SECTION 14 – Digital Resources

The following subsections address Terms of Service that are related to the purchase and/or use of Digital Resources.

Subsection A – License Grant

This Agreement entitles you to access and use the Resources your purposes – personally or those of your Organization. In addition, you may make one archival copy of the Resources. The archival copy must be on a storage medium other than a hard drive, and may only be used for the recovery of the Resources. This Agreement does permit the installation or use of multiple copies of the Resources, or the installation of the Resources on more than one computer, on a system that allows shared used of applications, on a multi-user network, or on any configuration or system of computers that allows multiple users only to the extent that:

1. Such sharing is solely for purpose of your Organization.
2. You do not attempt to sell or share any version of the Resources outside of the purposes of your Organization.
3. You are installing or downloading the Resources onto multiple devices for your own purposes.

Multiple copy use or installation outside of these parameters is only allowed if you obtain an appropriate licensing agreement for each user and each copy of the Resources. 

If you are licensing the Resources for your own purposes – and not that of an Organization – you are only permitted to share, copy or Resources multiple copies of the Resources according to item 3 above or for the archival purpose described above. 

Subsection B - Restrictions on Transfer 
Without first obtaining the express written consent of CIY, you may not assign your rights and obligations under this Agreement, or redistribute, encumber, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise transfer your rights to the Resources.   

Subsection C - Restrictions on Use
Other than for the purposes described above – specifically pertaining your Organization - you may not use, copy, or install the Resources on any system with more than one computer, or permit the use, copying, or installation of the Resources by more than one user or on more than one computer. If you hold multiple, validly licensed copies, you may not use, copy, or install the Resources on any system with more than the number of computers permitted by license, or permit the use, copying, or installation by more users, or on more computers than the number permitted by license other than as permitted above.   

You may not decompile, "reverse-engineer", disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code for the Resources.   

Subsection D - Restrictions on Alteration
Some Resources available on CIY Resources are intended to be editable, others are not. Resources that are intended to be edited for your purposes will be provided in easily edited file types. Regardless of file type or your ability to edit or alter the Resources, such editing or alteration is only permitted according to the parameters above as such edits and alterations serve the needs and purposes of your Organization. At no time is it permissible to edit or alter the Resources in order to share with others outside your Organization or for any manner of resale. Other than outlined above, you may not modify the Resources or create any derivative work of the Resources or its accompanying documentation. Derivative works include but are not limited to translations. Other than outlined above, you may not alter any files or libraries in any portion of the Resources. 

Subsection E - Restrictions on Copying
Within the scope of the purposes of your Organization you are permitted to copy the Resources to share Resources designed for that purpose (i.e. sharing small group material with small group leaders). You may not, for any other purpose than outlined above, copy any part of the Resources except to the extent that licensed use inherently demands the creation of a temporary copy stored in computer memory and not permanently affixed on storage medium. You may make one archival copy which must be stored on a medium other than a computer hard drive. 

Subsection F - Limitation of Remedies and Damages
Your remedy for a breach of this Agreement or of any warranty included in this Agreement is the correction or replacement of the Resources. Selection of whether to correct or replace shall be solely at the discretion of CIY. CIY reserves the right to substitute a functionally equivalent copy of the Resources as a replacement. If CIY is unable to provide a replacement or substitute Resources or corrections to the Resources, your sole alternate remedy shall be a refund of the purchase price for the Resources exclusive of any costs for shipping and handling. 

Any claim must be made within the applicable warranty period. All warranties cover only defects arising under normal use and do not include malfunctions or failure resulting from misuse, abuse, neglect, alteration, problems with electrical power, acts of nature, unusual temperatures or humidity, improper installation, or damage determined by CIY to have been caused by you. All limited warranties on the Resources are granted only to you and are non-transferable. You agree to indemnify and hold CIY harmless from all claims, judgments, liabilities, expenses, or costs arising from your breach of this Agreement and/or acts or omissions.
