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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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'').
- 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.
- 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.
- 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:
- All terms of the above License Agreement apply, except those
pertaining to free use.
- 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.
- 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.
