Apologies if they are there, but I can't find them.
When registering yesterday's giveaway, I had to agree to the "terms and conditions". I did, but don't know what I agreed to. I searched the site and can't find them. What and where are they? Thanks.

Not really any, except good manners, no swearing, no racism, sexism, religion, spamming, porno links, warez, keys, posting links to any mentioned and no posting emails...the usual kind you expect at a decent website.
If you break rules with respect to the above, posts will be edited or removed and if you do it again, you get blocked.
Thats about it.
Lee -
I was not asking about the termns of use of the forum. I was using the forum to ask about terms of use for the software. When registering/activating the software a pop-up says "you agree to the terms and conditions" in order to use the software. I can't find them on the website, there are no menu or short cut links to them at the top or bottom of the pages, a search in the website's search box comes up empty, etc.

O.K. read here http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/about/
This is from the readme file in download package.
Installation
Unzip the package you`ve downloaded and install the software (run Setup.exe),
then register the software using the registration name and activation key provided (Help->Register RPO).
Remote Performance Observer consists of two parts:
- Light RPO Data Servers. They are responsible for real-time data collection and should be installed on the machines which are monitored. (Install by running RPOServer_setup.exe)
- RPO Client. It receives the data from the servers and is responsible for the visualization/processing of the information acquired. (Install by running RPO_setup.exe)
You have to install it before the Giveaway offer for the software is over.
Terms and conditions
Please note that the software you download and install
during the Giveaway period comes with the following important limitations:
1) No free technical support
2) No free upgrades to future versions
3) Strictly non-commercial usage
Thanks.
If that is the total of the Terms and Conditions, that's fine. I guess I didn't recognize them because they weren't complicated enough. ;-)
Although, even reading the "about" page after your post still left me wondering where they were -- seems they are in the footnote on the page.
Of course the actual software developer may have their own terms and conditions which would be displayed during the install (typically you need to agree to these to be able to install the software).
Examples of their software would be not distributing the licensed software or registration codes, or an interesting one I saw in SecureZIP - the user (more or less) agrees that they are not a terrorist or using the software to build nuclear weapons. Of course if they were involved in such activities... they would never tell a lie in order to install a piece of software.
(In line with some countries gun laws, every citizen has the right to carry their own nuclear weapon to act as a deterrent against other nuclear weapon carrying "evil people" who lied on their license agreement).
I just noticed something...the giveaway on 20 April 2007 was AVS DVD to Go 2 (Beta) and they said "* All Giveaway visitors who install beta version of AVS DVD to Go 2 today will be able to install all upgrades of this product within a year for free." but the Terms and Conditions stated "2) No free upgrades to future versions". This can be very misleading to new visitors...
Is this pick a hole in the TAC days today?
If you bother to read it also mentions that there are exceptions.
If you don't want the year of free upgrades then it can be cancelled just for you.
In the PPTMOVIE END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT item 2 states
"TRIAL and REGISTRATION. You are granted the right to use the SOFTWARE
without registration solely for the purposes of evaluating the performance of the SOFTWARE for a period of no more than 14 days. If after that time continued use of the SOFTWARE is desired then the SOFTWARE must be registered with PPTexpert.com subject to the terms as laid out in the registration information which can be found in the documentation accompanying the SOFTWARE..."
It says on the download page --
"Price: The program is available for $49.95, but it will be free for our visitors as a time-limited offer."
Can someone explain to me how this can be called 'free'? Pretty lame....
Please do not double post no matter how desperately you wish to demonstrate your "special gift" of making a complete fool of yourself.
