The Internet Application software that is provided with Enternet is mostly freeware and

NetComm has reproduced this software on the disks enclosed in this product to make it

It should be noted however that freeware and shareware is provided to us as is, with no

responsibility for the performance of this software, other than warranties implied by
legislation.

NetComm also provides software as part of the Enternet package which is owned or
licensed by NetComm.

You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use one copy of the freeware,
shareware and NetComm software included on the disks in the Enternet package
(“Enternet Software”) on one computer. If the Enternet Software is permanently installed
on the hard disk of a computer, then the principal user of that computer may also use a copy
of the Enternet Software on a portable or home computer. The Enternet Software is subject
to copyright and you must not copy or duplicate the Enternet Software except for the
purpose of making one backup copy.

The Enternet Software is provided to you without warranties of any kind, either express
or implied, other than those warranties implied into this agreement by legislation such as
the Trade Practices Act and which cannot be excluded. To the extent permissible by law,
NetComm excludes all liability for any direct, indirect, special or consequential damages
arising out of the supply, use or support of the Enternet Software. Where such liability
cannot be excluded, NetComm limits its liability at its option to the resupply or cost of
resupply of the Enternet Software.

In relation only to the previous paragraph of this agreement, NetComm enters into this
agreement both in its own capacity and as agent for the suppliers and licensors of the
freeware and shareware. You acknowledge that NetComm (in its own capacity) and the
suppliers and licensors of the freeware and shareware are entitled to the benefit of that
clause.
