The License Guide ([DocFatherInstallDir]/docs/license/license_info.html) contains
information to all DocFather licenses. Choose the one, which best fits your needs.


1.	In the licence terms: "free trial period", in respect of the 
software, means a period of 14 days, commencing when you install the 
software, including any further period permitted by SFS Software; "key" 
means a device provided by SFS Software, upon receipt of the licence fee, 
which enables the software to operate after the free trial period has 
expired; "licence fee" means the amount of $US; "locked software" means 
the software, without a key; "SFS Software" means SFS Software, of the 
address indicated below; and "unlocked software" means the software, 
together with and operational through use of a license key.


2.	Subject to the licence terms, you are granted a non-exclusive 
right during the free trial period to reproduce, transmit and use locked 
software on as many computers as you wish, provided that such software is 
used for evaluation purposes only.  During the free trial period the 
locked software will operate without a key and the software licence 
granted in this clause shall be immediately revocable by SFS Software 
without need to show cause.  Upon expiry of the free trial period, the 
software licence granted in this clause will automatically terminate and 
the software will become inoperational without the use of a key.

3.	If you wish to use the software after the free trial period, you 
must pay the licence fee to SFS Software.  Within a reasonable time after 
SFS Software receives the licence fee from you, SFS Software will provide 
you with a key.

4.	Subject to the licence terms, if you pay the licence fee, you are 
granted a non-exclusive right to cause a single copy of unlocked software 
to be executed on a single central processing unit of a single computer 
at any one time.  The licence granted in this clause 4 will continue 
until copyright in the software expires in the jurisdiction where the 
software is being used for the time being.


4.5 	Distribution of DocFather search indexes (Java Applet)

The distribution of DocFather search indexes is only allowed with the correct
DocFather distribution license. 

A Standard Distribution License grants you the right to distribute DocFather search indexes
royalty-free in Intranet/Internet/Network, but not on CD-ROM.

A CD-ROM distribution license plan contains publishing rights to publish 
DocFather search-indexes on a certain amount of CD-ROMs (Bronze Plan - 1,000 * Silver Plan 10,000 * Gold Plan 50,000).



5.	The software licence extends to any documentation which 
accompanies the software, provided that such documentation may not be 
copied, modified or used in any way not contemplated or expressly 
authorised by the licence terms.

6.	You hereby undertake the following obligations:

	(a)	to not copy, reproduce, transmit, translate, adapt, vary 
or modify the software, in whole or in part (including the part being the 
key), except as expressly authorised by the licence terms;

	(b)	to ensure your employees, sub-contractors and others who 
are permitted by you to have access to the software are made aware of the 
terms of the licence terms and abide by them;

	(c)	to not use unlocked software for or in connection with an 
outsourcing, service bureau or facilities management arrangement; and

	(d)	to not make unlocked software available across a computer 
network.

7.	You acknowledge and agree that:

	(a)	the software is provided "as is" and is not  warranted to 
be error free;

	(b)	the existence of any errors in the software shall not 
constitute a breach of the licence terms; and

	(c)	SFS Software will not be liable or responsible for any 
virus or other feature of the software which interferes with the normal 
operation of a computer and in either case which is not intentionally 
introduced by SFS Software.

licence terms (including terms relating to the standard or quality of the 
software or the fitness of the software for a particular purpose) are 
excluded from the licence terms.

9.	Subject to clause 11, the maximum liability of SFS Software for 
any claims, loss or damage suffered or incurred in any way relating to 
the software (whether referable to breach of the licence terms, 
negligence or otherwise and including any number of claims which arise 
from a single event) will be the licence fee.

10.	Subject to clause 11, SFS Software will not be liable for any 
indirect or consequential damages however arising (whether through a 
breach of the licence terms, negligence or otherwise).

11.	In the event that any applicable law or statute implies any terms 
or imposes any liability on SFS Software which cannot lawfully be 
excluded from the licence terms:

	(a)	such terms are included in, or as the case may require, 
such liability is not excluded by, the licence terms; and

	(b)	the liability of SFS Software for a breach of such terms 
or, as the case may be, such liability, will be limited to the maximum 
extent permitted under such law or statute.

12.	Nothing in the licence terms entitles you to support or 
maintenance services, updates or new releases in respect of the software.

13.	You acknowledge and warrant that:

	(a)	you will acquire a key only after satisfying yourself as 
to the fitness of the software for the purpose to which you intend to put 
it;

	(b)	you have not relied on any representation made by SFS 
Software which is not stated expressly in the licence terms or upon any 
descriptions, illustrations or specifications contained in any document 
including catalogues or publicity material produced by SFS Software.

14.	You acknowledge that the software, including the key and all 
accompanying documentation, are the subject of copyright.  You shall not 
at any time permit any act which infringes that copyright and, without 
limiting the foregoing, you specifically acknowledge that you may not 
reproduce or copy the software or the key except as otherwise expressly 
authorised by the licence terms.

15.	You shall fully indemnify SFS Software against all liabilities, 
costs and expenses which SFS Software may incur as a result of a breach 
of the provisions of the licence terms by you or permitted by you.

16.	The agreement comprising the licence terms may be terminated by 
SFS Software in the following circumstances:

	(a)	if you are in breach of any term of the licence terms;

	(b)	if you, being a corporation, become the subject of 
insolvency proceedings;

	(c)	if you, being a firm or partnership, are dissolved;

	(d)	if you, being a natural person, die;

	(e)	if you destroy the software and documentation for any 
reason; 

	(f)	any circumstances not contemplated by the licence terms 
occur which make it reasonable for SFS Software to terminate that 
agreement; or

	(g)	SFS Software gives you a notice of its intention to 
terminate that agreement, and you do not, within 14 days of dispatch of 
that notice, communicate your intention to continue that agreement.

17.	Upon such termination, you must cause all remaining copies of the 
software (including the key and all accompanying documentation) to be 
destroyed or otherwise returned, disposed of or dealt with in the manner 
directed by SFS Software.

18.	Such termination shall not affect any rights or remedies which 
SFS Software may otherwise have under the licence terms or at law.

19.	The benefit of the licence terms shall not be dealt with in any 
way by you (whether by assignment, sub-licensing or otherwise) without 
SFS Software's written consent.

20.	Failure or neglect by either party to enforce at any time any of 
the provisions of the licence terms shall not be construed or deemed to 
be a waiver of that party's rights under the licence terms.

21.	The licence terms shall be governed by and construed according to 
the law of the State of Thuringia, Germany and SFS Software and you 
submit to the jurisdiction of courts and tribunals exercising 
jurisdiction in that State.
