- ASP Ombudsman Policy
- This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware
- Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle
- works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with
- an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The
- ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member,
- but does not provide technical support for members' products. Please write to
- the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 or send a
- Compuserve message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536

- 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 FOR TRYING PAINT SHOP
- Users of Paint Shop must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
- "Paint Shop 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 Paint Shop."
-
- Paint Shop 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 Paint Shop and continue to use Paint Shop after a
- reasonable trial period, you must make a registration payment to JASC, Inc..
- The 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.
-
- Commercial users of Paint Shop must register and pay for their copies of Paint
- Shop within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. Site-License
- arrangements may be made by contacting JASC, Inc..

- 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
