Evrsoft - stupid
Podz is right; Evrsoft are stupid.
Evrsoft Pty Ltd, will grant to you a personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to hyperlink ("Link") your Internet Web site to Evrsoft's Internet Web site…
Erm, thanks for "granting us permission" to place a hyperlink("link") on our own website to you…
…You must accept all terms and conditions in this Agreement. To indicate your acceptance, you will be required to send us an email issuing your acceptance to this Agreement.
… but I need to send an email request first?!? Accepting all terms first?!? Oh well, I can't do that so it looks like I'll just have to link to you without your permission. If you disagree, feel free to send me an email request
You may not alter the appearance of the Link Logo. The Link Logo must stand by itself and must include a minimum amount of 25 pixels of empty space around it so as to avoid unintended associations with any other objects including, but not limited to, type, photography, borders, and edges.
25 pixels? I'm sure you arrived at that figure after a lot of careful research which showed that a lot of people kept unintentionally identifying your logo with other objects when only 24 pixels were used. However, I suspect that the research may have been flawed somewhat when you decided to use your own license guys as test subjects; somehow, I don't think that their intelligence may have been representative of the general population.
Evrsoft reserves the right to review your use of the name "Evrsoft", the Link, and/or the Link Logo, and you agree to provide Evrsoft unrestricted access to your site to review your use of the name "Evrsoft", the Link, and/or the Link Logo. Evrsoft may at any time, and in its sole business judgment and/or discretion, require you to discontinue your use of the name "Evrsoft", the Link, and/or the Link Logo.
Ha ha ha ha ha… so, do you want shell access or will FTP be fine?
You may not use the name "Evrsoft", the Link, and/or the Link Logo to disparage Evrsoft, its software, data, and/or services in any way that in Evrsoft's sole business judgment and discretion may diminish or damage the goodwill in Evrsoft's name or Link Logo
Shouldn't you heed your own advice? I think that you've done a pretty good job of disparaging yourself…
Evrsoft may at any time, and in its sole business judgment and/or discretion, require you to discontinue your use of the name "Evrsoft", the Link, and/or the Link Logo.
Dammit.

Putting the ‘i’ in stupid.
Podz reminds us that licensing hyper-links is somewhat stupid….
I do believe that it has been proven in court case after court case (Ticketmaster v Microsoft anyone?) that linking cannot be licensed. And even Deeplinking is legal.
