VIII.2. PDF PUBLICATIONS--SEPARATE AGREEMENTS

If You download PDF Publications from Our Websites, the PDF Publications and Your use of the PDF Publications may be governed by a Separate Agreement entered into between You and TGP. If a Separate Agreement is in place, Your access to and use of the PDF Publications is governed by the terms and conditions contained in such Separate Agreement, and not by these Terms of Use. At any time that a Separate Agreement is not in place with respect to Your use of the PDF Publications, the provisions of these Terms of Use, including these PDF Publication Terms, govern Your use of the PDF Publications. To the extent that the provisions of any Separate Agreement are in conflict with any of the provisions of these Terms of Use, the provisions of the Separate Agreement shall govern and control Your use and termination of use of such PDF Publications.

VIII.3. PDF PUBLICATIONS--LICENSE FEE

You agree to pay the license fee designated for Your PDF Publications at the time of placing Your order for them. We use a third-party service provider to process credit card payments. You agree to provide true, accurate and correct information regarding Your identity and credit card to the third-party service provider. If Your credit card payment is invalidated for any reason, You agree to provide Us with an alternate means of payment promptly upon Our request.

VIII.4. PDF PUBLICATIONS--DELIVERY IN A TANGIBLE MEDIUM

Unless otherwise provided in a Separate Agreement, if a PDF Publication You have ordered is to be delivered to You in a physical medium, such as a compact disk or USB drive, the provisions of Section VII.4 of these Terms of Use that apply to Hardcopy Publications will also apply to shipment, delivery and return of such PDF Publication as if it were a Hardcopy Publication.

Subject to Your compliance with all provisions of these Terms of Use, We grant You a personal, nontransferable, and nonexclusive license to use the PDF Publications solely on or in conjunction with computers and other devices that are accessible by and operated by Your authorized employees located within the United States of America (excluding its territories and possessions) and Canada, and solely for Your internal business purposes; provided, however, that only one (1) user may access and use any particular PDF Publication at any given time;
If not earlier terminated, as provided in the next succeeding sentence in this Section VIII.5.c, Your rights granted under Section VIII.5.b, above, with respect to each of the PDF Publications will terminate eighteen (18) calendar months after the date on which You first gained access to the PDF Publication. Nevertheless, We may terminate Your right to use all or any of the PDF Publications granted under Section VIII.5.b, above, at any time for any reason, with or without cause, by providing You with at least one (1) day prior written notice of such termination. Upon any such termination, We will refund You a proportionate amount (representing the time left on the license) of the license fees You paid for each of such terminated PDF Publications within thirty (30) days after the date of such termination. Upon any termination or expiration of Your right to use any PDF Publication, You shall immediately discontinue Your use of such PDF Publication, and, at Our option, return to Us or destroy all copies of such PDF Publication. Any such notice of termination or expiration of Your rights under Section VIII.5.b, above, shall not prejudice either Your or Our rights to any license fees or other sums due and shall not prejudice any cause of action or claim of such party accrued or to accrue on account of any breach or default by the other party. If You continue to use any PDF Publication after Your right to use it has terminated or expired, and in addition to any other remedies We may have, We may charge You and You agree to pay Our customary license fees for use of the PDF Publication, as reasonably determined by Us;
You shall not use any PDF Publication in a time-sharing service or a service-bureau operation or in or with any internal network or the Internet without Our express prior written consent;
You shall not, nor shall You suffer or permit any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, to use, sell, lease, disclose, perform, display, use, grant access to, assign, distribute, license, sublicense, transfer, dispose of, or otherwise exploit any PDF Publication, or any portion thereof, in any manner or to any person or entity, except as expressly authorized in these Terms of Use;

We are not required to furnish You or any other party with any assistance or support of any kind whatsoever related to the PDF Publications, and all expenses incurred in Your use of the PDF Publications will be borne solely by You.
We may exercise all rights incident and related to ownership of the PDF Publications. We have the sole right to make, hold, use, sell, lease, disclose, manufacture, reproduce, duplicate, copy, display, perform, distribute, import, export, transfer, license, sublicense, assign, make derivative works from, and otherwise exploit the PDF Publications, any related products and services, and any portion of any of them, throughout the world for any and all purposes and with respect to Us, Our affiliates, and any and all other persons and entities.
You agree that You will hold all parts and contents of any PDF Publication that You have accessed in confidence for Us. You will take all reasonable steps necessary to protect the PDF Publications and all data and other information related thereto. Such steps will include protection at least equivalent to that You afford Your own confidential and proprietary information.

VIII.6. PDF PUBLICATIONS--AMENDMENT OF TERMS OF USE

Notwithstanding any provision of these Terms of Use to the contrary, if these Terms of Use (including the PDF Publication Terms) are amended by Us, as provided in these Terms of Use, after You have accessed or downloaded any PDF Publication, such amendment will not apply to Your use of such PDF Publication. The Terms of Use in effect when You first accessed or downloaded the PDF Publication, without such amendment, will continue to govern Your use of such PDF Publication. Nevertheless, the Terms of Use, as amended, will govern Your use of Our Websites and all other aspects of the Services.

Any provision of these Terms of Use which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be severable from these Terms of Use in that jurisdiction without in any way invalidating the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use. The unenforceability of any provision in a given jurisdiction shall not make that provision unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.

These Terms of Use will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and each of their respective assigns and successors-in-interest. We may assign Our rights or delegate Our duties under these Terms of Use, but You may not assign Your rights or delegate Your duties under these Terms of Use without Our prior written consent.

The captions and headings in this Agreement will not be used in interpreting these Terms of Use. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy will impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.

X.15. ARBITRATION

Excluding legal action taken by Us at Our option to obtain an injunction or other equitable relief to prevent the improper appropriation, disclosure, or other misuse of Our intellectual property rights, the Services, and/or Our Websites, the exclusive method for resolving any controversy, dispute or claim arising from or related to these Terms of Use, Our Websites, or the Services, including the construction and scope of these Terms of Use, shall be by arbitration before a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association (“Association”) then in effect. Any such controversy, dispute or claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated with any arbitration regarding any claim, dispute or controversy of any other party. Within ten (10) days after the filing of any request to arbitrate, the parties will each select an arbitrator, and the selected arbitrators will select the Arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the date of such filing. If either party refuses or fails to select an arbitrator within the designated time period, the Association will select the arbitrator on behalf of such party. If the arbitrators selected by the parties refuse or fail to select the Arbitrator within the designated time period, then on the request of any party, the Association will select the Arbitrator. Each of the selected arbitrators and the finally appointed Arbitrator will be recognized by the Association as a legal expert in the field of business practices in the automotive industry. The parties hereby irrevocably agree that the arbitration will be held within the County of Palm Beach, Broward, or Miami-Dade, State of Florida, USA, and will apply the laws of the State of Florida (without regard to their conflicts of law principles). The Arbitrator may award any and all remedies and relief deemed appropriate under the circumstances, including money damages and injunctive relief. If any party fails to provide any response or to appear at any arbitration proceeding, the Arbitrator will proceed with the arbitration without such response or appearance. At the conclusion of the arbitration, the Arbitrator will issue a written award containing essential findings of fact and reasoned opinions and conclusions on which the award is based. The final award rendered by the Arbitrator will be binding, final and non-appealable. Judgment upon any arbitration may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof. The costs of arbitration and the Arbitrator's fees in connection with any such arbitration will be shared equally by the parties unless the Arbitrator determines that the party or parties prevailing in the arbitration shall bear a lesser portion thereof. This arbitration provision will be deemed to be self-executing and will remain in full force and effect after the expiration or termination of these Terms of Use, Our Websites, and/or the Services. Except as may be required by applicable law, no party, arbitrator, Arbitrator, or the Association will disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the express prior written consent of both You and Us. Notwithstanding the above, any party may bring an action in any court of proper jurisdiction with respect to any claim having a reasonable value of U.S. $5,000.00 or less, without considering attorneys fees and other costs.
