    <h1>RGraph: <span>HTML5 Javascript charts library</span> - The RGraph license</h1>

    <p>
        There are two license types available with RGraph - a free one for non-commercial entities and a non-free commercial use license.
        Each is described below.

    <h2>An <span>overview of the licensing</span></h2>
        <p>
            A overview of the licensing is that for commercial use there is a one-time licensing fee of <b>&pound;79</b> (GBP)
            whilst for <a href="#license.free">non-commercial use</a> (eg personal, government, charity, educational etc) it's free
            to use assuming that you link to <a href="http://www.rgraph.net" target="_blank">www.rgraph.net</a> on your website.

        <p>
            Commercial usage covers commercial entities for their websites
            (either internal or external) or in software that they produce. If your organisation generates
            profit then a commercial license is most appropriate. There are some FAQs below that
            should help to answer any questions that you may have, but if they don't then you can
            email your question to: <a href="mailto:support@rgraph.net"><b>support@rgraph.net</b></a>
        </p>
        
        <p>
            After completion of either Google Checkout or Paypal payment you are granted an RGraph commercial license. You will
            be sent the license details via email.
        </p>

        <p>
            Example uses are:
            
            <ul>
                <li>Internal websites (eg intranets)</li>
                <li>Private websites</li>
                <li>Public facing websites</li>
                <li>Online applications</li>
                <li>Offline applications</li>
            </ul>
            
            
            You may alter the RGraph code to suit your particular needs. Also, if you're covered by the non-commercial license, however
            you don't wish to link to the RGraph website then buying a commercial license means that you dont have to.

        <p>
            <a name="do.i.need.to.buy.a.license"></a>
            &nbsp;<br /><br /><br />
            <b>Do I need to buy a commercial license?</b><br />
            For commercial/business use, then yes - you need a license to use RGraph.
            
            <br /><br />

            <a name="how.much.is.a.license"></a>
            &nbsp;<br /><br /><br />
            <b>How much is a license?</b><br />
            A license is a fee of <b>&pound;79</b> (UK pounds). That's a little over $120 (US dollars) at
            the time of writing.
    
            <br /><br />

            <a name="what.if.i.need.something.thats.not.part.of.rgraph"></a>
            &nbsp;<br /><br /><br />
            <b>What if I need something that's not part of RGraph?</b><br />
            If there's a feature that you need that's not part of RGraph then I can usually accommodate you assuming that
            you're a license holder. Please <a href="#contact">contact support</a> first to discuss your needs. If it's not too specific to you then
            I can add it to the main RGraph software. If it is then I can add it to your specific copy of RGraph. You can
            contact support with <a href="mailto:support@rgraph.net">support@rgraph.net</a>
            
            <br /><br />
    
            <a name="what.does.the.license.cover"></a>
            &nbsp;<br /><br /><br />
            <b>What does the license cover?</b><br />
            The RGraph license covers RGraph as a whole. Excepting ExCanvas, all code that you find in the RGraph archive is
            covered by the RGraph license.
    
            <br /><br />
            
            <a name="what.if.im.a.web.designer"></a>
            &nbsp;<br /><br /><br />
            <b>What if I'm a web designer?</b><br />
            In this situation each client would need a separate license for themselves. They can then use RGraph as much as they wish.
            If you prefer to buy in bulk - discounts are available (see next question).

            <br /><br />
            
            <a name="bulk.discount"></a>
            &nbsp;<br /><br /><br />
            <b>Is there a discount for buying licenses in bulk?</b><br />
            Yes there's a discount available if you wish to buy 5, 10 or 15 licenses (you could be a web designer for example
            wishing to license your clients). Please <a href="#contact">contact support</a> if this interests you.

            <br /><br />

            <a name="do.i.need.to.provide.a.backlink"></a>
            &nbsp;<br /><br /><br />
            <b>Do I need to provide a backlink?</b><br />
            Commercial license holders do not need to provide a backlink to the RGraph website.
    
            <br /><br />

            <a name="can.you.send.me.an.invoice"></a>
            &nbsp;<br /><br /><br />
            <b>Can you send me an invoice?</b><br />
            Of course, simply go here: <a href="http://www.rgraph.net/invoice.html">http://www.rgraph.net/invoice.html</a>, enter your email
            address and you'll be sent an invoice that you can use for tax purposes.
        </p>
    
    <a name="license.free"></a>
    &nbsp;<br /><br />
    <h2>Non-commercial <span>free usage</span></h2>
        <p>
            RGraph can be used free-of-charge by non-commercial entities who wish to use it either on an internal or external website
            or in software that they make. Examples of non-commercial entities include:
    
                <ul>
                    <li>Individuals</li>
                    <li>Charities</li>
                    <li>Government bodies</li>
                    <li>Educational institutes</li>
                </ul>
    
            Attribute RGraph on your website by linking back to the RGraph site - example HTML code as follows:
        </p>
    
    <pre class="code">
&lt;a href="http://www.rgraph.net" target="_blank"&gt;
    Charts made with RGraph: HTML5 Javascript charts library
&lt;/a&gt;
</pre>

    <p>
        If you would prefer not to link to the RGraph website, then you can buy an RGraph commercial license and you won't need to.
        You may alter the RGraph code to suit your particular needs.
    </p>
