- Terms of Support
- BCI Associates will actively support any _registered_ user of our products
- with either CompuServe email or telephone support. This does not, however,
- include troubleshooting your hardware and/or software problems not directly
- related to our products. If you need such support, BCI Associates offers
- that support as a separate chargeable item. Contact BCI Associates at the
- methods above if you desire this additional support.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Program Updates
-
- BCI Associates updates their products periodically to support new features
- and functions. When these updates occur, we post them on the CompuServe
- Information Service, and on the ZiffNet Information Service which can be
- accessed either thru CompuServe, or directly into ZiffNet. Users may go to
- a number of forums to download the software, or BCI Associates will email
- the update directly to them thru CompuServe Mail as a binary transfer.
-
- For those users obtaining BCI Associates products via bulletin boards, or
- in any non-CompuServe medium, we will mail the update for a nominal handling
- fee of $5.00 per update.
-
- Each registered user will recieve 2 updates in between major releases. The
- cost of these updates will be 30% of the original cost of the product plus
- any mailing fees, if required. When major new releases are issued, it is
- treated as if it was newly posted. The new fee would be announced at that
- time.
-
- Example: User registers SPTEST. Initial fee is $20; each of the 2 updates
- recieved would cost $6 (30% of the initial fee) plus any
- mailing costs.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
