- JP SOFTWARE'S PLAIN ENGLISH SHAREWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
- AND LIMITED WARRANTY
-
- (1) Introduction. This agreement explains when and how you may use both
- shareware and registered copies of software products from JP Software.
- In this agreement:
-
- * "Program" means the JP Software software products(s) you have
- purchased or obtained for evaluation, including both the software
- and the associated documentation and other materials;
-
- * "Shareware Copy" means a copy of the Program distributed by us or
- by our authorized agents for evaluation purposes and which is
- described as a shareware copy in the Program's sign-on messages;
-
- * "Registered Copy" means a copy of the Program purchased from us or
- from a dealer, and which is not described as a shareware copy in
- the Program's sign-on messages;
-
- * "we" or "us" means JP Software Inc., a corporation based in
- Arlington, Massachusetts, USA; and
-
- * "you" means the end user of the Program.
-
- (2) Legal Agreement. This is a legal agreement which allows you, the end
- user, to use the Program under certain terms and conditions. If you
- cannot agree to abide by what this agreement says you should not use or
- evaluate the Program.
-
- (3) Copyright. The Program is fully protected by copyright under U.S.
- law and international treaty provisions.
-
- (4) Evaluation Period. You may use a Shareware Copy of the Program for
- an evaluation period of up to 21 days, in order to determine whether the
- program meets your needs before purchasing it. Once the evaluation
- period ends, you agree to either purchase a Registered Copy of the
- Program, or to stop using it. If you have ordered a Registered Copy of
- the Program from us or from a dealer, you may continue to use your
- Shareware Copy until your Registered Copy arrives.
-
- (5) Use of the Program. While you are evaluating the Program, you may
- use it on as many computers as are required to perform your evaluation.
- Your 21-day evaluation period begins when you first install the Program
- on one or more computers for evaluation purposes. Once the evaluation
- period is over and you purchase the program, your use is subject to the
- following restrictions:
-
- (A) You agree not to install or use any individual copy of the Program
- on more than one computer at a time. However, you may install an
- individual copy simultaneously on one computer at work, one computer
- at home, and one portable computer, if all these computers are used
- primarily by the same individual, and there is no possibility that the
-
-

-
-
- computers will be in use at the same time except while you are
- actively transferring files between them. (If the Program was
- purchased by your employer you agree to get your employer's explicit
- permission before installing the Program on multiple computers as
- described above.)
-
- (B) If you purchased a multi-system license for the Program you agree
- not to install or use it on more computers than the number included in
- your license, as shown on your invoice, the program sign-on screen, or
- other documents from us.
-
- (6) Making and Distributing Shareware Copies of the Program. You may
- make copies of your Shareware Copy of the Program to give to others, as
- long as you include all of the files that you originally received with
- your Shareware Copy. When you give a Shareware Copy of the Program to
- another person, you agree to inform them that their copy is to be used
- for a time limited evaluation period, and that they must purchase a
- Registered Copy if they continue to use the Program once the evaluation
- period has ended. You agree not to sell Shareware Copies of the Program
- or distribute them to others for any kind of compensation or fee unless
- you abide by the restrictions in JP Software's VENDOR.DOC file.
-
- (7) Copying Registered Copies of the Program. When you receive a
- Registered Copy of the Program you may make copies of the Program
- software which are necessary for normal backup purposes. You agree not to
- make any other copies of the software, the manual(s), or any part of
- them, or sell or give any copies to others, without our advance written
- permission.
-
- (8) Operation of the Program. The Program offers powerful capabilities.
- If you do not follow our instructions, or if you use the Program
- improperly, you can destroy files or cause other damage to your software
- and data. You assume full responsibility for the selection and use of
- the Program to achieve your intended results.
-
- (9) LIMITED WARRANTY: The following limited warranty applies to
- Registered Copies of the Program. It is included here so you understand
- what your warranty will be when you purchase a Registered Copy. This
- warranty does NOT apply to Shareware Copies of the Program.
-
- Physical Defects. We pledge that the disks and manuals we send you
- will arrive free of physical defects which interfere with normal use.
- If you find such a defect and report it to us within 90 days after you
- purchase the Program, we agree to replace the defective item(s) at no
- charge to you as long as the defect was not caused by misuse or abuse.
-
- Bugs and Program Errors. We don't promise that the Program will be
- free of bugs or program errors. If you report a program error or bug
- to us, we will use our best efforts to correct it. If we issue a
- maintenance release for the Program which includes a correction for an
- error you reported, we will send you a copy of that maintenance
- release at no charge if you request it. We will only do this for
-
-

-
- maintenance releases, not for new major releases or other new versions
- of the Program.
-
- Satisfaction Guarantee. If you are dissatisfied with any product you
- buy from us under this Agreement for any reason, you may return it at
- any time up to 90 days after purchase and we will give you a refund.
- If the product is a JP Software product we will give you a full
- refund. If it is not a JP Software product we will give you a full
- refund if in our judgment the product is returned in resellable
- condition, or a 50% refund if not. Refunds will be based on the price
- you paid, less shipping costs. You must contact us before returning
- any product for a refund. This satisfaction guarantee does not apply
- to multi- system licenses for more than 10 computers, or to purchases
- of more than 10 individual copies at one time.
-
- (10) DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS. And now the legal language we couldn't
- avoid:
