Copy Protection
FARC Inc., software is “copy righted” and “copy protected”. This means that the software has been specifically designed to be used on one computer [MSFT-PC, tablet, smart phone, desk-top or lap-top] at a time; but not a corporate business network.

This license is non-transferable to any other individual or entity. But, you keep it forever.
Purchase
Our program[s] are good forever; just like a text book. It is not a time-limited subscription service “time-bomb” portal, or cloud application that you can not control. But, no refunds are possible and all sales are always final on all products. Customization may take an additional 24-48 hours to prepare.
