DISCLAIMER
----------
RAPTOR BBS is released 'as is' with no warranty either expressed
or implied. RAPTOR has been extensively tested under DOS and
OS/2 and has behaved extremely well. However, there is no
guarantee of how RAPTOR BBS and it's associated utilities.
RAPTOR will be considered to include the RAPTOR BBS Executable
files, data files and any other files and support programs
created or developed by the RAPTOR Development Team. In no way
shall any of the members of the RAPTOR Development team, the
RAPTOR Alpha /Support team, nor anyone else in any way related
to the production and distribution of the RAPTOR BBS System be
responsible for any damage which may occur resulting from the
use, misuse or failure to perform of the RAPTOR BBS System. If
you cannot accept this responsibility please do NOT install
RAPTOR. Your installation and use of these files will constitute
your acceptance of all conditions of the above paragraph.
LICENSE
-------
RAPTOR BBS System is not freeware or public domain. It is a
copyrighted program released under the shareware concept of
program distribution. You are granted a license to use the
shareware release of RAPTOR for evaluation perposes only. The
unregistered version of RAPTOR is limited to 10 file areas, 10
message areas, and 50 users. If after a 45 day trial period you
elect to continue to use RAPTOR BBS System, the program must be
registered with the authors. Registration will unlock all the
limited features of RAPTOR and also eliminate the delay at
login. Reverse engineering, decompiling, or modifying RAPTOR BBS
is expressly prohibited except that your personal copy of RAPTOR
may be modified to the extent that the BBS.EXE and BBS.OVR may
be 'hex edited', provided that no copyright information or
version information is modified, and that the modified copy of
RAPTOR may not be distributed. You are licensed to distribute
copies of ONLY the Shareware version of RAPTOR BBS, provided
that no charge, other than a disk copying fee will be charged
for the software. In no way will this fee be more than $8.00 US.
Charges for access to electronic bulletin board services will
not be considered a disk copying fee and are exempt from this
restriction. Commercially distributed shareware disks and
CD-ROMS are also exempted from this restriction, however they
must clearly state that RAPTOR BBS is shareware and any fees
paid to the istributor do constitute registration, but merely
compensate the distributor for his costs,and requires
registration with the authors. Distribution of registered copies
of RAPTOR, or registration and serial number information is
strictly prohibited. Your license for RAPTOR is transferable
provided you transfer all registered copies of RAPTOR. The
purchaser of transferred software may update his registration to
his own name for 20% of the then current registration fee for
RAPTOR.
Current registration policy for RAPTOR is a lifetime
registration. What this means is that there will be no charge
for upgrades. It will however be the licensees responsibility to
obtain the upgrades, and the RAPTOR development team will accept
no responsibility for informing licensees personally of new
releases and updates. If the registration number algorithm
changes for any reason it will be the liceses responsibilty to
contact the development team and make arrangements to receive a
new key, at no charge. It is entirely possible that the upgrade
policy will change in the future, however the changes will only
affect those licenssees who register AFTER the date the change
takes effect. In other words if in the future policy changes
require the purchase of an upgrade, any licensees who registered
before that date will continue to receive free upgrades.
Shipping, and media will be the responsibility of the licensee,
and any additional products added to the registration package
(printed manuals etc) will not be covered, but if desired will
be available at additional cost.
THIRD PARTY DEVELOPERS
-----------------------
Third party developers are encouraged to contact the development
team concerning utilities and add ons for RAPTOR. The structures
for RAPTOR are available for developers, and developers may
submit their products to be considered for 'recommended third
party utilities'. Each product submitted will be considered on
an individual basis by the development team based on
usefullness, performance, and in keeping with the basic tennets
of RAPTOR BBS which is to make running a BBS as inexpensive as
possible. Those products designated as 'recommended' will be
distributed in shareware form with the RAPTOR BBS System
distribution package.
SUPPORT
-------
Support will be provided through our ALPHA/SUPPORT network of
RAPTOR sysops, as well as by the development team on the BBS's
listed in the main docs. A RAPTOR support echo will also be
maintained on SAC_NET, gated to NVR_NET. Contact the development
team for more information concerning joining either of these two
fine nets. The latest version of RAPTOR will be hatched into the
SAC_NET FDN. Our intention is to provide complete and
comprehensive support for our sysops, and to be available for
comments and suggestions concerning changes and additions to
RAPTOR BBS System. Support for unregistered sysops will be
provided as available. Registered users will be served first,
and the most serious problems addressed first.
