APTON CORPORATION'S ENC! SHAREWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
(1) Introduction.
This agreement explains when and how you may use shareware copies
of software products from Apton Corporation. In this agreement:
* "Program" means the Apton Corporation shareware products(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 distributed by us
or by our authorized agents for evaluation purposes and which
is described as a shareware copy in the Program's sign-on
messages;
* "we" or "us" means Apton Corporation, a corporation based in
Chicago, Illinois, USA; and
* "you" means the end user of the Program.
(2) 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.
(3) Copyright.
The Program and documents are copyrighted under US law and
international treaty provisions. You agree that your use of the
Program is subject to these laws, which prohibit unauthorized
copying or duplication of the Program software, documentation, and
other materials.
(4) Evaluation Period.
You may use a Shareware Copy of the Program for an evaluation
period of up to 30 days. The purpose of this evaluation period is
to allow you to determine whether the program meets your needs
before purchasing it. Once the evaluation period has ended, 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 dealer, you may continue to use your
Shareware Copy beyond the end of the 30-day evaluation period
until your Registered Copy arrives.
(5) 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.
You may not make any changes or modifications to the Program, and
you may not decompile, disassemble, or otherwise reverse engineer
the Program.
(6) Making and 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, as listed in the
README.DOC file included 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. You agree not to sell Shareware Copies of the Program or
distribute them to others for any kind of compensation or fee
unless you are a shareware disk vendor, are a non-profit User
Group, or have received written permission from us; and your
permission to distribute the Program has not been revoked by us;
and you charge a fee of US $8 or less per copy (excluding shipping
costs). You also agree not to sell printed copies of any
documentation for the Program under any circumstances.
(7) Operation of the Program.
Apton Corporation's products are powerful programs. While we have
attempted to build in reasonable safeguards, if you do not use
them properly you may destroy files or cause other damage to your
computer software and data. You assume full responsibility for
the selection and use of the Program to achieve your intended
results.
(8) DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS.
YOU ARE NOT PAYING FOR THE TRIAL USE LICENSE FOR YOUR SHAREWARE
COPY OF THE PROGRAM. ACCORDINGLY THE SHAREWARE COPY IS PROVIDED
"AS-IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR SHAREWARE COPIES. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE
BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES
WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF USE OF THE PROGRAM OR YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH US, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY OR ALL DAMAGES FOR LOSS
OF PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF INFORMATION OR ANY
PECUNIARY LOSS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF
LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, THEREFORE THE
ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
