	Right now, PubGizmo is built to serve presses in Canada and the United States, ~~but if your~~ are based elsewhere, don't worry: we are always improving and developing, and are eager to support other territories, once we know there's interest. If you let us know, we can start planning to serve your region; letting other local presses know about PubGizmo, and having them contact us, will ~~definitely~~ accelerate that process.		Right now, PubGizmo is built to serve presses in Canada and the United States, largely due to the location of our servers in the east and west of North America, which could mean annoying latency when accessing overseas. If you are based elsewhere, don't worry: we are always improving and developing, and are eager to support other territories, once we know there's interest. If you let us know, we can start planning to serve your region; letting other local presses know about PubGizmo, and having them contact us, will accelerate that process, because we operate on an "economy-of-scale" model, where more users mean lower costs for everyone.

			== How Quickly Can We Do Our First Royalty Run? ==
			If your press's royalty run is fast approaching, you'll want to know how quickly you can get aboard and start benefiting from PubGizmo. Much of that depends on how long it takes you to prepare your data (see below). Once we have that data in Excel format, we can get you aboard in as little as three days, depending on the state and volume of your data, and how busy we are with other commitments (which is why you should let us know ASAP if your run is happening in the next 90 days).
