Handmade Software Incorporated

Year 2000 Statement

There has been concern recently about the impact of the year 2000 on computer systems because some applications and operating systems use two digits rather than four digits to represent and store the year in a date field (e.g., January 1, 2011). Software relying on two-digit identifiers for dates may not work as expected after December 31, 1999.

Handmade Software currently supports any date value set by the operating system. All date information, such as creation dates, modification dates, and time/date stamps, is generated using the date value provided by the operating system (e.g., Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh).

The current versions, as of June 15 1998, of the Handmade software listed below and all subsequent releases of these products should be unaffected by the change to the year 2000 and will accurately represent date information within the constraints of the operating systems.

All previous releases; all current releases, and all subsequent releases of these products should be unaffected by the change to the year 2000 and will accurately represent date information within the constraints of the operating systems.

Please note that Handmade cannot review and test discontinued products or all of the prior versions of Handmade products. If you have a prior version of a continued Handmade product, and year 2000 compliance is critical to you, we strongly encourage you to update to the current version.

For update information in the United States, please contact Handmade Software, Inc. at +1 800 252 0101.

Furthermore, Handmade cannot provide any warranties specific to Year 2000 readiness because this matter depends on several factors, including software from other vendors, most particularly the operating system. Because Handmade software currently supports the date value set by the operating system, users should confirm that their operating systems are, or will be, year 2000 compliant. The limited warranty for Handmade products is defined in the end user license agreement for each Handmade product. The information provided herein does not constitute an extension of any such warranty.

Because of the large number of inquiries, Handmade cannot process customers' questionnaires or surveys relating to their particular Year 2000 compliance efforts. Lengthy surveys and written requests for detailed information generate a substantial amount of paper product. In an effort to conserve your expense and our natural resources, Handmade respectfully requests that you refrain from directing additional written inquiries, questionnaires, or surveys to our offices. This statement represents all of the information that we have at this time. Changes periodically may be added to the information herein, and we invite you to return to this site to confirm the currency of your information.
