2. THE ASSOCIATION OF SHAREWARE PROFESSIONALS
Damsel Software Group is 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 USA
49442-9427, Fax 616-788-2765, or send a CompuServe message via
CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying
it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected
to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request
registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period.
With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using
the software to an updated program with printed material.
Shareware differs from public domain software in that there is the under-
standing of payment IF the user continues to actively employ the software.
Shareware is also copyrighted where public domain software is not.
Copyright restrictions vary from author to author. Damsel's Screen Savers
and Bitmap Collections are copyrighted. The details of this copyright
follow the loading and use section below.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should
find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial
or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier,
because you can try before you buy. Shareware has the ultimate money-back
guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.
3. COPYRIGHT INFORMATION
Damsel Software Group's shareware version of its Screen Saver Sampler can
be shared freely with everyone. We do request that a copy of this README
file accompany the program so that others may register the product if they
so desire. For commercial disk vendors this request becomes an absolute
requirement. This shareware version cannot be used for commercial
applications.
Once registered, all Damsel products may be used as wallpaper or as
baseline imagery for further private or commercial processing. Your only
restriction as a registered purchaser, owner, or user, is that the
Sampler or its individual images not be resold or distributed in their
original unmodified form. Images may be used unmodified in commercial
publications where they form an integral part of a larger work to be sold
or marketed as such. The images cannot be resold as stand-alone graphics
without the expressed written consent of Damsel Software Group.
