Jasc ImageCommander 2.00
Fees for Distribution of Shareware Versions
Disk Vendors, Shareware Distributors and BBS(s) may have charged a nominal
fee for the distribution of this Shareware version of Jasc ImageCommander.
This fee does not constitute payment for the Licensed version of Jasc
ImageCommander, and does not entitle the end user to use the shareware
version for longer than the 30 day evaluation period.
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 required
to register it (or purchase the licensed version as in the case of Jasc
ImageCommander).
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and retail software, and the
copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as
stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like
retail 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 retail or
Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you
can try before you buy. And because the overhead is lower, prices are lower
also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use
the product, you don't pay for it.
ASP Ombudsman Policy
This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle
works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with
an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help.
The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP
member, but does not provide technical support for members' products. Please
write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 or
send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536
