This License is effective until terminated. Registered Member may terminate this License at any time by destroying any and all Contents, related documentation and all copies thereof. This License will terminate immediately without notice from ODM-LLC if Registered Member fails to comply with any provision of this License.
ODM-LLC will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this License where the delay or failure results from any cause beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, labor disputes or other industrial disturbances, systemic electrical, telecommunications, or other utility failures, earthquake, storms or other elements of nature, blockages, embargoes, riots, acts or orders of government, acts of terrorism, or war.
Registered Member agrees and certifies that neither the Contents nor any other data received from ODM-LLC, nor the direct product thereof, will be exported outside the United States except as authorized and as permitted by the laws and regulations of the United States.

This License is personal and no authorization for any use of the content is given to entities that employ or contract to the Registered Member except as expressly provided by ODM-LLC in a separate license.
Registered Member expressly acknowledges and agrees that use of the content is at Registered Member's sole risk. The content and related documentation are provided "as is" and without warranty of any kind. ODM-LLC expressly disclaims all warranties, express and implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. ODM-LLC does not warrant that the functions contained in the content will meet Registered Member’s requirements, or that the operation of the Content will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that defects in the Content will be corrected.

Furthermore, ODM-LLC does not warrant or make any representations regarding the use or the results of the use of the Content or related documentation in terms of their correctness, accuracy, reliability, or currentness.

Should the content prove defective, Registered Member (and not ODM-LLC or its authorized representative) assume the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to Registered Member. Nothing contained in this agreement shall be construed as a warranty that any manufacture, sale, lease, use or other disposition of Content hereunder will be free from infringement of patents, utility models and/or design patents, trademarks, copyrights, or any other form of intellectual property, other than under those which licenses have been granted.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to Registered Member.
For new Content, Registered Member warrants that it has not included elements which infringe intellectual property rights owned by a third party and are original to Registered Member, and Registered Member agrees that it will at its own expense indemnify, defend and hold harmless ODM-LLC, or its directors, officers, employees or agents against any claim, suit, action, or other proceeding brought against ODM-LLC or its licensees based on a claim that the new Content, as delivered to ODM-LLC (including through the Website) infringes in any manner any Intellectual Property Right of a third party or contains any material that violates any third party’s right of publicity or personality, or has otherwise resulted in any tort, injury, damage or harm to any person.
While redistributing the Content, Registered Member may choose to offer, and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity, or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this License. However, in accepting such obligations, Registered Member may act only on its own behalf and on its sole responsibility.
This License shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the Commonwealth of Virginia. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this License or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the License shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this License shall continue in full force and effect.
This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the use of the content and the related documentation, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding such subject matter. No amendment to or modification of this License will be binding unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Licensor.
