CD-R/RW BURNING POLICY

I've received numerous requests to receive a burned copy of the FROSTBITE mod.  I can empathize with those of you on a dial up connection since it has been less than a year when I was in that same position. 
 

My policy is simple and fair. If you are unable to wait for another site or individual to burn a copy of FROSTBITE, I will provide one for you free of charge.  There is a catch to this.  You must send me a Self-addressed, Stamped Envelope suitable for mailing the CD plus a CD-R/CD-RW for each copy desired. If you are not living within the Continental USA, I cannot guarantee any customs charges that you may incur from mailing to a residence outside of the United States of America. In other words, my definition of "free of charge" is that I will not profit from this, but your government may profit.  If you do not live within the USA, it is your responsibility to inform me of your country's customs laws.  It is also your responsibility to provide the correct postage beforehand.  I will not pay to have the product mailed to you and your failure to comply with the above statement will null and void my obligation to send it to you.
