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 by credit card or check, but not want to use the Online Registration form, read the next paragraphs.
Paying for Web Confidential for Palm is fairly simple. Open the Register program that accompanies Web Confidential for Palm. Enter your name, your e-mail address, and your handheld user id (see the section "Handheld User ID" above). For Site or Word-Wide licenses contact the authors. 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 E-mail or fax the data to Kagi. Their E-mail 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 E-mail message or you can save the data to a file and you can attach that file to an E-mail 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 e-mail are processed within 3 to 4 days. You will receive an E-mail acknowledgement when it is processed. Payments sent via fax take up to 10 days and if you provide a correct internet e-mail address you will receive an e-mail 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 e-mail address, you will hear from Kagi when the form is processed.
If you wish you can order through the Palm OS software sites PalmGear or Tucows. At PalmGear you can also order by phone 817.640.6558, and fax 817.640.6614.
Web Confidential for Palm has a protection scheme and when you pay, we tell you how to indicate to Web Confidential for Palm that you have paid. If you do not have an E-mail 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.
