must make sure they comply with the other points outlined in
the following text.

prior to distribution. Their content must not be modified in
any way, would it be by suppression or addition of information.
2 - Under
no circumstance any part of Match Software shareware evaluation
packages should be used as component of any other software product

3 - Good
standing ASP approved vendors, and distributor members, can immediately
proceed to publish this package on CD, as well as diskettes.
Any CD publishing from non-ASP vendors must be approved by Match

by e-mail or letter. Match Software reserves the right to refuse

5 - Magazines
who decide to distribute Match Software shareware evaluation
packages as part of a promotional disk enclosed with their current
copy benefit from our intellectual property. They must get prior
approval by Match Software before publishing. We request the
elementary corporate courtesy of them sending us a free copy,
as soon as published, for our record, as they would normally
request if any or part of their articles was republished by one
of their peers.
6 - Always
use the latest version of the shareware packages, which you can
download from our web site. If you cannot find a specific package,
please ask for it by email. We will send it to you electronically

These requirements
as simple and resort to elementary good sense. Match Software
prepares these shareware evaluation packages with great care,
and updates them regularly, in order for the public to receive
the best service as possible. The latest version of our archives
are currently available on our Web site.
Shareware
is meant for Match Software as a meaningful and sensible way
of marketing it's products. In doing so, many benefit from the
generous efforts of the company : distributors, some of whom
without shareware would probably loose a good part of their business,
as well as users, who enjoy the privilege to use and test at
will quality software before buying it. Nevertheless, we welcome
any offer of new ways of distribution, publication or otherwise
profitable ventures. The main ingredient of most software products
being not plastic or paper, but creativity, we are quite sure
some of our new ideas may find in industrious hands a fortunate
destiny. Please contact us, if you think Match Software creations
can profit your business !
