IMPORTANT: This document includes a formal license Agreement setting out the terms under which you may use this CD-ROM ("CD"). Using this CD implies acceptance of those terms.
This CD is compiled by Future Network USA from a multitude of independent sources and we believe it will offer great value, benefit and pleasure to most users.
The entire contents of this CD are offered on an "as is" basis. Because of the wide range of computer systems that exist, we can make no claim that all programs will work reliably on all systems. The terms on which individual programs are offered for use may vary, and you should examine the Read Me files that accompany many of the programs. Many of the invididual program providers may offer technical support for their programs (this CD includes contact information wherever possible) but Future Network USA does not offer support for third party programs, beyond the information included on the CD and in the magazine.
This CD has been certified virus-free at press time by our quality control programs. However, it is not possible to eliminate the possibility of virus-checking software being bypassed by new types of virus. Nor, given the complexity and wide range of different computer systems and different types of computer program, is it possible to guarantee that any combination of programs run on any systems will never result in problems occurring which could affect system functionality.
It is the user's responsibility to take sensible precautions and to regularly create backups for any valuable data or applications. Future Network USA cannot accept responsibility for any claims of file corruption, loss of data, loss of system functionality, or any other problems whatsoever relating to use of any program on this CD.
The software included on this CD is subject to various intellectual property rights. It is available for your personal use, but you do not have the right to copy and redistribute any of the software unless the Read Me file accompanying a piece of software explicitly grants those rights. Read the Terms and Conditions below for more details.
Any shareware programs on this CD are subject to the normal rules governing distribution of shareware. If, after evaluation of the software, you decide you want to continue to use it, you should send a fee to the author, as requested on the individual program.
Here follows the formal license agreement.
