IV. MODIFICATIONS. Unless the prior written approval of Owner is obtained, User may not modify

unlawful or prohibited by these Terms of the Agreement.
V. DEFAULTS ON AGREEMENT. If User fails to abide by the obligations of this Agreement, including the
obligation to make a royalty payment when due, Owner shall have the option to cancel this Agreement
by providing 30 days written notice to User. User shall have the option of taking corrective action to cure
the default to prevent the termination of this Agreement if said corrective action is enacted prior to the
end of the time period stated in the previous sentence. There must be no other defaults during such
time period or Owner will have the option to cancel this Agreement, despite previous corrective action.
VI. WARRANTIES. Neither party makes any warranties with respect to the use, sale or other transfer
of the Property by the other party or by any third party, and User accepts the product “AS IS.” In no
event will Owner be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages, that are in
any way related to the Property.
VII. TRANSFER OF RIGHTS. Neither party shall have the right to assign its interests in this Agreement
to any other party, unless the prior written consent of the other party is obtained.
VIII. INDEMNIFICATION. Each party shall indemnify and hold the other harmless for any losses,
claims, damages, awards, penalties, or injuries incurred by any third party, including reasonable
attorney’s fees, which arise from any alleged breach of such indemnifying party’s representations and
warranties made under this Agreement, provided that the indemnifying party is promptly notified of any
such claims. The indemnifying party shall have the sole right to defend such claims at its own expense.
The other party shall provide, at the indemnifying party’s expense, such assistance in investigating and
defending such claims as the indemnifying party may reasonably request. This indemnity will survive the
termination of this Agreement.
IX. AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be modified or amended, only if the amendment is made in
writing and is signed by both parties.
X. TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated by either party by providing 30 days written notice
to the other party. This Agreement shall terminate automatically on [TERMINATION DATE].

fill existing orders and to sell off existing copies of the Work then in stock. Owner will have the right to
verify the existence and validity of the existing orders and existing copies of the Work then in stock upon
reasonable notice to Licensee.
ii. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not extinguish any of Licensee’s or Copyright
Owner’s obligations under this Agreement including, but not limited to, the obligation to pay royalties
which by their terms continue after the date of termination or expiration.
XI. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for
any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable. If a court finds that any
provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision it would
become valid or enforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be written, construed, and
enforced as so limited.
This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties and there are no other promises or
conditions in any other agreement whether oral or written. This Agreement supersedes any prior
written or oral agreements between the parties.
The following signatures make this Agreement effective as of the date first written above.
