4. THIRD PARTY CONTENT

The Service and Content will contain information on auction sales being conducted by entities and/or individuals all of whom are independent from AZSA.

11. ACCESS TO THE SERVICE
AZSA grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to access the Service for your own personal use. This license does not include:

(a) Access to the Service by Posting Agents; or

(b) any aggregation, duplication, display or derivative use of the Service nor any use of data mining, robots, spiders, or similar data aggregating and extraction for any purpose unless expressly permitted by AZSA. Except however, a limited exception is provided to general purpose internet search engines and non-commercial public archives that use such tools to gather information for the sole purpose of displaying hyperlinks to the Service, provided they each do so from a stable IP address or range of IP addresses using an easily identifiable agent. This limited exception does not apply, however, to any website, search engine or other service that specializes in auction or sale listings or which is in the business of providing such listing services.

AZSA permits you to display on your website, or create a hyperlink on your website to the Service so long as the link does not portray AZSA, its employees, members or affiliates in a false, misleading, derogatory or otherwise offensive matter.

Use of the Service beyond the scope of authorized access granted to you by AZSA immediately terminates said license or permission. In order to collect, aggregate, copy, duplicate, display or make derivative use of the Service or any Content for other purposes not stated here, including commercial purposes, you must first obtain a license from AZSA.

12. TERMINATION OF SERVICE

You agree that AZSA in its sole discretion has the right, but not the obligation, to delete or deactivate your account or to otherwise terminate your access to or use of the Service or any part thereof, and to remove and discard any Content posted on the Service by you, immediately and without notice, for any reason, including without limitation if AZSA believes that you have acted inconsistently with the spirit of the Terms of Use. Further, you agree that AZSA shall not be liable to you or to any third-party for any termination of your access to the Service. You agree not to attempt to use the Service after such termination.

13. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

The Service is protected to the maximum extent permitted by copyright laws and international treaties. Content displayed on or through the Service is protected by copyright as a collective work and/or compilation, pursuant to copyrights laws, and international conventions. Any reproduction, modification, creation of derivative works from or redistribution of the website or the collective work, and/or copying or reproducing the websites or any portion thereof to any other server or location for further reproduction or redistribution is prohibited without the express written consent of AZSA. You further agree not to reproduce, duplicate or copy Content from the Service without the express written consent of AZSA, and you agree to abide by any and all copyright notices displayed on the Service. You may not decompile or disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to discover any source code contained in the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit for any commercial purposes, any aspect of the Service. The AZSA logotype is a registered mark in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Although AZSA does not claim ownership of content that its users post, by posting Content to the Service you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that, you have the right to grant to AZSA an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid, worldwide license to use, copy, display and distribute such Content and to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such Content, and to grant and authorize sub-licenses of the foregoing.

15. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL AZSA BE LIABLE FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, EVEN IF AZSA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, RESULTING FROM ANY ASPECT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, WHETHER THE DAMAGES ARISE FROM USE OR MISUSE THE SERVICE, FROM INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE OR THE INTERRUPTION, SUSPENSION, MODIFICATION, ALTERATION OR TERMINATION OF THE SERVICE. SUCH LIMITATION SHALL ALSO APPLY WITH RESPECT TO DAMAGES INCURRED BY REASON OF OTHER SERVICES OR PRODUCTS RECEIVED THROUGH OR ADVERTISED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE OR ANY LINK APPEARING ON THE SERVICE, ANY ERROR OR OMISSION IN RESPECT TO CONTENT, ADVERTISING RELATED LIABILITY, AS WELL AS BY REASON OF ANY INFORMATION OR ADVICE RECEIVED THROUGH OR ADVERTISED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE OR ANY LINK APPEARING ON THE SERVICE.

16. INDEMNITY

You agree to indemnify and hold AZSA, its officers, affiliates, successors, assigns, directors, officers, agents, service providers, suppliers, members and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorney fees and court costs, made by any third party due to or arising out of Content you submit, post or make available through the Service; your use of the Service; your violation of the Terms of Use; your breach of any of the representations and warranties herein or your violation of any rights of another.

17. VIOLATION OF TERMS AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

Please report any violations of the Terms of Use by .
______________________________________

Failure to act by AZSA with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive its right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. You understand and agree that, because damages are often difficult to quantify, if it becomes necessary for AZSA to pursue legal action to enforce these Terms of Use, you will be liable to pay AZSA the following amounts as liquidated damages, which you accept as reasonable estimates of AZSA's damages for the specified breaches of these Terms:

a) If you create a Posting that impersonates any person or entity, falsely states or otherwise misrepresents your affiliation with a person or entity or that includes personal or identifying information about another person without that person's explicit consent, you agree to pay AZSA $1,000 for each such Posting.

b) If AZSA establishes limits on the frequency with which you may access the Service, or terminates your access to or use of the Service, you agree to pay AZSA $100 for each Posting in excess of such limits or for each day on which you access the Service in excess of such limits, whichever is higher.

c) If you send unsolicited email advertisements to AZSA member email addresses or through AZSA computer systems, you agree to pay AZSA $25 for each such email.

d) If you post Content in violation of the Terms of Use, you agree to pay AZSA $100 for each such Posting.

e) If you are a Posting Agent that uses the Service in violation of the Terms of Use, in addition to any liquidated damages under clause (d), above, you agree to pay AZSA $100 for each and every Posting you post in violation of the Terms of Use. A Posting Agent will also be deemed an agent of the party engaging the Posting Agent to access the Service (the "Principal"), and the Principal, by engaging the Posting Agent in violation of the Terms of Use, agrees to pay AZSA an additional $100 for each Posting posted by the Posting Agent on behalf of the Principal in violation of the Terms of Use.

f) If you aggregate, display, duplicate, reproduce, or otherwise exploit for any purpose any Content (except for your own Content) in violation of these Terms of Use without AZSA's express written permission, you agree to pay AZSA $3,000 for each day on which you engage in such conduct.

Otherwise, you agree to pay AZSA's actual damages to the extent such actual damages can be reasonably calculated. In its sole discretion, AZSA may elect to issue a warning before assessing damages.

18. GENERAL

These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and AZSA in respect to the Service, and govern your use of the Service, superceding any prior agreements between you and AZSA in that regard. The Terms of Use and the relationship between you and AZSA shall be governed by the laws of the State of Arizona without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and AZSA agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within Maricopa County, Arizona. The failure of AZSA to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms of Use is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms of Use remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or the Terms of Use must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
