All rights reserved. The software is intellectual property of the
authors and protected by copyright laws and international copyright
treaties. Without written permission of the authors, no part of the
software or the documentation that belongs to the software may be
reproduced, processed by electronic systems, distributed or
duplicated, except according to the guidelines that are named in
this license agreement.



II. Grant of Usage

The software 'The Next Tool' for Windows(R) 95 is shareware. That
means the software can be tried out for 45 days free of charge.
If the software is to be used permanently, the user has to purchase
a user license. By purchasing the user license, the user obtains a
personal registration code as well as the right to use the software
permanently.

If an unregistered version of the software is used or the software
is used without a registration code, a notification will appear about
10 days after the software was installed. After 45 days, the
notification will block the use of the program and can be removed
without quitting the program only after an increasing period of time.

Distributing the unregistered version of the software is permitted,
provided that none of the conditions that are named in this license
agreement are violated.

By purchasing a user license, the customer obtains the right to use
the software without restrictions, according to the guidelines that
are named in this license agreement. Purchasing a user license and
a registration code only entitles the use of the software by one
person on one computer system at one given moment in time. If the
software is to be used on a number of computer systems at the same
time, a user license and a registration code must be purchased for
each installation of the software.
The user license can be sold to a third person. In this case, the
seller loses the right to use the software with the registration
code that belongs to the license and the right to use the software
becomes property of the buyer. The authors leave it to the seller
and the buyer to inform them of the disposal of the user license,
so a personal registration code, which belongs to the user license,
can be generated for the buyer. Passing the registration code to a
third person implies passing the user license.

The software may be duplicated and distributed without the registration
code according to the guidelines that are named below. Renting, lending
or modifying the software as well as using the software on a number of
computer systems with the same registration code at the same time is
not permitted.
Decompiling or disassembling the software is only permitted to obtain
information that is necessary to establish the interoperability of a
computer program that was created independently.



III. Distribution Requirements

The software 'The Next Tool' for Windows(R) 95 is protected by copyright
laws and international copyright treaties. The software may be duplicated
and distributed as an unregistered version, that means only without
registration codes, according to the following guidelines and provided
that none of the conditions of this license agreement are violated.

- The software may only be distributed completely, including all files
that are named below. None of the files may be modified or omitted.

- The distribution has to be free of charge or for a common
contribution towards expenses.

- Including the software in public domain collections and the
distribution on public domain or shareware CD-ROMs as well as
spreading the software through computer networks and online
services is allowed.

- Selling the software commercially or distributing it as the sole
program on a data carrier without written permission of the authors
is not permitted.

The authors reserve themselves the right to limit or revoke the right
to distribute the software for individual persons without giving any
reasons.

V. Limited Warranty and Liability

a) Disclaimer of Warranty for the Use of the Software Without
Purchasing a User License and Without a Valid Registration Code

The user has the chance to try out the software for 45 days free
of charge. The software is supplied as is. There is no warranty for
the correctness of the software and its suitability for a certain
purpose and the authors shall not be liable for any damages, direct
of consequential, that arise from the free use of the software or
the use of the software without purchasing a user license and
without a valid registration code.


b) Limited Warranty for the Use of the Software After the Purchase
of a User License and the Use With a Valid Registration Code

The user has the chance to try out the software for 45 days free
of charge. The purchase of a user license takes place for the software
'as is' during the test period. No claim may arise from the purchase
of a user license for the removal of defects that are obvious and/or
already known to the user before the purchase of the user license.

The authors guarantee that the software 'The Next Tool' for
Windows(R) 95 corresponds to the product description and the
documentation in all essential points and shows no errors or
defects that limit the usability of the software regarding the
usage as it was possible and known to the user before the
purchase of the license, during the free test phase.

In the case of a complaint, the licensee is committed to send his
registration code and a comprehensible and verifiable description
of the defect to the authors, so the defect can be examined and,
if possible, removed and the software can be repaired. The costs
for the examination and the removal of the defect will be covered
by the authors if the complaint proves to be justified.

There is no warranty for defects or damages that arise from a
modification of the software by a third person, from a use of the
software that does not correspond to the functionality as it is
described in the online help or from the non-observance of notes
in the documentation. In these cases, the authors shall especially
not be liable for side effects or damaging after-effects of a defect.

If a repair or the delivery of a replacement does not remove an
essential defect within a reasonable period of time, the licensee
has the right to step back from the agreement or to demand a reduction
of the license fee. Further claims by the licensee are excluded.


c) Limited Liability

The authors shall only be liable for damages of the licensee as far as
they arise from intentional actions or gross negligence or from the
violation of an essential duty by the authors or as far as they have
to be compensated according to applicable law.

In any case, the liability of the authors shall be limited to those
typical damages the occurrence of which the authors have to sensibly
expect according to the circumstances that are known to the authors
at the moment of the completion of the contract.

This limitation of liability is valid for all claims of compensation,
regardless of the cause in law, especially for liability that arises
from illegal action or guilt during contractual negotiations. The
limitation of liability does not cover damages for which an imperative
legal liability exists. For other damaging after-effects of a defect,
the authors shall only be liable in the limited way described above.



VI. General

This agreement is subject to German law. The 'Convention on Contracts
for the International Sale of Goods' is excluded. The exclusive place
of jurisdiction is Stuttgart (Germany) for all disputes that may arise
from this license agreement or from the use of the software. However,
the authors remain authorized to take legal actions against the
licensee at his general place of jurisdiction.

If some parts of this license agreement are or become partly or
entirely invalid or incomplete according to applicable law, the
validity of the remaining parts of the agreement is not impaired.

The transferal of rights from this license agreement by the licensee
is excluded.
