+             Taler is a cost-effective electronic payment system
+             which provides you with cryptographic proof that
+             the payment worked correctly within milliseconds.
+             Your Web customers pay with previously unknown
+             levels of convenience without risk of fraud.

+               Processing transactions with Taler is fast,
+               allowing you to confirm the transaction with your
+               customer virtually immediately.  Your customers
+               will appreciate that they do not have to type in
+               credit card information and play the &quot;verified
+               by&quot; game.  By making payments significantly
+               more convenient for your customers, you may be able
+               to use Taler for small transactions that would not
+               work with credit card payments due to the mental
+               overhead for customers.

+               do not have to undergo any particular security audits
+               (such as PCI DSS).  Your systems will have customer
+               contracts with qualified signatures for all
+               transactions which you can use in court in case of
+               disputes.
