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.
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.
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.
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of Clients & Contacts must accept this disclaimer of
warranty:"Clients & Contacts" is supplied as is. The author
disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, including, with-
out 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 Clients
& Contacts."
Clients & Contacts 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 Clients & Contacts and contin-
ue to use Clients & Contacts after a reasonable trial period, you
must make a registration payment of $19.95 plus $4 s/h to Blue
Moose Software. The $19.95 plus $4 s/h 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.
Commercial users of Clients & Contacts must register and pay for
their copies of Clients & Contacts within 30 days of first use or
their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be
made by contacting Blue Moose Software.
Anyone distributing Clients & Contacts for any kind of remunera-
tion must first contact Blue Moose Software at the address below
for authorization. This authorization will be automatically
granted to distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to
its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors
may begin offering Clients & Contacts immediately (However Blue
Moose Software must still be advised so that the distributor can
be kept up-to-date with the latest version of Clients &
Contacts.).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of Clients & Contacts along to
your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register
their copy if they find that they can use it. All registered
users will receive a copy of the latest version of Clients &
Contacts .
