This file explains about the shareware registration for Becky!.

Becky! is a shareware: distribution and trial are free of charge.
If you want to continue to use this software, please pay for it.
Trial period is up to 30 days.

* If you register ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- You will not see the shareware notification dialog any more.

- You will be notified the major version up of Becky! via E-mail.

- You will be qualified to upgrade Becky! without any additional fee
  when new version is released.

- You will receive the information on the other products, both free
  software and shareware, of RIM-Arts.

* Check before the registration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- You MUST have an E-mail address.

  Without an E-mail address, you will not receive a registration pass code.
  "E-mail address" here means one which can receive Internet mail.
  If you are a member of a network service which provides Internet mail
  address, your E-mail address would be

     YOURID@blahblah.net
     YOURID@blahblah.com
     ...


- Please make sure Becky! works fine on your machine.

  Becky! is programmed to work with most of machines. But sometimes it
  might not work well for some reasons; the problem of your modem driver,
  mail server's implementation of your Internet provider, some conflict with
  your system environment, etc.
  PLEASE MAKE SURE BECKY! WORKS FINE ON YOUR MACHINE AND WITH YOUR INTERNET
  PROVIDER BEFORE YOU SEND MONEY.
  Of course, we will do the best to fix the problem if you report to us.
  But your registration is not refundable in any way.

- You MUST have one of the payment methods which are supported by Kagi
  Software.

  Credit Card: Visa, Mastercard, American Express.
  US-Check or Money Order
  Cash (It is not a good idea because of the security reason and sending
        cash is prohibited in some country's law.)
  First Virtual: see http://www.fv.com
  Invoice

* Price
~~~~~~~~
 40 US$ for one license.

* Volume discount.
Volume discount will be applied according to the number of licenses.
***********************************************************************
Please read below carefully if you want to purchase multiple licenses.
Once your payment is processed, it is not refundable even if you specified
inappropriate number of licenses.
***********************************************************************

minimum number  unit price(US$)
        5       35
       10       30
       15       25
       20       20
       40       15
       60       12
       80       11
      100       10
      200        9
      300        8
     1000        5

For example, the price for 20 licenses is 20$ * 20 = $400,
for 40 licenses is 15$ * 40 = $600.
***********************************************************************
Therefore, if you want 18 licenses, it is not a good idea to purchase
exactly 18. Because 18 is greater than 15 but less than 20, so
$25 unit price is applied. It is paradoxical but total amount
is $450 which is more expensive than $400 for 20 licenses!
Selecting the minimum number is most reasonable for price.
