Legal Documentation

SoundTrans is a sound format translation tool for Psion5 and
other EPOC machines. The tool can directly play and convert
between a number of sound file formats, including EPOC sound
files and Wave files, as commonly used on PC. A command line
version is also available for PCs, running under Windows.

SoundTrans is supplied subject to the License Agreement below.
You will be asked as to whether you agree with the contents of
this file during installation. You may prefer to print it out
first. Note that by installing the application you are accepting
the terms of the agreement. Do not install the application if
you do not wish to accept the terms of the licence.

SoundTrans is produced by Treesoft but is distributed solely by
RMR Software. Other programs available from RMR Software are
listed below.

Installation and User Guide

SoundTrans itself is installed by installing the
"SoundTrans.sis" file via the "Install New Program" option of
PsiWin 2.1 - just opening the file normally invokes this.
Alternatively you can transfer it to the a Psion and use the
"Add/remove" control panel that is normally installed as part of
the Message Suite installation - these tools can be downloaded
separately from http://www.psion.com/downloads/epoc32 if
required. A second module, TreesoftSupport will also be created.
Normally this is invisible, but you may get a dialogue that you
have a later version installed and asking whether to continue.
This should only come about if you have installed other software
by Treesoft, and you should not install an old version or that
software might cease to work.

Installation will create a folder \System\Apps\SoundTrans that
contains the program files - TreesoftSupport.dll and
TreesoftActivedll will be installed in C:\System\Libs.
SndTransRec.rdl will be installed in \System\Recs. These take
about 175K of file space. A folder "C:\Documents\SoundTrans Doc"
will be created that holds a copy of this file and related
documentation. Note that these documentation  files can be
removed if space is tight û their absense will not prevent
SoundTrans from working.

Once installed you can find out more about SoundTrans by opening
it from Extras, then running the Help command under the Tools
menu. In particular you might like to look at the tutorial page.

In uninstall SoundTrans, use the Add/Remove control panel. This
will remove the program files, which includes the documentation
files from C:\Documents. It will not remove any data files
created using SoundTrans.

Registration

SoundTrans can be freely used for an evaluation period of up to
28 days. After that, you must register your copy to continue
using it. The cost is ú12 (US$20 / 40DM / 20 Euros). There are

grants you, the Licensee, a non-exclusive licence to install and
run the Software provided with the Agreement subject to the
following terms.  All references to the Software mean the binary
code only of the program comprising the Software.

(i)    During the Evaluation Period (as defined at paragraph 3
below) but not thereafter, the Licensee may use the Software for
any number of computers under the Licensee's control for the
Licensee's own personal or professional use, copy the Software
for backup or archival purposes, demonstrate the software to
other people and give copies to other potential users, providing
the Software is supplied in its entirety including with this
Agreement;

(ii)    The Licensee may  modify, translate, reverse engineer,
de-compile, disassemble, including removal of any time limiting
or registration protection mechanism (save that the Licensee may
de-compile the Software only to the extent permitted by the EC
Software Directive as enacted by the Copyright, Design and
Patents Act 1988 as amended where this is indispensable to
obtain the information necessary to achieve the interoperability
of an independently created program with the Software or with
another program and such information is not readily available
from the Licensor or elsewhere); or create derivative work based
upon the Software, sell distribute, rent, loan or sub-license
this Software, or otherwise transfer rights to the Software or
remove any proprietary copyright notices.

(iii)    If the Licensee decides to use the Software after the
Evaluation Period by paying the Registration Fee in accordance
with paragraph 4 below, the Licensee must pay for separate
registration keys in respect of each computer under the
Licensee's control on which the Licensee wishes to use the
Software.

(iv)    Subject to clause (i) above, the Licensee may not permit
other individuals to use the Software and shall not divulge the
registration key to any third party whatsoever. Breach of this
term entitles the Licensor to claim damages against the Licensee
and to take all steps to terminate or prevent use of the
Software by the Licensee. Not withstanding the forgoing, the
Licensee may give copies of the Software to other potential
users, provided that the registration key is not so distributed
and the Software is supplied in its entirety including with this
Agreement.

2. Title

This Software is protected by English copyright law and
international treaty provisions.  Except where stated otherwise,
all title, copyright, ownership, rights and other proprietary
rights, in and to this Software shall remain with the Licensor.
The Licensee acknowledges that no title, copyright, ownership
rights or other proprietary rights to this Software shall be
vested in the Licensee, and that title, ownership, rights and
other intellectual property rights will remain the exclusive
property of the Licensor.

3. Duration

Save as provided in Paragraph 13, this Agreement entitles the
Licensee to evaluate the Software free of charge for 28 days
from the date of installation of the Software by the Licensee
("the Evaluation Period"). The Licensee accepts that the
Software will expire after 28 days and that the Licensee will
have no entitlement to use it after that date and agrees not to
use it after that date, save as provided at Paragraph 4 and at
Paragraph 12 below.

4. Registration Fee

If, before the expiration of the Evaluation Period of a
Registerable version of this Software, the Licensee decides that
it wishes to use the Software after the Evaluation Period, the
Licensee shall pay a registration fee to the Licensor or the
Licensor's appointed agent, of the amount specified from time to
time on the Treesoft website. Currently the EPOC version of
SoundTrans is priced at US$20, or equivalent, and the sole
appointed agent is RMR Software. Upon receipt of the
Registration Fee, the Licensor or the Licensor's appointed agent
shall send to the Licensee a registration key to unlock the
Software which the Licensee agrees may only be used on one
computer.

5. No Warranty

Save as provided for in Paragraph 13, the Licensor warrants to
the original Licensee and then only in cases where the Licensee
has pain a Registration Fee that the Software when used properly
will provide the functions and facilities and will perform
substantially as described in the manual supplied for the
Software. The Licensor's obligation and the Licensee's exclusive
remedy under this Warranty is limited either:

(i)    to the Licensor at its own expense using all reasonable
endeavours to rectify any non-conformance with the warranty by
repair (by way of a patch workaround correction or otherwise)
within a reasonable period of time or at the Licensor's option
replacement of the Software in whole or in part; or

(ii)    to a refund of the License paid if, in the Licensor's
reasonable opinion, it is unable to rectify such non-conformance
within a reasonable time scale or at an economic cost upon which
the License shall terminate.

6. Exclusion of Other Warranties

The Licensor does not warrant that the Licensee's use of the
Software will be uninterrupted or the operation of the Software
will be error free or secure. It is the Licensee's
responsibility to ensure that the Software is suitable for its
needs and the entire risk as to the performance of the Software
is assumed by the Licensee. In the light of the various
environments in which the Software may be used, the Licensor
hereby disclaims all other warranties, conditions or
representations with respect to the Software, statutory or
otherwise, either express or implied, including, but not limited
to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a
particular purpose (save as may not lawfully excluded by any
relevant applicable law including but without limitation the
Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977), and non-infringement of third
party rights.

7. Limitation of Liability

In the light of the fact that no software is completely bug
free, and for the Evaluation Period the Software is supplied
free of charge, the Licensor shall not be liable, (save as
provided at Paragraph 5 above) whether in tort, contract or any
other legal basis whatsoever to the Licensee or any other person
for any loss or damage arising by virtue of the Licensee's use
of the Software, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any
direct, special, incidental or consequential damage of any
nature including without limitation damages for loss of
goodwill, work stoppage, loss of profits, loss of contracts,
loss of or corruption of data, computer function or malfunction,
loss of business or any other damage or loss whatsoever even if
the Licensor shall have been informed of the possibility of such
loss or damage save that the Licensor accepts liability to the
extent that such liability cannot lawfully be excluded, for
example, pursuant to Section 2 of the Unfair Contract Terms Act
1977.

8. Termination

Save as provided for in Paragraph 13, this Agreement shall
terminate automatically upon the expiration of the Evaluation
Period unless the Licensor shall have paid a Registration Fee in
accordance with paragraph 4 above. This agreement shall also
terminate automatically if the Licensee fails to comply with the
terms of this Agreement. In such a case, the Licensee's
obligation not to use the Software after the Evaluation Period
in accordance with Paragraph 3 or this Agreement, shall remain
valid and enforceable and the Licensor shall be entitled to take
such steps as are necessary to prevent the Licensor from using
the Software and to claim damages for any unauthorised use.

9. Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of England and
Wales without regard to conflicts of law provisions and the
Licensor and the Licensee hereby consent to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Courts of England and Wales.  All disputes
arising from this Agreement shall be submitted to the English
High Court.

10. Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the
Licensee and the Licensor with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and supersedes all prior oral or written understandings,
communications or agreements.  This Agreement may not be varied
except in writing signed by the Licensor and the Licensee.  The
use of the licence is expressly made conditional on the consent
of the Licensee to the terms set out herein.

11. Severability

If any part of this Agreement is found by a Court of competent
jurisdiction or other competent authority to be invalid,
unlawful or unenforceable then such part will be severed from
the remainder of this Agreement which will continue to be valid
and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12. TreesoftSupport Module

This paragraph applies only to installations on Psion Series5
and other EPOC machines.

The software makes use of a shared software module,
TreesoftSupport ("TreesoftSupport"). TreesoftSupport is
automatically installed as part of the Software's installation,
unless a later version of TreesoftSupport is already installed
on the system in question. In that case, "TreesoftSupport" means
that later version.

TreesoftSupport is an integral part of the Software, use of
which is permitted pursuant to this Agreement and all terms of
this Agreement shall apply to it.

Not withstanding the forgoing, the Licensor agrees that:

(i)    The Licensee may use TreesoftSupport with other Treesoft
products that require its use in respect of which the Licensee
has entered into a valid licence agreement with the Licensor
("Other Treesoft Products").

(ii)    Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, or
upon the Licensee uninstalling the Software, which ever occurs
sooner, the Licensee may continue to use and not uninstall
TreesoftSupport, providing the Licensee requires TreesoftSupport
for use with Other Treesoft Products.

Nothing in the above shall permit the Licensee to use
TreesoftSupport with any programs not supplied by the Licensor.

Where the Licensee continues to use TreesoftSupport after
termination of this Agreement or uninstallation of the Software,
the terms of the licence agreement applicable to the Other
Treesoft Products shall apply to the use of TreesoftSupport.

13. Beta Software

Where this Software is denoted Beta, special exclusions and
conditions apply, as described below.

Where this Software is denoted a Successor to a Registerable
version ("the Parent Version"), then the registration conditions
of the Parent Version apply equally to this Software: on expiry
of the Evaluation Period of this Software or the Parent Version,
whichever is sooner, the Licensee must register the Parent
Version in order to continue to use this Software too. However,
even if the Parent Version has been registered, the warranty of
Paragraph 5 does not apply to this Software, reflecting the fact
that it is test software.

Alternatively if this Software has a defined Expiry Date, then
both the Evaluation Period as described in Paragraph 3 and
Registration as described in Paragraph 4 do not apply. Instead
users are allowed to evaluate the Software free of charge until
the Expiry Date on which this Agreement will terminate, save for
as provided at Paragraph 12. The warranty of Paragraph 5 does
not apply to this Software.
