Such users may use their current registration codes with this shareware, evaluation release. They will receive new codes, and upgrade disks by mail. The final registered production version will begin shipping on or about July 15, 1994. As always, we wish to thank our users for their continued support. SPECIAL LIMITED TIME DISCOUNTS ON ZIP NAVIGATOR (ZipNAV) REGISTRATION AND LICENSE FEES (EXPIRES ON OR BEFORE SEPTEMBER 1, 1994) ===================================================================== You are granted a limited thirty (30) day, evaluation license for the purpose of trying out this shareware product. FlashPoint Windows Zip Navigator (ZipNAV) is distributed through shareware channels for the ultimate purpose of sale. Therefore, you must register and license the suite of applications, if you intend to use them beyond the thirty (30) day evaluation period. SPECIAL "EARLY" REGISTRATION DISCOUNT ------------------------------------- To encourage registration of this, the first release of FlashPoint Windows Zip Navigator (ZipNAV), purchasers of the the first ten-thousand (10,000) copies of the product, who registers or purchases a licensed version before September 1, 1994, will be given a twenty percent (20%) discount off the total license fees. This twenty percent (20%) applies only to the "license fees" and not any additional charges, such as media costs or sales taxes. Furthermore, it applies only to direct orders from FlashPoint Development, and not to any orders placed through third-parties, e.g., CompuServe Online Registration Service. The discount amount is calculated, for both Individual Use (Per Copy) and Multiple Use (Site) licenses, by multiplying the percentage discount times the applicable license fee (after allowing for any applicable quantity discounts), and placing same in the appropriate blocks of the official FlashPoint order forms. The "Less Discount" blank on the order form must be completed by inserting the word "EARLY" and the twenty percent (20%) discount and amount in the blank spaces provided. No discounts will be allowed if the official order form is not fully completed and returned to FlashPoint. This discount applies only to orders physically "received" by September 1, 1994, and prior to sale of the first ten-thousand (10,000) copies (which shall include each individual or multiple use copy licensed). You will be notified by return mail if your order was not timely received. Information on ordering and licensing, together with order forms, can be found in the Shareware/Evaluation Users' Guide (FPZIP.WRI), which is formatted for viewing and printing with Windows Write, and in the online help file (FPZIP.HLP), which provides a printer icon for printing a formatted order form directly from within the help file. Just fill in the discount line as instructed above, if you register before the deadline. SPECIAL "COMPETITIVE" UPGRADE DISCOUNT -------------------------------------- To encourage users to make the switch from competitive products, whether DOS or Windows versions, purchasers who indicate that they are upgrading from a competitive product and the name of that product, in response to the question appearing on the FlashPoint order form, will be given an additional ten percent (10%) discount off the total license fees. This ten percent (10%) applies only to the "license fees" and not any additional charges, such as media costs or sales taxes. Furthermore, it applies only to direct orders from FlashPoint Development, and not to any orders placed through third-parties, e.g., CompuServe Online Registration Service. The discount amount is calculated, for both Individual Use (Per Copy) and Multiple Use (Site) licenses, by multiplying the percentage discount times the applicable license fee (after allowing for any applicable quantity discounts), and placing same in the appropriate blocks of the official FlashPoint order forms. The "Less Discount" blank on the order form must be completed by inserting the word "COMPETITIVE" and the ten percent (10%) discount and amount in the blank spaces provided. Please note that we do not require proof of registration of a competing product -- we trust our users, after all that is what shareware is all about. We do, however, require that the user comply fully with the above instructions on completing the official order form, in order to qualify for this discount. No discounts will be allowed if the official order form is not fully completed and returned to FlashPoint. This discount applies only to orders physically "received" by December 31, 1994, and prior to sale of the first one-hundred thousand (100,000) copies (which shall include each individual or multiple use copy licensed). You will be notified by return mail if your order was not timely received. Information on ordering and licensing, together with order forms, can be found in the Shareware/Evaluation Users' Guide (FPZIP.WRI), which is formatted for viewing and printing with Windows Write, and in the online help file (FPZIP.HLP), which provides a printer icon for printing a formatted order form directly from within the help file. Just fill in the discount line as instructed above, if you register before the deadline. TOTAL SPECIAL DISCOUNTS PERMITTED --------------------------------- The aggregate total of all "special" discounts may not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the total license fees due. Therefore, you are permitted to take both the "EARLY" (20%) and "COMPETITIVE" (10%) discounts, but you may not take any additional "special" discounts, which may be from time to time offered by FlashPoint. "Special" discounts do not include the "Quantity" discounts provided for in the documentation and online help file.
