Disclaimers

While we go to great length to ensure that our software operates smoothly and without problem, it is impossible to guarantee complete, bug free operation in a system as complex as modern computer architectures. It is possible that this software may not be 100% free of bugs. You should have mostly great experiences with it, but on occasion, your computer, your copy of Windows, your antivirus, your actions, or our software, may interfere. It may crash the software. Howler supports multi-threaded modules, GDI+, SSE2, MMX, .Net Framework, COM, the GPU and has over 10,000 controls and more than half a million lines of code developed over 18 years... This is not a simple bit of code. Mistakes may be made and limits may be reached.

Therefore, no warranties whatsoever are intended, neither expressed or implied, nothing of the sort is hereby given for anything provided by Project Dogwaffle, Howler, or TheBest3D.com, Daniel Ritchie or Phillip Staiger.

The user assumes all responsibility for damages resulting from the use of the software, including anything imaginable and in fact even anything not imaginable, whether in the past, present or future.

When you buy a license, you buy only the right to use it in the way it was intended. You may create artwork or create animations, images, brushes, and save them, and use the created artwork in personal and commercial ways. For example, you may sell for profit the artwork that you created with it, as long as it is significantly different from the resources (such as textures and brush images) that were used to make the artwork and that came with the software.

Examples: you may find cartoon images of 3D rendered brush images. You may not redistribute these without first obtaining written permission from the author or copyright owners. You may however use them in your own artwork, and sell or redistribute that, as long as the original artwork can not be simply or easily separated back out of your artwork. In essence: do not redistribute the assets that came with the software. But feel free to use the assets in legitimate creation of new artwork that is significantly different from the assets.

This shouldn't be difficult. But in case of doubt, contact us and ask. We are here to help you use the software in the intended ways when possible. We like to make the software work for our own gratification too, and we are interested in hearing from you both when you have some happy moments with it you wish to share, such as showing artwork that is work in progress or finished, as well as when you run into problems and unexpected behavior. Please don't hesitate to let us know if you're happy with it. Ditto when you're not happy or frustrated or feel like you've lost time and money over it. We'd like to know how we can make it better.
