-
- The program distributor, John Newlin, is an active member of the
- Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). The ASP wants to make
- sure that the Shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to
- resolve a Shareware related problem with an ASP member by contacting the
- member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you
- resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide
- technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP
- Ombudsman at P.O. Box 5786, Bellevue, WA 98006 or send a Compuserve

- DISCLAIMER
-
- New-Ware hereby disclaims all warranties relating to this product,
- whether express or implied, including without limitation any implied
- warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. New-
- Ware cannot and will not be liable for any special, incidental,
- consequential, indirect or similar damages due to loss of data or any
- other reason, even if New-Ware or an authorized New-Ware agent has been
- advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall the
- liability for any damages ever exceed the price paid for the license to
- use software, regardless of the form and/or extent of the claim. The
- user of this program bears all risk as to the quality and performance of
- the software.
-
- LICENSE
-
- PowerChess is a Shareware product. As such, it is made available to
- the general computing public for evaluation. Users are licensed to
- operate PowerChess on their personal computers for the purpose of test
- and evaluation on a trial basis for a limited trial period. It is not
- possible to reasonably define any definitive limits of a fair and
- equitable time period for evaluation, therefore it is left to the user's
- judgement and sense of fair play as to the time required to make a
- decision as to its usefulness. If the user decides the program is not
- of sufficient merit to warrant purchase through registration with New-
- Ware, the program should be removed from their personal computer.
- Otherwise, if the program is deemed useful and is in regular use on the
- user's personal computer system, registration with New-Ware is required.
-
- Registered users are those users that elect to pay for PowerChess
- and register that payment with New-Ware. By virtue of registration and
- payment for the program, registered users are granted a license to
- continue to utilize the program on their personal computer for as long
- as they choose. This license authorizes the user to use the program on
- any personal computer system he or she may own so long as the program is
- operated on only one computer system at a time. The registration fee
- for PowerChess is $30.00.
-
-
- 2 - REGISTRATION
-
-
- PowerChess is distributed by New-Ware Shareware products. The
- Shareware version may be freely copied and transferred to individual
- parties for evaluation purposes. It may be posted on Bulletin Board
- systems (BBS) for electronic access as long as NO FEE is charged for its
- distribution except for private BBS operations that charge a regular
- user subscription fee. Computer information services such as SUMMIT,
- Compuserve (CIS), Genie, etc., are authorized to post this product for
- subscriber access. PowerChess may NOT be distributed on diskette by any
- disk distributor/vendor that charges more than $12.00 for the diskette
- upon which the program and attendant files are recorded without written
- consent from New-Ware.
-
- PowerChess is a fully functional Shareware product. Shareware is a
- computer program distribution/marketing method that permits potential
- buyers to thoroughly try the program prior to purchase. It is NOT free
- and it is not in the Public Domain. If, after evaluating the program,
- you find it to be useful enough to use it on a regular basis, you are
- expected to pay for it by registering with New-Ware. The registration
- fee is $35.00 and the registered version, which is NOT distributed as
- Shareware, will not contain the opening Shareware screen nor the closing
- messages.
-
- The Shareware version of Powerchess is distributed with a library of
- 30 pre-programmed opening moves. Registered copies are distributed with
- a library of 280 opening moves. The registered opening move library is
- dynamic in that is is constantly growing. It is expected that this
- library will eventually increase to over 1000 moves. Registered users
- may upgrade to a later (larger) opening move library by contacting
- New-Ware Shareware products. A shipping and handling fee of $5.00 is
- required library updates.
-

-
- I support my software. One of the great strengths of the Shareware
- concept is the interaction between the program author and the users.
- Many of the features contained in PowerChess are the result of user
- input. If you have a problem evaluating this program or desire to make
- a suggestion or comment (or even a complaint), please do not hesitate to
- contact me. Even if you register PowerChess, if you later determine that
- it is unsuitable for your use, you may contact me for a refund. It is
- not necessary that you be a registered user to contact me for technical
- support. Technical support will be available through the U.S mail,
- telephone, or the New-Ware BBS.
