"Trademark" means the mark "Apropos". The "Software"
means the program and related text files and printed
materials distributed by the Author under the
Trademark.
This Shareware Licence gives you a limited period to
evaluate the Software. It also tells you how you can
use the Software after the evaluation period ends,
and *encourages* you to distribute it so that others
can evaluate it. By using the Software you agree to
all of the terms, conditions and disclaimers in this
Licence.
OWNERSHIP
The Author owns, or has licenced from the owner, all
copyrights and trade secrets in the Software, and
owns the Trademark under which it distributes the
Software. Among other things, this means:
[1] The Software is not public domain software and
is not free. Your rights to it are only those
provided by this Licence.
[2] The rights granted by this Licence are on the
condition that you will not modify, reverse compile,
disassemble, or reverse engineer the Software, in
order to use or disclose any secret information of
the Author that it contains.
HOW AND WHY TO REGISTER
You may evaluate the Software for 30 days after you
first run any part of it on a computer.
To use the Software after your evaluation period
ends, you must register your use of the Software by
completing the USER REGISTRATION FORM and sending it
to the author together with the registration fee it
indicates.
iii
As a registered user of the Software, you have the
right to use the Software "just like a book". This
means you and any number of people can use it, and
it can be used on any number of machines, so long as
-- just like a book -- there is NO POSSIBILITY that
more than one copy will be used at a time. Please
contact us to learn about our special rates for site
and multiple user licences.
Use of the Software beyond the trial period is
copyright infringement unless you register and pay
us the registration fee. Such use also threatens the
continuation of the shareware revolution, which has
benefitted users by its "try before you buy"
philosophy and by slowing increases in software
prices. Shareware enables hardworking shareware
authors who don't have the marketing resources of a
large software company to market some of the best
and most innovative software to be found anywhere.
SHAREWARE IS GOOD FOR YOU -- IF YOU LIKE THE
SOFTWARE, PLEASE REGISTER YOUR COPY OF IT!
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF REMEDIES
[1] THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED TO ALL WHO RECEIVE IT
"AS-IS". NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, ARE MADE AS TO IT OR ANY MEDIUM IT MAY BE
ON, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
[2] ALL WHO RECEIVE THE SOFTWARE HAVE NO REMEDY FOR
INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL
DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE SOFTWARE DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, INCLUDING SUCH FROM NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY, OR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT, EVEN
FROM A PERSON WHO HAS NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES.
Some jurisdictions do not allow disclaimers of
implied warranties or the exclusion of consequential
damages, so the above disclaimers and exclusions may
not apply to you.
iv
MISCELLANEOUS
This Agreement [A] shall be governed in all respects
by the laws of the Province of Quebec as to its
validity, construction and performance, without
giving effect to the choice of law provisions
thereof; [B] constitutes the entire agreement of the
parties as to its subject matter and merges and
supersedes all prior discussions, agreements, and
understandings; and [C] may not be modified orally.
With respect to every matter arising under this
Agreement, the parties consent to the exclusive
jurisdiction and venue of the provincial and federal
courts sitting in Quebec City, Province of Quebec,
Canada.
