LOGO PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Agreement governs the terms by which members and clients of iStockphoto obtain the right to use logo content provided by members of the iStockphoto.com community through the web site located at www.istockphoto.com (the “Site”). This Logo Purchase Agreement is in addition to the Terms of Use applicable to the Site and to the Membership Agreement that all persons providing content to or downloading content from the Site have previously entered into. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement, the Membership Agreement and the Terms of Use (both of which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference), the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
1. Background of Agreement
(a) This is a fairly lengthy document, and it contains many important provisions that affect your rights and obligations. By selecting the correct box at the end of this Agreement and typing “I Agree” or otherwise signifying your acceptance (herein referred to as “Accept”), you indicate that you have read and understood the entire Agreement and accept this Agreement either for yourself or on behalf of your employer or the entity that is identified as the member account holder, and agree to be bound by its provisions. If you are Accepting on behalf of your employer or the entity that is the member account holder, you represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind your employer or such other entity. If you do not have such authority or you do not accept or agree with these terms, do not Accept the Agreement and do not download the Logo Content (defined below).
(b) In this Agreement: (i) “you” or the “Client” means you or, if you are Accepting on behalf of your employer or member account entity, then “you” or the "Client" means that employer or entity and affiliates; (ii) “iStockphoto” or “we” means iStockphoto LP, operator of the Site; (iii) “Logo Content” means any logo design files, which may include but not be limited to illustrations, animations, fonts, data files and code snippets and other material applicable to logo designs generated optically, electronically, digitally or by any other means or in any media or other material that you are downloading from the Site, together with any accompanying material; (iv) “Supplier” shall mean any member of iStockphoto that has uploaded Logo Content to the Site; “IPR” means: all intellectual property rights of any type whatsoever throughout the world including but not limited to all rights that subside in copyright, patent, trademark, design, plant breeders rights, rights of privacy and rights of publicity whether or not such rights are registered or able to be registered; and (v) “Intellectual Property Transfer Agreement (Logo)” means iStockphoto’s form of Intellectual Property transfer agreement, as such agreement may be amended from time to time.
2. Standard License Terms
As a condition of this Agreement, you shall enter contemporaneously herewith into the Intellectual Property Transfer Agreement (Logo), in relation to the assignment of the Supplier’s rights and title, including IPR, in the Logo Content to you. iStockphoto and its affiliates shall not be a party to the Intellectual Property Transfer Agreement (Logo) and shall have no liability whatsoever in relation to the performance or failure of the Supplier or you under the terms of the Intellectual Property Transfer Agreement (Logo).
3. Name Change
(a) This Agreement is set up as a user-determined document where, in addition to the standard logo purchase agreement (the “Standard Agreement”), you may choose, where available, to contract for a logo name change (the “Name Change”). At the end of this Agreement you may have the opportunity to select a “Name Change”. The Name Change option allows you to direct iStockphoto to modify a name included in the Logo Content.
(b) If you select the Name Change, you shall provide iStockphoto with a name that is not infringing, defamatory or libelous in nature and that shall not exceed that number of characters as provided for on the Site adjacent to the Logo Content (the “Client Name”). iStockphoto shall, within 2 business days (in the City of Calgary, Alberta), modify the Logo Content to remove the business name in the Logo Content and replace it with the Client Name. The completed Name Change shall not be subject to your approval.
(c) To the extent that the Client Name includes characters that are not supported by the font or typeface that has been used in the Logo Content, iStockphoto, in its sole discretion, may substitute the font or typeface.
(d) iStockphoto may, in its sole discretion, decline the Client Name for any reason, in which case, iStockphoto will refund the amount paid by you for the Name Change. Such refund shall be your sole remedy against iStockphoto in respect of the Name Change or a declined Client Name.
(e) In addition to Section 4(b), iStockphoto makes no REPESENTATION, WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND IN RESPECT OF THE NAME CHANGE, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE NAME CHANGE IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE CLIENT. ISTOCKPHOTO DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE NAME CHANGE OR THE CLIENT NAME DOES NOT INFRINGE A THIRD PARTY’S IPR, WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT ITS USE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE NAME CHANGE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE NAME CHANGE PROVE DEFECTIVE OR DOES NOT MEET YOUR APPROVAL, YOU (AND NOT ISTOCKPHOTO) ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK AND COST OF ALL CORRECTIONS.
4. iStockphoto Representations and Warranties
(a) iStockphoto grants no rights and makes no warranties regarding the use of names, people, trademarks, trade dress, patented or copyrighted designs or works of art or architecture or other forms of intellectual property represented in any Logo Content. While we have made reasonable efforts to correctly categorize and keyword the Logo Content, iStockphoto does not warrant the accuracy of such information.
(b) THE CONTENT IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT REPESENTATION, WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND IN RESPECT OF THE LOGO CONTENT, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. ISTOCKPHOTO DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE CONTENT DOES NOT INFRINGE A THIRD PARTY’S IPR, WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT ITS USE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE CONTENT IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE CONTENT PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU (AND NOT ISTOCKPHOTO) ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK AND COST OF ALL NECESSARY CORRECTIONS.
IN PARTICULAR AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, IF YOU ARE DOWNLOADING CONTENT THAT IS IN A FLASH FORMAT OR FILE (WHETHER .SWF OR OTHERWISE) ISTOCKPHOTO MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY RESPECTING SUCH CONTENT WHATSOEVER, WHETHER AS TO OWNERSHIP, TECHNICAL OR LEGAL COMPLIANCE, OR OTHERWISE.

(c) IN ANY EVENT, THE TOTAL MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ISTOCKPHOTO UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE LICENSE PROVIDED HEREUNDER, OR THE USE OR EXPLOITATION OF ANY OR ALL OF THE CONTENT IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO ISTOCKPHOTO UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN RESPECT OF THE USE OF THE RELEVANT CONTENT.
(d) SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW FOR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
