WebRespond v2.1: License & Disclaimer

General Statement

This version of WebRespond is provided as shareware software. The author gives any individual or company the right to examine and to freely distribute this applet as long as this disclaimer and the rest of the WebRespond documentation is included. This applet may not be sold for profit without the author's permission and only reasonable fees for redistribution may be charged.  For convenience this applet and its associated documentation is archived in 'WRESP21.ZIP' and is available through theWebRespond Download Page.

If after a one month evaluation time the user decides to continue using WebRespond, a registration number can be obtained for $20 from RegSoft.  (See registration instructions for more details.)  A user should obtain a separate registration number for each server containing web pages that call WebRespond.  Registration only provides permission for fair use and does not waive or transfer the author's property rights to this applet.  Disassembling the byte codes of WebRespond for use in another product without the author's express permission is a violation of his rights and individuals or companies doing so may be libel to prosecution.

The author is not liable for any damage to equipment or loss of data due to the use of this product on your computer or network. Although this applet has been tested on Win95 using Internet Explorer and Netscape, there is no expressed or implied guarantee that this software will operate as intended on all systems and under all conditions.

Warning for local use

Java is written as a secure language which limits access to disk drives and other sensitive resources on a computer. This program can be downloaded on to a local machine and run through a web browser or applet viewer; however, by doing so the user is removing a layer of protection from a misbehaving applet. If the user intends to use this code locally, make sure the code is obtained from the author or from the program's web page. This is the best way to assure yourself that the program is free from tampering.

Security of Data

This program does not use any security measures apart from those provided by the basic functionality of the Java language. Due to the nature of accessing material from the world wide web it is relatively easy for any individual to access your question files and master files. This access compromises the security of your student passwords and any quiz questions that need to remain secure. It is strongly recommended that this program only be used for review purposes. Although the password function indicates that a particular student name was used, it does not guarantee the identity of the individual using the student name. Additional measures must be enacted by the quiz author to guarantee the identity of the users.
