  VI.  General



I. Grant of Usage

The software 'The Next Tool' for Windows(R) 95 is shareware. That
means you can try out the software for 45 days free of charge. If you
want to use the software after the 45 day evaluation period, you have
to purchase a registered user license. If you purchase the license,
you will get a personal registration code to register the software
and the right to use the software permanently.

If you use a version of the software that is not registered, a
shareware reminder will appear about 10 days after the software was
installed. After 45 days the reminder screen will temporarily block
the use of the program and you can remove the reminder screen without
quitting the program only after an increasing period of time.

Purchasing a registered user license and a registration code only
entitles the use of the software by one person on one computer system
at one given moment in time. If the software is to be used on a number
of computer systems at the same time, a registered user license and
registration code must be purchased for each installation of the
software.

The software may be duplicated and distributed without a registration
code according to the guidelines that are named below. Renting, lending
or modifying the software is not permitted. Decompiling, disassembling
or reverse engineering the software is only permitted to obtain
information that is necessary to establish the interoperability of
a computer program that was created independently.



II. Exclusion of High Risk Activities

The software 'The Next Tool' for Windows(R) 95 is not fault-tolerant
and is not designed, manufactured or intended for use in hazardous
environments requiring fail-safe performance.
You may not use 'The Next Tool' on or in conjuncton with systems that
serve the operation of power stations, nuclear facilities, aircraft
navigation or communication, air, sea or street traffic control, direct
life support, medical diagnosis or industrial process control. You may
also not use 'The Next Tool' on or in conjunction with any system, where
failure of the software could lead directly to death, personal injury,
or severe physical or environmental damage. You may also not use 'The
Next Tool' on or in conjunction with systems that are interlinked with
systems that serve any of the purposes named above.



III.  Limited Warranty and Disclaimer of Liability

You have the chance to try out the software 'The Next Tool' for
45 days free of charge. The general duty of care and good data
processing procedure dictate that any program be thoroughly tested
with non-critical data before relying on it. You must assume the
entire risk of using the program when testing it. The authors shall
not be liable for any damages or costs, direct or consequential,
that arise from the free use of the software.

The software is supplied as is. As the software may be used in various
hardware and software environments that are not foreseeable by the
authors, there is no warranty for the correctness of the software and
its suitability for a certain purpose.

During the free of charge test period, you must determine that the
software sufficiently meets your requirements. The purchase of a
registered user license takes place for the software 'as is' during
the test period. No claims may arise from the purchase of a registered
user license for the removal of defects that are obvious and/or known
to the user before the purchase of the license.

The registration code that you get if you purchase a registered user
license will also work with other versions of the software 'The Next
Tool' for Windows(R) 95. (Note: If you purchase a license through a
reseller, you may obtain a registration code that doesn't work with
other versions of the software. In this case, you can contact the
authors and send a proof of purchase in order to get a registration
code that also works with other versions of the software.) It is up
to you to decide whether or not to use another version of the software.
However, other versions may differ from the version for which the
registered user license was purchased. The authors don't warrant that
other versions of the software show the same behaviour or offer the
same features. Before using another version of the software, you have to
determine that the other version sufficiently meets your requirements.
The general duty of care and good data processing procedure dictate
that any program be thoroughly tested with non-critical data before
relying on it. You must assume the entire risk of using another version
of the program when testing it. The authors shall not be liable for any
damages or costs, direct or consequential, that arise from the free
use of another version of the software. No claims may arise from the
purchase of a registered user license that other versions of the
software show a certain behaviour or offer certain features. If you are
not satisfied with another version of the software, you can still use
the version of the software that you had the chance to evaluate before
purchasing the registered user license.

In the case of a complaint, the licensee is committed to send his
registration code, a proof of purchase and a comprehensible and
verifiable description of the defect to the authors. The warranty
period is six months from the date of the purchase of the registered
user license. If a repair or the delivery of a replacement does not
remove an essential defect within a reasonable period of time, the
licensee has the right to step back from the agreement or demand
a reduction of the license fee.

The authors shall not be liable for defects or damages that arise from
a modification of the software by a third person, from a use of the
software that does not correspond to the functionality as it is
described in the documentation or from the non-observance of notes
in the documentation or this license agreement. In these cases, the
authors shall especially not be liable for side effects or damaging
after-effects of a defect.

The authors shall only be liable for damages of the licensee as far
as they arise from intentional actions or gross negligence or from the
violation of an essential duty by the authors or as far as they have
to be compensated according to applicable law.
The entire liability of the authors and the user's exclusive remedy
shall be, at the option of the authors, either the return of the license
fee paid, or the repair or replacement of the software. Further claims
by the licensee are excluded.

This limitation of liability is valid for all claims of compensation,
regardless of the cause in law. The limitation of liability does not
cover damages for which an imperative legal liability exists. For any
other damaging after-effects of a defect, the authors shall only be
liable in the limited way described above.
