3- Restrictions. Joan Yarfitz or Photo Environments may at any time during the term of this Agreement notify you that certain Images are no longer available for use under this Agreement and upon such notification, the license granted by Photo Environments shall automatically and immediately terminate. Your sole remedy for any recalled Image shall be, at Photo Environment's sole discretion, the replacement of such recalled Image with another Image or refund of any license fee paid attributable to such recalled Image. Photo Environments cannot anticipate all possible uses of an Image, either alone or in combination with other material that you, or you on behalf of your client(s), may make. You are solely responsible for the use of any Image in combination with any other material. Without limitation, Images may not be utilized:

-for any pornographic, unlawful purpose or use
-to defame any person
-to violate any person's right of privacy or publicity
-to infringe upon any copyright, trade name, trademark, or service mark of any person/entity
-for uses covering sensitive subjects including, without limitation, topics that may depict the subject matter of an Image in a negative or unfavorable light or subject persons to ridicule, and topics regarding all sexual issues, substance abuse, physical or mental abuse, alcohol, drugs, tobacco, AIDS, cancer, or serious physical or mental ailments, or the disparagement of a person or product

4-"Non-transferable" as used in section 2, means that the work you produce using an Image must be for your own use, or if purchased on behalf of your employer or client, your employer or client must be the end-user of your work. You may not sell, rent, loan, give, sublicense, or otherwise transfer to anyone either the CD or an Image, or the right to use the CD or an Image (except insofar as an Image has been incorporated by you into one of the permitted uses enumerated in section 2 of this Agreement), and nothing you produce shall grant or purport to grant to any third party a right to use or duplicate an Image. You agree to take all commercially reasonable steps to prevent third parties from duplicating or distributing the Images.

5- When a CD is purchased by a company, this license Agreement authorizes no more than five (5) individuals to use the Images contained on the CD and exercise the rights described in this Agreement. You may not place the CD or an Image on computer or other storage device that is accessible by more than one (1) user at a time via a network connection or otherwise.

7- Limited Warranty. Subject to the restrictions and limitations regarding your use of an Image contained in this Agreement, Photo Environments warrants that it owns or has obtained sufficient rights to the copyright for the Image(s) to grant you the limited license under this Agreement. Additionally, Photo Environments warrants that the digital copy of the Image(s) provided by Photo Environments to you will be free from defects in material and workmanship (but not visual artifacts inherent in the original Image) for ninety (90) days following delivery via mail; and, Photo Environments will, as your sole and exclusive remedy for your inability to use an Image on our CD's and at its sole discretion, provide you with a replacement of the digital copy of such Image, or CD.

Neither Photo Environments, Joan Yarfitz nor any of its employees, shall be liable for any indirect, consequential punitive, or incidental damages arising out of the use of, or the inability to use, the CD or Website or an Image, even if Photo Environments has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall Photo Environments' liability (whether in tort, contract, or otherwise) arising out of or relating to your use of the CD or Image(s) or inability to use the CD or the Image(s) exceed U.S.$1,000.00, regardless of the number of claims or Images used.
