END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR MONEYLAUNDERING.COM AND COMPLIANCEADVANTAGE.COM

You (as defined below) have received this End User License Agreement (this “EULA”) because You already have entered into a mutually agreed form of subscription order (the “Subscription Order”) for an online news and information service of Alert Global Media, Inc. (“AGM”), as more specifically identified in the Subscription Order (the “Service”). This EULA supplements, and forms a single contract with the Subscription Order by establishing Your rights and obligations with respect to the Service and all information, databases, software, and/or materials contained therein as well as any accompanying documentation or manuals (collectively, the “Content”). As used in this EULA the terms “You”, “Your” and their variants mean the company, entity or individual who has entered into the Subscription Order and paid the required fees for the Service and Content. All other capitalized terms used in this EULA (other than those capitalized for grammatical reasons) have the meaning given to them in the Section in which they first appear as indicated by bold type.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO BE READ BEFORE ACCESSING THE SERVICE AND CONTENT

Carefully read all the terms and conditions of this EULA. By clicking on the “ACCEPT” or “YES” button You are consenting to be bound by and are becoming a party to the contract formed by this EULA and the Subscription Order; any subsequent reference to the word “EULA” refers to that contract. If You do not agree to all of the terms of this EULA, click the “DO NOT ACCEPT” or “NO” button, stop the process of accessing the Service and Content immediately and contact Your AGM representative for further instructions. The controlling version of this EULA shall be exclusively this English language version regardless of any other language into which it may be translated.

1. License Grant

Subject to the terms and conditions of this EULA and the Subscription Order, AGM grants to You during the term hereof (described in Paragraph 9) a revocable, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable, limited license to access and use the Service and Content for your own internal business purposes. The Content provided under the terms of the Subscription Order and the EULA may be displayed for each Authorized User’s (defined in Paragraph 2) individual use only and not for further distribution, dissemination, or display to third parties or other of Your employees, including other employees who are Authorized Users. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may provide access to Content in batches of no more than ten (10) to your customers, clients or other third parties with whom you have a business relationship, subject to this EULA, including the attribution rules set forth in Paragraph 3. Your Authorized Users may also sign up to have Content emailed to them in full text directly from AGM via the preference pages of the Service. Except as specifically provided herein, You are prohibited from accessing, using, reselling, databasing or duplicating the Content. AGM reserves the right to remove any of the Content from the Service or deactivate any Link at any time in its sole discretion.

2. Certain License Rights Terms Defined

“Authorized Users” means Your employees. Your on-site temporary employees or independent contractors may also be Authorized Users. You acknowledge and agree that You are responsible for use of the Service by any such temporary employees and independent contractors to the same extent as if they were employees. For the avoidance of doubt, “Authorized Users” shall not include customers, clients or other third-parties with whom You have a business relationship; “Document” means the full text of an individual item of the Content available from AGM, including the title, publication name, publication date, headline, byline, and publisher copyright notice; “Intranet Website” means Your internal website accessible only to Your employees, onsite temporary employees or independent contractors.

3. Conditions of License

(a) If, pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Order, the number of Authorized Users is for a specific department only or for anything less than all of Your employees, You shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to restrict access to and use of the Service to Authorized Users.

You will only place the Content on a department webpage that is accessible by the Authorized Users only.

(b)To the extent You suspect or become aware that other unauthorized users or employees are accessing Content or, such access appears to be occurring through audits conducted by AGM, then You and AGM will jointly agree on corrective action to be taken which may include the following: (i) payment of fees applicable to a greater number of Authorized Users, up to the total number of Your employees, if appropriate; and (ii) You implementing the necessary technology on Your Intranet Website to restrict access to the Authorized Users.

(c) AGM reserves the right to make changes in the information included in the Content or in the format of the Service for any reason.

(d) Documents that are displayed whether internally or externally as permitted under this EULA, must be displayed in their entirety (including any applicable copyright notice) and must contain AGM branding in either of the following two formats: “Source: MoneyLaundering.com” or “Source:  ComplianceAdvantage.com.”

(i)You shall bear all expenses arising out of or relating to accessing the Content through use of the Service, including, but not limited to, telephone toll, line installation or other charges and computer hardware or any other equipment. AGM is not responsible for the reliability or continued availability of any telephone lines or communications equipment or software (including any software used by AGM in furnishing, or Your in accessing, the AGM Service).

(l)You agree to advise Your employees and agents of the terms and conditions of this EULA and also agree that any violation of this EULA by any such employee or agent shall constitute a violation of this EULA by You.
