- 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
-
- Users of "3 ball Juggler" must accept this disclaimer of
- warranty: "'3 ball Juggler' 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 '3 ball Juggler'."
-
- "3 ball Juggler" 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 "3 ball Juggler" and continue
- to use "3 ball Juggler" after a reasonable trial period, you must
- make a registration payment of $15 to John Gallant. The $15
- 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 "3 ball Juggler" must register and pay for
- their copies of "3 ball Juggler" within 30 days of first use or
- their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be
- made by contacting John Gallant.
-
- Anyone distributing "3 ball Juggler" for any kind of remuneration
- must first contact John Gallant at the address below for
- authorization. This authorization will be automatically granted
- to distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its
- guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors may
- begin offering "3 ball Juggler" immediately (However John Gallant
- must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-
- date with the latest version of "3 ball Juggler").
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of "3 ball Juggler" 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 "3 ball
- Juggler" and additional printed documentation. You may also order
- a copy of "5 ball Juggler" at a reduced rate when you register "3
- ball Juggler". Both four and five ball juggling is covered in the
- program. The regular price is $15 (US) for each program but both
- programs can be purchased for a total of $25 (US) when
- registering. "5 ball Juggler" is not available in shareware.
