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 will
perform on your system.
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, 50 users, and QWK packets of 24 messages.
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 distributor
do not 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.
