Licenses

You can download a 60-day evaluation copy of the Champ Class Library free of charge and try it out under our Shareware User License Agreement. Once you purchase a registered copy of Champ, your use is governed by the following

Registered User License Agreement and Limited Warranty

(1) Introduction. This agreement explains when and how you may use registered copies of software products from Salvisberg Software & Consulting. In this agreement:

• "Library" means the Champ Class Library software product you have purchased from us or from a dealer, including source code header files, linkable .LIB and .DLL files, software tools, associated documentation in electronic and/or printed form, and other materials;
• "we", "us", "our" refers to Salvisberg Software & Consulting, a company based in Spiegel b. Bern, Switzerland; and
• "you" means the end user(s) of the Library.

(2) Legal Agreement. This is a legal agreement which allows you, the end user, to use the Library under certain terms and conditions. IMPORTANT: If you don't agree with this Agreement, you must return the Library to us or to the dealer where you purchased it for a refund.

(3) Copyright. The Library is fully protected by copyright under national law and international treaty provisions. It is and remains our valuable intellectual property.

(4) License Types. There are a number of different license types, which give you certain rights. The fourth letter in your license keycode determines your type of license:

CP-P:

The Personal License is for individual use of the Library on you own computer(s). You may use it just like a book, which means it may be used by any number of people and it may be moved from one computer location to another, as long as there is no possibility of it being used in more than one location or by more than one person at the same time. Programs that you create using the Library may be used, given away or sold without additional license or fees. Your name and a reference to the Library is embedded in every program.

CP-E:

The Educational License is for use by educational institutions. It covers all members of the institution in their positions (faculty, staff, students). You may install the Library on all computers and/or the network of your institution for unlimited use by all members. You are responsible for informing all users of the Library in the institution about the terms of this license agreement. Programs that you create using the Library may be used or given away without additional license or fees, but they may not be sold. The name of the institution and a reference to the Library is embedded in every program. The Educational License includes Home Licenses for all members of the institution.

CP-H:

The Home License allows current members of an institution with an Educational License to use the library on their private computer at home. Programs that you create using the Library are strictly for your own use and will not run on computers that don't have the E or H license installed. However, you may recompile the programs at the institution, putting them under the Educational License.

CP-F:

The ProFessional License is for individuals and companies developing applications with the Library. Every developer needs his/her own license. Programs that you create using the Library may be used, given away or sold without additional license or fees, and they do not include any reference to you or to the library.

CP-T:

The Temporary License replaces one of the other license types until the keycode for the permanent license is delivered to you. The provisions for the permanent license apply accordingly.

(5) Prohibited Use of the Library. You may not permit other individuals to use the Library except under the terms listed here. You may not modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works that substantially duplicate the functionality of the Library, without our advance written permission. You may not change, remove, or disable any proprietary notices in the Library. All rights not specifically granted in this Agreement are reserved.

(6) Making and Distributing Copies of the Library. You may make copies of the Library software as necessary for use according to your license type and for normal backup purposes. You may print out the documentation and distribute it to the users covered by your license, with the exception of Home users. You agree not to make any other copies of the software, the documentation or other materials, or any part of them, or sell, give, or make available any copies to others, without our advance written permission.

(7) Distributing Programs Created with the Library. Your license type determins if and under what conditions you may distribute the programs you created with the Library. You shall remain solely responsible for, and will hold us harmless from, all claims, liability and damages arising from your own products which include any of the Library's routines.

(8) Operation of the Library. The Library offers powerful capabilities. If you do not follow our instructions, or if you use the Library improperly, you can destroy files or cause other damage to your software and data. You assume full responsibility for the selection and use of the Library to achieve your intended results.

(9) LIMITED WARRANTY:
Physical Defects. We pledge that the disks and manuals we send you (if any) will arrive free of physical defects which interfere with normal use. If you find such a defect and report it to us within 90 days after you purchase the Library, we agree to replace the defective item(s) at no charge to you as long as the defect was not caused by misuse or abuse.
Bugs and Program Errors. We don't promise that the Library will be free of bugs or program errors. If you report a program error or bug to us, we will use our best efforts to correct it. If we issue a maintenance release for the Library which includes a correction for an error you reported, we will send you a copy of that maintenance release at no charge if you request it. We will only do this for maintenance releases, not for new major releases or other new versions of the Library.
Satisfaction Guarantee. If you are dissatisfied with any product you buy from us under this Agreement for any reason, you may return it at any time up to 90 days after purchase and we will give you a refund. Refunds will be based on the price you paid, less shipping costs. You must contact us before returning any product for a refund. This satisfaction guarantee does not apply to Educational Licenses or to purchases of more than 10 individual copies at one time.

(10) DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS. And now the legal language we couldn't avoid:
EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY STATED ABOVE, WE DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, but you may have other rights, depending on where you purchased the Library.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF USE OF THE LIBRARY OR OF PROGRAMS CREATED WITH IT, OR YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US, EVEN IF WE SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF SUCH DAMAGES. Some countries or states do not allow exclusion or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, therefore the above limitation may not apply to you.

(11) GOVERNING LAW. THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT AND LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL BE CONSTRUED, INTERPRETED AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE COUNTRY OF SWITZERLAND AND YOU AGREE TO BRING ANY ACTION HERUNDER ONLY IN THE COURTS OF BERNE, SWITZERLAND.
