Comstock RF and Comstock Klips License Agreement
1.  Essential Information � please read
 

You should carefully read the following terms and conditions.
Your purchase use and and/or download of this product signifies your acceptance of these terms and conditions.
2.  License
  a) Geographic Limits: 
    Comstock, Inc. (�Comstock�) provides this photograph, entitled ComstockRF� or Comstock Klips� (the �Image�).  Comstock licenses you the use of the Image only as provided below in the United States and other countries on a non-exclusive and non-transferable basis.  All other rights to the Image, including without limitation, copyright and all other rights, are retained by Comstock.
  b) Number of Users:
    THIS IS A TEN (10) PERSON MULTI-LICENSE AGREEMENT.  You and nine (9) other designated people are permitted to use the Image.  THIS IS NOT A SIMULTANEOUS USE LICENSE.  You may not have more than ten designated people, whether employees or contractors, use the Image, even if only ten people are using the Image at the same time.  You may not use this Image on a server or create any other image library that permits access to more than ten designated people.
    Additional Seat Licenses are available for more than ten permitted users.  Quantity discounts are available.  To obtain seat licenses please call Comstock at 1-800-225-2722.
  c) Permitted Uses:  You may:
    (i) Back up, copy, or archive the Image as is necessary for your own personal use, and only as is necessary for that use. Any copy or archive you make must include the Image�s copyright information.
    (ii) Use the Image in any electronic or print media, including advertising brochures, newsletters, editorial layouts, billboards, web pages, and magazines.
    (iii) Use the Image for any Items for Resale, including Book Covers, T-shirts, or Coffee Mugs, provided these Items are not intended to allow the re-distribution or re-use of the Image.
    (iv) Modify or alter the Image as is necessary for your use of it, as allowed for elsewhere in these terms and conditions, provided that the rights to any derivative work shall belong to Comstock. Such derivative work may be used only as permitted in accordance with these terms and conditions, and you hereby assign any and all copyrights with respect to such derivative work to Comstock, which assignment the parties hereby agree is valid under the U.S. Copyright law. If requested by Comstock, you agree to execute a written assignment of any such copyrights with respect to such derivative work.
  d) Prohibited Uses: You may not:
    (i) Transfer the rights to the Image, except as specifically provided for elsewhere in this agreement.  The rights aren�t yours to give away; they remain the property of Comstock under any and all circumstances.
    (ii) Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Image, subject to applicable law
    (iii) Copy or reproduce the Image, or the materials that may accompany it, except as specifically provided for above in paragraph 2(c).
    (iv) Remove any copyright or trademark from any place where it appears on the Image, or its accompanying materials.
    (v) Use the Image in any way that could be considered defamatory, libelous, pornographic, obscene, immoral, or fraudulent.
    (vi) Display the Image in any digital format or for any digital use at a resolution greater than 640x480 pixels, except in editorial or preliminary design work.  Doing so will be viewed as an attempt to distribute the Image in violation of this agreement. We�re specifying this so that no one can steal the Image from you, even if that was not your intention.
    (vii) Use the Image or any part of it as part of a trademark or service mark.  Comstock retains the full rights to the Image, and as such, you cannot establish your own rights over any part of them.
    (viii) Re-sell, distribute or sub-license the Image, or the rights to use the Image. Comstock is in the business of licensing photographs for use by its customers. It is the specific intent of this provision to prohibit a purchaser or licensee of one of Comstock�s images from using the Image to enter, either directly or indirectly, a similar or competing business. It is therefore prohibited to use the Image in a product whereby the purchaser, or licensee, of that product can then in any way, or be permitted to in any way, use the Image for their own purposes.
3.  Terms and Photo Credit:
 

This License is effective until it is terminated. You can terminate by destroying the Image, along with any copies or archives of it.

  The license also terminates if at any time you fail to comply with the terms of this agreement. If this happens, you hereby agree to destroy all copies or archives of the Image.
 
Comstock requests the phrase "Photo:  www.comstock.com " appear adjacent to the Image or on a credit page.
4.  Limited Warranty:
  a) What Is and Is Not Warranted:
    Comstock warrants that the Image will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of 90 days from the date that you download it, as determined by Comstock.
    EXCEPT AS PROVIDED ABOVE, THE DISC IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. COMSTOCK DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PHOTOGRAPHS CONTAINED IN THE DISC WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE DISC WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE DISC IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE DISC PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU (AND NOT COMSTOCK OR AN AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL OR OTHER COMPUTER DEALER) ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
  b) Consumer Rights:
    Certain states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. You have specific rights under this warranty, but you may have others, which vary from state to state.
5.  Limitation of remedies:
  a) Replacement or Refund.  Comstock�s entire liability and your exclusive remedy, with respect to any claims arising out of your use of the Image or your actions in downloading the Image shall be that you may be permitted to download the image again, at a location that Comstock will provide for you, and if you continue to be unable to download the Image, Comstock will refund your money, provided Comstock determines in its sole and absolute discretion that you have been unable to download the Image.
  b) No Money Damages:  Under no circumstances whatsoever will Comstock be liable to you for any damages, including any lost profits, lost savings, or other incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use THE IMAGE even if Comstock or a dealer authorized by Comstock has been advised of the possibility of such damages, or for any claim by any other party. Some states do not allow the limitations or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
6.  Indemnification:
  You agree to indemnify and hold Comstock harmless against all claims arising out of any breach of this Agreement.
7.  General:
  a) Restricted Rights to the US Government: If the Image is purchased by or provided to the United States Government then it is provided with restricted rights.  Such restricted rights are defined in the Defense Department Supplement to the Federal Acquisitions Regulations (�FAR�) in paragraph S2.227.19(c)(2) of the FAR. Your use of the Image must be in compliance with all laws and regulations including those pertaining to currency, trademarks, and moral rights.

9.  Legal Fees and Jurisdiction: 
  If Comstock is obligated to go to court, rather than arbitration, to enforce any of its rights, or to collect any fees, you agree to reimburse Comstock for our legal fees, costs and disbursements if Comstock is successful.  You agree that the Supreme Court for New York County and the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York are the agreed and appropriate forums for any such suit.
10.  Entire Contract:
  You acknowledge that you have read this agreement, understand it, and agree to be bound by its Terms and Conditions.  You further agree that it is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between US, which supersedes any proposal or prior agreement, oral or written, and any other communication between us relating to the subject of this agreement.
