
-
- * Save... saves a copy of the registration to your hard disk as a
- SimpleText document for you to print out or e-mail later.
-
- Double check your registration request to see that all the information is
- correct, if not, correct it using the Register program. Do not edit the
- output produced by the Register program. The Kagi email and postal mail
- addresses are given on the registration form and above. Save a copy for
- yourself. We suggest printing it out. Note the author's email address.
-
-
- Kagi Software registration, how it works:
-
- After you register, Kagi Software automatically sends you an e-mail reply
- titled "Thanks for your registration". You should print and save this
- message as your receipt. You will also need it if you reinstall the
- program for any reason. If you checked the "Postcard Receipt" box in the
- Register program, Kagi will send you a postcard with this information.
- Again, if you do not have an e-mail address, you must request a "Postcard
- Receipt" since otherwise you will not receive any reply.
-
- It can take Kagi up to a week to process a registration from the date they
- receive it (please make sure to factor in the delivery time if you use
- postal mail). If you do not receive the "Thanks for your registration"
- e-mail message, contact Kagi at <support@kagi.com> or the postal address
- given on the registration form to ask about the status of your
- registration. See *We need this data: above. Keep in mind that some
- registrations can get lost in the mail on the way to Kagi. Please make
- sure to seal the envelope and write your email address on the check. Also,
- sometimes the e-mail reply gets lost as well (America Online is
- particularly unreliable when it comes to receiving e-mail from the
- internet). If you do not receive an email confirmation of your payment,
- contact us with the "*We need this data:" from above and ask what
- happened.
