THE PARTIES
-
The parties to this license are Civic, the Customer, and the Authorized User.
The "Customer" is the person or organization that has entered into a license
agreement with Civic for access to one or more Databases and the Business
Decision Software ("Software"). The "Authorized User" is a) a card-holding
patron in good standing of Customer; or b) an employee of Customer, in either
case authorized by Customer to access the Databases and Software (as defined
below) through the Customer's website and remote patron authentication systems
subject to the terms of Customer's license.
-
This license applies to Databases and Software. "Databases" are those
searchable electronic databases published by Civic for which the Customer has
paid the appropriate fee or has been authorized for a period of trial access.
"Software" is proprietary search retrieval software incorporated in and
utilized through certain ESRI web service software under the name, Business
Decision. Databases and Software are sometimes referred to below as "Services."
-
In granting this license to the Authorized User, Civic is also acting on behalf
of Information Partners and Technology Partners. "Information Partners" are
entities that have licensed to Civic the information in a Database. "Technology
Partners" are entities that have licensed to Civic search, retrieval or other
software used with the Databases. Each Information Partner or Technology
Partner retains its right to enforce its trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade
secrets, and other rights directly against the Customer or Authorized User.
-
In consideration of your use of the Service, you represent that you are of
legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving
services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction.
You also agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information
about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration form (such information
being the "Registration Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the
Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you
provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete,
or if Civic has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue,
inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Civic has the right to suspend or
terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the
Service (or any portion thereof).

2.3 REPORT VOLUME AND TIME DURATION LIMITATIONS
Customer's license from Civic grants it the right to allow Authorized Users to

the Databases via the internet through the Customer's website using remote
patron authentication. In the event that the maximum number of reports would be
exceeded during the specified time period or upon expiration of the license
period, Authorized Users will not be able to obtain additional reports until
