VENDOR.DOC file for TSR Download
The copying restrictions listed in this file apply to any individual, organ-
ization, user group, or business that charges ANY fee for the distribution of
the Shareware program TSR Download produced by Elfring Soft Fonts. TSR Down-
load along with its associated files and documentation is NOT in the public
domain. All programs and data files are Copyright 1988, 1989, 1990 by Elfring
Soft Fonts. All rights are reserved. Distribution restriction rights are
claimed under that copyright and are outlined below.
* No organization may sell the Shareware version of TSR Download without
prior written permission from Elfring Soft Fonts, the copyright holder. ASP
approved vendors may start distribution without prior approval, but must
still notify us in writing that they are distributing our product. To apply
for such permission send a written request to:
Elfring Soft Fonts
P.O. Box 61
Wasco, IL 60183
USA
* No organization may bundle the shareware version of TSR Download with any
other hardware or software product without the prior written permission of
Elfring Soft Fonts.
* Vendor standards expected of distributors are summarized in this file.
Under no condition will permission to distribute be given to any organ-
ization who does not agree to follow the standards. The vendor standards
are based on those established for vendor associate members of the Assoc-
iation of Shareware Professionals. ASP vendor members will be granted
permission to distribute TSR Download; if you are already a member of ASP,
please mention it in your request for distribution.
* TSR Download, when listed in vendors' catalogs, advertisements, brochures,
mailers, etc. must be named "TSR Download" and not some other pseudonym like
"Downloader", "font manager", or just "Download". Use of any other name
than "TSR Download" will constitute cause for revocation of distribution
rights.
* The TSR Download program and files may not be sold as part of some other
more inclusive package without the express permission of Elfring Soft Fonts.
* TSR Download must not be distributed with other Shareware or public domain
programs on the same disk. However, TSR Download may be included in librar-
ies sold on CD-ROM disks.
* Under no conditions will TSR Download be "rented" or leased to others.
* Any distribution of TSR Download over bulletin boards and/or national tel-
ecommunication services will be limited to distributing a single archived
file containing the contents of the entire distribution disk.
The shareware registration fee for TSR Download is $45.00. All payments must
be made in U.S. Funds. Shipping and Handling is an additional $4.00 for
domestic customers, $5.50 for Canada & Mexico, and $8.00 for all other cus-
tomers. Payment may be with VISA or MASTERCARD, postal money order, and
checks, in which the amount must be expressed in U.S. Funds and drawn on a
U.S. Bank.
==============================================================================
The following is a summary of ASP vendor standards. This summary is just that,
a summary, and is not to be taken as a statement of the entire set of ASP
standards.
Advertising:
All vendor advertisements and brochures must state that "Shareware programs
require separate payment to authors if found useful." This statement must
immediately follow the price or be tied to the price via an asterisk.
Catalogs:
Vendors will attempt to educate users on the nature of Shareware. The
following points must be covered in any catalog of disks:
* The fee paid to the vendor is a copying and distribution charge and
does not cover the cost of the program itself.
* If the user finds a Shareware program to be of use, he/she is expected
to send the registration fee to the author.
* Registration entitles the user to various rights and benefits (depending
on the author). These range from the legal right to continue using the
software, to printed documentation and/or higher levels of service.
Distribution:
* Vendors will respect the copyright and all distribution restrictions made
by individual authors, usually found in the file VENDOR.DOC [this file] on
the disk.
* Vendors will provide a written notice covering the three concepts above
with all Shareware programs shipped. If disks are prepackaged, the notice
must be on a visible part of the package.
* Vendors will not change or delete ANY files supplied with the program
unless authorized by the author. Small additions designed to assist the
user may be added if the author does not specifically prohibit such action.
* Vendors agree to stop distributing a program, including earlier versions,
if requested by the author.
Again, the above is a SUMMARY of the ASP vendor standards. In order to dis-
tribute TSR Download you must agree to abide by these standards whether you
are an ASP member or not. If you are interested in becoming an ASP-approved
vendor, please contact:
Association of Shareware Professionals
Vendor Certification Committee
P.O. Box 5786
Bellevue, WA 98006
We strongly recommend that you consider becoming an ASP approved vendor if you
have not already done so. The ASP vendor member program reduces the workload
for both authors and vendors alike, and helps give customers confidence that
reasonable standards are met in the distribution of Shareware products.
