Optional Software Support
- 6 months: $562.50, Yearly $937.50 Due in advance. If you pay for 10 months
in advance you get the 11th and 12th months at no charge. (there is no discount
on the monthly fee for the first 10 months). After your support is active, you
may continue month to month ($93.75).
- Includes an average number of telephone support calls as well as email and
fax support. The average number of support calls is calculated over a number
of months for all customers. If you call more than the "average", you
will receive a 30 day notice of a change in your monthly support fee.

- An 800 number is provided to pre-paid software support clients (only):
(800) 274-4868
- If we have your credit card information on file, you authorize automatic
pay, and you pay for 10 months in advance, you get the 11th and 12th months
at no charge.
- If you require any files or data and you cannot download them, we can provide
them on CD for about $2.00 (plus tax in Ca). Although this may sound ridiculous,
if you are in California and you receive a CD or anything 'tangible' the state
of California rules are interpreted by our auditor to cause the software support
to be taxable for that month. (?) That's right! If you receive (and pay tax
on) a $2 CD disk shipment you will be taxed on the $93.75 support fee for that
month. (don't ask us to make any sense of this) They link the two unrelated
charges (to raise more taxes for their mis-management of your taxes) If you
think this is as absurd as we do, contact your congressman and vote accordingly.
California needs a new group of representatives and governor. If you download
or receive files by email attachment or you are not in California, this does
not apply to you (at least not yet). We advise you to get email and a high speed
Internet connection. There is no telling what California will dream up next
to squeeze more money out of the taxpayers.
- Software maintenance does not include updates or upgrades to the software.
For example, if you now have the dos version there is a charge to update to
the windows version. To upgrade from the DOS version to the Windows version,
you must have active support.
- If you are not now subscribing to software support, there is a minimum startup
of 6 months or $562.50 and then if you continue, we will automatically bill
your credit card $93.75 per month if that is what you want.
If you subscribe to support
- You will have software maintenance fixes to the software available at least
quarterly, more often as necessary. Mailed software hot fixes are available on
CD only. (see notes above about the taxes)
- You may get any necessary software fixes by Internet download any time, day
or night at no additional charge.
- Certain special software maintenance fixes may be emailed to you if you can
accept files that way.

without notice.
