The terms “you” and “your” in uppercase or lowercase shall mean the entity (e.g., individual, company, corporation, partnership, sole proprietor, etc.) or government agency entering into a Subscription Agreement with Front-Line Anti-Bribery LLC.

GRANT OF RIGHTS; RESTRICTIONS ON USE

1.1 You and your Authorized Users (defined below in Section 2.1) are granted a nonexclusive, nontransferable, limited right to access and use for research purposes the Online Services and Materials made available to you. The rights granted to each Authorized User are as follows:
(a) The right to electronically display Materials retrieved from the Online Services for the Authorized User’s individual use (e.g., no Authorized User may network others via LANs, WANs, intranets or the Internet). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Authorized User may display a de minimis amount of the Materials on an incidental, infrequent basis for non-commercial purposes to other Authorized Users so long as the Authorized Users are in the same physical location and the mode of display is not through the Internet, an intranet or other types of networking communication like LANs or WANs;
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the right to (1) excerpt or quote insubstantial portions of Materials in documents prepared in the ordinary course of your business to the extent permitted by applicable copyright law; (2) distribute Authorized Printouts to persons who are not Authorized Users (including by emailing through the functionality of the Online Services) on an occasional, infrequent basis as permitted by applicable copyright law; and (3) store Materials for periods in excess of the periods set forth above to the extent required for legal or regulatory compliance provided all other Materials are purged promptly upon the expiration of this Subscription Agreement; and
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the Online Services and the Materials are an original compilation of public domain materials. Such original compilation is protected by copyright, intellectual property laws, and other laws that prevent unauthorized access and use. If you are not an Authorized User, you are not permitted to access or use the Online Services for any purpose whatsoever. If you nevertheless access and use the Online Services or Materials without authorization, your access and use will be governed by these General Terms and Conditions and you will be liable to Front-Line Anti-Bribery LLC for any breach of the General Terms and Conditions as well as for unauthorized access and payment for use at the rates in the applicable Price Schedule.

1.3 Except as specifically provided in Sections 1.1 and 1.2, you and your Authorized Users may not exploit the goodwill of Front-Line Anti-Bribery LLC, including its trademarks, service marks, or logos without the express written consent of Front-Line Anti-Bribery LLC. Additionally, under no circumstances may you or any Authorized User offer any part of the Online Services or Materials for commercial resale or commercial redistribution in any medium or use the Online Services or the Materials to compete with the business of Front-Line Anti-Bribery LLC.

1.4 All right, title, and interest (including all copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights) in the Online Services and Materials in any medium belongs to Front-Line Anti-Bribery LLC or its third party suppliers of Materials.

1.5 Neither you nor your Authorized Users may use the Online Services or Materials in any fashion that infringes the intellectual property rights or proprietary interests of Front-Line Anti-Bribery LLC or any third party.

Without limitation, external professional service providers such as attorneys, accountants, outsourcers and public relations firms are specifically excluded from being Eligible Persons. The term “Authorized User” means an Eligible Person whom you have identified to Front-Line Anti-Bribery LLC for purposes of issuing an Front-Line Anti-Bribery LLC ID. You are responsible for all use of the Online Services accessed with Front-Line Anti-Bribery LLC IDs issued to your Authorized Users, including associated charges, whether by Authorized Users or others. You will use reasonable commercial efforts to prevent unauthorized use of Front-Line Anti-Bribery LLC IDs assigned to your Authorized Users and will promptly notify Front-Line Anti-Bribery LLC, in writing, if you suspect that an Front-Line Anti-Bribery LLC ID is lost, stolen, compromised, or misused.

2.2 Use of the Online Services via mechanical, programmatic, robotic, scripted, screen-recording or any other automated means is strictly prohibited.

Furthermore, this Subscription Agreement may not be supplemented, modified or otherwise revised by email exchange even if the email contains a printed name or signature line bearing signature-like font.

5.4 The failure of you, Front-Line Anti-Bribery LLC, or any third party supplier of Materials to enforce any provision hereof shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of such provision or of the right to enforce it at a later time.

5.5 Neither you nor any Authorized User may assign your rights or delegate your duties under this Subscription Agreement without the prior written consent of Front-Line Anti-Bribery LLC, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

5.9 Where applicable, each affiliated company of Front-Line Anti-Bribery LLC and each third party supplier of Materials has the right to assert and enforce the provisions of this Subscription Agreement directly on its own behalf as a third party beneficiary.

5.10 This Subscription Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter and replaces and supersedes any prior written or verbal communications, representations, proposals or quotations on that subject matter.
