Donation Policy
To make sure you understand our donation concept correctly, I've written this
policy.
Goods/services offered: Donations are voluntary payments to support my
work on www.butkus.org/chinon or
www.orphancameras.com. This include my costs to purchase the manuals, postage,
web site costs, and sometimes hardware or software. You should receive an
E-mail reply to any PayPal or U.S. Letter with a donation. If with a
letter, I must be able to read the E-mail address. I have many E-mail
address that bounce back no matter how I try to spell the address. I do not
send, print or burn to a CD any copies of the manuals I have posted. If
you
happen to inform me you have a problem downloading the manual, and some overseas
users have reported problems, I will try to fix the problem or E-mail you the file. So there
is nothing physical I actually ship to anyone.
Service: I try to support everyone, whether they have donated or not. If
you are looking for support, please E-mail me. I am a one person operation
and do not have the ability to spend hours searching for a solution to a
specific problem.
Currencies: Using PayPal we currently support U.S. Dollars, Canadian
Dollars, European Euros, British Pounds. The link on the page should
bring you directly to PayPal.com. You should see the familiar login and
HTTPS (secure site) in the address.
Taxes: Even though I use the word donation, like many other
software developers or Web Sites who offer their work basically for free,
donations are not tax-deductible as we are not an IRS qualified 501c3
organization.
