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 must register. All copyright laws apply to 
shareware, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a 
few specific exceptions as stated below. Like shelfware authors, 
shareware authors are accomplished programmers, and the programs 
are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good 
programs and bad ones!) The difference is the method of 
distribution.  The shareware author specifically grants the 
right to copy and distribute the software, either in general or 
to a specific group. 

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You 
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether 
it's found on a store shelf or shareware. Shareware 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.

ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES, DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL, WHICH MAY 
RESULT FROM THE USE OF THE PROGRAM.

"SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL 
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO

U.S. Government Restricted Rights Legend: 

If the program is acquired by an agency or other part of the U.S.

provided with Restricted Rights and use, duplication, or disclosure 
by the Government is subject to restrictions as set forth in 
subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) or (b)(3)(ii) of the Rights in Technical 
Data and Computer Program clause at DFARS 252.227-7013 or in 
subparagraphs (c)(1) and (2) of the Commercial Computer Program --

License Agreement:

Hi, Finance! is provided at no charge to the user for evaluation.  
Share it with your friends, but please do not give it away altered 
or as part of another application package.  Please remind them to 
register if they find that they can use it. The essence of 
"user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users 
with quality software at bargain prices, and yet to provide 
incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products.

If you find that you are using Hi, Finance! after a reasonable 
trial period, you must make a registration payment of $59 (plus 
$5 S&H per order) to Brightridge Solutions, Inc.  Registered 
users will receive the latest version and a printed manual.

Treat this program like a book.  For example, 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.  Site-License or quantity arrangements at substantial 
discounts are available.

Anyone distributing Hi, Finance! for any kind of remuneration 
must first contact Brightridge Solutions, Inc. for authorization.  
This is automatically granted to members of the Association of 
Shareware Professionals (ASP), who may begin offering Hi, Finance! 
immediately (However we must still be advised so the distributor 
can be kept up-to-date with the latest version).


ASP Ombudsman Statement:

shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the

help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but 
does not provide technical support for members' products.
