ASSOCIATION OF SHAREWARE PROFESSIONALS - VENDOR GUIDELINES

VENDOR ADVERTISING
------------------
All vendor advertisements that offer Shareware for sale and list a
price, offer Shareware as a promotion for any commercial venture, or
use Shareware as an enticement for the user to pay for any product or
service must state that "Shareware programs are copyrighted, and
require additional payment to the authors if used regularly". This
explanation must immediately follow the price (including "free" if
used) or be tied to the price with an asterisk.
VENDOR CATALOGS
---------------
Approved vendors will identify ASP member's programs with an "ASP"
notation and an explanation such as: "ASP indicates the program is
being actively supported by a programmer who has agreed to comply
with the standards of programming and support of the Association of
Shareware Professionals."
Approved vendors will make an attempt to educate users on the nature
of Shareware. A suggested wording to be placed in the catalog is:
"Charges made by us are a distribution fee paid to us and do not
include the cost of the program itself. None of the fees paid to us
goes to the programs' authors. Some of the programs are Shareware.
The principle behind Shareware is that users should have the
oppurtunity to try out software before paying for it and that those
that use software should support it with payments. Some Shareware
programs allow a fixed length trial period, others an indefinite trial
period. Some programs request a payment, while others make it a
requirement. This payment provides you with various rights and
benefits, depending on the program. Some programs only give you the
legal right to continue to use the software while others provide
printed documentation and/or higher levels of service."
VENDOR DISTRIBUTION
-------------------
Approved vendors will respect the copyright and all distribution
restrictions made by individual authors, even if those restrictions
are not specifically covered in this document.
Approved vendors will not claim to be selling the programs, and
will explain that the fee charged is a copying/handling fee (none
of which goes to the author of the program). A written notice to
this effect will be provided with all Shareware programs shipped.
If the vendor distributes Shareware in pre-packaged wrappers, then
this notice must be on the OUTSIDE (visible) part of the package.
Approved vendors will not change the contents of or delete ANY files
supplied with the program. Vendors may make small additions which
are designed to assist or provide a service to the user, but these
additions must be easily identifiable and end-users must be allowed
to delete the additions if they want to.
Approved vendors agree to distribute the most recent versions of
ASP member's programs which have been made available to them by
the author. Approved vendors also agree to pull a program from
their library when requested by the author to do so.
