- The following additional information and restrictions are intended for

- distribute Cascoly Shareware.
-
- ASP Associate (Disk Vendor) Member Information:
- -----------------------------------------------
-
- Vendors who are ASP Associate Members in good standing are hereby given
- permission to distribute Cascoly Shareware in accordance with the
- Distribution Restrictions listed above. ASP Associate Members (often called
- "ASP Approved Vendors") in good standing do not need to request permission
- to distribute this package. ASP vendors who use rack vending or who wish
- to publish our programs as part of a CD-ROM, please note the further
- restrictions outlined below.
-
- This permission is in effect until or unless we notify you otherwise, in
- writing.
-
- ASP Vendor Members - Disk Sets:
- -------------------------------
- ASP Vendor Members who wish to distribute Cascoly Shareware as part of a
- collection (such as PsL's MegaDisk set) may do so provided that all the
- other restrictions are met.
-
- Other (Non-ASP) Disk Vendor Information:
- ----------------------------------------
- Shareware Distributors and Disk Vendors who are not ASP Associate Members,
- but who wish to distribute Cascoly Shareware need to comply with the
- following additional restrictions.
-
- In order for us to ensure that only current versions are distributed, we
- require that you send us a letter requesting permission to distribute any of
- our products.
-
- You may not list any of our products in advertisements, catalogs, or other
- literature which describes our products as "FREE SOFTWARE". Shareware is
- "Try-Before-You-Buy" software, it is not free. Please include in your
- letter, a copy of your catalog. If you are a new vendor, and no catalog is
- available, we need your written assurance that the ASP guidelines for
- vendors are being met -- ie, your catalog must emphasize that users must
- register and pay for shareware they receive from you.
-
- Other (Non-ASP) Vendors - Disk Sets:
- ------------------------------------
- Vendors (non-ASP Vendor Members) who wish to distribute any Cascoly
- Shareware as part of a collection (such as PsL's MegaDisk set) must obtain
- written permission from Cascoly Software prior to beginning such a
- distribution.
-
- Computer Clubs and User Groups :
- ------------------------------
- Computer Clubs and User Groups wishing to add Cascoly Shareware packages to
- their disk library may do so in accordance with the Distribution
- Restrictions listed above.
-
- Disk-of-the-Month (or Subscription) Distribution:
- -------------------------------------------------
- If you would like to distribute Cascoly Shareware as a Disk-of-the-Month, or
- as part of a subscription or monthly service, then the following
- restrictions apply:
-
- ASP Associate (Disk Vendor) Members in good standing are hereby given
- permission to distribute Cascoly Shareware under the Disk-of-the-Month style
- of distribution.
-
- Others (non-ASP Members) must contact us in advance to ensure that you have
- the most current version of the software.
-
- You cannot use a Disk-of-the-Month distribution to use up your inventory of
- old (out of date) disks. Only current versions may be shipped as Disk-of-
- the-Month disks.
-
-
-
- ****** Attention All RACK VENDORS & CD-ROM publishers *******
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- It has come to our attention that shareware racks may be hurting Cascoly
- Software sales because shareware racks may compete with the low-priced
- retail racks on which our products are sold, and which pay us a royalty.
- Obviously this creates a problem for us. So starting today (21 Aug 1992), I
- must prohibit all Cascoly, including both current games and our forthcoming
- titles, from being sold on shareware racks of any kind. Please understand
- that this step is taken purely to protect royalties we are earning. It
- boils down to the fact that our royalties are much greater than sales we see
- from shareware sold on racks.
-
- Cascoly requests a minimum of $.10 royalty per program sold for any rack
- sales, payable quarterly. To minimize bookkeeping, Cascoly also licenses
- disks in advance. You can license any combination of Cascoly programs, in
- lots of 500 for a 20% discount (ie, $40/ 500 programs). This discounted
- payment is due in advance and is non-refundable. After each lot of 500
- disks is sold, a new license prepayment is required. Please send a SASE to
- Cascoly to receive copies of the royalty agreement.
-
- This affects CDROM and rack sales of shareware only, not catalog sales,
- shareware sold at computer swap meets, BBS distribution, etc. We are
- pleased when any vendor carries our shareware in catalogs, or sells disks
- containing Cascoly products in any way other than rack sales in retail
- locations.
-
- Please Help Us Serve You Better:
- --------------------------------
-
- We would appreciate copies of anything you print regarding Cascoly
- Shareware. Please send us a copy of any reviews, articles, catalog
- descriptions, or other information you print or distribute regarding Cascoly
- Shareware. Thank you for your time and assistance and for supporting the
- shareware marketing concept.
