GNUPro warranty

The GNUPro Toolkit is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions. This version of GNUPro Toolkit is supported for customers of Cygnus.

For non-customers, GNUPro Toolkit software has NO WARRANTY.

Because this software is licensed free of charge, there are no warranties for it, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Except when otherwise stated in writing, the copyright holders and/or other parties provide the software "as is" without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the software is with you. Should the software prove defective, you assume the cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction.

In no event, unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, will any copyright holder, or any other party who may modify ffb and/or redistribute the program as permitted above, be liable to you for damages, including any general, special, incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use the program (including but not limited to loss of data or data being rendered inaccurate or losses sustained by you or third parties or a failure of the program to operate with any other programs), even if such holder or other party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Year 2000 compliance

This and all subsequent releases of the GNUPro Toolkit products are Year 2000 Compliant .

Cygnus Solutions defines a product to be Year 2000 Compliant (Y2K) if it does not produce errors in recording, storing, processing and presenting calendar dates as a result of the transition from December 31, 1999 to January 1, 2000.

A Y2K product will recognize the Year 2000 as a leap year. This compliance is contingent upon third party products that exchange date data with the Cygnus product doing so properly and accurately, in a form and format compatible with the Cygnus product.

GNUPro Toolkit processes dates only to the extent of using the date data provided by the host or target operating system for date representation used in internal processes, such as file modifications. Any Y2K issues resulting from the operation of the Cygnus products, therefore, are necessarily dependent upon the Y2K compliance of relevant host and/or target operating systems. Cygnus has not tested all operating systems and, as such, cannot assure that every system and/or environment will manage and manipulate data involving dates before and after December 31, 1999, without any time or date related system defects or abnormalities, and without any decreases in functionality or performance. Cygnus cannot assure that applications which you modify using Cygnus products will be Year 2000 compliant.
