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.

$10.00 (Manual List Price) X 100 (Quantity) = $1000.00 (Total List Price) $1000.00 (Total List Price) X 25% = $250.00 (Net Price)
