2. 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.
3. DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
-------------------------
Users of BandIt must accept this disclaimer of warranty: "BandIt 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 BandIt." BandIt is a "shareware product"
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 when registered. 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 product
useful and find that you are using BandIt and continue to use BandIt after
a reasonable trial period, you must register it with Calitz Bros. through Kagi
software or Compuserve. This registration fee will license one copy for use
on any one computer at any one time. The registration and the activation code
will be valid for future minor upgrades, bug fixes and enhancements to
BandIt Version 5.x. When we have received your payment, we will e-mail,
fax or post your activation code to you. 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. Programs developed by using the BandIt components may be
distributed without any additional royalties.
Commercial users of BandIt must register and pay for their copies of BandIt
within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn.
Anyone distributing BandIt for any kind of remuneration must first contact
Calitz Bros. at the address below for authorization. This authorization will
be automatically granted to shareware distributors, and such distributors
may begin offering BandIt immediately (However Calitz Bros. must still be
advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest version
of BandIt.).
BandIt has a nag screen which displays when BandIt is not registered. If not
registered then the not registered message will also print on all reports and
printouts. If registered the message on the reports will be replaced by the
user's own wording or nothing if required.
You are encouraged to pass a copy of BandIt along to your friends for
evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they find
that they can use it.
