EXTENDED CONTENT LICENSE AGREEMENT (EXTENDED LICENSE)
This agreement ("Agreement", 'Extended Content License Agreement', 'Extended License') shall be binding upon AudioMicro, Inc. ('we' and / or "ImageCollect") and any member ('you', 'your', and / or 'Non-Exclusive Downloading Member") who downloads a photograph, illustration, image or other pictorial or graphic work (the "Work") from the ImageCollect.com website. The Non-Exclusive Downloading Member acknowledges and agrees that he or she shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that this Agreement applies to each Work that the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member downloads.
1. No Sale
The Non-Exclusive Downloading Member acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement does not effectuate any sale of the Work. Except for the rights specifically sublicensed under this Agreement, the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member shall not have any right, title or interest in or to, and in any event shall have no ownership of, the Work, including any copyright and other intellectual property rights.
2. Extended License Terms
We hereby grant to you a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable worldwide license to use the Content for the Permitted Uses (as defined below). Unless the activity or use is a Permitted Use, you cannot do it. ImageCollect or the supplier of the Content retains all other rights in and to the Content, including, without limitation, all copyright and other intellectual property rights relating to the Content, as the case may be.
3. Permitted Extended License Uses
(a) You may only use the Content for those editorial and personal, non-commercial purposes, which are Permitted Uses (as defined below). For clarity, you may NOT use the Content for commercial purposes or in products for resale, license or other distribution, unless (i) the proposed use is allowable under this Extended License; or (ii) if the original Content has been fundamentally modified or transformed sufficiently that it constitutes an original work entitling the author or artist to copyright protection under applicable law, and where the primary value of such transformed or derivative work is not recognizable as the Content nor is the Content capable of being downloaded, extracted or accessed by a third party as a stand-alone file (satisfaction of these conditions will constitute the work as a 'Permitted Derivative Work' for the purposes of this Agreement). For example, you cannot superficially modify the Content, print it on a t-shirt, mug, poster, template or other item, and sell it to others for consumption, reproduction or re-sale. These uses will not be permitted as or constitute Permitted Derivative Works. If there is any doubt that a work is a Permitted Derivative Work, you should contact us for guidance. Any use of the Content that is not a Permitted Use shall constitute copyright infringement.
(b) Seat Restrictions. Only you are permitted to use the Content, although you may transfer files containing Content or Permitted Derivative Works to your clients, printers, or ISP for the purpose of reproduction for Permitted Uses, provided that such parties shall have no further or additional rights to use the Content and cannot access or extract it from any file you provide. You may install and use the Content in only one location at a time, although subject to the Prohibited Uses and the other terms of this Agreement, you are entitled to utilize the Permitted Uses an unlimited number of times. You may physically transfer the Content and its archives from one location to another, in which case you may use the Content at the new location instead. If you require the Content to be in more than one location or accessible by more than one person, you must download the Content from the Site for each such use. You may make one (1) copy of the Content solely for back-up purposes, and you must reproduce all proprietary notices on this single back-up copy.
(c) Permitted Uses. Subject to the restrictions described under Prohibited Uses below, the following are 'Permitted Uses' of Content:
1. entertainment applications such as magazines, newspapers, books (including magazine, newspaper, and book covers) in an unlimited number of reproductions / print runs solely for editorial use;
2. editorials, periodicals, newsletters, television, video, broadcast and theatrical presentations in an unlimited number of reproductions / print runs solely for editorial use;
3. online or electronic publications, including blogs, iPhone / iPad apps, and web pages solely for editorial use;
4. prints, posters (i.e. a hardcopy) and other reproductions solely for personal use and not for resale, license or other distribution; and
5. any other uses approved in writing by ImageCollect.
If there is any doubt that a proposed use is a Permitted Use, you should contact us for guidance.

THE WORK IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
9.B Limited Warranty
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions relating to limitation of liability in this Section 9B, ImageCollect hereby represents and warrants that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9A above, the utilization by the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member of an unaltered Paid-for Work (as defined below) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not infringe or violate the intellectual property rights, publicity rights or privacy rights of any third party. 'Paid-for Work' means any Work downloaded from ImageCollect's website, apart from any Work which (i) is a part of ImageCollect's collection of free Works, and/or (ii) otherwise can be downloaded without payment of credits or monetary compensation.
(b) Subject to subsections (c), (d) and (e) below, ImageCollect agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member from and against all damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising directly from any actual or threatened lawsuit, claim or legal proceeding (collectively, a 'Claim') commenced by a third party against the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member, where such Claim alleges that the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member's utilization of the unaltered Paid-for Work pursuant to the terms of this Agreement is in breach of the representations and warranties set forth in subsection (a) above; conditioned upon and provided that the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member gives ImageCollect (i) prompt written notice of any threatened Claim known to the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member or any suit or proceeding actually initiated against the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member, (ii) full information, assistance and cooperation for the defense or settlement thereof, and (iii) at ImageCollect's option, sole control of any defense, settlement or action related thereto; and further provided that the use and/or distribution by the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member of the unaltered Paid-for Work has been at all times in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member is not otherwise in breach of this Agreement.
(c) ImageCollect shall have no liability for, and ImageCollect's obligations under subsection (b) above shall not apply to: (i) any damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member prior to its notification of the Claim to ImageCollect; and/or (ii) any Claim based on or arising out of: (1) the modification by the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member of the Paid-for Work; (2) the combination of the Paid-for Work with any other work(s); and/or (3) the context in which the Paid-for Work has been used by the Non-Exclusive Downloading Member.

ImageCollect shall not be liable under this Section 10B in respect of any Work which is not a Paid-for Work.
