Even if you "do not get round to paying" please
email us
to let us know that you are using HelpIndex and give us feedback.
Evaluation Licence
HelpIndex version 1.7.1 and MakeHelpIndex are available for evaluation purposes only
for free for 30 days.
There is no lock-out mechanism after this period.
Note that the evaluation HelpIndex only has an Index form and
is deliberately limited to displaying
a maximum of 500 indices and a maximum of 100 URLs.
This will in fact be big enough for a lot of sites.
The full version of the software has no limits.
By downloading the software, you are accepting a licence to evaluate HelpIndex for 30 days. Paying for the full software gives a further licence to use unlimited HelpIndex for 12 months.
From the date that you receive the development kit, you have 30 days free trial. When the 30 days are up, please pay for the full version or remove HelpIndex from your system and web pages. If you pay before 30 days, then your free trial is deemed to have ended.
Note that people who use your site do not have to pay to use HelpIndex.
If people can download all your site then they will have to license HelpIndex after 30 days.

For sales to the United Kingdom, the prices include VAT at 17.5%.
If you are in the European Union and are VAT registered then please tell us
your VAT number, and we will bill you the amount above without any VAT.
Sales outside the EU have no sales tax, ie the amount above.
Different sales tax rules may apply for our outlets.
Purchase Benefits
We will deliver by email the unlimited version of HelpIndex. We will post you a formal invoice if you ask.
Currently we cannot handle on-line transactions safely here, so please contact PHD directly or one of our outlets. We should have on-line credit card ordering (in USA) available soon from WebWare Online.
If possible, please send cheques in pounds sterling.
For cheques drawn on non-UK banks,
please add £30, convert it to your local currency,
and send us a cheque for that amount.
Or send us an International Money Order.
Or send us sterling cash if you really must; it's your risk.
Our other outlets accept credit card payments.
You can have a full refund, less currency transaction costs,
if you have a legitimate problem with the software within 30 days of purchase.
However we do not envisage this option being used often,
as you will have had a chance to try before you buy.
Paying more for more!
Please feel free to make larger payments
if you are especially pleased with HelpIndex
Seriously though, if you have any features which you would definitely like in HelpIndex,
then please email Chris Cant.
Please consult our list of possible improvements
If your suggestions are used, then you might like to pay us more
for having been so helpful,
ie perhaps you could pay for more licences than you actually need.
If we do not wish to take up your suggestions then we could still produce
a version with them in, if you pay us at our normal daily rate.
We will normally be able to give a fixed price quote for such a job.
You would have sole use of the new version but all copyright would belong to us.
You would still need to license each usage with us.
Note that such versions would not necessarily be updated in step with
the main HelpIndex program.
Distribution
You may distribute the full unaltered evaluation development kit
PHDhi171.zip.
The evaluation development kit includes the run-time files and all this
web page documentation.
You must make clear that HelpIndex has a 30 day free evaluation period and belongs to PHD Computer Consultants Ltd. You must also email Chris Cant to let him know where you have put the kit. We want to be able to update development kits when new versions appear, so let us know how we do this.
However we recommend that you simply give the HelpIndex URL http://www.phdcc.com/helpindex as our web site will always have the latest version of the software.
If you publish a link to these pages, then please let us know.
If the site moves or changes significantly then we will inform you.
Reselling
Contact us if you would like to resell HelpIndex or any other PHD product.
For example you may wish to add HelpIndex to your product line, or bundle HelpIndex as a part of a product.
If you include a working version of HelpIndex as an index to a product,
eg on a CD-ROM, then you must also contact us.
In this case you would normally pay for a lower fee for each CD-ROM
that you distribute; the CD-ROM user would then not be required to purchase HelpIndex.
