GOLDWARE INTERNATIONAL
PLAIN ENGLISH SHAREWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
AND LIMITED WARRANTY
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
This agreement explains when and how you may use both shareware and
registered copies of software products from Goldware International. In
this agreement:
* "Program" means the Goldware International software product(s) you
have purchased or obtained for evaluation, including both the
software and the associated documentation and other materials;
* "Shareware Copy" means a copy of the Program (normally in archived
form) distributed by us or by our authorized agents (registration
sites or dealers) for evaluation purposes and which is described
as a shareware copy in the Program's sign-on messages;
* "Registered Copy" means a copy of the Program purchased from us or
from registration site or dealer, and which is not described as a
shareware copy in the Program's sign-on messages, or a
registration key which makes the Shareware Copy equal in function
to the Registered Copy;
* "we" or "us" means Goldware International, a personal business
owned by Odinn Sorensen in Denmark, Europe; and
* "you" means the end user of the Program.
______________________________________________________________________
LEGAL AGREEMENT
This is a legal agreement which allows you, the end user, to use the
Program under certain terms and conditions. If you cannot agree to
abide by what this agreement says you should not use or evaluate the
Program.
______________________________________________________________________
COPYRIGHT
The Program is fully protected by copyright under Danish and European
Union law and international treaty provisions.
______________________________________________________________________
EVALUATION PERIOD
You may use a Shareware Copy of the Program for an evaluation period
of up to 30 days, in order to determine whether the program meets your
needs before purchasing it. Once the evaluation period ends, you agree
to either purchase a Registered Copy of the Program, or to stop using
it. If you have ordered a Registered Copy of the Program from us or
from a registration site or dealer, you may continue to use your
Shareware Copy until your Registered Copy arrives.
______________________________________________________________________
USE OF THE PROGRAM
While you are evaluating the Program, you may use it on as many
computers as are required to perform your evaluation. Your 30-day
evaluation period begins when you first install the Program on one or
more computers for evaluation purposes. Once the evaluation period is
over and you purchase the program, your use is subject to the
following restrictions:
1. You agree not to install or use any individual copy of the Program
on more than one computer at a time. However, you may install an
individual copy simultaneously on one computer at work, one
computer at home, and one portable computer, if all these
computers are used primarily by the same individual, and there is
no possibility that the computers will be in use at the same time
except while you are actively transferring files between them. (If
the Program was purchased by your employer you agree to get your
employer's explicit permission before installing the Program on
multiple computers as described above.)
2. If you purchased a multi-system license for the Program you agree
not to install or use it on more computers than the number
included in your license, as shown on your invoice, the program
sign-on screen, or other documents from us.
______________________________________________________________________
DISTRIBUTING SHAREWARE COPIES OF THE PROGRAM
You may make copies of your Shareware Copy of the Program to give to
others, as long as you include all of the files that you originally
received with your Shareware Copy. When you give a Shareware Copy of
the Program to another person, you agree to inform them that their
copy is to be used for a time limited evaluation period, and that they
must purchase a Registered Copy if they continue to use the Program
once the evaluation period has ended. Distribution of the Shareware
Copy on any media (including, but not limited to, CD-ROM, Shareware
disks, BBS'es and ftp sites) is freely allowed, provided that the
files inside the original distribution archives are not modified in
any way. Addition of BBS advertisements etc. is strongly discouraged,
but allowed.
______________________________________________________________________
COPYING REGISTERED COPIES OF THE PROGRAM
When you receive a Registered Copy of the Program you may make copies
of the Program software which are necessary for normal backup
purposes. You agree not to make any other copies of the software, the
manual(s), or any part of them, or sell or give any copies to others,
without our advance written permission.
______________________________________________________________________
OPERATION OF THE PROGRAM
The Program offers powerful capabilities. If you do not follow our
instructions, or if you use the Program improperly, you can destroy
files or cause other damage to your software and data. You assume full
responsibility for the selection and use of the Program to achieve
your intended results.
______________________________________________________________________
LIMITED WARRANTY
The following limited warranty applies to Registered Copies of the
Program. It is included here so you understand what your warranty will
be when you purchase a Registered Copy. This warranty does NOT apply
to Shareware Copies of the Program.
1. Physical Defects. We pledge that the disks and manuals we send you
will arrive free of physical defects which interfere with normal
use. If you find such a defect and report it to us within 90 days
after you purchase the Program, we agree to replace the defective
item(s) at no charge to you as long as the defect was not caused
by misuse or abuse.
2. Bugs and Program Errors. We don't promise that the Program will be
free of bugs or program errors. If you report a program error or
bug to us, we will use our best efforts to correct it.
3. Satisfaction Guarantee. If you are dissatisfied with any product
you buy from us under this Agreement for any reason, you may
return it at any time up to 90 days after purchase and we will
give you a full refund. Refunds will be based on the price you
paid, less shipping costs. You must contact us before returning
any product for a refund. This satisfaction guarantee does not
apply to multi-system licenses for more than 10 computers, or to
purchases of more than 10 individual copies at one time.
______________________________________________________________________
DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS
And now the legal language we couldn't avoid:

LICENSE FOR YOUR SHAREWARE COPY OF THE PROGRAM. ACCORDINGLY THE
SHAREWARE COPY IS PROVIDED "AS-IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
