5. Special Provisions Applicable to Resellers.
123PhotoAlbum.com from time to time may offer reseller programs which
will permit Customers to resell certain of 123PhotoAlbum.com's products
and services, and be eligible for certain discounts, services and
other promotions. A Customer that participates in a reseller program
is referred to herein as a "Reseller". To be eligible
to participate in a reseller program, the Reseller may be required
to meet certain requirements as provided in such reseller program.
If you are a Reseller, the terms and conditions in this section
(in addition to any terms or conditions contained in the reseller
program) are applicable to you.
As a Reseller, you are 123PhotoAlbum.com's Customer. A Reseller shall
be deemed, and is the "Customer" for all purposes under
this Agreement and the Usage Policy. When you resell the Services,
the purchaser of those resold services becomes your customer (a
"Reseller Customer"). A Reseller Customer is not a Customer
of 123PhotoAlbum.com, and 123PhotoAlbum.com will not support any Reseller Customer.
Reseller shall take all necessary measures to preclude 123PhotoAlbum.com
from being made a party to any agreement with any Reseller Customer.
As a Reseller, you are authorized to resell the Services identified
in the applicable reseller program on a non-exclusive basis. 123PhotoAlbum.com
reserves the right to market and sell its products and services
through its own employees, other resellers and other representatives
and retailers that may compete with you. The terms and conditions
of such other relationships may differ from the terms of this Agreement
and the reseller program, and may be better. Reseller shall be responsible
for billing, and collecting payments from, Reseller Customers. Reseller
shall not withhold payments to 123PhotoAlbum.com under this Agreement
because of a failure of a Reseller Customer to make payments to
Reseller. Reseller may set the prices to be paid to it by Reseller
Customers for any of the resold Services. Reseller shall provide
all support (including, without limitation, customer support, first
level support, second level support, and other technical support)
for Reseller Customers. Reseller shall pay all sales, use, transfer,
privilege, excise or other taxes and all duties, whether international,
state or local, however designated, which are levied or imposed
on 123PhotoAlbum.com and Reseller under this Agreement and any and all
transactions between Reseller and Reseller Customers. Reseller shall
not resell the Services under 123PhotoAlbum.com's brand name. Reseller
shall be solely responsible for compliance with any regulations
governing the export of the Services (or any portion thereof). Nothing
in this Agreement constitutes a license to Reseller to use or resell
the Marks (as defined below).
6. 123PhotoAlbum.com as Reseller or Licensor.
123PhotoAlbum.com is acting only as a reseller or licensor of the hardware,
software and equipment used in connection with the products and/or
Services that were or are manufactured or provided by a third party
("Non-123PhotoAlbum.com Product"). 123PhotoAlbum.com shall not be
responsible for any changes in the Services that cause the Non-123PhotoAlbum.com
Product to become obsolete, require modification or alteration,
or otherwise affect the performance of the Services. Any malfunction
or manufacturer's defects of Non-123PhotoAlbum.com Product either sold,
licensed or provided by 123PhotoAlbum.com to Customer or purchased directly
by Customer used in connection with the Services will not be deemed
a breach of 123PhotoAlbum.com's obligations under this Agreement. Any
rights or remedies Customer may have regarding the ownership, licensing,
performance or compliance of Non-123PhotoAlbum.com Product are limited
to those rights extended to Customer by the manufacturer of such
Non-123PhotoAlbum.com Product. Customer is entitled to use any Non-123PhotoAlbum.com
Product supplied by 123PhotoAlbum.com only in connection with Customer's
permitted use of the Services. Customer shall use its best efforts
to protect and keep confidential all intellectual property provided
by 123PhotoAlbum.com to Customer through any Non-123PhotoAlbum.com Product and
shall make no attempt to copy, alter, reverse engineer, or tamper
with such intellectual property or to use it other than in connection
with the Services. Customer shall not resell, transfer, export or
re-export any Non-123PhotoAlbum.com Product, or any technical data derived
therefrom, in violation of any applicable United States or foreign
law.
7. IP Address Ownership.
If 123PhotoAlbum.com assigns Customer an Internet Protocol address for
Customer's use, the right to use that Internet Protocol address
shall belong only to 123PhotoAlbum.com, and Customer shall have no right
to use that Internet Protocol address except as permitted by 123PhotoAlbum.com
in its sole discretion in connection with the Services, during the
term of this Agreement. 123PhotoAlbum.com shall maintain and control ownership
of all Internet Protocol numbers and addresses that may be assigned
to Customer by 123PhotoAlbum.com, and 123PhotoAlbum.com reserves the right to
change or remove any and all such Internet Protocol numbers and
addresses, in its sole and absolute discretion.
8. Caching.
Customer expressly (i) grants to 123PhotoAlbum.com a license to cache
the entirety of the Customer Content and Customer's web site, including

Agreement and (ii) agrees that such caching is not an infringement
of any of Customer's intellectual property rights or any third party's
intellectual property rights.

Customer agrees that Customer shall not use excessive amounts of
CPU processing on any of 123PhotoAlbum.com's servers. Any violation of

of any and all Services, or termination of this Agreement, which
actions may be taken in 123PhotoAlbum.com's sole and absolute discretion.
If 123PhotoAlbum.com takes any corrective action under this section, Customer
shall not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid in advance prior
to such action.
10. Bandwidth and Disk Usage.
Customer agrees that bandwidth and disk usage shall not exceed the
number of megabytes per month for the Services ordered by Customer
on the Order Form (the "Agreed Usage"). 123PhotoAlbum.com will
monitor Customer's bandwidth and disk usage. 123PhotoAlbum.com shall have
the right to take corrective action if Customer's bandwidth or disk
usage exceeds the Agreed Usage. Such corrective action may include
the assessment of additional charges, disconnection or discontinuance
of any and all Services, or termination of this Agreement, which
actions may be taken in 123PhotoAlbum.com's sole and absolute discretion.
If 123PhotoAlbum.com takes any corrective action under this section, Customer
shall not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid in advance prior
to such action.

123PhotoAlbum.com owns all right, title and interest in and to the Services
and 123PhotoAlbum.com's trade names, trademarks, service marks, inventions,
copyrights, trade secrets, patents, know-how and other intellectual
property rights relating to the design, function, marketing, promotion,
sale and provision of the Services and the related hardware, software

a license to Customer to use or resell the Marks.

and maintenance of Customer's web site, online store and e-commerce
activities, for all products and services offered by Customer or
