ABSTRACT

The buyer (user) must read all of the fine print contained

in the software package. This provides the acceptable

guidelines for copying the software, copying the documen-

tation, exporting the software, and the agreement as viewed

by the vendor. When purchasing software, an agreement

exists between the purchaser and the software vendor. That

agreement essentially states that the vendor is responsible

for the performance of the software as they designed it.

Users frequently do not realize that the breaking of the seal

on the package often constitutes their acceptance of the

software and all the agreements that act demands.
