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 must register. All copyright laws apply to
shareware, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a
few specific exceptions as stated below. Like shelfware authors,
shareware authors are accomplished programmers, and the programs
are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good
programs and bad ones!) The difference is the method of
distribution. The shareware author specifically grants the
right to copy and distribute the software, either in general or
to a specific group.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether
it's found on a store shelf or shareware. Shareware 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.
DISCLAIMER AND LICENSE AGREEMENT
Users of Hi, Finance! must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"THE PROGRAM IS SUPPLIED AS IS. THE AUTHOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES,
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND OF FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. THE AUTHOR
ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES, DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL, WHICH MAY
RESULT FROM THE USE OF THE PROGRAM.
"SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO
YOU. IN SUCH CASE, BRIGHTRIDGE'S LIABILITY, IF ANY, ARISING OUT OF
BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT, PATENT OR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT, OR ANY
OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE LICENSE CHARGES PAID BY
YOU FOR THE SOFTWARE.
"THIS SOFTWARE LICENSE AND DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY STATEMENT IS
GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE, BUT
NOT INCLUDING THE 1980 U.N. CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR
INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS."
U.S. Government Restricted Rights Legend:
If the program is acquired by an agency or other part of the U.S.
Government, the program and accompanying written materials are
provided with Restricted Rights and use, duplication, or disclosure
by the Government is subject to restrictions as set forth in
subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) or (b)(3)(ii) of the Rights in Technical
Data and Computer Program clause at DFARS 252.227-7013 or in
subparagraphs (c)(1) and (2) of the Commercial Computer Program --
Restricted Rights 48 CFR 52.227-19, as applicable. The
contractor/manufacturer is Brightridge Solutions, Inc., 1534
Brightridge Drive, Kingsport, TN 37664-2006.
License Agreement:
Hi, Finance! is provided at no charge to the user for evaluation.
Share it with your friends, but please do not give it away altered
or as part of another application package. Please remind them to
register if they find that they can use it. The essence of
"user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users
with quality software at bargain prices, and yet to provide
incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products.
If you find that you are using Hi, Finance! after a reasonable
trial period, you must make a registration payment of $59 (plus
$5 S&H per order) to Brightridge Solutions, Inc. Registered
users will receive the latest version and a printed manual.
Treat this program like a book. For example, 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. Site-License or quantity arrangements at substantial
discounts are available.
Anyone distributing Hi, Finance! for any kind of remuneration
must first contact Brightridge Solutions, Inc. for authorization.
This is automatically granted to members of the Association of
Shareware Professionals (ASP), who may begin offering Hi, Finance!
immediately (However we must still be advised so the distributor
can be kept up-to-date with the latest version).
ASP Ombudsman Statement:
This program is produced by a member of the Association of
Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the
shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a
shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the
member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can
help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but
does not provide technical support for members' products.
Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon,
MI 49442-9427, FAX 616-788-2765 or send a CompuServe message via
CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
