I allow Leonardo to process any information I send in accordance with its Privacy Policy as stated in Clause 6 of the Leonardo Terms and Conditions.

Bulk orders, over 250 images per user company per annum, for website and large brochure requirements, are at the sole discretion and by prior written permission of Leonardo only.

2. The non-exclusive right of use is granted for an indefinite period of time and is not transferable to any party other than the one who is registered with permission from Leonardo.

3. Leonardo reserves all rights not explicitly granted to the User.

4. In no event does the right of use include a right to use the retrieved Content, in whole or in part, to compile a databank, either by or through the User, or to otherwise use the Content for purposes that compete with Leonardo's MediaBank.

5. The right of use in no event includes a right to borrow the MediaBank concept, either in whole or in part, and/or to put this concept, either in whole or in part, at the disposal of third parties.

6. The User shall not, without the written permission of Leonardo, make (or have others make) changes in or additions to MediaBank.

Clause 4 - Intellectual Property Rights

1. No intellectual property rights are transferred to the User and the use of MediaBank shall not, in any event, constitute an intellectual property right on the part of the User regarding the Content or the technology offered by Leonardo.

2. Leonardo hereby declares, without being liable to pay compensation, that it has produced MediaBank entirely with its own corporate resources and/or that it owns the rights to dispose of the applications and data files contained therein. At the time of delivery Leonardo is not aware of any third party that holds any rights that could adversely affect the undisturbed use of MediaBank.

3. If any third party states to the User that the third party has any rights with respect to MediaBank, the User shall immediately notify Leonardo thereof in writing.

4. With regard to third parties who state that their rights are being infringed, the User shall refrain, without prior written permission from Leonardo, from making any oral or written statements or promises, from acknowledging any rights or facts, from committing the User in any way whatsoever and from entering into settlements.

5. If it is established, either in or out of court, that the use of the applications or any parts thereof contained in MediaBank infringes any intellectual property right, Leonardo shall exert its best efforts to change the relevant applications in such a manner that the User may continue to use the applications.

6. The User warrants and represents that the User shall at all times observe the limits of the right of use granted to the User and, more specifically, always respect the intellectual property rights of Leonardo and of the third parties whose protected material is included in MediaBank.

4. Leonardo shall not be liable if MediaBank cannot be used for practical reasons such as Errors and technical breakdown or for legal reasons such as court orders.

6. Leonardo shall not be liable for the failure to fulfil any of its obligations under these Terms and Conditions, if the fulfilment has been interfered with, hindered, delayed or prevented by circumstances not reasonably within the control of Leonardo.

7. Any liability on the part of Leonardo shall never exceed the amount received by Leonardo from the insurance company with which Leonardo has insured its interests under this agreement.
