To be honest, I don't like the money back "guarantee", simply because there
is no guarantee whatsoever I _will_ get my money back. What can someone in,
say Europe, do to enforce the money back clause on a company in, say the US?
Even if you could, it would probably cost you more then it's worth. Except
for well-known companies or persons (and even then <g> ) I trust _nobody_ on
the internet.
I definitely do like the full-featured-but-time-limited scheme that we see
more and more on the internet these days. I've purchased several apps that
way, because
- You can download immediately,
- You can evaluate immediately,
- There's no money back hassle if you don't like it.
my $0.02...
regards - Dirk
