TAPCIS software ("the Software") is a computer program licensed by Support Group, Inc. ("Support Group") that automates the process of communicating with the CompuServe Information Service ("CompuServe"), which is offered by CompuServe Incorporated. The Software is designed to operate on IBM PC and compatible computers under the MS/PC-DOS operating system. TAPCIS AND COMPUSERVE. Support Group is not affiliated with CompuServe Incorporated. Since the Software interacts with CompuServe, the ability of the Software to function is subject to changes in CompuServe. SHAREWARE LICENSE. A limited license at no charge is granted to all CompuServe subscribers to use, test and duplicate the enclosed version of the Software for no more than 21 calendar days. Thereafter, if you did not license the Software directly from Support Group, you must either pay the license fee to continue to use the Software or cease all use of the Software. You will be an infringer if you use this version of the Software for more than 21 days without paying the license fee. FULL LICENSE. When a license fee is paid, Support Group will grant a non- exclusive license to use the Software by one natural person (the "licensee"). Licensed copies of the Software may be kept only on computers used by the licensee. No purported transfer of the license shall be effective unless the person transferring the license (the "transferor") (a) notifies Support Group of the name, address and CompuServe identification of the recipient of the license (the "transferee"), and (b) transfers all copies of the Software to the transferee, and (c) removes or destroys any other copies of the Software in the possession or under the control of the transferor. COMMERCIAL LICENSE. Commercial organizations are granted a limited license of 21 calendar days duration during which time individuals in the organization may evaluate the Software. After that evaluation period, the organization may pay Support Group for the following, whichever is least: (a) a site license, or (b) licenses for each user of the Software, or (c) licenses for each computer the Software is used on. Commercial users should contact Support Group for further information. LIMITED WARRANTY. The Software is distributed and licensed on an "as is" basis. For a period of ninety (90) days from the date that you pay the license fees for the Software, you may return any disks and documentation provided by Support Group, and destroy all copies of the Software and the documentation that you have made, and you will receive a refund of the license fees that you paid to Support Group. LIMITATION OF REMEDIES. Should you encounter problems with the Software, Support Group's entire liability and your exclusive remedy shall be, at the sole option of Support Group, either (a) to terminate the license and return any license fees that you paid Support Group for the Software, or (b) repair or replace the Software. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. Support Group make no claims as to the suitability of the Software for any specific use. Except for the Limited Warranty stated above, Support Group disclaims any and all other warranties, express or implied, oral or written, including any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The limited warranty stated above gives you specific legal rights, but you may have other rights, which vary from state to state. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. In no event shall Support Group be liable for any damages whatsoever arising out of the use of the Software, including without limitation any direct, incidental or consequential damages or any damages for loss of profits, business interruption, loss of information or any pecuniary loss even if Support Group has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some states do not allow exclusion or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, therefore the above limitation may not apply to you.
