This End User License Agreement (EULA) is a legal agreement between you (an end user—either an individual or a single legal entity) and Axel Rietschin Software Developments, for the FastPictureViewer software product, including any associated media, printed materials and electronic documentation (the “Software”).

This EULA also applies to any updates, add-on components, patches and/or supplements that Axel Rietschin Software Developments may provide to you after you obtain the initial copy of the Software. By installing or otherwise using the Software you agree to the terms of this EULA. If you do not agree to the terms of this EULA, do not install or use the Software. Instead, you should remove the Software from your computer. The Software is owned by Axel Rietschin Software Developments and is protected by intellectual property laws and treaties.

The Software is licensed, not sold.

PERSONAL, NON-PROFIT AND EDUCATIONAL USES

The Software may be obtained freely for personal, non-profit and educational uses, as well as for evaluation purposes.

There is no fee for downloading or otherwise obtaining the Software under these conditions, however, copies of the Software obtained this way do not include a Registration Key.

You may use the Software indefinitely for personal, non-profit purposes without registering it. While unregistered, the Software restricts itself to searching and viewing JPEG and JPEG XR (HD Photo) file formats only. Some advanced functions might not be available in the unregistered version.

RETAIL

The Software may also be obtained through retail purchase. Retail copies of the Software include a Registration Key, whether obtained as an individual product or bundled with another product. You must enter this Registration Key into the Software's registration panel (accessible by pressing the Ctrl+R keyboard shortcut) to enable the features associated with the registered version.

After entering your Registration Key, you will be prompted to activate the Software. During activation the software will validate the registration key by briefly contacting a validation server over the internet. Additional file formats and/or features will be enabled at the next launch of the Software. If you prefer not to activate through the internet or are unable to activate over the internet for any other reason, please contact support@fastpictureviewer.com for assistance.

Registered users may download and register software updates within the same major version (the number before the first decimal point), e.g. 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 etc., without additional fees.
