Appendix B: Terms and Conditions

License Agreement

Please read this section in full before installing BlackBook.

In the following text, ``BlackBook'' refers to this software package and all accompanying files and utilities. ``The author'' refers to Viet-Tam Luu, creator of BlackBook and owner of the copyright to BlackBook.

BlackBook is freeware. This means that you do not have to pay for the right to use and distribute it, with the following terms, conditions and restrictions:

  1. As freeware, BlackBook may only be used for your own personal (non-work or business-related) use. If you are a charity, please apply with the author for a free license.

  2. If the above condition does not apply to you, i.e. if you are a business, non-charity organization, or if you otherwise plan to use BlackBook for commercial purposes, you must additionally abide by the terms of the Commercial License Agreement, below.

  3. As freeware, no fee may be charged for the distribution of the BlackBook license. In other words, the only fee that you are allowed to charge when distributing BlackBook is a modest fee to cover the cost of the media or other means of distribution (e.g. on-line time).

  4. You may only distribute BlackBook in its original distribution package form, i.e. in the form released by the author (either a single archive file, e.g. bbk100c.zip or a single self-extracting archive, e.g. bbk100c.exe). You may not distribute modified versions of the distribution file. If you need a special form of distribution, please contact the author for authorization. You may, however, include the distribution file (unmodified) as part of another archive. You may also rename the distribution file, as long as it still contains some representation of the name ``BlackBook'' (e.g. ``BB,'' ``BBook'', etc.) and the version number (the actual version number, e.g. "1.00c" or without the decimal point, e.g. ``100C'').

  5. You may not modify any executable files included with BlackBook. This includes BlackBook.exe, BBNotify.exe, BBNotif.exe, and Install.exe, and any other executables. You may not distribute as part of the BlackBook package any modified versions of other files in the distribution.

  6. In using BlackBook, you agree that you cannot hold the author responsible or liable for any damages and losses (monetary, material, or otherwise) caused directly or indirectly by the use, installation, or distribution of BlackBook. This includes damages and losses that may caused by agents such as computer viruses that may become attached to the distribution file.

  7. By installing and/or using BlackBook, you have stated your implicit agreement to this and all above terms. Upon violation of these terms and conditions, the author reserves the right to withdraw your license to use and/or distribute BlackBook, and to take further legal action should he feel it necessary.

Commercial License Agreement

If you are using BlackBook for commercial, governmental, or educational purposes, or in such a setting, or for any purposes that would not be considered ``personal use,'' the following additional terms apply to you:

  1. All terms of the above License Agreement apply, except those pertaining to free use.

  2. You may distribute BlackBook freely to other parties. Those parties must also comply with the terms of both the License Agreement and the Commercial License Agreement (if applicable), including additional licensing fees, etc.

  3. License fees: You must pay the author of BlackBook a license fee. Note that you are not paying for the software itself; you are paying for the right to use the software. Payment of a license fee gives you the right for an indefinite period of time to use BlackBook for whatever purposes you see fit.

    License fees are calculated according to the number of BlackBook installations or users (whatever is smallest) at your site, as follows:

    Number of Users Fee per User
    1 to 5 CDN $30.00
    6 to 25 CDN $26.00
    26 to 100 CDN $23.00
    101 or more CDN $20.00

    Prices are listed in Canadian dollars. Prices in other currencies are the same amount in Canadian dollars, calculated according to current (at the time of payment) exchange rates.

    Please contact the author about methods of payment accepted.

    Payment of a license fee gives you the right for an indefinite period of time to use BlackBook for whatever purposes you see fit.
