- DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
-
- "Airdrums" Program and Graphics Copyright 1995 DiBona Associates.
- "Uncle Larry Software" is a trademark of DiBona Associates.
- "Microsoft" is a Registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation.
- "Windows" is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation.
- "Sound Blaster" is a trademark of Creative Technology Ltd.
- All trademarks of other companies are the property of their respective

-
- Users of AirDrums must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
- "AirDrums 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 conse-
- quential, which may result from the use of AirDrums."
-
- AirDrums 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 AirDrums and continue to use
- AirDrums after a reasonable trial period, you must make a
- registration payment of $35.00 to Uncle Larry Software.
-
- The $35.00 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.
-
-
- Anyone distributing AirDrums for any kind of remuneration must
- first contact Uncle Larry Software, DiBona Associates at
- the address above for authorization.
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of AirDrums 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 AirDrums
- system.

-
- 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.
