Vendor standards expected of distributors are summarized below in this
file. Under no condition will permission to distribute be given to any
organization who does not agree to follow the standards. The vendor
standards are based on those established for vendor associate members
of the Association of Shareware Professionals. ASP vendor members will
be granted permission to distribute this product; if you are already a
member of ASP, please mention that in your request for permission to
distribute. ASP vendor members are automatically placed on our mailing
list and may be given a free copy for distribution. If you are
not an ASP vendor member you will be directed to one in order to obtain
a distribution copy of the product.
* The program or files may not be sold as part of some other
more inclusive package without permission of R.K. West Consulting.
* Distributors may NOT add to or delete from any program or
documentation file (the EXE, the VENDOR.DOC, or any related file). Any
advertising material or other information must be placed in a separate
file and identified so the user may delete it.
* Under no condition will the product be "rented" or leased to others.
* Printed copies of the screens or documentation files may not be
distributed in any form without a license from R.K. West Consulting
* Any distribution of this product over bulletin boards and/or
national telecommunication services will be limited to distributing a
single archived file containing the contents of the entire distribution
disk and NO charge specifically for this software above the standard
charge for connect time will be allowed.
The following is a summary of ASP vendor standards. This summary is
just that, a summary, and is not to be taken as a statement of the
entire set of ASP standards.
Advertising:
All vendor advertisements and brochures must state that "Shareware
programs require separate payment to authors if found useful." This
statement must immediately follow the price or be tied to the price via
an asterisk.
Catalogs:
Vendors will attempt to educate users on the nature of Shareware. The
following points must be covered in any catalog of disks:
- The fee paid to the vendor is a distribution charge and does not
cover the cost of the program itself.
- If the user finds a Shareware program to be of use, he/she is
expected to send the registration fee to the author.
- Registration entitles the user to various rights and benefits
(depending on the author). These range from the legal right to continue
using the software, to printed documentation and/or higher levels of
service.
Distribution:
Vendors will respect the copyright and all distribution restrictions
made by individual authors, usually found in the file VENDOR.DOC (this
file) on the disk.
Vendors will provide a written notice covering the three concepts above
with all Shareware programs shipped. If disks are pre-packaged, the
notice must be on a visible part of the package.
Vendors will not change or delete ANY files supplied with the program
unless authorized by the author. Small additions designed to assist the
user may be added if the author does not specifically prohibit such
action.
Vendors agree to stop distributing a program, including earlier
versions, if requested by the author.
Again, the above is a SUMMARY of the ASP vendor standards. In order to
distribute this software, you must agree to abide by these standards,
ASP member or not. If you are interested in becoming an ASP-approved
vendor, please contact:

These programs are 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
P.O. Box 5786, Bellevue, WA 98006 or send a message via CompuServe Mail
to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
