NEWTERMS.TXT ------------ October 27, 1993 It is IMPORTANT that you read ALL documentation accompanying a file and/or file collection ! By sending in an UPDATE and/or REGISTRATION form you are stating that you have FULLY read, understood and agree with ALL terms set forth in ANY and ALL documentation accompanying a file and/or file collection. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= 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 and have met the terms of update and/or registration of a file and/or file collection, you will NOT be subject to any increases which may (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 even overlap. If you register and/or update during this period and have met the terms of update and/or registration for a file and/or file collection, you will NOT be subject to any increases which may (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, please RETURN the damaged disk for an immediate replacement. REGISTRATION AND LICENSING -------------------------- 5) In paying the registration fee for a DEMO file and/or file collection you are ordering AND licensing a fully working copy of 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 licensed file and/or file collection to anyone who is NOT a licensed owner of the same file and/or file collection. c) You may NOT place a licensed 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 and/or licensing terms set forth in any file and/or file collections documentation. In paying the registration fee for a FULLY WORKING file and/or file collection you are... a) Stating that you have read, understood AND completely agree with any and all terms of registration set forth in a file and/or file collections documentation and/or this document and AGREE to abide by these terms. b) Stating that you understand that you will NOT receive a licensed copy of a file and/or file collection unless specifically requested. If you DO request a licensed copy you are stating that you have read and FULLY understand all of the terms associated with licensing a file and/or file collection and AGREE to abide by them. REGISTERED and/or LICENSED users are free to use any successive versions of files and/or file collections of which they are either a REGISTERED and/or LICENSED user and which are obtained from sources other than the author at no additional fee. In other words, if you receive a fully working update of a file and/or file collection from say, a SHAREWARE/PD software distributor, and are a REGISTERED and/or LICENSED user of that file and/or file collection, you do NOT need to send in any update fee. See below for further update information. LICENSED and/or REGISTERED copies of a file and/or file collection can generally be identified by an appropriate notice on the copyright screen. Violation of your licensing and/or registration agreement will result in the instant revocation of ANY and ALL registration and/or licensing 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 ! REGISTERED/LICENSED UPDATES --------------------------- As a registered and/or licensed user of any file and/or file collection you will receive notification of major updates (if applicable, see below) as they become available. MAJOR updates usually entail the addition of several features which were not available in a previous version of a file and/or file collection. MINOR updates usually entail the reworking of existing features in an effort to maximize compatibility with different systems, software and/or hardware. REGISTERED/LICENSED SUPPORT --------------------------- Due to current costs, support is currently ONLY available through the U.S. Post Office (regular mail). If you are a REGISTERED and/or LICENSED user of a file and/or file collection you ARE, of course, eligible to receive FULL technical support. This includes, but is not limited to... o Clarification of features not readily understood. o If/when available, access to special advance copies of files and/or file collections containing new and/or requested features and/or bug fixes. UPGRADES -------- 6) Registered and/or Licensed users in good standing will receive notification of updates as they become available. The phrase "in good standing" in this context means registered and/or licensed users who have NOT violated their registration and/or licensing agreement and have opted to remain on the mailing list. 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. Upgrade fees are generally designed to offset the cost of materials, shipping and handling. Each file and/or file collection contains, when applicable, the current terms of update for that particular file and/or file collection. 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 ANY and ALL documentation accompanying a file and/or file collection 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 for which you are sending 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 :-) .
