The password assigned to Subscriber shall be given to the individual who receives the print subscription to The Bond Buyer’s Municipal Marketplace® directory, also known as “The Red Book,” and is for individual use only on one computer only and shall not be used by another person.
In no event should the Database be used by someone else other than the subscriber or by the subscriber in place of The Red Book directory or any product or service currently provided by Accuity such that the preexisting service is canceled.
Any use of the Database not expressly authorized in this Agreement is strictly prohibited. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber is expressly prohibited from:
(i) Sub-licensing or reselling the Database;
(ii) Using or allowing third parties to use the Database for the purpose of compiling, enhancing, verifying, supplementing, adding to or deleting from any mailing list, geographic or trade directories, business directories or other compilation of information which is sold, rented, published, furnished or in any manner provided to a third party;

III. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
Except as stated herein, neither party shall be liable for special, incidental, indirect and/or consequential damages of any kind, resulting from either party’s performance or failure to perform pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation any interruption of business, whether resulting from breach of contract or breach of warranty, even if the parties hereto have been advised of the possibility of such damages. However, both parties agree that Subscriber may be held liable for any loss of or damage to revenues, profits or goodwill or other special, incidental, indirect and/or consequential damages with respect to a breach related to Subscriber’s improper or unauthorized use of the Database provided under this Agreement.
LNRS’ liability to Subscriber under any provision of this Agreement shall be limited to the amount actually paid for the Database by Subscriber to LNRS.

The Subscriber agrees that the Database, including all changes made thereto by anyone and any materials related thereto that are supplied by or developed by LNRS, are the valuable property of LNRS.
V. INDEMNIFICATION
LNRS agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Subscriber harmless, and at LNRS’ option, settle any action or proceeding of any kind or description based upon a third party’s claim that the Database infringes a third party’s patent or copyright, provided:
(i) the Database is used as provided by LNRS;
(ii) LNRS is given prompt, written notice of any such claim; and,
(iii) LNRS is given the right to control and direct the investigation, defense and settlement of each such claim.
Subscriber shall reasonably cooperate with LNRS in connection with the foregoing.
Should the Database, become, or in LNRS’ opinion is likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement, Subscriber shall permit LNRS, at LNRS’ option and expense, either:
(i) to procure for the Subscriber the right to continue using the Database;
(ii) to replace or modify the same so that it becomes non-infringing; or
(iii) to grant the Subscriber a refund of the unused portion of the subscription fees.
Subscriber agrees to defend, indemnify and hold LNRS harmless from any claims, actions, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses arising out of Subscriber’s use of the Database, except to the extent such claim is the result of infringement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this indemnification obligation is subject to available legal defenses and all terms, conditions, and applicable insurance policies.

This Agreement may be terminated:
(i) by either party, if the other party has breached any material term of this Agreement and has failed to remedy such breach within 30 (thirty) days following notice thereof OR
(ii) immediately by LNRS if Subscriber shall have violated any of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement with respect to the use of the Database. The provisions of this Agreement that by their nature should survive termination or expiration, including without limitation provisions relating to intellectual property, confidentiality, indemnification, limitation of liability, and governing law, shall survive such termination or expiration.
