For this reason, a special online registration price will be available on CompuServe through January 15, 1996, for early registrations. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Simply "GO SWREG" and order -- the online cost (through January 15, 1996) has been adjusted to reflect this special discount. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 March 1, 1996, and prior to sale of the first one-hundred thousand (100,000) copies (which shall include each individual or multiple use copy licensed) sold subsequent to the official release date of this version of the product. You will be notified by return mail if your order was not timely received. -------------------------------------------------------------------- INFORMATION, QUANTITY DISCOUNTS AND ORDER FORMS -------------------------------------------------------------------- Information on ordering, quantity (multi-useer/copies) discounts, and licensing, together with order forms, can be found in the product Users' Guide, which is formatted for viewing and printing with either Windows95 WordPad or Windows Write, and in the online help file, which provides a simple means of printing a formatted order form directly from within the help file. Just fill in the discount line as instructed above, if you register before any applicable 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 any available 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.
