2. What is Shareware?
================================================================
Definition of Shareware
-----------------------
Shareware is a distibution method, not a type of software.
The author gives the user a chance to try the software for a
limited time before buying it. If the user likes the software
and wants to continue using it after the trial period, he
must make a registration payment. With the registration, he
gets anything, from the simple right to continue using the
software with no function limitations and no nag screens, to
more game levels etc.
Caution! The fee paid to the disk vendor, or the price for the
CD-ROM is not to be mixed up with the registration payment.
Commercial software and sharware in comparision:
------------------------------------------------
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 lies in the method of distibution.
Both, commercial authors and shareware authors, have got the
same copyright laws. All rights belong to the copyright holders.
There are some exceptions. The shareware 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 the software.
Shareware programs are mostly cheaper than commercial programs,
because there are no costs for advertising, in between
transactions, storing a.s.o.
The shareware author is a special communication partner for the
user and he is thankful for all suggestions. The users have
influence on the further development of the program.
The shareware concept allows the fast circulation of the
software. So it is possible to react quickly on faults and on
users' wishes.
Three main points for the success of the shareware-concept:
-----------------------------------------------------------
1. The authors are responsible for the quality and variety
of their products.
2. The shareware vendors are responsible for distribution and
advertising.
3. The users' registration's moral decides wether this special
distribution concept is successful or not.
================================================================
3. Disclaimer of warranties
================================================================
The author disclaims all warranties, either expressed or
implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of
merchantibility or fitness for a particular purpose or
hardware configuration, with respect to the product.
Should the program prove defective, the user assumes the risk
paying the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair or
correction and any incidental or consequential damages.
In no event will the author be liable for any damages
whatsoever - including without limitations damages for loss
of business profits, business interruptions, loss of business
information and the like - arising out of the use or the
inability to use this product even if the author has been
advised of the possibility of such damages.
The author will try to correct errors of the program fast
as possible. He is thankful for hints at program errors,
but cannot guarantee their elimination.
================================================================
4. Licence agreement for users
================================================================
This program is a shareware program. It is copyrighted by the
author. You as user are allowed to test the trial-version of
this program for a period of 30 days and check if it's what
you expected. If you intend to continue using it, you must
order the program by making a registration payment to the
author.
For ordering use the assistant in the program, which will
generate an order form. After payment the author will send
you a personal registration code. Enter this code in the
Shareware-Dialog, which appears when you start the program.
The trial-version of the program will be converted to the
full-version.
This full-version you may use on any one computer at any one
time. This means, it may be moved from one computer location
to another, so long as there is no possibility of it being
used at any location while it's being used at another. Just
like a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
same time.
================================================================
5. Distribution by vendors
================================================================
This program is a shareware program. Don't describe it as
public domain or freeware in your catalog. This program is
copyrighted by the author. The trial-version of this program
is allowed to be copied, sold for a small fee, distributed
on CD-ROM and uploaded to mailboxes and internet servers.
Keep all files together when distibuting. Do not change any
of the files. Do not add files. Please distribute only the
latest version, which can be downloaded from the internet-
homepage of the author (www.crazybytes.at).
If you distribute the program on CD-ROM, it would be nice
to get an example CD-ROM.
Please use the program description in the file FILE-ID.DIZ
for your catalog.
