GIFtest Liscense Agreement and Order Form
CopyRight 1991 by Dave Navarro, Jr.
GIFtest is Copyrighted by Dave Navarro, Jr. as of April 1991 and
is covered by US and International Copyright laws. The author reserves
all rights.
Liscense:
Starting with version 2.0, GIFtest is now Shareware, and no longer
freeware. This is to help offset the cost of development for GIFtest.
You are granted a limited liscense to use GIFtest for a thirty (30) day
period for the purpose of evaluating it for your own use. After thirty
days, you are required to either register GIFtest or stop using it.
To continue using it is a violation of copyright laws and just not a
nice thing to do..
The Shareware version of GIFtest is NOT crippled in any way. There
are no missing features or timers. The only differences between the
registered and unregistered versions of GIFtest are, the Shareware
version displays my name, address and the requested registration fee
at the end of the help screen, and their is a 2 second delay after each
use and "UNREGISTERED version" is displayed. This does not cripple the
program, or make it unusable, it's just annoying and acts as "incentive"
for registering GIFtest.
Registered owners will also recieve, free of charge with their order
the following ulities designed to work with GIFtest:
GIFbrand: Add a description of up to 5 lines by 40 charactors to
a GIF file. GIFtest will extract these descriptions and
"replace" any description typed by a user on ProDoor and
PCBoard systems. Descriptions can also be "encrypted"
so that they cannot be altered as a measure of security
for BBSs that create original scans. GIFbrand also stores
the original 32bit CRC in the file to help in duplication
prevention on BBSs when the only change in a GIF is the
addition on a description or comment.
GIFread: Read and display any description that has been branded
into a GIF file and display it along with a complete
analasys of the GIF. Includes support for GIF89a text
comment fields.
GIFstats: Statistics program that analyses your GIFLOG and displays
a summary of all the information contained. SysOps can
redirect this to a file for bulletins on their systems.
GIFstrip: Strips comments, and "extension" headers from GIF files
to reduce their size. Including GIFLITE header, secondary
images (multiple image GIFs), GIFbrand descriptions and text
comments.
Registered owners are also eligible for a discount on GIFLab and GIFLab
Lite, a "graphical" version of GIFtest for sysops that displays what it is
doing to both the local screen and on the remote users screen. Contact
the author for more information.
BBS Distribution:
BBSs are granted a limited liscense to distribute GIFtest in a compressed
format. The distributing BBS is not limited to the type of compression
method used for distribution. However, the BBS must follow the following
guidelines:
1. If GIFtest is distributed in a ".ZIP" file, the BBS must do it's
best to preserve the "AV" that GIFtest was compressed with by the
author. If a BBS wishes to have GIFtest sent to them directly
from the author, please contact the author and a copy will be sent
either by US Mail, or uploaded directly to the BBS. The sole
exception to distribution of GIFtest without the security "AV"
placed by the author is where a BBS uses a program to validate their
uploads that, as a part of validation, reZIP's the file for maximum
compression (not necessary since the distribution archive from the
author is created with maximum compression enabled).
2. No BBS may, in re-ZIPing GIFtest, add to the ".ZIP" their own "AV"
which does not belong to the author.
3. No BBS is authorized to add any files to the archive which are not
part of the original GIFtest archive as distributed by the author.
The sole exception is where a BBS adds an ASCII text file (containing
no ANSI codes of any type) as an advertisement, and the filename for
the file has not and/or will not change, and the BBS does not "cycle"
filenames for the purpose of "fooling" upload checking programs from
other BBSs which remove such advertisements.
4. No user may be charged any additional fee just to download GIFtest
from the BBS.
Shareware Vendor Distribution:
This copyrighted software and its documentation is NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN.
However, GIFtest may be distributed at no charge, or for a charge not to
exceed $12 US to cover shipping and media costs. When secondarily
distributed, GIFtest must be in its original compressed form and
accompanied by its full documentation. The distributed software and
documentation may not have been modified in any way.
No secondary distributor is authorized to "register" an individual
copy of GIFtest. Registration fees may only be sent directly to the
author as outlined in the manual on disk. Note that the registration fee
is exclusive of, and over and above any fees that may have been charged by
a secondary distributor.
A secondary distributor must notify it's customers that GIFtest is a
shareware program and that the fee payed by their customer does not include
any fees owed the author for use of this program.
A secondary distributor must notify the author of their intention to
include this group of files in their distribution. A secondary distributor
may be granted exceptions to these conditions, only in writing from the
original author.
The author reserves the right to change any of these conditions without
notice and any changes become retroactive. Failure to abide by this liscense
agreement may result in either Civil Lawsuit or Criminal charges being filed.
Special Shareware Version:
The author will also provide any BBS or secondary distributor a "special"
shareware copy of GIFtest that will display "Obtained from:[your bbs or
company name here]". To obtain this special version, contact the author
and a copy will be sent to you at no charge, either through US Mail, or
uploaded directly to your BBS.
Order Information
-----------------
Registration:
Once you have registered GIFtest, you are eligible to recieve all
future versions of GIFtest for no additional upgrade fee beyond
any necessary shipping charges.
Shipping and Handling:
All orders REQUIRE a shipping and handling charge as shown below.
These charges cover our costs in shipping your order and tracing
delivery problems.
Disk Only
---------
USA (standard) $ 2.00
USA (2nd day air) 8.00
Canada and Mexico 3.00
All other countries 5.00
For each additional diskette up to a total of five add $1.00
(regardless of destination). On orders for over five items contact
the author for reduced shipping charges.
Orders typically require 3 - 4 business days processing time before
shipment, and may take more or less depending on our order backlog.
US standard shipping is via UPS Ground, via US Priority Mail where
UPS delivery is impossible (PO Boxes, Alaska, Hawaii, and APO / FPO
addresses), and via First Class Mail for diskette-only orders. US
2-day shipping is via UPS Blue Label. All shipping outside the US is
via Air Mail. Shipping time varies from 1 business day for UPS
Ground to New England, to 6 business days for UPS Ground to California,
to several weeks for countries outside the US where mail service
is slow. Express shipping via UPS Red Label or Federal Express is
available; contact us for rates.
Payment Terms:
Personal checks may be subject to a bank clearance delay before
shipment. All payments must be made in US funds and drawn on a US
bank; see below for more details on international orders. There
is a $7 charge for all returned checks.
International Orders:
We are happy to accept orders from outside the US, but must require
payment in the correct form to avoid the exorbitant fees charged by
US and non-US banks for international check collections.
Acceptable Payment:
* A check or money order in US funds and drawn on a US bank.
Checks which are not in US funds and drawn on a US bank must
unfortunately be returned to you, resulting in significant
delay in processing your order and additional expense to
you.
* An international postal money order in US dollars.
