AXcess News hereby grants you, during the Term, a revocable, royalty-free,
nonexclusive license to display on your website ("Site"),

working of Services. If you use, or attempt to use, any Service
or Content beyond the scope of the license granted in this Agreement,
or beyond the scope expressly granted by AXcess News, or attempt
to, tamper, hack, spoof, use robots or scripts, copy, distribute,
modify, or otherwise corrupt the administration, security, or proper
function of any part of the Service or the Content, then, in addition
to termination of this Agreement, you may be subject to appropriate

and agree that due to the unique nature of AXcess News's Proprietary

injunctions and other appropriate equitable relief in addition to
whatever remedies it may have at law.

that your Mark(s) and/or content on your Web site, or logo, name,

other than the Content, do not and will not infringe any trademark,

for example, licensing requirements and administrative or professional
rules). AXcess News represents and warrants that the AXcess News
Mark(s) and/or Content do not and will not infringe any trademark,
service mark, copyright, right to publicity, right of privacy or
other intellectual property right of a third party, constitute false,
deceptive or unfair advertising or disparagement under applicable
law, or fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations (including,
for example, licensing requirements and administrative or professional

EVEN IF AXCESS NEWS SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY CLAIM BY ANY OTHER PARTY. SOME STATES

FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS
OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH STATES, THE LIABILITY
OF THE PROVIDERS, THIRD PARTY CONTENT PROVIDERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE
AGENTS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
8. INDEMNITY. You hereby agree to fully indemnify, defend and hold
AXcess News and their respective affiliates, officers, directors

under the internal laws and jurisdiction of the State of Florida.
Any action to enforce this agreement shall be brought in the federal
or state courts located in Miami, Florida. You may not assign this
Agreement without AXcess News's prior written consent; any assignment
by you without such consent shall be null and void. Each party shall
be responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations, if any, related to the performance of its obligations
under this Agreement. Neither party will be liable for any failure
to perform any obligation (other than payment obligations) hereunder,
or from any delay in the performance thereof, due to causes beyond
its control, including industrial disputes of whatever nature, acts
of God, public enemy, acts of government, failure of telecommunications,
fire or other casualty. AXcess News is not responsible for any costs
or liability associated with making a connection (by any means)

or restrict AXcess News from entering into agreements with any other

similar services itself. The parties hereto are independent contractors,
and nothing in this Agreement creates any Providership, joint venture,
agency, franchise, sales representative or employment relationship
between the parties. You have no authority to make or accept any
offers or representations on our behalf and you shall not make any
statement, on your site or otherwise, that contradicts anything
in this Section.
