Professional Licence Agreement
for LearningMethods^TM Audio and/or Video Recordings

As a LearningMethods Teacher or Apprentice-teacher you may purchase and use audio or video recordings of various LearningMethods sessions and workshops. All LearningMethods recordings are protected under international copyright laws and many of the sessions contained in these recordings are of a very personal and confidential material. In order to protect the participants of these sessions, as well as yourself and the property rights of the copyright holders, you must sign this Professional Licence Agreement in order to have access to these recordings.

You will only need to sign this Licence Agreement once, either at the time of becoming a formal LearningMethods Apprentice-teacher or on making your first order for any of the licensed LearningMethods recordings. Each subsequent licensed recording that you order will be covered under the terms of your original Licence Agreement but will carry a unique Licence Number assigned to you for the identification of that particular collection of material.

By signing this Professional Licence Agreement (the “Agreement”) the individual (the "Licensee") licensing these LearningMethods recordings (the "Recordings") is consenting to be bound by and is becoming a party to this agreement. The Recordings are protected by copyright laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. THE RECORDINGS ARE LICENSED, NOT SOLD.

1. LICENCE GRANT. David Gorman or his suppliers ("Licensor") grants Licensee a non-exclusive and non-transferable licence to use the Recordings for personal learning purposes. This licence entitles Licensee to use the original Recordings and to make one copy of the original Recordings on audio media (cassette, minidisk, MP3 player, etc.) or video media (cassette, DVD, etc.) for personal use. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to both the original Recordings and the copy (if any).

2. RESTRICTIONS. Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement, Licensee may not: (i) modify or create any derivative works of the Recordings or documentation, including transcription or translation; (ii) copy, redistribute, lend, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise transfer rights to the Recordings; (iii) remove or alter any trademark, logo, copyright or other proprietary notices, legends, symbols or labels in the Recordings; or (v) broadcast or allow any other person to listen to the Recordings.

3. TERMINATION. Without prejudice to any other rights, Licensor may terminate this Agreement if Licensee breaches any of its terms and conditions. Upon termination, Licensee shall destroy all copies of the Recordings.

4. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. Title, ownership rights, and intellectual property rights in the Recordings shall remain in Licensor and/or others as specified in the separate Release Form. Licensee acknowledges such ownership and intellectual property rights and will not take any action to jeopardize, limit or interfere in any manner with Licensor’s ownership of or rights with respect to the Recordings (and/or others’ rights as specified in the separate Release Form). The Recordings are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws and by international treaties. Licensee agrees, at its expense, to defend and hold Licensor, its affiliates and other rights holders harmless from any and all costs, damages and reasonable attorneys' fees resulting from any claim that Licensee's use of the Recordings has injured or otherwise violated any right of any third party or violates any law.

5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. The recordings are provided on an "as is" basis, without warranty of any kind, including without limitation the warranties that they are free of defects, merchantable, fit for a particular purpose or non-infringing. the entire risk as to the quality and performance of the recordings is borne by Licensee. should the recordings prove defective in any respect, Licensee and not Licensor or its suppliers or resellers assumes the entire cost of any service and repair. this disclaimer of warranty constitutes an essential part of this agreement. no use of the recordings is authorized hereunder except under this disclaimer.

6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Licensor or its suppliers or resellers be liable for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use of or inability to use the recordings, including, without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses, even if advised of the possibility thereof, and regardless of the legal or equitable theory (contract, tort or otherwise) upon which the claim is based. In any case, Licensor's entire liability under any provision of this agreement shall not exceed in the aggregate the sum of the fees Licensee paid for this Agreement (if any) and fees for support of the recordings received by Licensor under a separate support agreement (if any), with the exception of death or personal injury caused by the negligence of Licensor to the extent applicable law prohibits the limitation of damages in such cases. some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion and limitation may not be applicable. Licensor is not responsible for any liability arising out of content provided by Licensee or a third party that is accessed through the recordings and/or any material linked through such content.

7. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof.

(d) This Agreement shall not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. (e) If any provision in this Agreement should be held illegal or unenforceable by a court having jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the extent necessary to render it enforceable without losing its intent, or severed from this Agreement if no such modification is possible, and other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. (f) A waiver by either party of any term or condition of this Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, shall not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof.

(l) Licensor may change the terms of this Agreement from time to time. By continuing to use the Recordings beyond a period of 30 days after notice of such change has been provided on a public website of Licensor or its affiliate for the first time, Licensee signifies its consent to the revised terms.
