1. DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
differ on details -- some request registration while others
require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
registration, you get anything from the simple right to
continue using the software to an updated program with printed
manual.
1.1 Copyright
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial
software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few
specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are
accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and the
programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are
good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method
of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
specific group. For example, some authors require
written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy
their Shareware.
1.2 Licence
ImgFun is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with
your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part
of another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is
to provide personal computer users with quality software
without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for
programmers to continue to develop new products. If you
find this program useful and find that you are using ImgFun
and continue to use ImgFun after a reasonable trial period,
you must make a registration payment of $35.00 to
Speedy Software. The $35.00 registration fee will license
one copy for use on any one computer at any one time. You
must treat this software just like a book. An example is that
this software may be used by any number of people and may
be freely moved from one computer location to another, so
long as there is no possibility of it being used at one
location while it's being used at another. Just as a book
cannot be read by two different persons at the same time.

1.3 DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of ImgFun must accept this disclaimer of
warranty: "ImgFun is supplied as is. The author disclaims all
warranties, expressed or implied, including, without
limitation, the warranties of merchant ability and of fitness
for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for
damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the
use of ImgFun".
1.4 Try before you pay
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software.
You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.
1.5 PRIVILEGES FOR REGISTRATION
You are encouraged to pass a copy of ImgFun along to your
friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
copies if they find that they can use it. Registered users will
receive a copy of the latest version of ImgFun+
some bonus utilities developed from the feed back of users.
At this date of writing , the bonus includes stand
alone conversion programs for gif, jpg and pki formats, , a
print out program for Epson compatible dot matrix printers,
print out programs for HP laser jets or compatibles, the
complete LHA and LZEXE packages for excellent lossless data
compression, the high speed US BBS list and information for
obtaining computer images and shareware from BBSes. This
package is packed to serve the need of data compression to
let you regain precious disk space in your system, and also let
you enjoy the results of the latest development in ImgFun for
your computer images.
1.6 Commercial Users
Commercial users of ImgFun must register and pay for their
copies of ImgFun within 21 days of first use or their licence is
withdrawn. Site-Licence arrangements can be made by contacting
