- RACKWARE VENDORS
-
- MVP Software has a new policy on shareware rack vending. Beginning immediately
- no MVP Software shareware product may be sold on shareware racks in any retail
- location without prior written approval from MVP Software. This policy affects
- Sand Storm, plus all other MVP products. Many of our shareware products are
- also sold in retail locations. We do not want our shareware products to under-
- mine these sales. Thanks for your understanding.
-
- All MVP shareware products may be sold via catalogs, mail order, telephone
- orders, flea markets, computer clubs, and any other method that does not
- involve sales in retail locations.
-
- We will give permission to rack vendors to sell our products in retail
- locations only if the following conditions are met: (1) The vendor must pay
- MVP Software a royalty on all copies sold in retail locations. This does not
- include any other type of shareware sales. Suggested royalty is 10 cents per
- copy sold. (2) The vendor must provide reports to MVP Software not less than
- quarterly of all rack sales minus returns. (3) The vendor must include a one-
- page flyer provided by MVP Software in all packages of MVP products sold on
- shareware racks. The size of the flyer may be determined by the vendor so
- that it fits properly in the package.
-
- Rack vendors meeting the above three conditions must still receive written
- authorization from MVP Software to distribute our products on shareware racks.
- Permission may not be given in all cases; the decision will be on a case-by-
- case basis, and we usually will want to inspect the packaging before granting
- distribution permission.
-
- I apologize to those rack vendors to whom these requirements seem onerous.
- However, this is the only way we can control how our products get distributed
- to make sure we have both a return on our investment and a reasonable chance
- at getting a registration. All three Hoosier City volumes are sold as retail
- software as well as shareware. Unfortunately shareware sold in retail
- locations undermines the sale of the retail versions. This is the sole reason
- why we must restrict the number of shareware copies sold in retail locations.
-
- We really appreciate the distribution that vendors give us. And we will con-
- tinue to work with vendors to make both of our businesses prosper. Thanks for
- your understanding of why this step is necessary.
-
- And just to be clear: the above requirements do NOT apply to catalog sales.
