Well we're glad you asked! Fortunately our friends at PayPal have setup a secure and simple two-step process to accept donations of any amount on our behalf! Remember, donations small or large are greatly appreciated as every little bit helps!

( Worried About Your Privacy ) ?

PayPal do not require you to create an account with them to make donations! They don't make it obvious, but there is a "Continue" link (pointed to by the orange arrow below) which allows you to progress to the next screen without needing a PayPal account.

After clicking the "continue" link, you'll be asked for additional information such as your name and billing address. This is simply for the credit card company to verify you are the owner of the card. 

don't worry, this information isn't sent to telemarketers ... Just check out PayPal's Privacy Policy at the bottom of their processing page!

If you like the software tools we develop and want to see them developed even further then please consider donating! Your donation helps to keep snacks on our table as well as funding for these very important resources:

• Domain Name Renewals >> AU$20 per year
• Website Hosting >> AU$600 per year
• Microsoft MSDN Subscription >> AU$1500 per year
• Working late pizza fuel (with extra pepperoni) >> AU$25 per month
• Technical Support >> ~500 Hours per year
• Ongoing Software Development >> ~1,000 Hours per year

Any donation will be put to good use by offsetting hosting, bandwidth and snack costs as well as providing extra resources to help us develop better online services for you!

You can donate any amount that you feel comfortable making and we are greatful that you've taken the time to consider us.

PayPal do, however, have a schedule of transaction fees that are deducted from the amount you send to us. Pretty much anything under AU$0.50c goes straight to PayPal as fees, so if you think it would be funny to donate au$0.10c, then PayPal will be laughing because your donation won't even make it through to us!

As a "Thank You" for taking the time and effort to make a donation, we'll provide you with user licenses for all our XMLTV Download and Guide Service Proxy products! After you've made your PayPal donation, just follow the registration steps for each of these applications and we'll send you a license!

Even though you don't need a license to use XMLTV Download or Guide Service Proxy, having one will remove any "nag" screens and unlock advanced features within these applications! Just our way of saying "Thanks" for those users who've taken the time to support us! :)

We hate having to say this, especially if you've taken the time to make a donation, but we do have to point out a few things:

• We reserve the right to not accept a donation. In this case the donation will be refunded in full!
• We reserve the right to not grant a license. Occassionally a user will fly into a fit of rage when something goes wrong and send us abusive emails, or say horrible things about our mothers. Now we want to help people out with their problems, but abusing or threatening us isn't what we signed up for.
