Restricted Usage

1. No Unlawful Use. You may not use content in a defamatory, pornographic or other unlawful manner.

3. No Use in Trademark or Logo. You may not use content as part of a trademark, design mark, tradename, business name, service mark, or logo.
4. No removal of, or cropping out Watermark logos. The IPRF and other National Precision Rifle Associations/Federation logos may not be removed from the images provided.
5. Sensitive Use. You may not use our images in connection with a subject that would be unflattering or unduly controversial to a reasonable person (for example, enticement of violence, or para-military training, etc)
   No disclaimer is required for “editorial use only” content that is used in an editorial manner.
6. No Products for Resale. You may not use content in connection with any goods or services intended for resale or distribution where the primary value lies in the content itself including, without limitation, cards, stationery items, paper products, calendars, apparel items, posters (printed on paper, canvas, or any other media), CDs, DVDs, mobile applications or other items for resale, license or other distribution for profit.  This includes “on demand” products (meaning products in which content is selected by a third party for customization on such product on a made-to-order basis), including, without limitation, postcards, mugs, t-shirts, posters and other items (this includes the sale of products through custom designed websites, as well as sites such as zazzle.com and cafepress.com)

8. No False Representation of Authorship. You may not falsely represent that you are the original creator of a work that is made up largely of licensed content. For instance, you cannot create a painting or deviation/manipulation based on licensed content and claim that you are the author.

Termination/Cancellation/Withdrawal

1. Termination.
   This agreement is effective until it is terminated by either party. You can terminate this agreement by ceasing use of the content and deleting or destroying any copies.
