The most popular method of payment has become the Online Registration form. You must have a credit card to make use of this service. Just choose Register Online from the Help Menu in Web Confidential or from the Web Confidential shared icon menu in your Web Browser or type this URL in the location field of your Web Browser:
<http://order.kagi.com/?AB>
If you want to pay cash, send $25 (or 50 DM, 150 FF, 15 £, 35 SF, or 50 FL) in an envelop to Alco Blom. The postal address is given in the section "Contacting the author" below.
If you want to pay by credit card or check, but not want to use the Online Registration form, read the next paragraphs.
Paying for Web Confidential is fairly simple. Open the Register program that accompanies Web Confidential. Enter your name, your email address, and the number of single user licenses you desire for each program you wish to purchase (or Site or Word-Wide licenses). Save or Copy or Print the data from the Register program and send the data and payment to Kagi Sales. More specifics on the Register program follow.
If paying with Credit Card or First Virtual, you can email or fax the data to Kagi. Their email address is <sales@kagi.com> and their fax number is +1 510 652-6589. You can either Copy the data from Register and paste into the body of an email message or you can Save the data to a file and you can attach that file to an email message. There is no need to compress the data file, it's already pretty small. If you have a fax modem, just Print the data to the Kagi fax number.
Payments sent via email are processed within 3 to 4 days. You will receive an email acknowledgement when it is processed. Payments sent via fax take up to 10 days and if you provide a correct internet email address you will receive an email acknowledgement.
If you are paying with USD Cash or USD Check you should print the data using the Register application and send it to the address shown on the form, which is:
Kagi
1442-A Walnut Street #392-AB
Berkeley, California 94709-1405
USA
You can pay with a wide variety of cash from different countries but at present if you pay via check, it must be a check drawn in US Dollars. Kagi cannot accept checks in other currencies, the conversion rate for non-USD checks is around USD 15 per check and that is just not practical.
If you have a purchasing department, you can enter all the data into the Register program and then select Invoice as your payment method. Print three copies of the form and send it to your accounts payable people. You might want to highlight the line that mentions that they must include a copy of the form with their payment.
Kagi can not invoice your company, you need to act on my behalf and generate the invoice and handle all the paperwork on your end.
Payments send via postal mail take time to reach Kagi and then up to 10 days for processing. Again, if you include a correct email address, you will hear from Kagi when the form is processed.
Protection Web Confidential has a protection scheme and when you pay, we tell you how to indicate to Web Confidential that you have paid. If you do not have an email address, please enter your complete postal address and please remember, we do not know what country you live in so please enter that into the postal address also.
Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances including negligence, shall Alco Blom be liable for any incidental, special or consequential damages that result from the use or inability to use Web Confidential, even if Alco Blom has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
