- JP SOFTWARE'S PLAIN ENGLISH SHAREWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
- AND LIMITED WARRANTY
-
- (1) Introduction. This agreement explains when and how you may use
- both shareware (trial) and registered (purchased) copies of software
- products from JP Software. In this agreement:
-
- >> "Program" means the JP Software software products(s) you have
- purchased or obtained for evaluation, including both the software
- and the associated documentation and other materials;
-
- >> "Shareware Copy" means a copy of the Program distributed by us or
- by our authorized agents for evaluation purposes and which is
- described as a trial or shareware copy in the Program's sign-on
- messages;
-
- >> "Registered Copy" means a copy of the Program purchased from us or
- from a dealer, and which is not described as a trial or
- shareware copy in the Program's sign-on messages;
-
- >> "Bundle" means a set of one or more Programs sold together as a
- "pack", "suite", or other similar term, all for use on the same
- computer;
-
- >> "we" or "us" means JP Software Inc., a corporation based in
- Arlington, Massachusetts, USA; and
-
- >> "you" means the end user of the Program.
-
- (2) Legal Agreement. This is a legal agreement which allows you, the
- end user, to use the Program under certain terms and conditions. If
- you cannot agree to abide by what this agreement says you should not
- use or evaluate the Program.
-
- (3) Copyright. The Program is fully protected by copyright under
- U.S. law and international treaty provisions.
-
- (4) Evaluation Period. You may use a Shareware Copy of the Program
- for an evaluation period of up to 21 days, in order to determine
- whether the program meets your needs before purchasing it. Once the
- evaluation period ends, you agree to either purchase a Registered
- Copy of the Program, or to stop using it. If you have ordered a
- Registered Copy of the Program from us or from a dealer, you may
- continue to use your Shareware Copy until your Registered Copy
- arrives.
-
- (5) Use of the Program. While you are evaluating the Program, you
- may use it on as many computers as are required to perform your
- evaluation. Your 21-day evaluation period begins when you first
- install the Program on one or more computers for evaluation purposes.
-
- Once the evaluation period is over and you purchase the program, your
- use is subject to the following restrictions:
-
- (A) You agree not to install or use any individual copy of the
- Program on more than one computer at a time. However, you may
- install an individual copy simultaneously on one computer at work,
- one computer at home, and one portable computer, IF (and ONLY if)
- all these computers are used primarily by the same individual, and
- there is no possibility that the computers will be in use at the
- same time except while you are actively transferring files between
- them. This provision is only for individual copies and does not
- apply to multi-system licenses. If the Program was purchased by
- your employer you agree to get your employer's explicit permission
- before installing the Program on multiple computers as described
- here.
-
- (B) If you purchased an individual copy of a Bundle containing more
- than one Program, you agree that all Programs in the Bundle will
- be used on the same computer. You may not use one Program or set
- of Programs from a Bundle on one computer, and at the same time use
- a different Program or set of Programs from the same Bundle on a
- second computer.
-
- (C) If you purchased a multi-system license for the Program or a
- Bundle you agree not to install or use the Program or Programs on
- more computers than the number included in your license, as shown
- on your order, payment, invoice, or other similar documentation;
- the program sign-on screen; or other electronic or printed
- documents received from us or our dealer.
-
- If your license is for a Bundle containing more than one Program,
- you agree that all Programs in the licensed Bundle will be used on
- the same computers. You may not split the Programs within the
- Bundle between different computers in a way which causes the total
- number of computers on which any Program from the Bundle is used
- or installed to exceed the number of systems included in your
- license.
-
- (6) Making and Distributing Shareware Copies of the Program. You may
- make copies of your Shareware Copy of the Program to give to others,
- as long as you include all of the files that you originally received
- with your Shareware Copy. When you give a Shareware Copy of the
- Program to another person, you agree to inform them that their copy
- is to be used for a time limited evaluation period, and that they
- must purchase a Registered Copy if they continue to use the Program
- once the evaluation period has ended. You agree not to sell
- Shareware Copies of the Program or distribute them to others for any
- kind of compensation or fee unless you abide by the restrictions in
- JP Software's VENDOR.DOC file.
-
- (7) Copying Registered Copies of the Program. When you receive a
- Registered Copy of the Program you may make copies of the Program
- software which are necessary for normal backup purposes. You agree
- not to make any other copies of the software, the manual(s), or any
- part of them, or sell or give any copies to others, without our
- advance written permission.
-
- (8) Operation of the Program. The Program offers powerful
- capabilities. If you do not follow our instructions, or if you use
- the Program improperly, you can destroy files or cause other damage
- to your software and data. You assume full responsibility for the
- selection and use of the Program to achieve your intended results.
-
- (9) LIMITED WARRANTY: The following limited warranty applies to
- Registered Copies of the Program. It is included here so you
- understand what your warranty will be when you purchase a Registered
- Copy. This warranty does NOT apply to Shareware Copies of the
- Program.
-
- Physical Defects. We pledge that the disks and manuals we send
- you will arrive free of physical defects which interfere with
- normal use. If you find such a defect and report it to us within
- 90 days after you purchase the Program, we agree to replace the
- defective item(s) at no charge to you as long as the defect was
- not caused by misuse or abuse.
-
- Bugs and Program Errors. We don't promise that the Program will
- be free of bugs or program errors. If you report a program error
- or bug to us, we will use our best efforts to correct it. If we
- issue a maintenance release for the Program which includes a
- correction for an error you reported, we will assist you in
- downlaoding it, or send you a copy of that maintenance release at
- no charge if you request it. We will only do this for maintenance
- releases, not for new major releases or other new versions of the
- Program.
-
- Satisfaction Guarantee. If you are dissatisfied with any product
- you buy from us under this Agreement for any reason, you may
- return it at any time up to 90 days after purchase and we will
- give you a refund. If the product is a JP Software product we
- will give you a full refund. If it is not a JP Software product
- we will give you a full refund if in our judgment the product is
- returned in complete, undamaged, and resellable condition, or a
- 50% refund if not. Refunds will be based on the price you paid,
- less shipping and rush order charges. You must contact us for a
- return authorization before returning any product for a refund.
- This satisfaction guarantee does not apply to multi-system
- licenses for more than 10 computers, or to purchases of more than
- 10 individual copies at one time.
-
- (10) DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS. And now the legal language we
- couldn't avoid:
-
- DISCLAIMER FOR SHAREWARE COPIES: YOU ARE NOT PAYING FOR THE TRIAL
- USE LICENSE FOR YOUR SHAREWARE COPY OF THE PROGRAM. ACCORDINGLY
- THE SHAREWARE COPY IS PROVIDED "AS-IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
- KIND.
-
- DISCLAIMER FOR REGISTERED COPIES: EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY
- STATED ABOVE, WE DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
- IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
- MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE LIMITED
- WARRANTY ABOVE GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, BUT YOU MAY HAVE
- OTHER RIGHTS, WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
-
- LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY
- INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER ARISING
- OUT OF USE OF THE PROGRAM OR YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US. SOME
- STATES DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR
- INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, THEREFORE THE ABOVE
- LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
