The PC-SIG Library
Electronic Bulletin Board System License
The use of The PC-SIG Library on CD ROM on electronic bulletin board
systems (BBS) is prohibited without a license from PC-SIG, Inc. This
License Agreement is between PC-SIG, Inc. and the BBS operator whose
signature appears at the end of this Agreement. In return for the
limited right to use The PC-SIG Library, the BBS Licensee agrees to
the provisions of this License. This Agreement allows the BBS Licensee
to use The PC-SIG Library for the period of one year from the date of
this License.
1. PC-SIG's copyright covers the research, editing,
organization and compilation aspects of PC-SIG Library
diskettes and CD ROMs as well as any individual programs or
descriptive materials which are the original creation of
PC-SIG. Unless otherwise specified, PC-SIG does not claim
literary rights in individual programs which have been
licensed for use.
2. This License Agreement allows the BBS Licensee to use
PC-SIG's name, diskette numbering system and corresponding
titles, and PC-SIG developed text files including, but not
limited to, diskette descriptions.
3. BBS Licensee agrees to respect the author's copyright
notices on the Shareware software and PC-SIG's copyrights
and trademarks. PC-SIG's copyrighted materials include the
directory on disk, all printed directories and encyclopedias,
PC-SIG Hotsheet, PC-SIG Magazine and Shareware Magazine.
4. The BBS Licensee must have the capability, and agree, to
deny access to any program, file, or diskette on their BBS
system that has been withdrawn from The PC-SIG Library.
Notification of program, file, or diskette withdrawal from
The PC-SIG Library will be published in "Shareware Magazine"
and/or the PC-SIG Hotsheet that is sent to Licensee. It is
the responsibility of the BBS Licensee to monitor the above
publications and to maintain their BBS according to the
current distribution status as reflected in those publications.
5. BBS Licensee agrees to display the PC-SIG Introduction
Screen prior to the initial downloading of software by each
user. The PC-SIG Introduction screen will be supplied in
ASCII format on diskette.
6. BBS Licensee agrees not to download files and/or programs from a
PC-SIG diskette or The PC-SIG Library on CD-ROM disc with
the intent to sell the copy. Downloading is defined as the
process of copying or duplicating a PC-SIG Library diskette
or The PC-SIG Library on CD-ROM disc onto other media,
including, but not limited to, diskettes, hard drives,
magnetic tape or optical disc, for the intentional or
unintentional purposes of sales, distribution or financial
gain. The BBS Licensee cannot side-step the issue of a sale
by claiming that they have only charged for consulting time,
the cost of the diskette, online time, or for labor charges
only.
7. BBS Licensee agrees not to charge any fees for downloading
and/or viewing any portion of The PC-SIG Library, nor are
they allowed to charge any access fees. BBS operators may,
however, charge a nominal annual membership fee, which is
not to exceed $50.00 to help defray the cost of the system
operation.
8. Because of the varying types of hardware and software for
BBS systems, PC-SIG does not guarantee the compatibility of
The PC-SIG Library on CD-ROM with any particular BBS system.
9. If Licensee violates any provisions of this Agreement,
PC-SIG can terminate this License and continued violations
may possibly lead to subsequent legal action by PC-SIG,
among other causes of action, for violation of PC-SIG's
License, registered trademark(s) and/or copyright(s).
10. The License fee is one hundred ($100) per year for a one
line BBS system. For BBS systems with more lines, the fee is
an additional one hundred dollars ($100) per added line per
year.
11. Licensee agrees to notify PC-SIG, Inc., if they have or gain
knowledge of individuals or organizations that are violating
the terms of this License Agreement or PC-SIG's copyright(s)
and/or trademark(s).
12. Should legal action result between PC-SIG and its Licensee
due to the violation of, or concerning, any of the
provisions of this Agreement, the Licensee shall be
responsible for all attorneys fees and related legal
expenses, including, but not limited to, loss of business and
profit to PC-SIG, Inc. Should litigation be necessary, any
action will be filed in the County of Santa Clara, State of
California.
13. The PC-SIG Library is not licensed for use on BBS systems
operating outside the USA. For other countries, contact PC-SIG
for License requirements.
14. This License shall be construed under the laws of the State
of California. This Agreement sets forth the understanding
between PC-SIG and the BBS Licensee; it may be changed or
modified only in writing and must be signed by the Licensee.
