JP SOFTWARE'S PLAIN ENGLISH SHAREWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
AND LIMITED WARRANTY
(1) Introduction. This agreement explains when and how you may use
both shareware (trial) and registered (purchased) copies of software
products from JP Software. In this agreement:
>> "Program" means the JP Software software products(s) you have
purchased or obtained for evaluation, including both the software
and 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 and which is
described as a trial or shareware 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 a trial or
shareware copy in the Program's sign-on messages;
>> "Bundle" means a set of one or more Programs sold together as a
"pack", "suite", or other similar term, all for use on the same
computer;
>> "we" or "us" means JP Software Inc., a corporation based in
Arlington, Massachusetts, USA; 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 fully protected by copyright under
U.S. law and international treaty provisions.
(4) Evaluation Period. You may use a Shareware Copy of the Program
for an evaluation period of up to 21 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 Shareware Copy 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 21-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:
(A) 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 (and ONLY 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. This provision is only for individual copies and does not
apply to multi-system licenses. 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
here.
(B) If you purchased an individual copy of a Bundle containing more
than one Program, you agree that all Programs in the Bundle will
be used on the same computer. You may not use one Program or set
of Programs from a Bundle on one computer, and at the same time use
a different Program or set of Programs from the same Bundle on a
second computer.
(C) If you purchased a multi-system license for the Program or a
Bundle you agree not to install or use the Program or Programs on
more computers than the number included in your license, as shown
on your order, payment, invoice, or other similar documentation;
the program sign-on screen; or other electronic or printed
documents received from us or our dealer.
If your license is for a Bundle containing more than one Program,
you agree that all Programs in the licensed Bundle will be used on
the same computers. You may not split the Programs within the
Bundle between different computers in a way which causes the total
number of computers on which any Program from the Bundle is used
or installed to exceed the number of systems included in your
license.
(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. 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 abide by the restrictions in
JP Software's VENDOR.DOC file.
(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 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.
(8) Operation of the Program. The Program offers powerful
capabilities. If you do not follow our instructions, or if you use
the Program improperly, you can destroy files or cause other damage
to your software and data. You assume full responsibility for the
selection and use of the Program to achieve your intended results.
(9) 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 Shareware 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 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 assist you in
downlaoding it, or 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.
Satisfaction Guarantee. If you are dissatisfied with any product
you buy from us under this Agreement for any reason, you may
return it at any time up to 90 days after purchase and we will
give you a refund. If the product is a JP Software product we
will give you a full refund. If it is not a JP Software product
we will give you a full refund if in our judgment the product is
returned in complete, undamaged, and resellable condition, or a
50% refund if not. Refunds will be based on the price you paid,
less shipping and rush order charges. You must contact us for a
return authorization before returning any product for a refund.
This satisfaction guarantee does not apply to multi-system
licenses for more than 10 computers, or to purchases of more than
10 individual copies at one time.
(10) DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS. And now the legal language we
couldn't avoid:
DISCLAIMER FOR SHAREWARE COPIES: YOU ARE NOT PAYING FOR THE TRIAL
USE LICENSE FOR YOUR SHAREWARE COPY OF THE PROGRAM. ACCORDINGLY
THE SHAREWARE COPY IS PROVIDED "AS-IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
KIND.
DISCLAIMER FOR REGISTERED COPIES: EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY
STATED ABOVE, WE DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE LIMITED
WARRANTY ABOVE GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, BUT YOU MAY HAVE
OTHER RIGHTS, WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: 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. SOME
STATES DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, THEREFORE THE ABOVE
LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
