────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This Limited Use Software License Agreement (the "Agreement") is a legal
agreement between you, the end-user, and Michael S. Hoenie, ("MSH"), the
Software Author.
GRUNT is copyrighted (c)1996 by Michael S. Hoenie. All Rights Reserved.
By continuing the installation of this game program, by loading or
running the game, or by placing or copying the game program onto your
computer hard drive, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this
Agreement.
MSH SOFTWARE LICENSE
1. Grant of License. MSH grants to you the limited right to use the
GRUNT Software game program (the "Software"), which is the demo
version of the Software for the exclusive, limited purpose of
testing the compatibility of your computer system with the Software.
You are not receiving any ownership or proprietary right, title or
interest in or to the Software or the copyright or other rights
related thereto. For purposes of this section, "use" means loading
the Software into RAM, as well as installation on a hard disk or
other storage device. You agree that the Software will not be
shipped, transferred or exported into any country in violation of
the U.S. Export Administration Act (or any other law governing such
matters) and that you will not utilize, in any other manner, the
Software in violation of any applicable law.
2. Prohibited Commercial Use. Under no circumstances shall you, the
end-user, be permitted, allowed or authorized to commercially
exploit the Software. Neither you nor anyone at your direction
shall do any of the following acts:
a. Rent the Software;
b. Sell the Software;
c. Lease or lend the Software;
d. Offer the Software on a pay-per-play basis;
e. Distribute the Software (except as noted in 4. hereinbelow) by
any means, including, but not limited to direct mail, retail,
mail order or other means; or
f. In any other manner and through any medium whatsoever
commercially exploit the Software or use the Software for any
commercial purpose.
3. Additional Prohibited Uses: You shall not make the following uses
or take the following action in regard to the Software:
a. Translate the Software;
b. Reproduce the Software;
c. Publicly display the Software; or
d. Prepare derivative works based upon the Software.
4. Electronic Distribution is Permitted: So long as this Agreement
accompanies the Software at all times, MSH grants to Providers the
limited right to distribute, free of charge, except normal access
fees, and by electronic means only, the Software; provided, however,
the Software must be so electronically distributed only in a
compressed format. The term "Providers," as used in the foregoing
sentence, shall mean persons whose business it is to provide services
on the Internet, on commercial online networks, or on the BBS. Anyone
who receives the Software from a Provider shall be limited to all the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.
5. Copyright. The Software is owned by MSH and is protected by United
States copyright laws and international treaty provisions. You must
treat the Software like any other copyrighted material, as required
by 17. U.S.C., 101 et seq. and other applicable law. You agree to
use your best efforts to see that any user of the Software licensed
hereunder complies with this Agreement.
6. NO WARRANTIES. MSH DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO
THE SOFTWARE AND THE ACCOMPANYING WRITTEN MATERIALS, IF ANY. MICHAEL
S. HOENIE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE
UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE OR MEET YOUR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS.
ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS SUCH AS PRESENTATIONS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN,
DO NOT CONSTITUTE WARRANTIES BY MSH AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON.
7. Venue and Exclusive Remedies. This Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Texas.

States laws and international treaties. IN ANY CASE, NEITHER MSH NOR
MICHAEL S. HOENIE'S OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, AGENTS,

LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES ARISING FROM BREACH
OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER LEGAL THEORY
EVEN IF MSH OR ITS AGENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY CLAIM BY ANY OTHER PARTY. Some jurisdictions do
not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
8. General Provisions. Neither this Agreement nor any part or portion
hereof shall be assigned or sublicensed, except as described herein.
Should any provision of this Agreement be held to be void, invalid,
unenforceable or illegal by a court, the validity and enforceability
of the other provisions shall not be affected thereby. If any
provision is determined to be unenforceable, you agree to a
modification of such provision to provide for enforcement of the
provision's intent, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Failure of a party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall
not constitute or be construed as a waiver of such provision or of
the right to enforce such provision. If you fail to comply with any
terms of this Agreement, YOUR LICENSE IS AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATED.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, YOU UNDERSTAND
THIS AGREEMENT, AND UNDERSTAND THAT BY CONTINUING THE INSTALLATION OF
THE SOFTWARE, BY LOADING OR RUNNING THE SOFTWARE, OR BY PLACING OR
COPYING THE SOFTWARE ONTO YOUR COMPUTER HARD DRIVE, YOU AGREE TO BE
BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT'S TERMS AND CONDITIONS. YOU FURTHER AGREE
THAT, EXCEPT FOR WRITTEN SEPARATE AGREEMENTS BETWEEN MSH AND YOU,
