The placement of credit shall be as follows: [A] Printed material - Preferably the credit line shall appear on the same page as the printed copy of the image and immediately adjacent to it.

The use rights granted to the Applicant are non-exclusive, and ABI in no way surrenders its own right to publish or otherwise use the photo or video, or to grant additional licenses and permissions for others to do so. The Applicant shall not use or permit use of any licensed photo/video for or in connection with any illegal, immoral, scandalous, disparaging, defamatory or other negative purposes or otherwise use any licensed photo/video in any manner or for any purpose intended to defame, disparage or otherwise harm ABI, ABP or the goodwill associated with ABI, ABP, their respective trademarks, services, products, efforts or endeavors, or otherwise result in negative attention from third parties.

The Applicant shall not permit others to reproduce the image(s) or video(s). ABI shall have the right to terminate the Applicant’s usage rights (which shall immediately terminate any downstream usage rights) with respect to any or all licensed image(s)/video(s) immediately, with or without notice, in the event that the Applicant breaches any of its representations, warranties or obligations hereunder. ABI may, as it determines in its sole and absolute discretion, provide a cure period prior to terminating the Applicant’s usage rights after a breach by the Applicant of any of its representations, warranties or obligations hereunder. Such termination rights are in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights and remedies available to ABI. Expiration or termination of the Applicant’s usage rights with respect to the applicable photo(s)/video(s) covered by the applicable license shall not affect the continued effectiveness of the restrictions contained herein, including, without limitation, the terms of Sections C (including all subsections).

ABI AND ABP EACH DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE IMAGE(S) AND VIDEO(S) OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR AGAINST NON-INFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL ABI’S OR ABP’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE APPLICANT OR ANY THIRD PARTY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE IMAGE(S) OR VIDEO(S) EXCEED THE LICENSE FEE PAID BY THE APPLICANT TO ABI FOR THE USE OF THE APPLICABLE IMAGE(S) OR VIDEO(S) THAT THE CLAIM IS BASED UPON, IF ANY, DURING THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE DATE THAT THE APPLICABLE CLAIM AROSE.
9. Indemnification. The Applicant shall defend, indemnify, and save and hold harmless ABI, ABP, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, representatives and their designees, and the donors and former owners of photographic image library collections, from any and all claims, losses, deficiencies, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and all related costs and expenses) incurred by any of them as a result of any claim, judgment or adjudication against any of them arising from: (i) any breach or allegation which, if true, would constitute a breach of any of the Applicant’s obligations under these Terms and Conditions; or (ii) the licensing of images or videos to the Applicant or the Applicant’s use of the images or videos in any manner, including, without limitation, inspection, publication, reproduction, duplication or printing by anyone for any purpose whatsoever; or (iii) the Applicant’s actions or omissions or those of any of the Applicant’s employees, independent contractors, agents, assigns or any other person or entity working under the Applicant’s supervision or direction. ABI will notify the Applicant in writing of any such claim and will give the Applicant an opportunity to defend or settle any such claim at the Applicant’s expense.
10. Complimentary Copies. The Applicant agrees to supply to ABI one complimentary copy of any printed or published work in which one or more of the licensed images appear or a licensed video is used.
11. Miscellaneous. These Terms and Conditions may not be modified or amended except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such modification or amendment is sought. Either party hereto may, only by an instrument in writing, waive compliance by the other party hereto with any term or provision hereof on the part of such other party hereto to be complied with or performed. The waiver by ABI of a breach of any term or provision hereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a waiver of such term or provision on any other occasion or in any other circumstance. The Applicant may not assign, sublicense or encumber any usage rights without the prior written consent of ABI. A change in control of the Applicant shall constitute an attempted assignment of these Terms and Conditions and/or usage rights by the Applicant, requiring ABI’s prior written consent, Any attempted assignment without ABI’s prior written consent is and shall be void ab initio and shall constitute grounds for immediate termination of the Applicant’s usage rights granted hereunder without notice being required. These Terms and Conditions, together with the terms provided by ABI in response to the request form you submitted, which are incorporated into these Terms and Conditions by this reference, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supercede any and all prior agreements, understandings or arrangements with respect to said subject matter. You agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, these Terms and Conditions or the use of the image(s) or video(s) shall be brought only in the state or federal courts located in Atlanta, Georgia and you hereby irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of said courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The internal procedural and substantive laws of the State of Georgia shall govern these Terms and Conditions. You acknowledge that your failure to comply with your obligations under these Terms and Conditions could cause immediate and irreparable harm to ABI and ABP for which money damages would be inadequate. Accordingly, in the event of your failure to comply with the Terms and Conditions, ABI and/or ABP may seek equitable relief, including specific performance of the other party’s obligations and injunctive relief. Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for breach but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. ABI and ABP shall, in any proceeding to enforce these Terms and Conditions be entitled to recover from you all costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred therein. The parties acknowledge that ABP is and shall be a third party beneficiary of these Terms and Conditions and shall be entitled to enforce same directly against the Applicant as if a party hereto. Any provision hereof which is invalid or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof, and the provision shall, if possible, be amended by the parties to the extent necessary to become valid and enforceable.
