1. 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. With
registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
1.1 Copyright
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.
1.2 Licence
ImgFun is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your
friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of
another system. 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 ImgFun and continue to use
ImgFun after a reasonable trial period, you must make a
registration payment of $35.00 to Speedy Software. The $35.00
registration fee will license one copy for use on any one
computer at any one time. You must treat 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.

1.3 DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of ImgFun must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"ImgFun is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties,
expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the
warranties of merchant ability and of fitness for any purpose.
The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or
consequential, which may result from the use of ImgFun".
1.4 Try before you pay
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.
1.5 PRIVILEGES FOR REGISTRATION
You are encouraged to pass a copy of ImgFun along to your
friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
copies if they find that they can use it. Registered users will
receive a copy of the latest version of ImgFun+ some bonus
utilities developed from the feed back of users. At this
date of writing , the bonus includes stand alone jpeg to
gif, and gif to jpeg programs, a print out program for Epson
compatible dot matrix printers, and a print out program for HP
laser jets or compatibles and the complete LHA and LZEXE packages
for excellent lossless data compression. This package is
packed to serve the need of data compression to let you regain
precious disk space in your system, and also let you enjoy the
results of the latest development in ImgFun for your computer
images.
1.6 Commercial Users
Commercial users of ImgFun must register and pay for their
copies of ImgFun within 21 days of first use or their licence is
withdrawn. Site-Licence arrangements can be made by contacting
Speedy Software.
