Terms and Conditions constituting "Acceptable Use"

You may use this web site to obtain information about SonLight Software's products, to download the latest versions thereof, and to communicate with SonLight Software and the New Yanoff team.  Any other use is prohibited without the express written consent of SonLight Software.

Distribution Policy

For now, we desire to STRICTLY control the distribution of Yanoff+ and all of its related files. Making any of its software files (or any subset thereof) available anywhere else (online or not) without the prior written permission of SonLight Software is prohibited! On the contrary, however, we strongly encourage the far and wide distribution of Yanoff- (the files that begin with "yff_*") via any and every means and media possible. We insist only that the files not be modified in any way and remain exactly as they were when you downloaded them from the download page.

Support Policy

SonLight Software will provide technical support to registered customers of Yanoff+ for a period of one year from the date of purchase, free of charge.  SonLight Software may choose at its own discretion to offer free support to non-registered users and registered customers who have expired from the one year free support window.  All technical support wil be via email; Sonlight Software makes no commitment to support any user via any other means (e.g. via telephone).

Refund Policy

New Yanoff can be downloaded and evaluated for FREE from this web site.  We encourage all users to thoroughly trial this product before purchasing.  Sonlight Software DOES NOT OFFER REFUNDS.

The only exception is if you have ordered more than one license by mistake, intending only to order one (AKA "double-billing").

Upgrade Policy

Which upgrades are free and which are not?

Version Numbers are the key!

We use a simple decimal system to label each release of Yanoff+.

The number to the left of the first decimal indicates a major upgrade.

In contrast, the numbers to the right of the first decimal indicate a minor upgrade. There is no specific significance when a third number appears to the right of a second decimal (e.g. 2.1.34 vs. 2.1).

Minor Upgrades

Licensed Yanoff+ customers are unconditionally entitled to free minor upgrades for the major version that they purchased.

For example, anyone who purchases Yanoff+ 2.0 is entitled to all minor upgrades in the 2.x.y release stream (where 'x' and 'y' are any number; from now denoted as "2.*.*").  This is not just for a purchase of 2.0; any 2.*.* purchase entitles the licensee to any later 2.*.* minor upgrade at not additional cost.

 

Major Upgrades

Registered users of any major release are entitled to a reduced-cost upgrade to the next greater major release.  For example, if you register Yanoff+ 2.*.*, you will be entitled to a reduced-cost upgrade to Yanoff+ 3.*.* but not to any higher release (such as 4.*.*) unless you had upgraded to 3.*.* before 4.*.* was released.  In other words, if you want to retain your entitlement to the reduced-cost upgrades, you MUST remain current with every new release.  Once you fall a release (or more) behind, you must pay full price to "catch up" to the latest release to regain your entitlement.  This software is so excellent, though, you'd have to be CRAZY not to upgrade your license immediately with every new release!

Once you've paid the upgrade fee, you are entitled to free minor upgrades for that major release stream the same as if it had been an original registration of the major release. For example, if you pay the upgrade fee for Yanoff+ 3.*.* (after having previously registered Yanoff+ 2.*.*), you will be entitled to all minor upgrades in the 3.*.* release stream.

 

What If I Purchase Right Before a Major Upgrade?

We offer a free upgrade to any customers who purchase a license within 30 days of the release of a major upgrade and who also contact us within 90 days of their purchase to claim this offer.
