The information in this document may be subject to change without notice. Last update: 9 November 2021, 23:11 GMT +1 0. Terms ========= A few terms are used throughout this text: GOTTEM: Pseudonym of the developer, located in The Netherlands. The author: This term is sometimes used, it means the same as GOTTEM. The IRC network: The details of these are provided by the buyer, the definition is: The network named which consists of all servers linked to (via other servers or direct) the server(s) with the domain name . This also includes the server(s) with this domain name (ie: irc.). The domain name mentioned here is registered at the official TLD provider that is recognized by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) and is allocated/owned by the IRC network. 1. Payment =========== 1a. Method of payment Payment is done via credit card, Dutch customers also have the possibility to use iDEAL. All payments are processed by the Stripe payment gateway. Available payment methods may be subject to change. Payments should be done in euros (EUR) or their equivalent in other currency. 1b. Shipping Modules are emailed to the address supplied during checkout. Update eligibility extensions (UEEs) are simply recorded. Receipts are sent for every transaction, from Stripe's systems. 2. Handling of orders / what you get ===================================== 2a. Handling incoming orders Upon submitting payment information, Stripe verifies its legitimacy. Should it report back a risk level of "elevated" or beyond, your order will be placed in the manual review queue or automatically blocked in case of fraudulent transactions. Please allow at least 72 hours for a response/inquiry regarding orders in the review queue. Should the risk level be acceptable, payment is automatically accepted and any ordered modules will be sent through email. Otherwise they will be emailed as soon as the payment has been manually reviewed and accepted. 2b. What you will receive After the process mentioned in 2a has completed and the information has been approved by GOTTEM, you will get one or multiple packages e-mailed to you (one per module). Every package will contain: the source code of the module (a .c file) a plaintext 'LICENSE' file and 'README' files in both HTML and Markdown formats, which contain installation, configuration and usage instructions. The contents of these packages are subject to the conditions described in '3. Distribution, modification and use'. For warranty and support conditions, see '4. Warranty'. 2d. Failure to handle orders If, for any reason, we are not able to handle your request within 10 days, simply request a refund by contacting your payment provider. Unforeseen circumstances may prevent GOTTEM from refunding your payment themselves. If, for any reason, your request to buy a module is rejected, then you will also receive a full refund (if possible). 3. Distribution, modification and use ====================================== 3a. Definitions "The IRC network": the definition of this is: The network named which consists of all servers linked to (via other servers or directly) the server(s) with the domain name . This also includes the server(s) with this domain name (ie: irc.). The details of the items marked in <>'s are provided by the customer. 3b. Rules - Use of this software is only allowed at The IRC Network, whenever a system or person no longer belongs to The IRC Network it must remove the software and all copies of it immediately. - (Re)distribution is only allowed to another system of The IRC Network and must consist of distributing the whole software package; distributing only parts of it (ie: only the binary) is not allowed. - Modification of the source code for use at The IRC Network is allowed, modification of any other files (eg: this LICENSE) is forbidden. - Use of this software (or any parts of it) in any other project unrelated to The IRC Network is forbidden. 4. Warranty ============ 4a. Damage, loss of data, etc THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND ANY EXPRESSED, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; PERSONAL INJURY, LOSS OF PRIVACY, LOSS OF USE, DATA, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, OR PROFITS; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. IN SHORT, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE AUTHORS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY IMPORT/EXPORT VIOLATIONS THAT DISTRIBUTING OR DOWNLOADING THIS PROGRAM MAY CAUSE. IT IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER TO VERIFY THAT THE PROGRAM MAY BE DOWNLOAD, DISTRIBUTED, OR USED IN THE USER'S NATION. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE ALL APPLICABLE LAWS ARE FOLLOWED. 4b. Warranty directly after purchase GOTTEM will (try to) work with you to resolve any difficulties in the use, or installation process directly after you bought the module, including the handling of any questions (as long as the amount of these questions is reasonable). Several tweaks, partial recodes, etc will be done for free if the buyer can not be held responsible for these problems (common examples are: a compiling problem on FreeBSD, a compile problem with a newer release UnrealIRCd version 4.x, etc). In case the buyer did not properly inform him/herself of the requirements of the module or if there was for some reason a miscommunication of a certain feature, then GOTTEM will not be held liable for these problems. In such (rare) cases, GOTTEM could offer a solution (eg: a partial recode for an additional fee, or adding the extra requested feature), but this is solely up to GOTTEM to decide. 4c. Warranty GOTTEM will (try to) cooperate with you and try to fix any problems during the first twelve (12) months after your purchase. Communication will be done via e-mail. The same rules as mentioned in 4a and 4b apply here, if GOTTEM is not to blame for the problem no support will be given (some examples: modified code, using the module for a wrong purpose, etc). GOTTEM will email you any updates for the module(s), patches or other software you bought, until (at least) 1 year after your purchase. These updates typically only contain fixes, but might in some cases contain new features as well. Any new features are explicitly not covered by this warranty. It is possible to extend this warranty by purchasing UEEs. These grant you the right to updates for an additional period of time and applies for all modules you have paid for up until then. A UEE is effective immediately if your previous warranty period has expired, or appended to the end of a currently active period. When referring to "warranty" as a whole (eg: conditions that void warranty), this includes UEEs. 4d. Exceptions Warranty (and thus support) will be void in case of: - Modification of code - Not conforming to the LICENSE (eg: illegal distribution) [*] - Illegal use [*] - In case the payment was fraudulent (eg: hacked payment account) [*] - Supplying false information during the order process [*] - Any other things that GOTTEM cannot be blamed of. Items marked with [*] mean you will no longer be provided with updates. In most other cases you will continue to receive updates, provided you conform to all rules in this document. 4e. Refund policy Due to the digital nature of the offered products, it is not possible to request a refund if the module(s) has/have already been shipped. It is however possible to cancel a UEE if it has yet to take effect (eg: your standard one-year warranty period is still active). In the event that GOTTEM ceases their operations, any UEEs that have yet to go into effect will be refunded. Fees for processing a refund and any currency conversions it causes may apply. This includes orders that have been rejected after manual review. 5. Jurisdiction and additional comments on this licence ======================================================== 5a. Limitations of this licence This licence is non-exclusive and non-transferable. In short (but without disregarding the legal consequences of above) this means you cannot use the same licence for another network, sell the software to others -- even if you do not use the software anymore. Additionally, you might not be the only one that receives the right to use this software -- even if it is a custom coding job. 5b. Jurisdiction Everything (such as: the buy process, this licence, liability claims, etc) falls under the Dutch law. 5c. Limitation of claims Without toning down anything in this licence, if - for any legal reason - GOTTEM is forced by law to pay anything with regards to a claim, then this sum can never be higher than the amount of money that was paid for the specific product(s) or service(s) that were ordered.
