Shareware
What is Shareware
Shareware is software for the computer which is distributed on a try before you buy basis. This means you have a minimum of 30 days, until the end of the next appropriate calendar month, to try the software. If after trying it you decide not to pay for it, you must delete it. If you continue to use it you will be charged for a new copy every month that you continue to do so. This is the standard user contract for people using shareware on their computers.

You do not get to use the same copy for the same price for ever for free, because it could be argued in court that after seven years the debt is nothing because a statute of limitation applies.
You will save no money by attempting to steal this software by using it and claiming you were unaware of the law.
In addition you may face a prison sentence upon conviction, and I will be arguing in court for this.
Neither will you be allowed to attempt to avoid conviction by pleading guilty at a late stage. Any evidence of illegal possession of our software even if it is only a registered email address will be put before the court.

If you are arrogant enough to continue to use our software without either demonstrating that you are intending to pay for it, by contacting us and making arrangement to pay for it, or you decide to challenge our claims, and our good name in court, presumably on the grounds that we are mentally ill or in some other way irrational, or you attempt in any other way to defame us or me personally, AND YOU ALSO CHALLENGE OUR LAWYERS ON THAT BASIS, please be assured that we will not give up on this claim of ownership of intellectual property.
This software is sold on a willing seller, willing buyer basis.
There is a money back guarantee if you are not satisfied.

You will be asked to supply the registration number of the operating system of your computer when you license your software, and if you cannot supply it, we will help you to find out what it is.

You may have some remedy in law if you wish to take a claim of compensation against Microsoft, and the retailer who supplied your computer to you, however remember that we claim ownership of the Microsoft name, ( see the JavaScript page ) and we have letter from lawyers with a fiduciary duty to Microsoft who have refused to speak to us despite court rulings against them in the case against Sun (see Sun vs Microsoft) so your remedy is really against Bill Gates himself.

You will be also asked to read and agree to by signing it, a license agreement similar to the one displayed below.
If you are a registered user of te BitCom software, please be informed that because BitCom failed to pass on to as ANY money they obtained from there customers, all contracts they hardware now null and void, and you must make a new contract with Baker Publishing.
