### Conditions For Commercial Bundling

Vendors wishing to bundle POV-Ray with commercial software (including shareware) or other distribution not already described above must first obtain explicit permission from the POV-Team. Such permission is rarely granted. The POV-Team will decide if such distribution will be allowed on a case-by-case basis and may impose certain restrictions as it sees fit. The minimum terms are given below. Other conditions may be imposed.

The product must be an existing product that has proven itself as commercially viable without POV-Ray included. The inclusion of POV-Ray should be promoted only as a free bonus and not as a feature designed to encourage customers to purchase or upgrade solely for the POV-Ray capability. Purchasers of your product must not be led to believe that they are paying for POV-Ray. Any mention of the POV-Ray bundle on the box, in advertising or in instruction manuals must be clearly marked with a disclaimer that POV-Ray is free software and can be obtained for free or nominal cost from various sources. Include clear and obvious information on how to obtain the official POV-Ray. You must provide all POV-Ray support for all users who acquired POV- Ray through your product. The POV-Team is not obligated to provide you or your customers any technical support. Include a credit page or pages in your documentation for POV-Ray. If you modify any portion POV-Ray for use with your hardware or software, you must follow the custom version rules in addition to these rules. Include contact and support information for your product. Include a full user package as described above.
