## How to register

More comprehensive instructions can be found on the Kagi Web site. Anyway, I'd like you to read the following notes which are specific to BOOM and its author, Federico Filipponi.

### How to use the “Register BOOM” application

Dear potential user,

if you intend to pay the Shareware fee for BOOM (thank you!) you can use the “Register BOOM” application included in the package.
To launch it, start the game application and click on the “Register...” button in the Shareware reminder dialog and then on the “Launch Register...” button in the registration dialog (you can also select the “Register...” command from the application menu).

Be sure to properly fill in all the fields in the form.
To avoid possible mistakes or misinterpretations enter your name using the right capitalization.

For example:
John Smith (correct)
JOHN SMITH, john smith, johnsmith, jsmith (not recommended)

Keep in mind that your name will be used to generate your personal registration code, so avoid including company names, titles or other confusing denominations.
If your name contains special characters which are difficult to reproduce or can be lost when sent through the Internet, please avoid using them if possible.

If you prefer using a nickname, remember to also include your real name in the address field, in case I have to send your registration code by postal mail.

In this case pay also great attention when entering your postal address.
Use the right capitalization, try to correctly separate the various parts of the address (street, zip-city, state-county, country) and, most important of all, don't omit any part of your address. Always specify your country and the zip code.
Please note that I live in Italy and, despite my experience with international correspondence, I might not recognize an address if you don't specify the country (i.e., if you live in the States, always specify USA at the end of your address).

You should also specify how many Copies/Licences you are paying for or whether you intend to pay for a Site or a World-Wide license. Enter the number of Copies/Licences in the first field under the program's name or check the box relative to the Site or to the World-Wide licence.
Always keep an eye on the amount shown as “Subtotal:” in the low-right corner of the window, above the buttons.
If you think that the program you are paying for (BOOM in this case) deserves an extra reward you can always fill in the Bonus field. Donations are always welcome ;-)

Finally, you have to choose your payment method.
Select your preference from the pop-up menu in the “Payment Details:” box and eventually provide the required extra information (currency type, Card number or FV account ID).

Note: if you check the “Postcard Receipt:” box an extra US$1.50 will be automatically added to your total. This tells Kagi that you want your registration to be acknowledged by postal mail. Use this option only if you cannot provide Kagi with a vaild e-mail address.

When you've finished filling in the form you can print it (for mail of fax usage) or save it to a file (for sending it via e-mail).
In both cases please check the form for possible mistakes.

### General guidelines

I usually don't read messages included in registration forms. If you have something to tell me please contact me separately using my e-mail address (fedefil@factor-software.com). I reply only to e-mail messages so don't waste your time and money with postal mail or faxes.

Sometimes (well, often) I receive registrations from users with faulty or bouncy e-mail addresses. In such cases my policy is to wait for the “angry customer” to call in for complaining. There were also cases in which a letter containing a registration code failed to reach the user for some reason. Should this happen, there's nothing I can do about it.
So, if you already sent money for BOOM and never received a reply, please contact me as soon as you can for your registration code. Your registration has not been lost.

Thank you.
