(b) RDC reserves all rights in Teledex and the Proprietary Information. You shall not have any right, title, or interest in Teledex or any of the Proprietary Information, nor in any of RDC's copyright or other rights therein, except for your right to use Teledex to access and use the Licensed Database(s) and the Licensed Information contained therein in accordance with this Agreement.

Except as specifically permitted by this Agreement or as otherwise may be specifically authorized by RDC in writing, you may not sell, assign, transfer, publish, disclose, display, download, reverse engineer, copy, reproduce, sublicense, transfer, transmit, distribute, or otherwise make available to any third party Teledex or any of the Proprietary Information in any form or by any means. You understand and acknowledge that if you violate the provisions of this paragraph, in addition to any damages suffered by RDC as a result for which you would be liable under this agreement, you might compromise the security of your account and suffer damages yourself. RDC will not be responsible for any such damages.
(d) You may make such copies of the Licensed Information as may be reasonably required for your own private or internal business purposes by transferring a Detail Page of Licensed Information at a time to paper or to a storage device that is under your exclusive control. Any such copy transferred to a storage device shall only be retained on the storage device for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed thirty (30) days, solely in order to facilitate your permitted use of the Licensed Information under this Agreement. In addition, you may incorporate the Licensed Information into reports you prepare for your own customers.
(e) All copies of the Licensed Information you make shall be the property of RDC and shall be subject to this Agreement. You agree to reproduce and incorporate all of RDC's copyright and other intellectual property and proprietary rights notices in any and all copies of the Licensed Information you make.

3. TERMS OF USE.
(b) Teledex is a publication, like a magazine or a newspaper. Through Teledex and its other publications, RDC only reports on public record filings. RDC is not a credit-reporting agency and makes no representations as to actual facts or circumstances at the time of filing or at any other time, including the time you access the reported information. RDC cautions you that public records do not always reflect actual circumstances and that the meaning of public records is often obscure. In addition, the conditions existing when a public record was filed might (and frequently do) change as time passes.
(c) Each and every time you log onto and use Teledex, you reaffirm this Agreement, including, without limitation, that you will use Teledex and the Licensed Information only as a reference to the public records. You further agree to verify independently any published information which affects you before taking any action, forming opinions, or otherwise relying on the published information in any way. You agree that you will take all prudent and necessary precautions in interpreting and using the Licensed Information, including any that you would have taken if you had not used or were not able to use Teledex.
(d) All Proprietary Information you obtain through Teledex is intended solely for your own use as the named subscriber. You agree that, unless permitted by this Agreement or you receive RDC's express written permission, you will not circulate or republish (either in paper form, electronically, or by phone, fax, or any other means) any Proprietary Information, whether by itself or included as part of any other information or materials. If, in spite of the foregoing, you do circulate or republish any Proprietary Information, or if you allow any Proprietary Information in your possession to be circulated or republished, you will be fully responsible to RDC for any and all resulting losses, damages, claims, liabilities, costs, and expenses suffered or incurred by RDC. In the event that you breach any of your obligations under this Agreement, RDC reserves the right to cancel immediately your access to Teledex and the Proprietary Information without prior notice or opportunity to cure. This is in addition to any other remedies RDC might have under law or this Agreement
(e) Publication of any category or item of information is dependent on that information continuing to be reasonably available in the public records. RDC assumes no responsibility for changes in public policy, which might affect the availability of public information.
4. CONFIDENTIALITY.
(b) You agree to employ diligent efforts and to exercise a reasonable degree of care so as to maintain the confidentiality of the Licensed Information, subject to your right to use the Licensed Information in the manner otherwise permitted by this Agreement. Such degree of care shall be at least as high as the degree of care which you would normally be expected to exercise with respect to your own proprietary information for which you wish to maintain confidentiality.
(c) While you may allow employees and contractors to have access to the Licensed Information for purposes of your permitted use of it, you agree to require all such employees and contractors to comply with your obligations under this Section. You also agree to notify RDC immediately of the occurrence of and the circumstances surrounding any unauthorized use, possession, or knowledge of the Licensed Information which becomes known to you.
5. COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE.
(b) The condition, repair, and compatibility of your communications equipment and software is your sole responsibility. RDC shall not be responsible for any defects, malfunctions, or other problems that may arise in your use of your communications equipment or software.
6. MAINTENANCE OF LICENSED DATABASE(S). RDC agrees to maintain each Licensed Database by updating it with additional Licensed Information as the same becomes available to RDC and is processed by it in the ordinary course of its operations. While RDC intends to keep each Licensed Database as up-to-date as reasonably possible given the requirements of its business and the availability of information from the public offices, RDC does not promise that any Licensed Database will be current as of any particular date.
7. LIMITED WARRANTY.
(b) RDC expressly disclaims responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the public records used to prepare the Licensed Information, whether with respect to (i) actual physical conditions or circumstances existing in fact, (ii) representations made by the parties between themselves or to the public officer at the time of recording, or (iii) procedures followed by the public officer or office and compliance with applicable laws and regulations (including, without limitation, the calculation and administration of the real estate transfer tax by the registries of deeds).
(c) RDC provides the following LIMITED WARRANTIES to you:
(ii) During the term of this Agreement, if there is a problem with RDC's communications equipment or software which adversely affects you by resulting in faulty retrieval, failure of retrieval, or loss of research, then RDC will make an appropriate adjustment to your Hits ; provided, that you promptly report any such problem to RDC by telephoning RDC's offices (603-669-3822).
(d) The foregoing sets forth your exclusive remedy and RDC's entire liability, whether in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise, arising out of or in any way connected with any RDC-caused error in any of the Licensed Information and/or any problem with RDC's communications equipment or software. It is expressly agreed that such remedies and liabilities shall not apply to errors in any Licensed Information not caused by RDC nor to any problems related to your communications equipment or software or any improper use of Teledex or any of the Proprietary Information by you.
(e) With the sole exception of the limited warranties set forth in subsection (c) above, RDC MAKES AND YOU RECEIVE NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO TELEDEX OR ANY OF THE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED.
(f) The limited warranty set forth in subsection (c) above gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state or jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Some states or other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.
8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
(b) RDC's liability to you for any breach or default by RDC under this Agreement, any error or other defect in Teledex or any of the Proprietary Information, or any problem with RDC's communications equipment or software is limited to any actual losses and damages you suffer in an amount not to exceed the fee you paid for the Hits you used to access or to attempt to access Teledex at the time such breach, default, error, defect, or problem occurred. RDC reserves the right to settle any claim by issuing a refund for any used or unused Hits.
(c) IN NO EVENT SHALL RDC OR ANY PROVIDER OF ANY INFORMATION OR SERVICE TO RDC BE LIABLE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF USE OF TELEDEX OR ANY PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, OR ANY INACCURACIES, ERRORS, OR OMISSIONS THEREIN) AS A RESULT OF ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF RDC WITH RESPECT TO TELEDEX OR ANY OF THE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION OR ANY BREACH OR DEFAULT BY RDC UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF RDC HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES. Some states or other jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
(d) You shall be responsible for, and shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless RDC from and against any and all claims by third parties arising out of or in any way related to your use of Teledex or any of the Proprietary Information.
9. TERMINATION AND EXPIRATION OF HITS.
(b) This Agreement and/or your license of Teledex and the Proprietary Information may be terminated by you at any time by written notice to RDC. RDC may terminate this Agreement and/or your license of Teledex and the Proprietary Information at any time upon at least five (5) days' prior written notice to you; provided, that, for Cause, RDC may terminate this Agreement and/or your license of Teledex and the Proprietary Information without prior notice.
(c) If RDC terminates this Agreement without Cause, then RDC shall refund to you the purchase price you paid you for all unused Tickets remaining upon termination of this Agreement; otherwise, the purchase price you have paid for unused Tickets is non-refundable.
(d) No termination of this Agreement shall relieve you from any liability under this Agreement for any existing breach or default under this Agreement, nor shall the same relieve you from your obligations under Sections 2, 3, and 4 above (which obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement). The right of RDC to terminate this Agreement without notice for Cause shall be in addition to such other rights or remedies as may be available to RDC at law or in equity for any breach or default by you.
10. GENERAL.
(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall be for the benefit of RDC and you and our respective legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns; provided, that you shall not be entitled assign, sublicense, or delegate this Agreement, in whole or in part, without RDC's prior written consent.

RDC will endeavor to include notice on the Teledex log on page of the last date that this Agreement was changed or amended and will endeavor to include links to the then-current Agreement, but neither the failure by RDC to include such notice on the log on page nor your failure to actually take notice of such changes or amendments (whether or not RDC shall include such log on page notice) shall alter the fact that the newly posted Agreement shall be binding as provided herein. It is your responsibility to check for changes or amendments to the Agreement before you log onto Teledex. The terms and conditions of the Agreement in effect at the time you log onto Teledex shall be binding on RDC and you
(e) No change or amendment of this Agreement (other than one which has been posted by RDC as provided above) shall be valid or binding unless the same shall be in writing and signed by both RDC and you.

Any action to enforce this Agreement, or for any breach or default of this Agreement, shall be brought in the Federal or State courts of the State of New Hampshire. RDC and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and State courts of the State of New Hampshire with respect to this Agreement and any actions between RDC and you pertaining to Teledex or any of the Proprietary Information.
(h) If any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall, to any extent, be held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction or statute, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term, condition, or provision to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term, condition, and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
