This is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or an entity) and Mindscape, Inc. ("Mindscape").
BY INSTALLING OR USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS
AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND YOU ARE THE
ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF THE SOFTWARE, PROMPTLY RETURN THE SOFTWARE (INCLUDING
PRINTED MATERIALS) TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU PURCHASED IT FOR A FULL REFUND.
MINDSCAPE SOFTWARE LICENCE
GRANT OF LICENCE. This Licence Agreement permits you to use one copy of Mindscape software (the
"Software"), which may include electronic documentation, for personal, non-commercial purposes only on
a single computer/workstation. The Software is "in use" on a computer when it is loaded into the temporary memory (i.e., RAM) or installed into permanent memory (e.g., hard disk, CD-ROM drive, or other storage device) of that computer. You may not use the software on or over a network or any other transfer
device without each concurrent user having an original copy of the Software and its documentation.
COPYRIGHT. All intellectual property rights in the Software (including all animations, audio, images, maps,
music, photographs, video and text incorporated into the Software) are owned by Mindscape and its affiliates, suppliers and licensors, and are protected by copyright laws and international treaty provisions.
Mindscape and its affiliates, suppliers and licensors retain all rights not expressly granted. You must treat
the Software like any other copyrighted material. You may not copy the printed materials accompanying
the Software. You may not rent or lease the Software, but schools and libraries may lend the Software to
third parties provided the Software is in CD format and each end user is given a copy of this Licence
Agreement which will govern the use of such Software. You may transfer your rights under this Agreement
on a permanent basis provided you transfer the licence granted by this Agreement, and the Software and
all associated printed materials, and you retain no copies, and the recipient agrees to the terms of this
Agreement. You may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software, except to the extent
that this restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law. You may not distribute printed copies of any
user documentation provided in electronic format. The restrictions contained herein apply equally to
hybrid CD-ROMs which may contain multiple versions of the Software for use on different operating systems. Regardless of the type of media you receive, you may use only the portion appropriate for your single-user computer/workstation.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES. IN NO EVENT WILL MINDSCAPE OR ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS AND
LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, ECONOMIC, COVER, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE,
USER DOCUMENTATION, OR RELATED TECHNICAL SUPPORT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
DAMAGES OR COSTS RELATING TO THE LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, DATA OR
COMPUTER PROGRAMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO
EVENT WILL MINDSCAPE'S AND ITS AFFILIATES', SUPPLIERS' AND LICENSORS' LIABILITY EXCEED
THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE SOFTWARE. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Thomas & Friends: Special Delivery
There are some new animals just arrived at the port, and James is chosen
to take them to their new home at the Zoo. He is very proud of this important job and wants to show off to his friend Bertie – which means taking a
detour instead of going straight to the Zoo.
But oh no! James gets lost and can’t find his way back to the Zoo! He will
be late delivering the animals and The Fat Controller will be very cross.
Thomas and Harold are sent to go and look for him.
Your child will help Thomas, James and Harold to deliver the special cargo
safe and sound at the zoo.

a standard troubleshooting guide that will help to resolve most software
conflicts that typically cause crashing and hangs during the use of any of
our programs. If you cannot find this guide, please email us and we’ll be
