By agreeing to these terms at purchase or using the Content or Trademarks, you agree to legally bind Licensee to the terms of this Agreement.


 

2. RIGHTS INCLUDED. Depending on the License purchased, it may include trademarks, logos, and brands (collectively, “Trademarks”) and curriculum materials, Bible studies, eBooks, articles, music, images, messages, artwork, graphics files, video recordings, audio recordings, posters, text, data, and other copyrighted content in any format or medium (collectively, “Content”). The License is limited to only the specific Trademarks and Content included in the materials made available by WP as part of the Content package licensed by the Licensee.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, WP grants to the Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license during the Term to display and reproduce the Trademarks and to reproduce, display, and perform the Content, in each case (as described in the Usage Limitations): (i) solely for the Licensee’s personal use; or (ii) in order to promote, display, perform, and conduct the ministry program described in the License. The Licensee agrees not to use any Trademark or Content in, on, or associated with any for-sale products or services, including products or services sold to members of the Licensee’s church or organization. The Licensee agrees not to alter or adapt the Trademarks or Content without prior written approval from WP and all use of the Trademarks inures to the benefit of WP.

If Licensee is a church or organization, Licensee acknowledges that representatives of WP may, on reasonable notice, inspect said programs to confirm conformance with the standards referenced in this Agreement.


 

4. NO SUBLICENSE OR ASSIGNMENT. The License granted by this Agreement does not permit the Licensee to sublicense the Trademarks or the Content, or assign this Agreement, to any other person or organization without the prior written approval of WP. Any attempted sublicense or assignment without such approval is null and void and constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.


 

5. USAGE LIMITATIONS. For Licenses purchased by individuals, access and use is limited to personal use in a private home setting. For Licenses purchased by churches and other organizations, access to the Content and Trademarks is limited to staff and volunteers of the Licensee solely to conduct its ministry program, and display and distribution is limited to use within the facilities in which the Licensee conducts its worship services and discipleship gatherings. It is the responsibility of the person purchasing the License on behalf of the Licensee to ensure the limitations of this Agreement are communicated to all staff and volunteers who access the Content and/or Trademarks.

The Licensee will not challenge or dispute WP’s exclusive rights in and to the Trademarks or the Content, and agrees to provide prompt written notice to WP in the event that the Licensee learns that any person or organization infringed or is infringing upon WP’s rights to the Trademarks or the Content.

15. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of Indiana without regard to conflict of law provisions. 16. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
