If you do not agree to be bound by the terms and conditions below, then you may not utilize the Information and must immediately terminate your access to the Site and use of the Service and Information derived there from. Your access to and use of the Service and Information are subject to the following terms and conditions, which may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you. It is your responsibility to check for such updates. You can review the most current of our Terms of Use at any time at www.verizonconnect.com. If the first time you attempt to access the Service you decide not to accept these terms and conditions, please immediately send written notice of your decision to the company from which you ordered the Service and request instructions on how to obtain a refund of any fees you prepaid for the unused Service. Verizon Connect ("Verizon Connect"®) provides a mapping and routing information service (the "Service") from www.verizonconnect.com and associated URLs (the "Site") and which may also be accessed through its Clients' and authorized Resellers' websites and/or systems. Your access to the Site or use of the Service and Information constitutes your acceptance of, and is conditional upon your continued acceptance of and agreement and compliance with, the following provisions:

Les parties ont exigé que la présente convention ainsi que tous documents s'y rattachant soient rédigés dans la langue anglaise. The foregoing translated into English means that "The parties have requested that this Agreement and the documents relating thereto be drawn up in the English language."

No Advice or Warranties

Information provided on the Site is believed to be reliable when posted or made available.

Verizon Connect assumes no obligation to update the Information. Information and features of the Service may contain typographical or other errors. Information provided may be changed or discontinued without notice. The Information is provided for informational purposes only.

Verizon Connect, ITS LICENSORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS FROM WHICH YOU MAY HAVE ORDERED THE SERVICES MAKE NO GUARANTEES AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY LAW OR OTHERWISE, REGARDING USE OF THE SITE, THE SERVICE AND/OR THE INFORMATION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, TITLE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT OR ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OR TRADE PRACTICE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERAL NATURE OF THE ABOVE, Verizon Connect MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION THAT THE SERVICE OR INFORMATION COMPLIES WITH THE NATIONAL NETWORK, BRIDGE HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS OR ANY OTHER RELATED POLICIES, REGULATIONS OR RULES OF THE ROAD.

Verizon Connect does not guarantee or warrant that any files made available for downloading from the Site will be free of infection by viruses, worms, "Trojan horses", or other code that manifest contaminating or destructive properties.

No Liability

YOU ASSUME ALL RISK ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE, THE SERVICE AND/OR ANY INFORMATION. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Verizon Connect AND ITS LICENSORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR OTHERWISE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, EXPENSE, DAMAGE, LOSS, LIABILITY, OBLIGATION, DEMAND OR ACTION (COLLECTIVELY, "DAMAGES"), IRRESPECTIVE OF THE NATURE OF THE CAUSE OF THE CLAIM, DEMAND OR ACTION, FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER AND HOWSOEVER CAUSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE, THE SERVICE OR IN RELIANCE ON THE INFORMATION, INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF USE, LOST DATA OR SOFTWARE, LOST BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, PERSONAL INJURY, OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT (INCLUDING FUNDAMENTAL BREACH), TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF Verizon Connect, ITS LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS OR AGENTS HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OR EXISTENCE THEREOF.

WITHOUT LIMITING AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING PARAGRAPH, IF FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER THE FOREGOING EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY ARE HELD UNENFORCEABLE OR INAPPLICABLE, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF Verizon Connect, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, INFORMATION PROVIDERS AND SUPPLIERS, IF ANY, FOR DAMAGES SHALL NOT EXCEED FIFTY DOLLARS ($50.00).

You should not assume that your use of the Site/Service will be error free or that the Site will operate without interruption or that any errors will be corrected. Certain countries or states do not allow the disclaimer of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability, so the above disclaimers and limitations/exclusions may not apply to you in their entirety.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Verizon Connect, its licensors and service providers (including each of their respective licensors, suppliers, assignees, subsidiaries, and affiliated companies, and their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents and representatives) harmless from and against any liability, loss, injury (including injuries resulting in death), demand, action, cost, expense, including legal fees, or claim of any kind, arising out of or in connection with any use or possession by you of the Service or Information. You are responsible for any tax arising from your use of or access to the Service and Information.

Choice of Law

The laws applicable in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall govern as to the interpretation, validity and effect of this Agreement without regard to any conflict of laws provisions. Your use of the Site or Service, or use of any Information provided to you, shall constitute your consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in any action or proceeding instituted under or related to this Agreement or the Site. Any action or claim brought shall be initiated and held exclusively in Boston, Massachusetts. The parties expressly disclaim the application of the United Nations Convention for Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the application of any law which seeks to implement UCITA.

Privacy Policy

Many areas of the Site do not require users to identify themselves or reveal any personal information. However, certain usage information which may include a user's IP address, the time and length of access, the pages viewed and the name of any site visited immediately prior to coming to the Site, may be collected and stored on an anonymous, aggregate basis. Verizon Connect does not consider IP addresses to constitute personally identifiable information since they are commonly utilized by proxy servers and thereby shared among multiple users, or are dynamically assigned to machines, and are not easily associated with a particular user. Any e-mail address configured in a user's Web browser may also be logged as part of the web server's automatic logging process. This information is primarily used to assess usage of, and develop ideas for improving, the Site. Verizon Connect does not currently request or obtain personally identifiable information from its business partners.

The Site may make use of "cookie" technology (which uses an identifier that is stored by Web browsers) to manage security on the Site and to customize the presentation of information to you.

Verizon Connect, Metro Media and/or the Media company through which you may order "Alerts" or "MyCommute" may use any personally identifiable information submitted by users or collected from use of the Site or Service, if any, to notify users of additional products and services about which they might be interested.

Verizon Connect will not, however, provide such information to any other companies for their independent use. Verizon Connect assumes no liability for Metro Media's or such Media company's use or storage of such information. Verizon Connect reserves the right to provide information collected from the Site or by the Service to other third parties, provided such information does not contain information sufficient to identify a particular user by name, address or other personally identifiable information. Notwithstanding anything else contained in these provisions, Verizon Connect reserves the right to disclose information collected if it believes in good faith that such disclosure is required by law, to comply with judicial process or to protect Verizon Connect's property or other interests. You may contact Verizon Connect at any time to review or correct any personally identifiable information which may have been collected by Verizon Connect.

User Information

To the extent that any area of the Site or component of the Service requires users to register, any information provided by you in the course of such registrations shall be true and accurate. You may not make any attempt to impersonate another person or to gain access to any Site or Service by unauthorized or improper means.

Other Terms

You represent and warrant that you are old enough and possess the legal right and ability to enter into this Agreement.

Verizon Connect reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to the Site and Service to any user or group of users for any or no reason at Verizon Connect's sole and absolute discretion.

These terms and conditions constitute the entire, complete, exclusive, and final agreement between Verizon Connect (and its licensors, including their respective licensors and suppliers) and you with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede in their entirety, any and all previous and contemporaneous written or oral agreements, proposals, understandings and other communications between the parties. If any provision contained herein is declared invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in effect. Other than through updated Terms of Use provided by Verizon Connect via its Website, this Agreement may be modified only by a writing that expressly refers to this Agreement and is signed by an authorized representative of Verizon Connect. No one below the position of Vice President or Corporate Counsel is authorized to bind Verizon Connect.

Eclipse Public License (EPL) for Wintellect's Power Collections for .NET

Version 1.0 - August 14th, 2007

THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS ECLIPSE PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

1. DEFINITIONS

"Contribution" means:

a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and documentation distributed under this Agreement, and

b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:

i) changes to the Program, and

ii) additions to the Program;

where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program.

"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program. "Licensed Patents" mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when combined with the Program.

"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement. "Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, including all Contributors.

2. GRANT OF RIGHTS

a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source code and object code form.

b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.

c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Program.

d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in this Agreement.

3. REQUIREMENTS

A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its own license agreement, provided that:

a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

b) its license agreement:

i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose;

ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;

iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and

iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange.

When the Program is made available in source code form:

a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and

b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.

Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the Program.

Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution.

4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION

Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense.

For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.

5. NO WARRANTY

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this Agreement , including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.

7. GENERAL

If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.

If Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this Agreement. The Eclipse Foundation is the initial Agreement Steward. The Eclipse Foundation may assign the responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The Program (including Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including its Contributions) under the new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to this Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.
