WHAT IS 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 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 manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the
copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated
below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial
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 commercial or
Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you
can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low
also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use
the product, you don't pay for it.
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of DAMENU must accept this disclaimer of warranty: "DAMENU is supplied
as is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, including,
without limitation, the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any
purpose. The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or
consequential, which may result from the use of DAMENU."
DAMENU is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the user for
evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but please do not give
it away altered or as part of another system. The essence of
"user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users with quality
software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers
to continue to develop new products. If you find this program useful and
find that you are using DAMENU and continue to use DAMENU after a reasonable
trial period, you must make a registration payment of $15.00 to Just-In-Time
Computing Services. The $15.00 registration fee will license one copy for
use on any one computer at any one time.
Commercial users of DAMENU must register and pay for their copies of DAMENU
within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. Site-License
arrangements may be made by contacting Just-In-Time Computing Services.
VENDOR INFORMATION
Anyone distributing DAMENU for any kind of remuneration must first contact
Just-In-Time Computing Services at the address below for authorization. This
authorization will be automatically granted to distributors recognized by the
(ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such
distributors may begin offering DAMENU immediately (However Just-In-Time
Computing Services must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept
up-to-date with the latest version of DAMENU.).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of DAMENU along to your friends for
evaluation, as long as the DAMENU system is complete and unmodified.
Please encourage them to register their copy if they find that
they can use it. All registered users will receive upgrade information and
notification of the latest version of the DAMENU system.
ASP OMBUDSMAN
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:
ASP Ombudsman
545 Grover Road
Muskegon, MI 49442
or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
Thanks.
