- JP SOFTWARE'S PLAIN ENGLISH SHAREWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
-
-
- (This file is formatted at 58 lines per page, and can be printed by
- copying it to the printer with the command COPY LICENSE.DOC PRN).
-
-
- (1) Introduction. This agreement explains when and how you may use
- both shareware and registered 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 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 shareware copy
- in the Program's sign-on messages;
-
- * "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 copyrighted under US law and
- international treaty provisions. You agree that your use of the
- Program is subject to these laws, which prohibit unauthorized copying
- or duplication of the Program software, documentation, and other
- materials.
-
- (4) Evaluation Period. You may use a Shareware Copy of the Program
- for an evaluation period of up to 21 days. The purpose of this
- evaluation period is to allow you to determine whether the program
- meets your needs before purchasing it. Once the evaluation period has
- ended, 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 beyond the end of the 21-day evaluation period 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:
-
- Individual Copies: You agree not to install and use an individual
- Registered Copy of the Program on more than one computer at a time.
- However, we agree to an exception to this rule if you meet the
- conditions described in the rest of this paragraph. You may
- install your individual copy simultaneously on one computer at
- work, one computer at home, and one portable computer, 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. If
- the Program was purchased by your employer you agree to get your
- employer's explicit permission before installing the Program on
- multiple systems as described in this paragraph.
-
- Multi-System Licenses and Network Use. You agree to purchase
- multiple individual copies or a multi-system license before using
- the Program simultaneously on more than one computer. When you
- purchase a multi-system license you agree not to use the Program on
- more computers than the number included in your license, as shown
- on your invoice, the program sign-on screen, or other documents
- from us. You may install the Program on computers attached to a
- network, or remove it from one computer and install it on a
- different one, provided there is NO POSSIBILITY that your copy will
- be installed or used on more computers than it is licensed for. If
- you have a network, you don't need to include every computer
- attached to the network in your license, but you must include every
- computer on which the Program is installed or used, regardless of
- whether the user of the computer happens to know that the Program
- is in use on their system. If you have single computers which
- allow multiple users to use the Program simultaneously, you must
- count each keyboard or terminal separately when determining how
- many computers are using the Program.
-
- (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, as listed in the README.DOC file included
- 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 are a shareware disk vendor approved by
- the US-based Association of Shareware Professionals, are a non-profit
- User Group, or have received written permission from us; and your
- permission to distribute the Program has not been revoked by us; and
- you charge a fee of US $12 or less per copy (excluding shipping
- costs). You also agree not to sell printed copies of any
-
-

-
-
- documentation for the Program under any circumstances.
-
- (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. However you
- agree not to make any copies of the printed manual(s) which come with
- the Program without explicit written permission from us. You also
- agree not to give your Registered Copy of the Program to others for
- any purpose. This means that you may not sell or give away copies of
- a Registered Copy of the Program or any part of it in any way,
- including bundling or re-selling the Program with your own software,
- or placing such a copy of the Program in any disk library or on any
- bulletin board or electronic service.
-
- (8) Operation of the Program. JP Software's products are powerful
- programs. While we have attempted to build in reasonable safeguards,
- if you do not use them properly you may destroy files or cause other
- damage to your computer 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.
-
- 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 judgement the product is returned in an
- undamaged, resalable condition, or a 50% refund if not. Refunds
- will be based on the price you paid, with shipping costs excluded.
- You must contact us 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 a time.
-
- 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, and you agree that bugs or program
- errors will not be considered "physical defects" in the program.
- We agree that if you report a program error or bug to us, we will
- use our best efforts to correct it. We also agree that if we can
-
-
- ______________________________________________________________________
- JP Software License Agreement page 3
-
-
- verify and correct the error you report, and we then issue a
- maintenance release for the Program which includes the correction,
- we will send you a copy of that maintenance release at no charge if
- you request it. However we will only do this for maintenance
- releases, not for new major releases or other new versions of the
- Program.
-
- (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 FOR REGISTERED COPIES OF THE PROGRAM, 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. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW A LIMITATION ON
- HOW LONG A WARRANTY LASTS, SO SUCH LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO
- YOU.
-
- LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR SHAREWARE AND REGISTERED COPIES. 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, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY OR ALL
- DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF
- INFORMATION OR ANY PECUNIARY LOSS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF
- THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW
- EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR
- CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, THEREFORE THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY
- TO YOU. THE REFUND, REPLACEMENT AND ATTEMPTED REPAIR REMEDIES FOR
- REGISTERED COPIES STATED IN THE "LIMITED WARRANTY" SECTION ABOVE
- SHALL BE YOUR SOLE REMEDY FOR ANY AND ALL PROGRAM DEFECTS, PROGRAM
- ERRORS, OR DOCUMENTATION ERRORS.
