In this agreement:
"Program" means the StepWare Inc. software products(s) you have purchased or obtained for evaluation, including both the software and the associated documentation and other materials;
"UNREGISTERED-DEMO Copy" means a copy of the Program distributed by us or by our authorized agents for evaluation purposes and which is described as an UNREGISTERED-DEMO copy in the Program's sign-on messages;
"REGISTERED Copy" means a copy of the Program purchased from us or from a dealer, and which is not described as an UNREGISTERED-DEMO copy in the Program's sign-on messages;
"we" or "us" means StepWare Inc., a corporation based in Grand Junction, Colorado, USA; and
"you" means the end user of the Program.
(2) Legal Agreement. This is a legal agreement that allows you, the end user, to use the Program under certain terms and conditions provided herein.
(3) Copyright. The Program is fully protected by copyright owned by StepWare under U.S. law and international treaty provisions. You agree that you shall not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Program for any purpose.
(4) Patents. This program contains elements that are patented and owned by StepWare.
(5) Trademarks. StepWareÆ and AceReaderÆ are registered trademarks of StepWare, Inc.
(6) Evaluation Period. You may use an UNREGISTERED-DEMO Copy of the Program for an evaluation period of up to 30 days, in order to determine whether the program meets your needs before purchasing it. Once the evaluation period ends, you agree to either purchase a REGISTERED Copy of the Program, or to stop using it. If you have ordered a REGISTERED Copy of the Program from us or from a dealer, you may continue to use your UNREGISTERED-DEMO Copy until your REGISTERED Copy arrives.
(7) Use of the Program. While you are evaluating the Program, you may use it on as many computers as are required to perform your evaluation. Your 30-day evaluation period begins when you first install the Program on one or more computers for evaluation purposes. Once the evaluation period is over and you purchase the program, your use is subject to the following restrictions:
Single Computer License:
If you purchased a single computer license, you agree not to install or use any individual copy of the Program on more than one computer at a time. However, you may install an individual copy simultaneously on one computer at work, one computer at home, and one portable computer, if all these computers are used primarily by the same individual, and there is no possibility that the computers will be in use at the same time except while you are actively transferring files between them.
Multiple Computer License:
If you purchased a multi-system license for the Program you agree not to install or use it on more computers than the number included in your license, as shown on your order form, invoice, the program sign-on screen, or other documents from us.
Site License:
If you purchased a Site License, unlimited use of the Program is authorized at the registered site.
If the Program was purchased by your employer, you agree to get your employer's explicit permission before installing the Program on multiple computers as described above.
(8) Making and Distributing UNREGISTERED-DEMO Copies of the Program. You may make copies of your UNREGISTERED-DEMO Copy of the Program to give to others, as long as you include all of the files that you originally received with your UNREGISTERED-DEMO Copy. When you give an UNREGISTERED-DEMO Copy of the Program to another person, you agree to inform them that their copy is to be used for a time limited evaluation period, and that they must purchase a REGISTERED Copy if they continue to use the Program once the evaluation period has ended. You agree not to sell UNREGISTERED-DEMO Copies of the Program or distribute them to others for any kind of compensation or fee unless you have written permission from StepWare Inc.
(9) Copying REGISTERED Copies of the Program. When you receive a REGISTERED Copy of the Program you may make copies of the Program software which are necessary for normal backup purposes. You agree not to make any other copies of the software, the manual(s), or any part of them, or sell or give any copies to others, without our advance written permission.
(10) Operation of the Program. You assume full responsibility for the selection and use of the Program to achieve your intended results.
(11) LIMITED WARRANTY. The following limited warranty applies to REGISTERED Copies of the Program. It is included here so you understand what your warranty will be when you purchase a REGISTERED Copy. This warranty does NOT apply to UNREGISTERED-DEMO Copies of the Program.
Physical Defects. We pledge that the disks and manuals we send you will arrive free of physical defects which interfere with normal use. If you find such a defect and report it to us within 90 days after you purchase the Program, we agree to replace the defective item(s) at no charge to you as long as the defect was not caused by misuse or abuse.
Bugs and Program Errors. We don't promise that the Program will be free of bugs or program errors. If, within one year after you purchase the Program, you report a program error or bug to us, we will use our best efforts to correct it. If we issue a maintenance release for the Program which includes a correction for an error you reported, we will send you a copy of that maintenance release at no charge if you request it. We will only do this for maintenance releases, not for new major releases or other new versions of the Program. THE REMEDIES PROVIDED ABOVE ARE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, AND STEPWARE'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE OBLIGATION AND LIABILITY, FOR BREACH OF THE WARRANTIES REGARDING PHYSICAL DEFECTS AND BUGS AND PROGRAM ERRORS.
(12) DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS.
DISCLAIMER FOR UNREGISTERED-DEMO COPIES: YOU ARE NOT PAYING FOR THE TRIAL USE LICENSE FOR YOUR UNREGISTERED-DEMO COPY OF THE PROGRAM. ACCORDINGLY THE UNREGISTERED-DEMO COPY IS PROVIDED "AS-IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
