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 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. You
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether
it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your
needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And 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 Inventory Interface must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
Inventory Interface 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 consequential,
which may result from the use of Inventory Interface."
Inventory Interface 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 Inventory Interface and continue to use Inventory Interface
after 45 days, you must make a registration payment of US$135.00 to
Data Interface. The US$135.00 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.
Users of Inventory Interface must register and pay for their copies
of Inventory Interface within 45 days of first use or their license
is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by con- tacting
Data Interface.
Anyone distributing Inventory Interface for any kind of remuneration
must first contact Data Interface at the address below for
authorization. This authorization will be automatically granted to
distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines
for shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering
Inventory Interface immediately (However Data Interface must still be
advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the
latest version of Inventory Interface.).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of Inventory Interface 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 copy of the latest version of the Inventory Interface
system.
INVENTORY INTERFACE is a trademark of Data Interface.
