8. Shareware Definition and Demo Version.

Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some provide all features for a limited time, and some provide limited features without a time limit. With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the software to an enhanced program with printed manual.

Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors require written permission before a book publisher may bundle their software onto a CD.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.

TORSION is a "shareware program" and the shareware version is provided at no charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products. If you find this program useful and find that you are using TORSION and continue to use TORSION after a reasonable trial period, you must make a registration payment to SICKHEAD GAMES, LLC. The registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like a book. An example is that this software may be used by any number of people and may be freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the same time.

This software can be purchased exclusively via the web at: http://www.garagegames.com/products/106/

Commercial users of TORSION must register and pay for their copies of TORSION within 25 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting tima@garagegames.com.

Anyone distributing TORSION for any kind of remuneration must first contact SICKHEAD GAMES, LLC at the address below for authorization. This authorization will be automatically granted to distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering TORSION immediately (However SICKHEAD GAMES, LLC must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest version of TORSION .).

You are encouraged to pass a copy of TORSION along to your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users will receive a copy of the latest version of TORSION.

The demo / shareware version will cease to work 25 days after installation.
