conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, do not download,

1. License Grant. Subject to receipt by NREL of any required DOE approvals, NREL grants you,
and you hereby accept, a non-exclusive, royalty-free revocable license to download, display, use and
copy the image selected by you and provided by NREL (collectively, the "Image"), subject to the
following terms and conditions:
(a) You may use the Image in any media for any purpose except pornographic, defamatory, libelous

does not advance the educational or scientific mission of NREL.
2. U.S. Government Rights. The Image was developed under funding from the DOE and the U.S.
Government consequently retains certain rights as follows: the U.S. Government has been granted for
itself and others acting on its behalf a paid-up, nonexclusive, irrevocable, worldwide license in
the Image to reproduce and display publicly. The U.S. Government is granted for itself and others
acting on its behalf a paid-up, nonexclusive, irrevocable, worldwide license to reproduce, prepare

accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of the Image, and (3) do not represent that use of the Image
would not infringe privately owned rights. Reference herein to any specific commercial product,
process, or service by its trade name, trademark, manufacturer, or otherwise, does not necessarily

consequential, special or punitive damages of any kind or nature, including but not limited to loss

Agreement shall immediately terminate. Upon any such termination, you shall immediately cease using
the Image, return it, and all copies to NREL, or destroy, all copies of the Image, and provide NREL
with written certification of your compliance with the foregoing. Termination shall not relieve you
from your obligations arising prior to such termination. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, Sections 3 through 8 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(if any) with respect to the export, re-export, diversion or transfer of the Image, related

from the United States, including without limitation the Image and related technical data, may
require some form of export control license from the U.S. Government and, pursuant to U.S. laws, and
