Legal conditions

The term checker files are not open-source. You are permitted to make backup copies of the files and to change the files. You are not permitted to sell or to supply the term checker or modifications of the term checker.

Some rules are derived from The Global English Style Guide by John R Kohl, Copyright © 2008, SAS Institute Inc, Cary, NC, USA. All Rights Reserved. Used with Permission. SAS does not (a) grant, or purport to grant, any rights to SAS' intellectual property rights in the SAS materials; (b) in any way restrict, or purport to restrict, SAS' abilities to protect its intellectual property rights in the SAS materials; or (c) create, or purport to create, any obligations by SAS with respect to the SAS materials.

The rules in the term checker do not find all ASD-STE100 errors. Before you buy a licence, TechScribe gives you a free trial of the term checker. Make sure that the rules are sufficiently good to solve your problems.

The term checker uses LanguageTool. The TechScribe licence is not related to the LanguageTool licence (https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/blob/master/COPYING.txt).

Licences for the commercial versions of the term checker

Two versions of the term checker for ASD-STE100 issue 8 are available:

A remote files version. You will receive a username and password that lets you access the STE data files that are on the TechScribe website. TechScribe does not guarantee 100% availability of the STE data. Each person who uses the term checker must have a licence. For a multi-user licence, use the same username and password for all the users. TechScribe will tell you when an update is available. After 1 year, if you do not renew your licence, you will not be able to use the term checker.
A local files version. TechScribe gives you the files that contain the STE data. A multi-user licence is a floating licence (concurrent licence). Thus, at one time, for an n user licence, a maximum of n users can use the term checker. There are no restrictions about where you install the term checker. For one year, TechScribe will send you updates to the term checker. To receive updates after one year, you must pay a maintenance fee of £500 for each user. When TechScribe releases a version of the term checker for ASD-STE100 issue 9, you will get a copy if you paid the maintenance fee.

Usually, there are 4 updates each year. Usually, to use an updated version of the term checker, you must update LanguageTool. But, it is not necessary to use an updated version of the term checker. After ASD-STE100 issue 9 is released, TechScribe will not update the term checker for ASD-STE100 issue 8.

For a free trial, or to buy one or more licences, or to get a free academic licence, contact TechScribe. The contract is governed by the laws of England.
