DISCLAIMER & LICENSE INFORMATION
LIMITED LICENSE AGREEMENT
***READ BEFORE USING THIS CD-ROM DISC***
By using this CD-ROM disc (the "CD"), you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth below.
The software, documentation and other materials contained on the CD (the "CD Contents") are being licensed to you pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Limited License Agreement (the "Agreement"), subject to the rights of third parties under applicable intellectual property law or separate agreements distributed with the CD Contents (the "Third Party Agreements"). If there is a conflict between this Agreement and any Third Party Agreement, the Third Party Agreement shall prevail. The CD Contents are owned either by Imagine Publishing, Inc. ("Imagine") or by the third-party suppliers whose names appear on the CD. Except as expressly provided below or on the CD itself, you do not have free or unlimited use of the CD Contents.
In addition to the terms and conditions set forth below, you agree and understand that:
You are responsible for the installation, management and operation of the CD.
No support is offered for third party programs beyond the information included on the CD or in the accompanying magazine. Although the CD has been certified virus-free at press time by Imagine's quality control staff, it is not possible to ensure that our virus-checking software has not been bypassed by some new type of virus. If a program is marked as "Shareware" it is subject to the usual rules governing distribution of Shareware, namely, that you are required to send a license fee to the author, as requested on the individual program, if you wish to use the program after evaluating it.

indirectly, by electronic or other means, reproduce, publish, distribute, rent, loan,
sell, sublicense, assign or transfer the CD Contents or any part thereof (except to make
