of purchase for a refund.

1.  License.  The application, demonstrations, data files and other software
accompanying this License, whether on disk, compact disc, in read-only memory,
or on any other media (the Discis Software), and the related documentation are
licensed to you by Discis Knowledge Research Inc. (Discis).  You own the media
on which the Discis Software is recorded but Discis retains title to the Discis
Software and related documentation. This License allows you to use the Discis
Software on a single computer and make one copy of the Discis Software in
machine-readable form for backup purposes only. You may transfer all your
license rights in the Discis Software, the backup copy of the Discis Software,
the related documentation and a copy of this License to another party, provided
the other party reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of this
License.

2.  Restrictions.  The Discis Software contains copyrighted material, trade
secrets and other proprietary material; in order to protect them you may not
decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Discis
Software to a human-perceivable form. You may not modify, network, rent, lease,
loan, distribute or create derivative works based upon the Discis Software in
whole or in part. You may not electronically transmit the Discis Software from
one computer to another or over a network.

3.  Termination.  This License is effective until terminated. You may terminate
this License at any time by destroying the Discis Software and related
documentation and all copies thereof. This License will terminate immediately
without notice from Discis if you fail to comply with any provision of this
License. Upon termination you must destroy the Discis Software and related
documentation and all copies thereof.

4.  Discis Media Warranty. Discis warrants that for one year from date of
purchase, the compact disc used to distribute the Discis Software shall be free
of all manufacturing defects. Additionally, for the same one year period,
Discis will replace, free of charge,  any compact disc that may be damaged in
any way. You must return the defective or damaged compact disc along with proof
of purchase and signed warranty card. A postage and handling charge of US$6.00
must accompany the order.

5.  Disclaimer of Warranty on Discis Software. You expressly acknowledge and
agree that use of the Discis Software is at your sole risk. The Discis
Software, and related documentation are provided AS IS and without warranty of
any kind and Discis expressly disclaims all warranties, express or implied,
including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and
fitness for a particular purpose. Discis does not warrant that the functions
contained in the Discis Software will meet your requirements, or that the
operation of the Discis Software will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that
defects in the Discis Software will be corrected. Furthermore, Discis does not
warrant or make any representations regarding the use or the results of the use
of the Discis Software or related documentation in terms of their correctness,
accuracy, reliability, or otherwise. No oral or written information or advice
given by Discis or a Discis-authorized representative shall create a warranty
or in any way increase the scope of this warranty. Should the Discis Software
prove defective, you (and not Discis or a Discis authorized representative)
assume the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction. Some
jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above
exclusion may not apply to you.

6.  Limitation of Liability.  Under no circumstances, including negligence,
shall Discis be liable for any incidental, special or consequential damages
that result from the use or inability to use the Discis Software or related
documentation, even if Discis or a Discis authorized representative has been
advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the
limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages so
the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In no event shall
Discis total liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action
(whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise) exceed the
amount paid by you for the Discis Software.

7.  Controlling Law and Severability.  This License shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the province of Ontario and
adjudicated in a court of that province. If for any reason a court of competent
jurisdiction finds any provision of this License or portion thereof to be
unenforceable, that provision of the License shall be enforced to the maximum
extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder
of this License shall continue in full force and effect.

8.  Complete Agreement.  This License constitutes the entire agreement between
the parties with respect to the use of the Discis Software and related
documentation, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings or
agreements, written or oral, regarding such subject matter. No amendment to or
modification of this License will be binding unless in writing and signed by a
duly authorized representative of Discis.
