Nope this is not a scam or a way of gettting illegitimate software! And I do know this is off topic.

I’ve actually received a FULL completely legitimate copy of ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite from Zonelabs by doing the following:

Visit: http://www.trialpay.com/

Create an account, sign up for an offer (eMusic is free for 7 days – no catch at all) and then you’ll receive your 1 years license from Zonelabs for ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite. You then of course cancel your offer within the 7 days – if you don’t want to stay with it 😀

I did this last year and my license for ZoneAlarm is now due for renewal in March, so I thought I might as well do this again this year and I’ve successfully managed to get another license for 1 more year for free – in total saving me over £50+ GBP.

Here’s a screenshot to prove I got my license for free over this last year along with my current offer that’s currently going through for another free license at the moment -just to show you it’s not a scam.

Read all the reviews on google – and trust me you’ll end up getting something for nothing!!

Just trying to help you all save some pennies during the economic crisis around the world!

All those offers have a catch somewhere, I signed up to get some software some months ago, it was advertised as a full version. Getting some other stuff for like advertised 7,99 actually having to pay prior unmentioned but then typical high shipping costs totaling the whole deal to like nearly 20 bucks. Now I downloaded my software and what came up, it is a full version yes, but not the full full version. All the features needed would cost me now like 50 bucks to get those.

Do not know how it is with this ZoneAlarm offer, but take care and read ALL the parts of the terms and conditions.

Much fun!:D

Woohanetworks – I don’t know if you’ve read my post in full.

I am very careful when it comes to things like this and i’ve tested this out by actually going through a full year without having to pay out anything.

My license is now due for renewal and i’ve managed to renew it again without paying anything!

Then again – it all depends on whether it’s worth your time doing this. I’ve done it and I know it works without paying anything – no loss of mine – just sharing.

apologies – not feeling attacked – just a loooong weekend with my 2 and a half year old daughter and little sleep.

just got the wrong end of the stick as most people tend to always see the negative when things like this are posted – i can’t blame them either.

I saw many trialpay things and tried to sign for one but to qualify I had to pay 7 euros etc and jump thru many hoops, Zonelabs security suite is not the best out there or really good, there are free full version that are better so thanks but no thanks

I do not know what this topic becomes such fuzz? Use the trials, I had my experience with them and will not use them again.

I never said they are scam or something is not legitimate or whatever.

By now I wonder why one is taking such type of party of them when all is no scam and all is legitimate. I mean Bernie Madoff and his business was also no scam and legitimate and now people complain along with the SEC and others that is a scam now.

When a company offers a product based on procedures like TrialPay does, than one has to accomodate to those terms and conditions and either likes them or not. Some may say this is scam, as you do not get the full full version or whatever reasons, but I only mentioned my experiences with the company.

I say, it is not really scam as when you read the terms and conditions before and any description as thoroughly as possible you can know upfront what you get, so the fault is in this case on my side, as I should have read those better before purchasing, than I would not have purchased it as there they state what one gets.

Same with any other offerings, if in the supermarket or anywhere else, and even also with all the real scams out there, it becomes a scam as soon some authority comes in and says that the terms and conditions are not as they should as they even show the people who either are happy or unhappy with the products or offerings later, what they could await.

This is a same complicating thing as anything that is about legal and laws, be happy with it when you get what you want or unhappy when it turns out not be as good as you thought it was.

Thank you!

Examples:

Something that is definitely scam will look like this…

Offering: Pay once, you get lifetime access to your product and will never have to pay again.
Reality: You are billed again and again for the product you purchased. It is not mentioned in the t&cs that there may be changes to your services paid for that will reflect on that you can’t cancel your subscription or that you simply do not wish the additional services you shall pay for.

Something that is not scam will look like this…

Offering: Pay once, you get lifetime access to your product and will never have to pay again.
Reality: You paid once, you get lifetime access to your product and never get billed again.

Something that is legitimate and maybe becomes a scam as soon a lot of people complain and certain authorities investigate the case…

Offering: Pay once, you get lifetime access to your product and will never have to pay again. The product you get is the full version of software xyz, there is no catch, you will have access to your product, download it and will be all set.
Reality: You pay once, you get your product and when you want to use it, the program tells you, without any note in the offering you could directly access without reading though hundred pages of t&cs with attorney knowledge, to activate your product to get access to all functions you have to follow a provided link and purchase the full license. But, you thought you get the full version as it was stated in the description, what you got was a version that will be become a full version as soon you purchase an additional update but was not offered as such. When you call or contact customer service, they tell you that this was mentioned in their t&c and they do not feel they had to include in the description.

One still could go into better detail about this topic, but I think one can understand what is meant.

Nothing else!

Just to expand a bit, and to encourage people to simply get in interest in reading more of those “Terms and Conditions of Homepages they frequently use” and to come from this legal issue to the commonly misunderstood issue of (i)framing the Google Homepage. This is also a simple thing, but no one may really get problems with Google. The ones who iframe the Google Homepage do this mostly without any bad habit, and the ones who have major sites use to read also Googles Terms and Conditions and so do not do it, do not frame or iframe the page.

Who does not read them will think it is no issue to iframe it, it seems to them like their own property, their search engine they can do with whatever “legitimate” they like, they mostly also do not do anything not legitimate with purpose to harm Google in anyway, just want to iframe it for users etc.., as some service or convenience thing on their homepages.

When you read the Google T&Cs, you will find a section that is called like “what to do with google content and what not to do”. Reading this, even just because of interest in how Google works will reveal one this:

Accessing the T&Cs on http://www.google.com/intl/en/privacy_terms.html will lead you to also read
http://www.google.com/permissions/guidelines.html

Google Permissions

Don’t frame or mirror any Google page (including the page that appears in response to a click on the Google logo or Google search box).

Now, who really knows this, but it is part of the Google Terms. So, why not simply getting the fun of liking T&Cs and reading them, it is really fun and you will learn a lot, and one should never stop the will to learn more.

Much fun with that!

P.S.: I think it is also time for a compliment to Joomlart.com, as they do not feel to let a user of prospect member go through a bunch of T&Cs. When you access the site where you can compare memberships and the plans you like, you ultimately get all the desired information, you know right away, that the simple plan contains no copyright removal, what a developer membership brings and so on and so on and so on. Everything clearly stated, no catches, and also nothing that leads to complain on this part at all. Simply a good way to conduct business. Thank you!
