- 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. Show Partner
- Lite requires registration within 30 days of first use and, in
- return, you get a number of benefits (see the REGISTER.DOC
- file).
-
- 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
-
- Users of Show Partner Lite must accept this disclaimer of
- warranty:
-
- "Show Partner Lite is supplied as is. The author disclaims all
- warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation,
- the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
- The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or conse-
- quential, which may result from the use of Show Partner Lite."
-
- SHAREWARE LICENSE AND AGREEMENT
-
- Show Partner Lite is a "shareware program" and is provided at no
- charge to the user for evaluation. You may copy and distribute the
- program to whoever you wish provided that the disk or file
- containing Show Partner Lite contains all the files and nothing
- but the files. To distribute a copy of Show Partner Lite as part
- of a compilation or with some other software package or text file,
- you must must first contact Brightbill-Roberts & Company at the
- address or phone numbers listed above for permission.
-
- Brightbill-Roberts & Company will help you successfully install
- a copy of Show Partner Lite on your computer. If you need help
- installing Show Partner Lite, please call or write to the company's
- address or numbers listed above. Technical support for all other
- aspects of Show Partner Lite is guaranteed only to registered
- users. However, if during your evaluation period you need to ask
- a question in order to fully evaluate the product, feel free to
- contact Brightbill-Roberts for help. Its in both our interests that
- you are able to evaluate the product fully.
-
- 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 Show Partner Lite after a 30 day trial period, you must make
- a registration payment of $79.00 to Brightbill-Roberts & Company.
- Registration forms can be found in the text file ORDER.DOC.
-
- The $79.00 registration fee will license one copy for use on any
- one computer at any one time. You must treat the registered
- version of 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. Site licenses and other multiuser arrangements
- may be made by contacting Brightbill-Roberts & Company.
-
- Users of Show Partner Lite must register and pay for their copies
- of the program within 30 days of first use or their license to use
- Show Partner Lite is withdrawn.
-
- Registered users of Show Partner Lite will be entitled to upgrade
- pricing for Show Partner F/X, our top-of-the-line desktop present-
- ation product. The cost of upgrading to Show Partner F/X from Lite
- will not exceed 50% of the suggested retail price of the F/X package.
-
- Anyone distributing Show Partner Lite for any kind of remuneration
- must first contact Brightbill-Roberts & Company at the address
- above for authorization. This authorization will be automatically
- granted to ASP approved vendors. However, Brightbill-Roberts
- & Company must still be advised so that the distributor can be
- kept up-to-date with the latest version of Show Partner Lite.

-
- ASP OMBUDSMAN POLICY
-
- This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware
- Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle
- works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem
- with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able
- to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem
- with an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members'
- products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road,
- Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a Compuserve message via Compuserve Mail to
- ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536. The OMB may be contacted by FAX by sending to
- the ASP FAX number: (616) 788-2765. In communication with the OMB please
- include a telephone number and/or FAX if available.
