IFBIN - Great Software By Example

We made a mistake with the IFBIN Subscription Terms of Use. The terms were overly strict and frustrated our customers and potential customers. Effective today we are changing the IFBIN Subscription Terms of Use to address these issues.

We need to support use of the subscription examples without burdensome terms of use. It makes no sense to purchase a product that you cannot effectively use. We do not want to be in the business of regulating customer use, we want to be in the example creation business. IFBIN needs to remove the barriers preventing wide use of the subscription examples for consulting and commercial use. With the help of our development team and our customers, we are making changes today to enable wide use of the examples.

IFBIN Subscription Terms of Use:

Example use is limited to a single developer per subscription.

IFBIN Subscriptions are licensed per developer. Several developers cannot share a single subscription for team development. We have priced the subscriptions so that individual developers and teams can purchase without a burden. All subscription are priced at $250 for an annual subscription per developer.

Customers can provide integrated example source to consulting clients.

We want customers to use the examples in commercial work. We actually encourage you to use IFBIN for this very purpose. It makes sense to allow any code used for this purpose to be distributed in a royalty free manner. You may distribute integrated example source to consulting clients and your consulting clients do not need to own an IFBIN Subscription.

Customers can use examples beyond the subscription period.

An IFBIN Subscription provides a single developer access to the examples for a period of 1 year. After 1 year, you will not be able to install or update examples without a subscription renewal. You can now continue to use the examples that were installed during the subscription period. IFBIN needs to continue to develop new examples to earn your business on subscription renewal. If you have purchased a subscription, you may use the examples commercially beyond the subscription period.

Ideally these simple terms will enable anyone to use IFBIN subscription to deliver the solutions needed on commercial or consulting projects.

More to come,
