- The HPACK Warranty:
- ===================
-
- 1. Customer Obligations
- -----------------------
-
- 1.1. Customer assumes full responsibility that this program meets the
- specifications, capacity, capabilities, and other requirements of said
- customer, and agrees not to bother the author if the program does not perform
- as expected, or performs other than expected, or does not perform at all.
-
- 1.2. Customer assumes full responsibility for any deaths or injuries that
- may result from the normal or abnormal operation of this program. In the
- event of casualties exceeding 1000 persons or property damage in excess of
- $10 million, customer agrees that he or she has stolen the program and we
- didn't even know he or she had it.
-
- 1.3. Customer agrees not to say bad things about the program or the author
- to anyone claiming to be from "60 Minutes".
-
- 2. Very Limited Warranty and Conditions of Sale
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- 2.1. For a period of 90 minutes, commencing from the time you first thought
- about getting this program, we warrant that this program may or may not be
- free of any manufacturing defects. It will be replaced during the warranty
- period upon payment of an amount equal to the original purchase price plus
- $10.00 for handling. This warranty is void if the program has been examined
- or run by the user, or if the manual has been read.
-
- 2.2. This program is sold on an AS WAS basis. The author makes no warranty
- that it is, in fact, what we say it is in our propaganda, or that it will
- perform any useful function. We have no obligation whatsoever other than to
- provide you with this fine disclaimer.
-
- 2.3. Some countries do not allow limitations as to how long an implied
- warranty lasts, so we refuse to imply anything.
-
- 2.4. There is an extremely small but nonzero chance that, through a process
- known as "tunnelling", this program may spontaneously disappear from its
- present location and reappear at any random place in the universe, including
- your neighbours computer system. The author will not be responsible for any
- damages or inconvenience that may result.
-
- 3. Limitation of Liability
- --------------------------
-
- 3.1. We have no liability or responsibility to the customer, the customers
- agents, our creditors, your creditors, or anyone else.
-
- -------------------------
-
- Testimony from one of our satisfied customers:
-
- "I hear this crash and I find a rock, wrapped in paper, next to my living
- room window. I open up the note and it says, 'You want it in writing? You
- got it. Next time, use a *real* archiver. HPACK. We know where you
- live'."
-
- So why aren't *you* using HPACK?
-
- -------------------------
-
- Here's what reviewers have been saying about HPACK:
-
- "Version 0.79 has several of the advanced features recommended in version
- 0.78, but not all of the ones I'd like to see in version 0.80. So, it's
- pretty good except when it's not. Three stars.
-
- You probably won't use half the original features anyway. I'm a little
- ticked off that it clashes with my most exotic memory-resident programs,
- but otherwise the software runs just fine on my Turbo Rambuster 486. It
- will probably run like molasses on your XT.
-
- It's great value at $25, and I recommend you register it, although that's
- easy for me to say because reviewers get freebies".
