(I hate these too, but the increasing risk of nuisance suits over software bugs has made this annoyance necessary to protect me from litigation.)

PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY. SELECTION OF "AGREE" BELOW INDICATES THAT YOU HAVE READ THESE TERMS AND AGREE TO ABIDE BY THEM.

You MAY NOT download this software nor use it in any way if you do not indicate your agreement to these terms.

FAILURE TO INFORM YOURSELF OF THESE CONDITIONS DOES NOT RELIEVE YOU OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR LIVING UP TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

YOU HAVE AGREED TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT BEFORE DOWNLOADING THE SOFTWARE FROM THE INTERNET.

This is a legal agreement between you and Plain Brown Power Software and its sole proprietor ("Cub Lea") and prior principals, previously known as The Feature Creeps, collectively and/or individually referred to henceforth in this document as "Plain Brown Power". This Agreement states the terms and conditions upon which Plain Brown Power offers to license the software downloaded from this website together with all related documentation and accompanying items including, but not limited to, the executable programs, drivers, libraries and data files associated with such programs (collectively, the "Software").

THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE SUPERCEDE ANY ADDITIONAL LICENSES OR TERMS WHICH MAY BE INCLUDED IN DOWNLOADABLE SOFTWARE PROVIDED BY PLAIN BROWN POWER. In all cases of dispute, the terms of this online license shall be deemed definitive.

LICENSE

1. Grant of License. The Software is licensed, not sold, to you for use only under the terms of this Agreement. This License Agreement is your proof of license to exercise the rights granted herein and must be retained by you. As between you and Plain Brown Power (and, to the extent applicable, its licensors), Plain Brown Power retains all title to and ownership of the Software and reserves all rights not expressly granted to you. Plain Brown Power grants to you the right to use all or a portion of this Software provided that

  1. all copyright notices are maintained on the Software; and
  2. the licensee/end-user agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

2. For Use on a Single Computer. The Software may be used only on a single computer by a single user at any time. You may transfer the machine-readable portion of the Software from one computer to another computer, provided that

  1. the Software (including any portion or copy thereof) is erased from the first computer, and
  2. there is no possibility that the Software will be used on more than one computer at a time.

3. Copyright. The Software is owned by Plain Brown Power and/or its licensors, and is protected by Canadian copyright laws and international treaty provisions. You may not remove the copyright notice from any copy of the Software or any copy of the written materials, if any, accompanying the Software.

4. One Archival Copy. You may make one (1) archival copy of the machine-readable portion of the Software for backup purposes only in support of your use of the Software on a single computer, provided that you reproduce on the copy all copyright and other proprietary rights notices included on the originals of the Software.

5. No Merger or Integration. You may not merge any portion of the Software into, or integrate any portion of the Software with, any other program, except to the extent expressly permitted by the laws of the jurisdiction where you are located, or as otherwise stipulated within the package itself or within source code packages provided by Plain Brown Power. Any portion of the Software merged into or integrated with another program, if any, will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and you must reproduce on the merged or integrated portion all copyright and other proprietary rights notices included on the originals of the Software. Copyright remains on all copyrightable portions of the work with the original owner and/or its licensors.

6. Transfer of License. You may not transfer your license of the Software to a third party.

7. Limitations on Using, Copying, and Modifying the Software. Except to the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement or by the laws of the jurisdiction where you acquired the Software, you may not use, copy or modify the Software. Nor may you sub-license any of your rights under this Agreement. You may use the Software for your personal use only, and not for public performance or for the creation of publicly displayed videotapes.

8. Decompiling, Disassembling, or Reverse Engineering. You acknowledge that the Software contains trade secrets and other proprietary information of Plain Brown Power and its licensors. Except to the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement or by the laws of the jurisdiction where you are located, you may not decompile, disassemble or otherwise reverse engineer the Software, or engage in any other activities to obtain underlying information that is not visible to the user in connection with normal use of the Software. Provision of source code does not mitigate this condition, since Plain Brown Power may at its own discretion provide source code which differs in function and purpose from its compiled counterpart. In particular, you agree not for any purpose to transmit the Software or display the Software's object code on any computer screen or to make any hardcopy memory dumps of the Software's object code. If you believe you require information related to the interoperability of the Software with other programs, you shall not decompile or disassemble the Software to obtain such information.

TERMINATION

The license granted to you is effective until terminated. You may terminate it at any time by destroying the Software (including any portions or copies thereof) currently in your possession or control. The license will also terminate automatically without any notice from Plain Brown Power if you fail to comply with any term or condition of this Agreement. You agree upon any such termination to destroy the Software (including any portions or copies thereof). Upon termination, Plain Brown Power may also enforce any and all rights provided by law. The provisions of this Agreement that protect the proprietary rights of Plain Brown Power will continue in force after termination.

NO WARRANTY

ANY USE BY YOU OF THE SOFTWARE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED FOR USE "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PLAIN BROWN POWER DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

Plain Brown Power does not warrant that the functions contained in the Software will meet your requirements or that the operation of the Software will be uninterrupted or error-free or free from malicious code.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from country/state to country/state.

BECAUSE SOME STATES/ COUNTRIES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. INDEMNIFICATION BY YOU If you distribute the Software in violation of this Agreement, you hereby indemnify, hold harmless and defend Plain Brown Power from and against any and all claims or lawsuits, including attorney's fees and costs that arise, result from or are connected with the use or distribution of the Software in violation of this Agreement. **Further, Plain Brown Power shall not be liable for the accuracy of any information provided by Plain Brown Power or third-party technical support personnel, or any damages caused, either directly or indirectly, by acts taken or omissions made by you as a result of such technical support.
