5. Special Provisions Applicable to
Resellers
Intellirex.com and it's partner companies from time to time may offer
reseller programs which will permit Customers to resell certain of
Intellirex.com's products and services, and be eligible for certain
discounts, services and other promotions. A Customer that participates
in a reseller program is referred to herein as a "Reseller". To be
eligible to participate in a reseller program, the Reseller may be
required to meet certain requirements as provided in such reseller
program. If you are a Reseller, the terms and conditions in this section
(in addition to any terms or conditions contained in the reseller
program) are applicable to you.
As a Reseller, you are Intellirex.com's Customer. A Reseller shall be
deemed, and is the "Customer" for all purposes under this Agreement and
the Usage Policy. When you resell the Services, the purchaser of those
resold services becomes your customer (a "Reseller Customer"). A
Reseller Customer is not a Customer of Intellirex.com, and
Intellirex.com will not support any Reseller Customer. Reseller shall
take all necessary measures to preclude Intellirex.com from being made a
party to any agreement with any Reseller Customer. As a Reseller, you
are authorized to resell the Services identified in the applicable
reseller program on a non-exclusive basis. Intellirex.com reserves the
right to market and sell its products and services through its own
employees, other resellers and other representatives and retailers that
may compete with you. The terms and conditions of such other
relationships may differ from the terms of this Agreement and the
reseller program, and may be better. Reseller shall be responsible for
billing, and collecting payments from, Reseller Customers. Reseller
shall not withhold payments to Intellirex.com under this Agreement
because of a failure of a Reseller Customer to make payments to
Reseller. Reseller may set the prices to be paid to it by Reseller
Customers for any of the resold Services. Reseller shall provide all
support (including, without limitation, customer support, first level
support, second level support, and other technical support) for Reseller
Customers. Reseller shall pay all sales, use, transfer, privilege,
excise or other taxes and all duties, whether international, state or
local, however designated, which are levied or imposed on Intellirex.com
and Reseller under this Agreement and any and all transactions between
Reseller and Reseller Customers. Reseller shall not resell the Services
under Intellirex.com's brand name. Reseller shall be solely responsible
for compliance with any regulations governing the export of the Services
(or any portion thereof). Nothing in this Agreement constitutes a
license to Reseller to use or resell the Marks (as defined below).
6. Intellirex
as Reseller or Licensor
Intellirex is acting only as a reseller or licensor of the hardware,
software and equipment used in connection with the products and/or
Services that were or are manufactured or provided by a third party
("Non-Intellirex Product"). Intellirex.com shall not be responsible for
any changes in the Services that cause the Non-Intellirex.com Product to
become obsolete, require modification or alteration, or otherwise affect
the performance of the Services. Any malfunction or manufacturer's
defects of Non-Intellirex Product either sold, licensed or provided by
Intellirex.com to Customer or purchased directly by Customer used in
connection with the Services will not be deemed a breach of Intellirex's
obligations under this Agreement. Any rights or remedies Customer may
have regarding the ownership, licensing, performance or compliance of
Non-Intellirex Product are limited to those rights extended to Customer
by the manufacturer of such Non-Intellirex Product. Customer is entitled
to use any Non-Intellirex Product supplied by Intellirex only in
connection with Customer's permitted use of the Services. Customer shall
use its best efforts to protect and keep confidential all intellectual
property provided by Intellirex to Customer through any Non-Intellirex
Product and shall make no attempt to copy, alter, reverse engineer, or
tamper with such intellectual property or to use it other than in
connection with the Services. Customer shall not resell, transfer,
export or re-export any Non-Intellirex Product, or any technical data
derived there from, in violation of any applicable United States or
foreign law.
7. IP Address Ownership
If Intellirex assigns Customer an Internet Protocol address for
Customer's use, the right to use that Internet Protocol address shall
belong only to Intellirex, and Customer shall have no right to use that
Internet Protocol address except as permitted by Intellirex in its sole
discretion in connection with the Services, during the term of this
Agreement. Intellirex shall maintain and control ownership of all
Internet Protocol numbers and addresses that may be assigned to Customer
by Intellirex, and Intellirex reserves the right to change or remove any
and all such Internet Protocol numbers and addresses, in its sole and
absolute discretion.
8. Caching
Customer expressly (i) grants to Intellirex a license to cache the
entirety of the Customer Content and Customer's web site, including
content supplied by third parties, hosted by Intellirex under this
Agreement and (ii) agrees that such caching is not an infringement of
any of Customer's intellectual property rights or any third party's
intellectual property rights.
9. CPU Usage
Customer agrees that Customer shall not use excessive amounts of CPU
processing on any of Intellirex or partner companies servers. Any
violation of this policy may result in corrective action by Intellirex
or partner companies, including assessment of additional charges,
disconnection or discontinuance of any and all Services, or termination
of this Agreement, which actions may be taken in Intellirex.com's sole
and absolute discretion. If Intellirex or partner companies takes any
corrective action under this section, Customer shall not be entitled to
a refund of any fees paid in advance prior to such action.
10. Bandwidth and Disk Usage
Customer agrees that bandwidth and disk usage shall not exceed the
number of megabytes per month for the Services ordered by Customer on
the Order Form (the "Agreed Usage"). Intellirex will monitor Customer's
bandwidth and disk usage. Intellirex shall have the right to take
corrective action if Customer's bandwidth or disk usage exceeds the
Agreed Usage. Such corrective action may include the assessment of
additional charges, disconnection or discontinuance of any and all
Services, or termination of this Agreement, which actions may be taken
in Intellirex sole and absolute discretion. If Intellirex takes any
corrective action under this section, Customer shall not be entitled to
a refund of any fees paid in advance prior to such action.
11. Property Rights
Intellirex owns all right, title and interest in and to the Services and
Intellirex trade names, trademarks, service marks, inventions,
copyrights, trade secrets, patents, know-how and other intellectual
property rights relating to the design, function, marketing, promotion,
sale and provision of the Services and the related hardware, software
and systems ("Marks"). Nothing in this Agreement constitutes a license
to Customer to use or resell the Marks.
12. Customer Web Site; E-Commerce; Customer
Warranties
Customer shall be solely responsible for the development, operation and
maintenance of Customer's web site, online store and e-commerce
activities, for all products and services offered by Customer or

13. Disclaimer of Warranty
Customer agrees to use all Services and any information obtained through
or from Intellirex, at Customer's own risk. Customer acknowledges and
agrees that Intellirex exercises no control over, and accepts no
responsibility for, the content of the information passing through
Intellirex or partner companies host computers, network hubs and points

ARE PROVIDED ON AN AS IS, AS AVAILABLE BASIS. NONE OF INTELLIREX, ITS
PARENT, SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATED CORPORATIONS, OR ANY OF THEIR
RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, AFFILIATES,
AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, THIRD-PARTY INFORMATION PROVIDERS, MERCHANTS,

OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR

and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, suits,
actions, demands, proceedings (whether legal or administrative), and

threatened, asserted, or filed by a third party against any of the

Customer agrees that no Intellirex Person, under any circumstances,
shall be held responsible or liable for situations where the Services

including situations where such data is accessed through the
exploitation of security gaps, weaknesses or flaws (whether known or
unknown to Intellirex at the time) which may exist in the Services or
Intellirex's equipment used to provide the Services.
Under no circumstances, including negligence, shall any Intellirex
Person be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or
punitive damages, or loss of profits, revenue, data or use by Customer,
