╒═══════════════════╕
│ I. GENERAL TERMS. │
╘═══════════════════╛
│ 1. Distribution by electronic means: │
╘══════════════════════════════════════╛
Metropolis grants you the right to distribute the Software by electronic means
(BBS, FTP, etc.) as long as no files are altered or removed. If a distribution
fee is charged for the Software, you must additionally ensure that:
a) Metropolis Software House is credited as the publisher of the Software;
b) The Software is identified as shareware;
c) The shareware concept is explained adequately elsewhere online;
d) You charge less than $10 for downloading the Software.
│ 2. Distribution of single programs by floppy disk: │
╘════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
Shareware vendors may distribute the Software alone on a floppy disk if the
following conditions are met:
a) You explain the shareware concept and describe the Software as shareware.
(Shareware is "try-before-you-buy" software, and the price paid by users
for shareware is a distribution charge only);
b) You credit Metropolis Software House as the publisher of the Software in
all catalogue descriptions and any other written descriptions;
c) You sell the Software for less that $10, and only sell the most current
version of it;
d) If you want, you may include your own installation routines with the
Software;
e) Other than installation routines, no other programs may be included on
the floppy disk that contains the Software, i.e. no bundling or multi-
program diskettes;
f) No files are modified or deleted.
│ 3. CD-Roms and multi-disk packs: │
╘══════════════════════════════════╛
You may commercially distribute the Software on a CD-Rom or a pack of several
disks (through mail-order, wholesale, retail, or any other channels), as long
as following conditions are met:
a) You explain the shareware concept and describe the Software as shareware;
b) You credit Metropolis Software House as the publisher of the Software in
all catalogues and the Software descriptions;
c) The entire CD-Rom or collection may contain no more than a total of 20
programs (not including installation routines and support utilities);
d) The front-cover packaging must contain the word "Shareware" in large type;
e) The name "Metropolis", as well as the name of the Software must appear on
the front-cover packaging in large type;
f) No files may be modified or deleted;
g) You must send us a copy of the CD-Rom or the multi-disk package as soon as
it has been manufactured.
Reasons for these conditions are that we do not think 10,000-program CD is
neither good for Metropolis nor users. You can achieve good sales manufacturing
small, high-quality CD-Rom; it will also help assure that our Software receives
the exposure it deserves.
│ 4. Any distribution in a retail environment: │
╘══════════════════════════════════════════════╛
Any party wishing to sell Epic MegaGames products in a retail environment must
meet all of the above conditions that apply, in addition to the following:
a) The following must be included in large type on the front cover of all
packaging: The name "Metropolis Software House", the name of the Software,
and the word "Shareware";
b) You must send us a copy of your packaging as soon as the packaging has been
manufactured.
│ 5. Bundling with hardware: │
╘════════════════════════════╛
You may bundle the Software with new hardware (computers, sound cards, etc.)
as long as you do not modify or delete any Software files, and as long as you
provide the shareware programs free of charge (i.e. at no additional cost) to
the user when the hardware is purchased.
If you'd like more information about OEM and hardware bundling opportunities,
please contact us. We would welcome the opportunity to work with hardware
manufacturers and resellers.
│ 6. Other distribution opportunities: │
╘══════════════════════════════════════╛
Please contact us if you would like to distribute Metropolis software in a new
and unique way. We are open to suggestions, and we appreciate new and unique
forms of distribution as a way of reaching new customers.
│ 7. Violation of the agreement: │
╘════════════════════════════════╛
You may distribute the Software in other ways than those described in this
agreement only with express, written permissiom given by Metropolis.
If you distribute the Software in violation of the terms of this agreement,
you are liable to Metropolis for damages of not less than $1 per copy
distributed or the registration fee, whichever is greater.
