NEWTERMS.TXT ------------ July 20,1993 It is IMPORTANT that you read this file before sending in an update or registration form !!! =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= Starting July 1, 1993, ALL update and registration fees and terms are at the sole discretion of the author, Carl J. Hafner, and are subject to change without notice. The author retains ALL copyright, ownership and other property rights to ALL files and/or file collections. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= CURRENT TERMS ------------- The following terms refer to ANY and ALL files or file collections of ANY type, written or produced by the author, Carl J. Hafner. 1) Any terms of update and/or registration will be honored for a period not to exceed 90 days of a file and/or file collections release as long as the update and/or registration being submitted is for a version of the file and/or file collection which occurred within those 90 days and as long as the terms of update and/or registration have been met for that particular file and/or file collection. What this means is that if you update and/or register within these 90 days, you will NOT be subject to any increases which MAY occur within those 90 days. If you are planning to register and/or update a file and/or file collection and it is more than 90 days past the date at the top of this document and/or if it is more than 90 days past the release date of a file and/or file collection, you may wish to contact the author for a current list of titles, versions, terms and fees. This will ensure that the file and/or file collection you are updating and/or registering is still available and that the update/registration fees you are sending in are current and correct. See below for ordering information. 2) Anyone sending for a list of current terms and titles will receive a 30 day grace period (effective from the postmark date on the envelope). These 30 days will NOT be added to the 90 days referred to above unless the postmark occurs on the 90th day of a file or file collections release. Instead, they may run either concurrent or may even overlap. If you register and/or update during this period, you will NOT be subject to any increases which MAY occur during this time. 3) At the discretion of the author, any materials which cannot be processed will be returned. The author may also choose to contact the party submitting an update and/or registration to inform them of the latest terms and fees. At this point the party will have the option of either sending in whatever materials may be required to fulfill the update and/or registration terms, or of having any materials which have been submitted, returned. 4) All materials furnished by the author have been checked for damage. If you receive a disk which HAS been damaged, RETURN the damaged disk for an immediate replacement. REGISTRATION ------------ 5) In paying the registration fee for a file and/or file collection, you are licensing that file and/or file collection for YOUR OWN PERSONAL USE for as long as you do NOT violate the following conditions. a) You are free to make copies for your own personal use or for archival storage purposes. b) You may NOT rent, lend or give a registered file and/or file collection to anyone who is NOT a registered owner of the same file and/or file collection. c) You may NOT place a registered file and/or file collection on a Bulletin Board Service (BBS). d) You AGREE to pay the author for any damages which may occur due to your voluntary or involuntary violation of these conditions. e) You agree to abide by any additional registration terms set forth in any file and/or file collections documentation. Violation of your registration agreement will result in the instant revocation of ANY and ALL registration agreements you may have made with the author. You will NOT be eligible for ANY future updates OR registrations for ANY file and/or file collection by the author. It is up to you to uphold this agreement ! UPGRADES -------- 6) Registered users in good standing will receive notification of updates as they become available. All update forms have an option to NOT order the update, but to remain on the update mailing list. If you do not return an update form AT ALL, your name will be removed from the mailing list. You will STILL be eligible for updates. You won't, however, receive notification of them. 7) By sending in an update and/or registration form you are stating that you have read, understood and completely agree with the terms set forth in this file/document and agree to abide by them. A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR ---------------------- (or what does all of this mean?) As program versions develop, so usually do their features. A program with a few features which was available several years ago for, say, $5.00, may now have many features and have a current registration fee of say, $15.00. To try and avoid the cost and delay of correspondence in bringing an interested party up to date, this file was created. If you have obtained a file and/or file collection which is fairly old, you should definitely send for a current list of titles, versions, terms and fees. This will ensure that the title you are sending for is still available and that the update/registration materials you are submitting are current and correct. With only a couple of exceptions, registration fees have remained the same for the past couple of years. The one notable increase was a materials/ shipping/handling fee which was the direct result of the lack of Shareware support. After I switched to DEMOS, registrations increased. I realize it's a bit inconvenient at times to have to "order" a file, but there was ample evidence of piracy and this seemed the appropriate response. My apologies to all of you HONEST Shareware supporters out there and my sincerest THANKS for your continued support ! Uncle Carl CURRENT TERMS AND TITLES ------------------------ To obtain a list of current terms, titles and fees, send a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope (SASE) to... Carl J. Hafner RR 2, Box 184C Hawley, PA. 18428 U.S.A. ATTN: Titles Foreign requests may include a stamp for my stamp collection and in return I'll cover the postage :-) .
