For pre-order
The FTC delay notice, sent before the date passes.
For stores selling pre-orders, made-to-order and backorders. The FTC's Mail Order Rule says you must ship by the date you stated, or within 30 days, and if you cannot, offer the buyer the choice to wait or cancel before that date. Fairwait works out each unshipped order's ship-by date, warns before one passes, and writes the right delay or renewed notice. It tracks the buyer's answer, shipping, cancelling and the refund. You send the notice. Not legal advice.

What happens to my data if I uninstall?
