DEFINITION OF 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. 1.1 Copyright 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. 1.2 Licence ImgFun 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 ImgFun and continue to use ImgFun after a reasonable trial period, you must make a registration payment of $35.00 to Speedy Software. The $35.00 registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like a book. An example is that this software may be used by any number of people and may be freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the same time. register.txt Speedy Software page 2 1.3 DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT Users of ImgFun must accept this disclaimer of warranty: "ImgFun is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchant ability and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the use of ImgFun". 1.4 Try before you pay 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. 1.5 PRIVILEGES FOR REGISTRATION You are encouraged to pass a copy of ImgFun along to your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copies if they find that they can use it. Registered users will receive a copy of the latest version of ImgFun+ some bonus utilities developed from the feed back of users. At this date of writing , the bonus includes stand alone jpeg to gif, and gif to jpeg programs, a print out program for Epson compatible dot matrix printers, and a print out program for HP laser jets or compatibles and the complete LHA and LZEXE packages for excellent lossless data compression. This package is packed to serve the need of data compression to let you regain precious disk space in your system, and also let you enjoy the results of the latest development in ImgFun for your computer images. 1.6 Commercial Users Commercial users of ImgFun must register and pay for their copies of ImgFun within 21 days of first use or their licence is withdrawn.
