Trial period and registration
=============================

GREP is shareware, *not* public domain software. You may use it at no
charge for an evaluation period of 30 days only. To continue to use
GREP beyond the 30-day evaluation period, you must register it.

The "must" in the previous paragraph is a legal and moral must, not an
engineering must. This copy of GREP is not crippled or time limited in
any way.



Registration options
====================

Options 1 through 3 apply per user, not per computer. One user may
legitimately install GREP on multiple computers that are used regularly
by that user, provided that no more than one of those computers is in
use at any one time.

If you register two or more Oak Road Systems products at the same
time, or if you have registered any Oak Road Systems products in the
past, you may take a 10-percent discount off the cost of your new
registrations.

    Option 1: Basic registration
    ============================

Basic registration entitles one user to use GREP forever. It also
entitles you to priority response to questions or bug reports.

Basic registration also entitles you to notice by email (at the last
address you sent me) of all future versions of GREP. You can download
any future version from the Web address given in the notice, or if you
email me a request within 30 days of the notice I will email the new
version to you.

If you register the latest released version, you are considered a
registered user for all future versions of GREP, without payment of
any additional fee.

Fee for basic registration:
            Base price: $10
            Foreign-currency price: equivalent of $12 (cash only)

    Option 2: Registration with disk
    ================================

Registration with disk entitles you to all the rights of basic
registration, plus I will mail you a DOS-format disk containing the
latest version of GREP and a bonus utility.

Please note that registration with disk entitles you to electronic
copies of future versions of GREP, not to copies on disk. If you want
any future disks, you must pay a handling charge (currently $10 U.S./
$12 foreign currency, but may be raised in future).

Fee for registration with disk:
            Base price: $10 + $10 handling, total $20
            Foreign-currency price: equivalent of $24 (cash only)

    Option 3: Registration with source code
    =======================================

Registration with source code entitles you to all the rights of
registration with disk, plus I will include the latest source code for
GREP on the disk. (The source code is presently in ISO/ANSI C and
compiles in Microsoft Visual C/C++, but I reserve the right to change
compilers or programming languages.)

You purchase the right to examine the source code and, if you wish, to
modify and recompile it for your own use. You do not have the right to
sell or otherwise distribute any derivative products without my
agreement in advance.

If you make a substantial improvement in the source code of GREP and
offer it to me for inclusion in the product, and I accept it, I will
refund all or a part of your registration fee. The amount of refund
will be in my sole discretion.

Fee for registration with source code:
            Base price: $40 + $10 handling, total $50
            Foreign-currency price: equivalent of $60 (cash only)

    Option 4: Site license
    ======================

If you have more than a few users, please contact me for substantial
discounts as compared to the per-user license.

How to register
===============

Please print REGISTER.TXT and mail it to me with your payment in
currency, check, or money order.

U.S. customers: pay the indicated base price.

Customers outside the U.S.: If at all possible, please mail the
indicated base price in U.S. currency or a U.S.-dollar-denominated
check or money order. U.S. banks charge punitive fees for converting
foreign-currency checks. If you cannot mail U.S. funds, please convert
the indicated foreign-currency price to your currency. U.S. banks
won't convert foreign coins, so please round up to the next unit of
paper money.

Sorry, I am not set up to accept payment by credit card, check or
money order in other than U.S. funds, or corporate purchase order.

If your check is dishonored by your bank for any reason, you agree to
make the check good and to pay the fee charged by my bank.



Redistributing GREP
===================

You are free to distribute unmodified copies of the complete GREP
package (GREPSBnn.ZIP), provided you charge no more than $1. The total
price of a compilation (such as a CD-ROM) that includes GREP must be
no more than $1 per package in the compilation.

You have the right to redistribute GREP under these terms even if you
have not registered it yourself.



Support for GREP
================

Support is available through email at the address given below. I'm
sorry, but at the given fees for registration it is not economical for
me to provide phone support. (Phone support may be negotiated in
advance with a site license.)

I guarantee that I will respond to the best of my ability, and as
promptly as is reasonably possible, to all reasonable queries from
registered users. I intend to respond to queries from unregistered
users as well, but will give priority to registered users.

Address queries, bug reports, and suggested improvements to:

Warranty for GREP
=================

I will gratefully receive defect reports and suggestions for
improvement related to the software or documentation, and it is my
intention to continue to improve GREP. But I do not guarantee that GREP
is now free of defects or that I will necessarily act on any defect
reports or suggestions received.

The software and documentation for GREP are offered AS IS and without
any warranty express or implied, including but not limited to warranty
of design, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. In no
event shall I be liable for any incidental, indirect, special, or
consequential damages resulting from your use of or inability to use
the software or documentation, even if I or my representative have
been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event will my total liability to you for all damages, losses,
and causes of action, whether in contract, tort (including
negligence), or otherwise, exceed the amount paid by you for the
software, exclusive of handling charges and currency conversion fees.



Controlling law
===============

This license shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Ohio, U.S.A. Any dispute arising out of this license shall be
subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of federal and state courts
located in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, U.S.A., or in the jurisdiction where
Oak Road Systems may be located at the time of such dispute.
