SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
(1) Introduction. This agreement explains when and how you may use both
shareware and registered copies of software products from QED Software.
In this agreement:
* "Program" means the QED Software products(s) you have purchased
or obtained for evaluation, including the software, the associated
documentation and other materials;
* "Shareware Copy" means a copy of the Program distributed by us or
by our authorized agents for evaluation purposes;
* "Registered Copy" means a copy of the Program purchased from us
or from a dealer, and which is not described as a shareware copy
in the Program's sign-on messages;
* "we" or "us" means QED Software; and
* "you" means the end user of the Program.
(2) Legal Agreement. This is a legal agreement which allows you, the end
user, to use the Program under certain terms and conditions. If you
cannot agree to abide by what this agreement says you should not use or
evaluate the Program.
(3) Copyright. The Program is copyrighted under US law and international
treaty provisions. You agree that your use of the Program is subject to
these laws, which prohibit unauthorized copying or duplication of the
Program software, documentation, and other materials.
(4) Evaluation Period. You may use a Shareware Copy of the Program for
an evaluation period of up to 21 days. The purpose of this evaluation
period is to allow you to determine whether the program meets your needs
before purchasing it. Once the evaluation period has ended, 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 Shareware Copy beyond the end of the
21-day evaluation period until your Registered Copy arrives.
(5) 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 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:
Individual Copies: You agree not to install and use an individual
Registered Copy of the Program on more than one computer at a time.
However, we agree to an exception to this rule if you meet the
conditions described in the rest of this paragraph. You may install
your 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. If the Program was purchased
by your employer you agree to get your employer's explicit permission
before installing the Program on multiple systems as described in this
paragraph.
(6) Making and Distributing Shareware Copies of the Program. You may
make copies of your Shareware Copy of the Program to give to others, as
long as you include all of the files that you originally received with
your Shareware Copy, as listed in the README.DOC file included with your
Shareware Copy. When you give a Shareware 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 Shareware Copies of the Program or distribute them
to others for any kind of compensation or fee unless you are a non-profit
User Group, or have received written permission from us; and your
permission to distribute the Program has not been revoked by us. You
also agree not to sell printed copies of any documentation for the
Program under any circumstances.
(7) 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 give your Registered Copy of the Program to others for any purpose.
This means that you may not sell or give away copies of a Registered Copy
of the Program or any part of it in any way, including bundling or
re-selling the Program with your own software, or placing such a copy of
the Program in any disk library or on any bulletin board or electronic
service.
(8) Operation of the Program. QED Software's products are powerful
programs. While we have attempted to build in reasonable safeguards, if
you do not use them properly you may destroy files or cause other damage
to your computer software and data. You assume full responsibility for
the selection and use of the Program to achieve your intended results.
THIS PROGRAM IS PROVIDED "AS-IS", WITHOUT WARANTY OF ANY KIND. WE
DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. COPIES OF THE
PROGRAM MAY NOT BE SOLD FOR MORE THAN THE COST OF THE MEDIUM THEY ARE
COPIED ON, PLUS REASONABLE HANDLING CHARGES. THIS PROGRAM AND ITS
USER'S MANUAL MAY BE COPIED AD LIB PROVIDED ALL FILES, INCLUDING THE
AUTHOR'S COPYRIGHT NOTICE AND DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTY ARE REPRODUCED IN
FULL. YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS, WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR SHAREWARE AND REGISTERED COPIES. IN NO
EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE
DAMAGES WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF USE OF THE PROGRAM OR YOUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH US, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY OR ALL DAMAGES
FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF INFORMATION OR ANY
PECUNIARY LOSS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, THEREFORE THE ABOVE LIMITATION
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
