of derivative works or other commercial use all in accordance with BIC's
download policy. The Images which may be downloaded from the Site are for

by copyright laws. You agree that you will not distribute or otherwise provide the
Images to any third party. You further agree to keep confidential and use your best
efforts to prevent and protect the Images from unauthorized disclosure or use, including,
but not limited to taking necessary steps to prevent use of the Images by individuals
not specifically licensed to use the Images under these terms and conditions. BIC
reserves all rights, title and interest to the Images not expressly granted to you
under these terms and conditions.
Term and Termination of Limited License.
The license set forth herein is effective until terminated (i) by your deletion
of any Images downloaded by you or (ii) automatically if you fail to comply with
these terms and conditions. In the event that the license is terminated, you agree
to destroy (or permanently erase) all copies of the Images. BIC may terminate this
license at any time by providing notice to you by fax, email or letter.
Restrictions.
You are not permitted to sell, rent, lease, lend or otherwise transfer the Images
on a permanent or temporary basis without the written consent of BIC. You are not
permitted to distribute items containing the Images for a commercial purpose. You
are not permitted, nor can you allow any third party, to remove any proprietary

or assign, delegate or otherwise transfer this license or any of the related rights
or obligations for any reason. Any attempt to make any such sublicense, assignment,
delegation or other transfer by you shall be void and shall void your rights to
use the license granted by these terms and conditions.

and any copies thereof are vested in and shall remain in BIC and/or its suppliers.
You agree that you neither own nor hereby acquire any claim or right of ownership
to the Images or to any related patents, copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual
property. The Images are protected by the copyright laws and other intellectual

any order and correct errors, inaccuracies or omissions on the Site at any time

been charged and your order is cancelled, BIC will refund the amount of the charge
to the original pay type.
Pricing Policy
Image prices and availability are subject to change without notice, in BIC's sole
discretion.
Sales Tax Policy
Because BIC does business throughout the United States and collects and remits sales
tax as required by law, the Site also collects and remits sales tax as appropriate.
If you have tax-exempt status, please fax the supporting documentation (i.e. tax-exempt
certificate, Direct Pay Permit or Reseller's Permit) toll-free to 1-800-947-1445.
Be sure to reference your BIC confirmation number. The documentation MUST be received
prior to the order being shipped. If you indicated that you have tax-exempt status
in your order, BIC will not process your order until we receive proof of such status.
Paying for Your Order
You may pay for your orders with a major credit card issued in the United States
of America, with billing address in United States. Currently, we accept Visa®,
MasterCard®, American Express® and Discover® Card.
Credit cards are not charged until the Image has been downloaded at which time you

taxes.
Validating Your Order
After you place an order using the Site shopping cart, BIC will check the information
you provide for validity, by verifying your method of payment and billing address.
BIC also verifies the pricing and quantity of the Image requested. BIC reserves
the right to decline any order submitted and/or limit the Image quantities purchased
by you, without giving any reason. The quantity purchased of Images being offered
with a rebate and/or discount may be limited by BIC in its sole discretion. If BIC
declines your order, BIC will attempt to notify you using the e-mail address you
provided during your registration on this Site.

acceptance of your order and confirmation that your payment has been received. BIC
reserves the right at any time prior to confirmation of your order to accept or
decline your order for any reason.
