END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT | |
The following agreement regarding RAR (and its Windows version - WinRAR) | |
archiver - referred to as "software" - is made between win.rar GmbH - | |
referred to as "licensor" - and anyone who is installing, accessing | |
or in any other way using the software - referred to as "user". | |
1. The author and holder of the copyright of the software is | |
Alexander L. Roshal. The licensor and as such issuer of the license | |
and bearer of the worldwide exclusive usage rights including the rights | |
to reproduce, distribute and make the software available to the public | |
in any form is win.rar GmbH, Marienstr. 12, 10117 Berlin, Germany. | |
2. The software is distributed as try before you buy. This means that | |
anyone may use the software during a test period of a maximum of 40 days | |
at no charge. Following this test period, the user must purchase | |
a license to continue using the software. | |
3. The software's trial version may be freely distributed, with exceptions | |
noted below, provided the distribution package is not modified in any way. | |
a. Nobody may distribute separate parts of the package, with the exception | |
of the UnRAR components, without written permission. | |
b. The software's unlicensed trial version may not be distributed | |
inside of any other software package without written permission. | |
The software must remain in the original unmodified installation | |
file for download without any barrier and conditions to the user | |
such as collecting fees for the download or making the download | |
conditional on the user giving his contact data. | |
c. The unmodified installation file of WinRAR must be provided pure | |
and unpaired. Any bundling is interdicted. In particular the use | |
of any install or download software which is providing any kind | |
of download bundles is prohibited unless granted by win.rar GmbH | |
in written form. | |
d. Hacks/cracks, keys or key generators may not be included, pointed to | |
or referred to by the distributor of the trial version. | |
e. In case of violation of the precedent conditions the allowance | |
lapses immediately and automatically. | |
4. The trial version of the software can display a registration reminder | |
dialog. Depending on the software version and configuration such dialog | |
can contain either a predefined text and links loaded locally | |
or a web page loaded from the internet. Such web page can contain | |
licensing instructions or other materials according to the licensor's | |
choice, including advertisement. When opening a web page, the software | |
transfers only those parameters which are technically required | |
by HTTP protocol to successfully open a web page in a browser. | |
5. The software is distributed "as is". No warranty of any kind is expressed | |
or implied. You use at your own risk. Neither the author, the licensor | |
nor the agents of the licensor will be liable for data loss, damages, | |
loss of profits or any other kind of loss while using or misusing | |
this software. | |
6. There are 2 basic types of licenses issued for the software. These are: | |
a. A single computer usage license. The user purchases one license to | |
use the software on one computer. | |
Home users may use their single computer usage license on all | |
computers and mobile devices (USB drive, external hard drive, etc.) | |
which are property of the license owner. | |
Business users require one license per computer or mobile device | |
on which the software is installed. | |
b. A multiple usage license. The user purchases a number of usage | |
licenses for use, by the purchaser or the purchaser's employees | |
on the same number of computers. | |
In a network (server/client) environment the user must purchase | |
a license copy for each separate client (workstation) on which | |
the software is installed, used or accessed. A separate license copy | |
for each client (workstation) is needed regardless of whether | |
the clients (workstations) will use the software simultaneously | |
or at different times. If for example you wish to have 9 different | |
clients (workstations) in your network with access to RAR, | |
you must purchase 9 license copies. | |
A user who purchased a license, is granted a non-exclusive right to use | |
the software on as many computers as defined by the licensing terms above | |
according to the number of licenses purchased, for any legal purpose. | |
7. There are no additional license fees, apart from the cost of the license, | |
associated with the creation and distribution of RAR archives, | |
volumes, self-extracting archives or self-extracting volumes. | |
Owners of a license may use their copies of the software to produce | |
archives and self-extracting archives and to distribute those archives | |
free of any additional royalties. | |
8. The licensed software may not be rented or leased but may be permanently | |
transferred, in its entirety, if the recipient agrees to the terms of | |
this license. | |
9. To buy a license, please read the file order.htm provided with | |
the software for details. | |
10. You may not use, copy, emulate, clone, rent, lease, sell, modify, | |
decompile, disassemble, otherwise reverse engineer, or transfer | |
the licensed software, or any subset of the licensed software, | |
except as provided for in this agreement. Any such unauthorized use | |
shall result in immediate and automatic termination of this license | |
and may result in criminal and/or civil prosecution. | |
Neither RAR binary code, WinRAR binary code, UnRAR source | |
or UnRAR binary code may be used or reverse engineered to re-create | |
the RAR compression algorithm, which is proprietary, without written | |
permission. | |
The software may be using components developed and/or copyrighted | |
by third parties. Please read "Acknowledgments" help file topic | |
