1.4 "Licensee Work" means an end product, service, campaign or publication that has been created by or on behalf of Licensee using independent skill and effort and that incorporates a Reproduction of the Licensed Material as well as other material.

All Licensed Material must be downloaded within one (1) year of the date of purchase.

However, in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States (for example, France and Spain), Licensee may be required to pay royalties to performing rights or other rights societies due to the exploitation of the Licensed Material in that jurisdiction (regardless of whether any of the contributors of the Licensed Material is a member of the applicable societies and/or if a contributor later becomes a member of the applicable societies). You must determine if such requirements exist in the applicable jurisdiction.
3. Restrictions.

Nothing in this Section 3.8 shall serve to excuse Purchaser's obligation to make payment to Getty Images of the License Fee.
3.9 If the Licensed Material is Reproduced on a website, Licensee shall post terms and conditions on the website that include restrictions on downloading the Licensed Material for other than personal use, and prohibit republication, retransmission, reproduction or other use of the Licensed Material.
4. Credit and Intellectual Property.

5.2 GETTY IMAGES DOES NOT MAKE ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE LICENSED MATERIAL OR ITS DELIVERY SYSTEMS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. GETTY IMAGES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES, COSTS OR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF GETTY IMAGES HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, COSTS OR LOSSES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF DAMAGES. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER TERM HEREIN, GETTY IMAGES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, COSTS OR LOSSES ARISING AS A RESULT OF MODIFICATIONS MADE TO THE LICENSED MATERIAL BY LICENSEE OR THE CONTEXT IN WHICH LICENSED MATERIAL IS USED IN A LICENSEE WORK.
6. Indemnification.
6.1 Licensee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Getty Images and its parent, subsidiaries and commonly owned or controlled affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees from all damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable outside attorneys' fees), arising out of or as a result of claims by third parties relating to Licensee's use of any Licensed Material outside the scope of this Agreement or any other actual or alleged breach by Licensee of this Agreement.
6.2 Provided Licensed Material is used only in accordance with this Agreement and Licensee is not otherwise in breach of this Agreement or any payment obligations to Getty Images, and as Licensee's sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.1(ii) and (iii) above, Getty Images shall, subject to the terms of Section 5.2 above, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Licensee and its parent, subsidiaries and commonly owned or controlled affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees from damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable outside attorney's fees), arising out of or connected with any actual lawsuit or legal proceeding alleging that Getty Images is in breach of its warranties set forth in Section 5.1(ii) and (iii) above. The total maximum aggregate liability of Getty Images under this Agreement and any other agreement with Getty Images pursuant to which Licensee has licensed the same content (regardless of the file size, or the use or exploitation of any or all of the content in any manner whatsoever), and the obligation of Getty Images under this Section, shall be limited to an aggregate of ten thousand ($10,000) US dollars per item of Licensed Material. For greater clarity, Getty Images’ liability to Licensee in respect of the content shall not exceed ten thousand ($10,000) US dollars per item of Licensed Material regardless of the number of times that Licensee has licensed the same content from Getty Images. The foregoing states Getty Images’ entire indemnification obligation under this Agreement.
6.3 The party seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 6 shall promptly notify the other party of such claim. At indemnifying party's option, indemnifying party may assume the handling, settlement or defense of any claim or litigation, in which event indemnified party shall cooperate in the defense of any such claim or litigation as may be reasonably requested by indemnifying party. Indemnified party shall have the right to participate in such litigation, at its expense, through counsel selected by indemnified party. Indemnifying party will not be liable for legal fees and other costs incurred prior to the other party giving notice of the claim for which indemnity is sought, and Getty Images shall not be liable for any losses arising from Licensee’s failure to discontinue use pursuant to Section 10.3 below.
7. Condition of Licensed Material. Licensee should examine all Licensed Material for possible defects (whether digital or otherwise) before sending any Licensed Material for Reproduction. Without prejudice to Section 5.1(i) above, Getty Images shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by Licensee or any third party, whether directly or indirectly, arising from any alleged or actual defect in any Licensed Material or its caption or in any way from its Reproduction.
8. Electronic Invoicing; Interest on Overdue Invoices. Licensee and Purchaser agree to receive invoices from Getty Images electronically via the email address associated with Licensee’s and/or Purchaser’s Getty Images account. If Licensee fails to pay the Invoice in full within the time specified in the Invoice, Getty Images may add a service charge of one-and-one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or such lesser amount as is allowed by law, on any unpaid balance until payment is received.
9. Unauthorized Use and Termination. Any use of Licensed Material in a manner not expressly authorized by this Agreement (including, without limitation, use of Licensed Material by more than one (1) User without purchase of additional seat licenses) constitutes copyright infringement, entitling Getty Images to exercise all rights and remedies available to it under copyright laws around the world. Licensee shall be responsible for any damages resulting from any such copyright infringement, including any claims by a third party. In addition and without prejudice to Getty Images’ other remedies under this Agreement, Getty Images reserves the right to charge and Licensee agrees to pay a fee equal to five (5) times Getty Images’ single-track list price for each unauthorized use of the Licensed Material. Getty Images reserves the right to terminate this Agreement in the event Licensee: (i) enters the Agreement after having received notice of unauthorized use from Getty Images relating to the Licensed Material; (ii) fails to pay the License Fee in full within the time specified in the Invoice; or (iii) otherwise breaches the terms of this Agreement. Upon termination, Licensee must immediately (I) stop using the Licensed Material; and (II) destroy or, upon the request of Getty Images, return to Getty Images the Licensed Material and, in the case of termination by Getty Images for cause, the Licensee Work in the possession or control of Licensee.
10. Miscellaneous Terms.
10.1 Audit/Certificate of Compliance. Upon reasonable notice, Licensee shall provide sample copies of Reproductions containing any Licensed Material to Getty Images. In addition, upon reasonable notice, Getty Images may, at its discretion, either through its own employees or through a third party, audit Licensee's records directly related to this Agreement and use of Licensed Material in order to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement. If any such audit reveals an underpayment by Licensee to Getty Images of five percent (5%) or more of the amount Licensee should have paid for the time period that is the subject of the audit, in addition to paying Getty Images the amount of such underpayment, Licensee shall also reimburse Getty Images for the costs of conducting such audit. Where Getty Images reasonably believes that Licensed Material is being used by more than a single User, or that Licensed Material is being used outside of the scope of the license granted under this Agreement, Licensee shall, at Getty Images’ request, provide a certificate of compliance signed by an officer of Licensee, in a form to be approved by Getty Images.
10.2 Electronic Storage. For all Licensed Material that is delivered to Licensee in electronic form, Licensee must retain the copyright symbol, the name of Getty Images, the Licensed Material's identification number and any other information as may be embedded in the electronic file containing the original Licensed Material. Licensee shall maintain a robust firewall to safeguard against unauthorized third-party access to the Licensed Material.
10.3 Withdrawal. Upon notice from Getty Images, or upon Licensee's knowledge that any Licensed Material may be subject to a claim of infringement of another’s right for which Getty Images may be liable, Getty Images may require Licensee to immediately and at its own expense (i) stop using the Licensed Material; (ii) delete or remove the Licensed Material from its premises, computer systems and storage (electronic or physical); and (iii) ensure that its clients do likewise. Getty Images shall provide Licensee with comparable Licensed Material (which comparability will be determined by Getty Images in its reasonable commercial judgment) free of charge, but subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.
10.4 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without reference to its laws relating to conflicts of law. Any disputes arising from this Agreement or its enforceability shall be finally settled by binding arbitration by a single arbitrator selected using the rules and procedures for arbitrator selection under the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or of the International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC") (the applicable rules to be at Licensee’s discretion) to be held in one of the following jurisdictions (whichever is closest to Licensee): Seattle, Washington; New York, New York; Los Angeles, California; London, England; Paris, France; Frankfurt, Germany; Tokyo, Japan; or Singapore. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not govern this Agreement. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable legal costs relating to that aspect of its claim or defense on which it prevails, and any opposing costs awards shall be offset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Getty Images shall have the right to commence and prosecute any legal or equitable action or proceeding before any court of competent jurisdiction to obtain injunctive or other relief against Licensee in the event that, in the opinion of Getty Images, such action is necessary or desirable.
10.5 Severability. If one or more of the provisions contained in the Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. Such provisions shall be revised only to the extent necessary to make them enforceable.
10.6 Waiver. No action of either party, other than express written waiver, may be construed as a waiver of any provision of this Agreement. A delay on the part of either party in the exercise of its rights or remedies will not operate as a waiver of such rights or remedies, and a single or partial exercise by either party of any such rights or remedies will not preclude other or further exercise of that right or remedy. A waiver of a right or remedy on any one occasion will not be construed as a bar to or waiver of rights or remedies on any other occasion.
10.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended for business customers of Getty Images and contains all the terms of the license agreement. No terms or conditions may be added or deleted unless made in writing and either signed by an authorized representative of Getty Images or issued electronically by Getty Images and signed by an authorized representative of Licensee. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms contained herein and the terms contained on any purchase order sent by Licensee, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
10.8 Taxes. All License Fees are exclusive of any applicable sales, use, withholding or other transactional taxes, which are the sole responsibility of Licensee or Purchaser (if any).
10.9 Licensing Company. The licensing entity under this Agreement shall be determined by the billing address of the Licensee or, if any, Purchaser, as follows:

2.4 Licensee may have the Licensed Material Reproduced by subcontractors of Licensee (including Purchaser) for preparation of the Licensee Work, provided that such subcontractors agree to abide by the provisions of this Agreement.

2.6 Getty Images has used reasonable efforts to ensure that it owns and holds all rights to all Licensed Material and that it may issue direct licenses, inclusive of all performing rights, mechanical rights or any other similar rights, without need for payment of further royalties to any performing, mechanical or other similar rights societies (such as ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, PRS, MCPS, JASRAC, GEMA, etc.). However, in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States (for example, France and Spain), Licensee may be required to pay royalties to performing rights or other rights societies due to the exploitation of the Licensed Material in that jurisdiction (regardless of whether any of the contributors of the Licensed Material is a member of the applicable societies and/or if a contributor later becomes a member of the applicable societies). You must determine if such requirements exist in the applicable jurisdiction.
3. Restrictions.

Licensee shall not stockpile, download, or otherwise store Licensed Material not used during the Term for future use.

3.6 Licensee may not falsely represent, expressly or impliedly, that Licensee is the original creator of an audio or visual work that derives a substantial part of its artistic components from the Licensed Material.

3.10 Where Purchaser is licensing Licensed Material on behalf of a Licensee, Purchaser hereby represents and warrants that: (i) Purchaser is authorized to act as an agent on behalf of Licensee and has full power and authority to bind Licensee to this Agreement; and (ii) if Licensee subsequently disputes such power or authority, Purchaser shall be bound and liable for any failure of Licensee to comply with the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 3.10 shall serve to excuse Purchaser's obligation to make payment to Getty Images of the License Fee.
3.11 If the Licensed Material is Reproduced on a website, Licensee shall post terms and conditions on the website that include restrictions on downloading the Licensed Material for other than personal use, and prohibit republication, retransmission, reproduction or other use of the Licensed Material.

5. Credit and Intellectual Property.

If Licensed Material is used in an audio/visual production where credits are accorded to other providers of licensed material, credit shall be accorded, where technically feasible, in equal size and comparable placement to such other credit(s), substantially in the form "Music supplied by Getty Images".
5.4 Notice of Violations. Licensee will immediately notify Getty Images if it becomes aware or suspects that any third party that has gained access to the Licensed Material through Licensee is wrongfully using the Licensed Material, in whole or in part, or is violating any of Getty Images’ intellectual property rights, including, but not limited to, Marks and copyrights.

6.2 GETTY IMAGES DOES NOT MAKE ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE LICENSED MATERIAL OR ITS DELIVERY SYSTEMS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. GETTY IMAGES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES, COSTS OR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF GETTY IMAGES HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, COSTS OR LOSSES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF DAMAGES. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER TERM HEREIN, GETTY IMAGES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, COSTS OR LOSSES ARISING AS A RESULT OF MODIFICATIONS MADE TO THE LICENSED MATERIAL BY LICENSEE OR THE CONTEXT IN WHICH LICENSED MATERIAL IS USED IN A LICENSEE WORK.
6.3 All websites of Getty Images and its divisions and subsidiary companies as well as electronically-delivered Getty Images products will be provided by Getty Images on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Licensee acknowledges that websites and products may be subject to temporary shutdowns from time to time for maintenance or due to causes beyond Getty Images’ reasonable control and that Getty Images shall not have any liability to Licensee by reason of such shutdowns. Under no circumstances shall Getty Images or any party involved in creating, producing, or distributing such websites or products be liable for any damages whatsoever resulting from Licensee’s use or inability to use the same, including, but not limited to, the results from mistakes, omissions, interruptions, deletion of files or electronic mail, errors, defects, viruses, delays in operation or transmission, or any failure of performance, whether or not resulting from acts of god, communications failure, theft, destruction, or unauthorized access thereto.
7. Indemnification.
7.1 Licensee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Getty Images and its parent, subsidiaries and commonly owned or controlled affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees from all damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable outside attorneys' fees), arising out of or as a result of claims by third parties relating to Licensee's use of any Licensed Material outside the scope of this Agreement or any other actual or alleged breach by Licensee of this Agreement.
7.2 Provided Licensed Material is used only in accordance with this Agreement and Licensee is not otherwise in breach of this Agreement or any payment obligations to Getty Images, and as Licensee's sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.1(ii) and (iii) above, Getty Images shall, subject to the terms of Section 6.2 above, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Licensee and its parent, subsidiaries and commonly owned or controlled affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees from damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable outside attorney's fees), arising out of or connected with any actual lawsuit or legal proceeding alleging that Getty Images is in breach of its warranties set forth in Section 6.1(ii) and (iii) above. The total maximum aggregate liability of Getty Images under this Agreement and any other agreement with Getty Images pursuant to which Licensee has licensed the same content (regardless of the file size, or the use or exploitation of any or all of the content in any manner whatsoever), and the obligation of Getty Images under this Section, shall be limited to an aggregate of ten thousand ($10,000) US dollars per item of Licensed Material. For greater clarity, Getty Images’ liability to Licensee in respect of the content shall not exceed ten thousand ($10,000) US dollars per item of Licensed Material regardless of the number of times that Licensee has licensed the same content from Getty Images. The foregoing states Getty Images’ entire indemnification obligation under this Agreement.
7.3 The party seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 shall promptly notify the other party of such claim. At indemnifying party's option, indemnifying party may assume the handling, settlement or defense of any claim or litigation, in which event indemnified party shall cooperate in the defense of any such claim or litigation as may be reasonably requested by indemnifying party. Indemnified party shall have the right to participate in such litigation, at its expense, through counsel selected by indemnified party. Indemnifying party will not be liable for legal fees and other costs incurred prior to the other party giving notice of the claim for which indemnity is sought, and Getty Images shall not be liable for any losses arising from Licensee’s failure to discontinue use pursuant to Section 12.3 below.
8. Condition of Licensed Material. Licensee should examine all Licensed Material for possible defects (whether digital or otherwise) before sending any Licensed Material for Reproduction. Without prejudice to Section 6.1(i) above, Getty Images shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by Licensee or any third party, whether directly or indirectly, arising from any alleged or actual defect in any Licensed Material or its caption or in any way from its Reproduction.
9. Electronic Invoicing; Interest on Overdue Invoices. Licensee and Purchaser agree to receive invoices from Getty Images electronically via the email address associated with Licensee’s and/or Purchaser’s Getty Images account. If Licensee fails to pay the Invoice in full within the time specified in the Invoice, Getty Images may add a service charge of one-and-one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or such lesser amount as is allowed by law, on any unpaid balance until payment is received.
10. Unauthorized Use and Termination. Any use of Licensed Material in a manner not expressly authorized by this Agreement (including, without limitation, access to the Getty Images subscription and use of Licensed Material by more than one (1) User without purchase of additional seat licenses) constitutes copyright infringement, entitling Getty Images to exercise all rights and remedies available to it under copyright laws around the world. Licensee shall be responsible for any damages resulting from any such copyright infringement, including any claims by a third party. In addition and without prejudice to Getty Images’ other remedies under this Agreement, Getty Images reserves the right to charge and Licensee agrees to pay a fee equal to five (5) times Getty Images’ standard license or seat fee for the unauthorized use of the Licensed Material. Getty Images may charge Licensee and Licensee agrees to pay the single-track list price for each item of Licensed Material that Licensee obtains through unauthorized or abusive use of its Getty Images subscription, including, without limitation, Licensed Material obtained through unauthorized sharing of usernames and passwords, unauthorized sharing of Licensed Material or failure to obtain the necessary number of seat licenses. Getty Images reserves the right to terminate this Agreement in the event Licensee: (i) enters the Agreement after having received notice of unauthorized use from Getty Images relating to Licensed Material; (ii) fails to pay the License Fee in full within the time specified in the Invoice; or (iii) otherwise breaches the terms of this Agreement. Upon termination, Licensee must immediately (I) stop using any Licensed Material; and (II) destroy or, upon the request of Getty Images, return to Getty Images the Licensed Material and, in the case of termination by Getty Images for cause, the Licensee Work in the possession or control of Licensee.
11. License Cancellation. If Licensee requests in writing to cancel a subscription within seven (7) days of the date of purchase and provided that Licensee has downloaded no more than five (5) items of Licensed Material and has made no use of any Licensed Material since the date of purchase, then Getty Images shall cancel the applicable subscription and issue a 100% credit to Licensee’s account or credit card. In the event of such cancellation, the Grant of Rights under Section 2 shall be revoked, and Licensee shall immediately delete and/or remove the Licensed Material from its premises, computer systems and storage (electronic or physical). Any use of Licensed Material acquired pursuant to a subscription that has been cancelled shall constitute unauthorized use and shall be subject to the terms set forth in Section 10.
12. Miscellaneous Terms.
12.1 Audit/Certificate of Compliance. Upon reasonable notice, Licensee shall provide sample copies of Reproductions containing any Licensed Material to Getty Images. In addition, upon reasonable notice, Getty Images may, at its discretion, either through its own employees or through a third party, audit Licensee's records directly related to this Agreement and use of Licensed Material in order to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement. If any such audit reveals an underpayment by Licensee to Getty Images of five percent (5%) or more of the amount Licensee should have paid for the time period that is the subject of the audit, in addition to paying Getty Images the amount of such underpayment, Licensee shall also reimburse Getty Images for the costs of conducting such audit. Where Getty Images reasonably believes that Licensed Material is being used by more than the authorized number of Users, or that Licensed Material is being used outside of the scope of the license granted under this Agreement, Licensee shall, at Getty Images’ request, provide a certificate of compliance signed by an officer of Licensee, in a form to be approved by Getty Images.
12.2 Electronic Storage. For all Licensed Material that is delivered to Licensee in electronic form, Licensee must retain the copyright symbol, the name of Getty Images, the Licensed Material's identification number and any other information as may be embedded in the electronic file containing the original Licensed Material. Licensee shall maintain a robust firewall to safeguard against unauthorized third-party access to the Licensed Material.
12.3 Withdrawal. Getty Images makes no representations or warranties that all Licensed Material and/or Licensed Material collections will be available for use during the Agreement Term. Getty Images may discontinue licensing certain Licensed Material and/or Licensed Material collections in its sole discretion. Upon notice from Getty Images, or upon Licensee's knowledge, that any Licensed Material may be subject to a claim of infringement of another’s right for which Getty Images may be liable, Getty Images may require Licensee to immediately and at its own expense (i) stop using the Licensed Material; (ii) delete or remove the Licensed Material from its premises, computer systems and storage (electronic or physical); and (iii) ensure that its clients do likewise. Getty Images shall provide Licensee with comparable Licensed Material (which comparability will be determined by Getty Images in its reasonable commercial judgment) free of charge, but subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.
12.4 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without reference to its laws relating to conflicts of law. Any disputes arising from this Agreement or its enforceability shall be finally settled by binding arbitration by a single arbitrator selected using the rules and procedures for arbitrator selection under the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or of the International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC") (the applicable rules to be at Licensee’s discretion) to be held in one of the following jurisdictions (whichever is closest to Licensee): Seattle, Washington; New York, New York; Los Angeles, California; London, England; Paris, France; Frankfurt, Germany; Tokyo, Japan; or Singapore. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not govern this Agreement. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable legal costs relating to that aspect of its claim or defense on which it prevails, and any opposing costs awards shall be offset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Getty Images shall have the right to commence and prosecute any legal or equitable action or proceeding before any court of competent jurisdiction to obtain injunctive or other relief against Licensee in the event that, in the opinion of Getty Images, such action is necessary or desirable.
12.5 Severability. If one or more of the provisions contained in the Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. Such provisions shall be revised only to the extent necessary to make them enforceable.
12.6 Waiver. No action of either party, other than express written waiver, may be construed as a waiver of any provision of this Agreement. A delay on the part of either party in the exercise of its rights or remedies will not operate as a waiver of such rights or remedies, and a single or partial exercise by either party of any such rights or remedies will not preclude other or further exercise of that right or remedy. A waiver of a right or remedy on any one occasion will not be construed as a bar to or waiver of rights or remedies on any other occasion.
12.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended for business customers of Getty Images and contains all the terms of the license agreement. No terms or conditions may be added or deleted unless made in writing and either signed by an authorized representative of Getty Images or issued electronically by Getty Images and signed by an authorized representative of Licensee. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms contained herein and the terms contained on any purchase order sent by Licensee, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
12.8 Taxes. All License Fees are exclusive of any applicable sales, use, withholding or other transactional taxes, which are the sole responsibility of Licensee or Purchaser (if any).
