The following terms and conditions apply to your use of all images from BNL.</p> <p>These terms constitute a binding agreement (“Agreement”) between you and BNL. If you are entering into this Agreement on your employer's behalf, this Agreement applies both to your employer and to you. By obtaining any image(s) from BNL directly or via BNL's website (www.bnl.gov), you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you choose not to be bound, do not use BNL images.</p> <h3>Use of Images</h3> <p>“Images” means all images and related informational materials in any medium furnished by BNL hereunder, including related text, captions, or information.</p> <p>Images obtained from BNL are licensed on a non-transferable, one-time, non-exclusive basis.</p> <h3>License Granted by BNL</h3> <p>Unless otherwise specified in a separate writing signed by BNL, your reproduction of images is limited to the specific use described in your request to use the image, which together with these terms shall constitute the full license granted. Any license granted by BNL is conditioned upon your meeting all conditions and restrictions imposed by BNL.

You shall assume that no model or property releases, or other releases or licenses exist in connection with any of the images, unless specifically stated in a separate writing by BNL. BNL makes no representations or warranties that it owns or licenses any rights nor does BNL grant you any rights including copyright, trademarks, or rights of publicity belonging to any person, place, property, or subject matter depicted in any image. Further, BNL makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any information provided with the images.

You are solely responsible for the use of any image in combination with any other material, and you agree not to use images with sensitive topics without BNL's separate written agreement. Sensitive topics include, without limitation, topics that may depict the subject matter of an image in a negative or unfavorable light or subject persons to ridicule, and topics regarding all sexual issues, substance abuse, physical or mental abuse, alcohol, drugs, tobacco, AIDS, cancer, or serious physical or mental ailments, or the disparagement of a person or product.
