License Agreement ----------------- This section tells you is how to become a registered user once you decide that you like the program and want to use it on a regular basis. Bingo is distributed under the shareware marketing concept; it is not free software and it has not been released to the public domain. The documentation, executable images, and all other files distributed with Bingo are copyrighted. Shareware is a way of distributing computer software that allows you to try out a program before you purchase it. Programs distributed as shareware typically give you some period of time to use the program and evaluate its usefulness to you. If the program doesn't meet your needs, you're under no obligation to pay for it. If you do find the program useful and wish to continue using it on a regular basis, the shareware program's author usually requests that you pay for the program by sending him or her a completed registration form and payment. This is the approach I have taken in making Bingo available to the public. If you find Bingo to be a useful addition to your software library, you're requested to become a registered user by completing the enclosed registration form and returning it along with the indicated license/registration fee. I hope that you will agree that the $30.00 license fee is a small price to pay for the continued use of the program. It requires a large investment to develop, market, and support a product of this complexity. Your support in the form of a license/registration fee will continue to make good software available at low prices. Quantity discounts are available to business, government, and other organizations that wish to use Bingo on multiple computer systems. Bingo is also available at very special rates to organizations who wish to use it in promotional campaigns. Write the author for information on using the program this way. You are granted a limited license to use and examine Bingo on a trial basis to determine if Bingo is suitable for your needs. If you find Bingo useful and continue to use it on a regular basis, you should complete and return the registration form along with the indicated license/registration fee. You are encouraged to make copies of Bingo for the trial use of other individuals and organizations, subject to the following restrictions: 1) All Bingo distribution files must be copied in unmodified form. 2) You may not include any other files with the distributed copy. 3) You may not request compensation of any sort for providing the copy. This restriction does not apply to computer clubs and user groups who distribute software to their members for a nominal fee. You may not distribute Bingo with any other product or service without written permission of the author. Bingo may be included on electronic bulletin board systems for downloading by users of the bulletin board provided the above restrictions are met. Bingo and all accompanying materials are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. The entire risk of using Bingo is assumed by you. The author, Christopher R. S. Schanck, makes no warranty of any kind, expressed or implied, including but not limited to any warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. In no event will the author, Christopher R. S. Schanck, be liable for any damages whatsoever arising out of your use or inability to use the program. If you use Bingo on a regular basis, you should complete the registration form at the end of this document and return it along with the indicated license/registration fee. Registration gives you the right to use the software as documented in the license. The registration fee of $30.00 establishes you as a registered user of Bingo. You will receive the next version of Bingo free. After that, you will be notified of each subsequent version, and they will be available for a five (5) dollar fee. When you submit your registration fee, however, you can request that the author mail you a copy of the current version of Bingo and accompanying documentation on disk (3.5" or 5.25") for free. This offer is made for mailing addresses in the continental United States only. Registration Form - Bingo 2.01 ------------------------------ Remit to: Christopher R.S.
