============================================================================= Epic MegaGames LICENSING AGREEMENT ============================================================================= This file, LICENSE.DOC, describes the only terms by which Epic MegaGames permits other parties to distribute this program throughout the world. General terms: 1. Distribution by modem: Epic MegaGames allows and encourages all bulletin board systems and online services to distribute this game by modem as long as no files are altered or removed. If a distribution fee is charged for this software, you must additionally ensure that: A. Epic MegaGames is credited as the publisher of the file. B. The file is identified as shareware. C. The shareware concept is explained adequately elsewhere online. 2. Distribution of single programs by floppy disk: Shareware vendors may distribute this program alone on a floppy disk if the following conditions are met: A. You explain the shareware concept and describe this program as shareware. (Shareware is "try-before-you-buy" software, and the price paid by users for shareware is a distribution charge only). B. You credit Epic MegaGames as the publisher of this software in all catalog descriptions and any other written descriptions. C. You sell the software for less that $9, and only sell the most current version of it. D. If you want, you may include your own installation routines with this program. E. Other than installation routines, no other programs may be included on the floppy disk that contains this program, i.e. no bundling or multi- program diskettes. F. No files are modified or deleted. 3. CD-Roms and multi-disk packs: If you wish to commercially distribute this program on a CD-Rom or a pack of several disks (through mail-order, wholesale, retail, or any other channels), you need to follow these terms and conditions: A. You explain the shareware concept and describe this program as shareware. B. You credit Epic MegaGames as the publisher of this software in all catalogs and program descriptions. C. The entire CD-Rom or collection may contain no more than a total of 10 programs (not including installation routines and support utilities). D. The CD-Rom may contain no more than 4 programs from Epic MegaGames (not including installation routines and support utilities). E. The front-cover packaging must contain the word "Shareware" in large type. F. The name "Epic MegaGames", as well as the names of all Epic MegaGames products included on the CD-Rom, must appear on the front-cover packaging in large type. G. No files may be modified or deleted. H. Please send us a copy of the CD-Rom as soon as it has been manufactured. Reasons for these conditions: We do appreciate CD-Rom distribution when it is focused on bringing users a few great shareware products at a good price. But the numerous 10,000-program CD's that are hitting the stores aren't helping Epic authors and distributors achieve their goal of getting high- quality distribution and registrations. So, please don't include this software on a gigantic CD-Rom stuffed with programs. But do consider doing a small, high-quality CD-Rom that focuses on a few good products - that will bring in good sales for both you and us, and that will make us all happy. 4. Any distribution in a retail environment: Any party wishing to sell Epic MegaGames products in a retail environment must meet all of the above conditions that apply, in addition to the following: A. The following must be included in large type on the front cover of all packaging: The name "Epic MegaGames", the name of this program, and the word "Shareware". B. Please send us a copy of your packaging for every Epic MegaGames program you distribute as soon as the packaging has been manufactured. 5. Bundling with hardware: You may bundle Epic MegaGames products with new hardware (computers, sound cards, etc) as long as you don't modify or delete any program files. 5. Other distribution opportunities: Please contact us if you would like to distribute Epic shareware products in a new and unique way. We are open to new opportunities, and we appreciate new and unique forms of distribution as a way of reaching new customers. 6. Violation of the agreement: If you distribute this software in violation of the terms of this agreement, you are liable to Epic MegaGames for damages of not less than $1 per copy distributed or the registration fee, whichever is greater. 7. Other terms and conditions: A. Trademarks: "Trademarks" refers to the name of this program and the name Epic MegaGames, which are trademarks of Epic MegaGames. B. Ownership: Except as expressly licensed by Epic MegaGames, we have and reserve the exclusive copyright and all other rights, title and interest to distribute this program, and to use Trademarks in connection with them. C. Current version: All previous versions of this program have been withdrawn from shareware. This version replaces any previous versions. D. Your right to distribute under this license is personal, and does not include any right to sublicense the Program. E. THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED "AS-IS". NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE AS TO IT OR ANY MEDIUM IT MAY BE ON. WE WILL PROVIDE NO REMEDY FOR INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM IT, INCLUDING SUCH FROM NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT, EVEN AFTER NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. F. TERM: This License may be terminated by Epic MegaGames by giving a 30 day advance written notice. G. With respect to every matter arising under this License, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts sitting in Potomac, Maryland, and to service by certified mail, return receipt requested, or as otherwise permitted by law. 8.
