BEFORE YOU PURCHASE, UNDERSTAND THE REQUIREMENTS
Do you tune out while your eyes "glaze over" at information written in technical languages or math? You are not alone. Most of us don't like to change from using the portion of our brains that read text to the parts of our brains required for greater concentration, for learning new information in a way that can be put to use or for analysis of unfamiliar symbolic languages, like math or computer code. All of our web tools are made in FLASH. At least one file in your purchase will end in .swf. This little file will be uploaded to your web site using our instructions. Some of you have web masters and can ask them to place the tool in a specific location. Some of you use templated web hosting services. Please go to the administrative portion of your hosting site or your web master and make certain that they can accomodate the types of files used for these tools; .swf, .jpeg or .jpg, .xml, .txt and .flv for video. All of the other files you download after a purchase will be images (ending in .jpeg or .jpg), video (ending in .flv), or text files ending in .xml or .txt. The new tool and the image folder(s) will be placed at your web site. Changes can be made by simply changing the text files and putting the right lable on each of your pictures or videos. Our instructions will help you to do that. Your method for actually placing the tools and files at your web site is up to you to determine prior to purchase. We offer assistance on a fee basis. See our rates for each tool. PURCHASING OUR WEB TOOLS and MEDIA All of our tools are tested to assure that when the easy-to-understand instructions are carefully followed, anyone can install and use the web widgets and video . For certain products we recommend that you contact your web master or host administrator regarding installation or purchase those services separately from us. For media products we make our services available to assist your production efforts. We offer FREE downloads of web widgets tools for web sites and blogs that accept Flash formats. 99% of all browsers and computers come equipped to view Flash files, so the maximum number of viewers can see the tools and videos purchased from us. We provide links to new flash viewers and instructions for using these links at your web site or blog.We accept all forms of payment through PayPal. Our web widgets and video tools are preloaded with our proprietary assets and use rights released third party assets for viewing at this site. These digital assets do not come with your purchase. You are sent blank image substitutes for photos or videos with instructions for sizing and placing your own images or videos within these tools. You can contact us for more information on purchasing the digital assets shown at this site to demonstrate the use of tools. Prior to purchasing our web tools, web widgets, media, designs, stock video or services, please read the policy , terms and purchase agreement portion of our company site. Most of our tools are non-refundable purchases.
