This agreement explains when and how you may use both Shareware and Registered Copies of software products from Crystal Software. In this agreement: * "Program" means the software product you have purchased or obtained for evaluation, including the software, associated documentation and other materials; * "Shareware Copy" means a copy of the Program distributed by us or by our authorised agents for evaluation purposes and which is described as an unregistered evaluation copy by the Program's "About" screen; * "Registered Copy" means a copy of the Program purchased from us or from a dealer, and which is described as an registered copy by the Program's "About" screen; * "we", "us", "our" refers to Crystal Software, a business based in Victoria, AUSTRALIA; and * "you" means the end user of the Program. (2) Legal Agreement. This is a legal agreement which allows you, the end user, to use the Program under certain terms and conditions. If you cannot agree to abide by what this agreement says you should not use or evaluate the Program. By using the Program you agree to abide by the terms and conditions stated herein. (3) Copyright. The Program is fully protected by copyright under federal law and international treaty provisions. (4) Evaluation Period. You may use a Shareware Copy of the Program for an evaluation period of up to 30 days, in order to determine whether the Program meets your needs before purchasing it. Once the evaluation period ends, you agree to either purchase a Registered Copy of the Program, or to stop using it. If you have ordered a Registered Copy of the Program from us or from a dealer, you may continue to use your Shareware Copy until your Registered Copy arrives. (5) Use of the Program. While you are evaluating the Program, you may use it on as many computers as are required to perform your evaluation. Your 30-day evaluation period begins when you first install the Program on one or more computers for evaluation purposes. Once the evaluation period is over and you purchase the Program, your use is subject to the following restrictions: (A) You agree not to install or use any single user copy of the Program on more than one computer at a time. However, you may install an individual copy simultaneously on one computer at work, one computer at home, and one portable computer, if all these computers are used primarily by the same individual, and there is no possibility that the computers will be in use at the same time except while you are actively transferring files between them. (If the Program was purchased by your employer you agree to get your employer's explicit permission before installing the Program on multiple computers as described above.) (B) If you purchased a server licence for the Program you agree not to install or use it on more than one network file server. The Program is identified as a server version by the Program's "About" screen. (C) If you purchased a site licence for the Program you may install it on every computer at just one postal address, usually one building. The Program is identified as a site version by the Program's "About" screen. (D) If you purchased a company licence for the Program you may install it on every computer that your company uses. The Program is identified as a company version by the Program's "About" screen. (6) Making and Distributing Shareware Copies of the Program. You may make copies of your Shareware Copy of the Program to give to others, as long as you include all of the files that you originally received with your Shareware Copy. When you give a Shareware Copy of the Program to another person, you agree to inform them that their copy is to be used for a time-limited evaluation period, and that they must purchase a Registered Copy if they continue to use the Program once the evaluation period has ended. You agree not to sell Shareware Copies of the Program or distribute them to others for any kind of compensation or fee unless the fee solely covers your costs in providing it to the end user. (7) Copying Registered Copies of the Program. When you receive a Registered Copy of the Program you may make copies of the Program software which are necessary for normal backup purposes. You agree not to make any other copies of the software, the documentation or other materials, or any part of them, or sell, give, or make available any copies to others, without our advance written permission. (8) Modification of the Program. You may not reverse-engineer, disassemble or modify the Program in any way. (9) Operation of the Program. The Program offers powerful capabilities. If you do not follow our instructions, or if you use the Program improperly, you can destroy files or cause other damage to your software and data. You assume full responsibility for the selection and use of the Program to achieve your intended results. (10) LIMITED WARRANTY: The following limited warranty applies to Registered Copies of the Program. It is included here so you understand what your warranty will be when you purchase a Registered Copy. This warranty does NOT apply to Shareware Copies of the Program. Physical Defects. We pledge that any disks and manuals we send you will arrive free of physical defects which interfere with normal use. If you find such a defect and report it to us within 30 days after you purchase the Program, we agree to replace the defective item(s) at no charge to you as long as the defect was not caused by misuse or abuse. Bugs and Program Errors. We don't promise that the Program will be free of bugs or program errors. If you report a program error or bug to us, we will use our best efforts to correct it. If we issue a release of the Program which includes a correction for an error you reported, we will send you a copy of that release at no charge (except for materials, postage and packing costs) if you request it. (11) DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS. And now the legal language we couldn't avoid: DISCLAIMER FOR SHAREWARE COPIES: YOU ARE NOT PAYING FOR THE TRIAL USE LICENCE FOR YOUR SHAREWARE COPY OF THE PROGRAM. ACCORDINGLY THE SHAREWARE COPY IS PROVIDED "AS-IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. DISCLAIMER FOR REGISTERED COPIES: Except for the limited warranty stated above, we disclaim any and all other warranties, express or implied, oral or written, including any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The limited warranty above gives you specific legal rights, but you may have other rights, depending on where you purchased the Program. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF USE OF THE PROGRAM OR YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US. SOME COUNTRIES OR STATES DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, THEREFORE THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
