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 a 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.
The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because
you can try before you buy. 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.
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of Magic Zoom Screen Saver must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"Magic Zoom Screen Saver is supplied AS IS. The author disclaims all
warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation,
the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or conse-
quential, which may result from the use of Magic Zoom Screen Saver."
Remember 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 Magic Zoom Screen Saver and
continue to use Magic Zoom Screen Saver after a reasonable trial
period, you must make a registration payment of $8.00 to Lorenzo
Pasqualis. The registration fee will license one copy for use
on any one computer at any one time. You must treat this software
just like a book. An example is that this software may be used by
any number of people and may be freely moved from one computer
location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it
being used at one location while it's being used at another.
Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
same time.
Commercial users of Magic Zoom Screen Saver must register and pay
for their copies of Magic Zoom Screen Saver within 21 days of first
use or their license is withdrawn. Site-License and World-Wide
arrangements may be made.
You are encouraged to pass a copy of Magic Zoom Screen Saver 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 personal key code and information about the latest
version of the Magic Zoom Screen Saver system.
