| | | | Wondering about future upgrade privileges? | |
| | | | The following practices have been in place at Bytes of Learning for over 20 years: | |
| | | | | |
| | Always Protected: | | We set Version Upgrade Credits whenever we release new versions. It is our policy to offer every customer who purchases less than 6 months before a new release, a 100% credit of whatever the customer has paid. Equally generous offers are made for other customers who may have purchased recently. This way, no customer ever has to worry about losing out by buying our software prior to a new version release. | |
| | | | | |
| | Other Fine Print: | • | The net price for any Version Upgrade is a minimum of $25. | |
| • | Upgrade credits are available through resellers at the same amounts as are available through Bytes of Learning. | |
| • | Credits only apply for installations that are being replaced and upgraded. | |
| • | If the new license has a smaller scope than the original license, the credit is calculated in proportion to the new license scope. For example, a customer who replaces a site license with a 30-station license would get 50% of the applicable credit. | |
| • | If proof of purchase or a record of the old license is not available, a letter from the principal or other authority attesting to the former purchase suffices. The value of the credit will be calculated on the price published at the time the former software license was purchased. | |
| • | Shipping and handling charges are payable by the customer separately in all cases | |
| • | Where a District is upgrading and it is impractical to calculate the upgrade credits due to multiple purchases and other complicating factors, Bytes of Learning may provide a simplified Version Upgrade Credit based on a reasonable estimation of the purchases the District has made | |
