Where an end-user or OEM has a legitimate need to reproduce copyrighted
Compaq hardware documentation, or copyrighted diagnostics which
do not require a software license, a reproduction agreement is
available for purchase from Compaq. These reasons include:
- translation to a foreign language;
- incorporation or adaption into a unique customer format;
- only limited portions of the publication are to be reproduced;
- urgent need Compaq cannot fulfill.
Reproduction Agreements are available to end-users and OEMs for
the sole purpose of supporting products owned or distributed by
the end-user or OEM.
The rights granted will not include the right to copy restricted
documentation, licensed software, or micro form products.
The requester will determine the quantity needed of the particular
publications(s) (minimum quantity 20). Compaq, in turn, grants
a a license to copy to the publication (s). The requester may,
within a one year period, reproduce the documentation, in whole
or in part, up to the specified quantity. The terms and conditions
of this agreement can be found in the Policy for Reproduction
of Compaq Copyrighted Publications.
The royalty fee paid to Compaq is twenty-five percent of the
list price of the publication multiplied by the quantity to be
reproduced.
EXAMPLE:
$10.00 (Manual List Price) X 100 (Quantity)
= $1000.00 (Total List Price)
$1000.00 (Total List Price) X 25%
= $250.00 (Net Price)
NOTE: You must purchase the initial copy of any manual/media
that you are planning to reproduce.
No other discounts or pricing adjustments apply.
