Frontiers nd the BBS operator whose signature appears at the end of
this Agreement. In return for the limited right to use The New
Frontiers Shareware Explorer CD-ROM the BBS Licensee agrees to the
provisions of this License. This Agreement allows the BBS Licensee
to use The New Frontiers Shareware Explorer CD-ROM for the period
of one year from the date of this License.
1. New Frontiers CD-ROMS's copyright covers the research, editing,
organization and compilation aspects of New Frontiers Shareware

4. The BBS Licensee must have the capability, and agree, to deny access
to any program, or file on their BBS system that has been withdrawn
from The New Frontiers Shareware Explorer disc. Notification of

CD-ROM will be sent to Licensee. It is the responsibility of the
BBS Licensee to maintain their BBS according to the current
distribution status as reflected in those Notices.
5. BBS Licensee agrees not to download files and/or programs from the

disc onto other media, including, but not limited to, diskettes,
hard drives, magnetic tape or optical disc, for the intentional or

The BBS Licensee cannot side-step the issue of a sale by claiming
that they have only charged for consulting time, the cost of the

of The Shareware Explorer CD-Rom with any particular BBS system.
8. If Licensee violates any provisions of this Agreement, New Frontiers
can terminate this License and continued violations may possibly
lead to subsequent legal action by New Frontiers, among other
causes of action, for violation of New Frontiers License,
registered trademark(s) and/or copyright(s).
9. The License fee is as follows:
- $ 1 per year for any BBS system.
This minimal license fee is intended to cover the administrative
costs of notifying you of file defects, Author requested removals,
commercial programs, etc. Reasonable care has been taken in the
production of this CD-ROM disc, but rapid notification of any
potential problems is in the best interests of both the BBS
operator and the CD-ROM producer.
Each bulletin board system is only required to pay a single fee to
use any and all of our line of premium CD-ROM products.
For example, a purchaser of both volumes 1 & 2 of the MS DOS CD-ROM
who runs a BBS system will only pay a an annual fee of $1 to run
both CD-ROMS on his system. You need only pay once, but a seperate
license form must be completed and returned for each CD-ROM disc
you run on-line.

this CD-ROM disc. All licenses are non-transferrable.

gain knowledge of individuals or organizations that are violating
the terms of this License Agreement or New Frontiers copyright(s)
and/or trademark(s).

Licensee due to the violation of, or concerning, any of the
provisions of this Agreement, the Licensee shall be responsible for
all attorneys fees and related legal expenses, including, but not
