- 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.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.

-
- THIS SOFTWARE AND MANUAL ARE SOLD "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES AS TO
- PERFORMANCE OF MERCHANTABILITY OR ANY OTHER WARRANTIES WHETHER
- EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. BECAUSE OF THE VARIOUS HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
- ENVIRONMENTS INTO WHICH THIS PROGRAM MAY BE PUT, NO WARRANTY OF
- FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE IS OFFERED. GOOD DATA PROCESSING
- PROCEDURE DICTATES THAT ANY PROGRAM BE THOROUGHLY TESTED WITH NON-
- CRITICAL DATA BEFORE RELYING ON IT. THE USER MUST ASSUME THE ENTIRE
- RISK OF USING THE PROGRAM. ANY LIABILITY OF THE SELLER WILL BE LIMITED
- EXCLUSIVELY TO PRODUCT REPLACEMENT OR REFUND OF PURCHASE PRICE.

-
- Payment and Distribution
-
- XPNS 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 XPNS and continue to use
- XPNS after a 30 day trial period, you must make a registration payment
- of $20.00 (U.S. dollars) to Treeless Software and Design. The $20
- registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer at
- any one time.
-
- Commercial users of XPNS must register and pay for their copies of
- XPNS within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. Site-
- License arrangements may be made by contacting Treeless Software and
- Design.
-
- Anyone distributing XPNS for any kind of remuneration must first
- contact Treeless Software and Design for authorization. This
- authorization will be automatically granted to distributors recognized
- by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors,
- and such distributors may begin offering XPNS immediately (However
- Treeless Software and Design must still be advised so the distributor
- can be kept up-to-date with the latest version of XPNS.).
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of XPNS along to your friends for
- evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they find
- that they can use it. All registered users will receive a copy of the
- latest version of the XPNS system.
