2. ELECTRONIC MATERIALS RESTRICTIONS.  The technological dissemination potential inherent in the electronic presentation of content requires special provisions to protect Martin Janello's copyright and other rights. ELECTRONIC MATERIALS MADE AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD MAY BE INVISIBLY AND/OR VISIBLY LABELED TO IDENTIFY THE LICENSEE OR THE LICENSE AND TRACE VIOLATIONS OF PERMISSIONS. All permissions regarding Electronic Materials herein shall only exist to the extent expressly granted, and to the extent they are granted, constitute revocable, nonexclusive, nonsublicenseable licenses that are limited to your personal, noncommercial use and are subject to restrictions and prohibitions as stated herein. You may view or listen to  any Electronic Materials on-line that the Site or licensed third party sites make publicly available without charge for viewing or listening on-line, without any restrictions regarding devices on which you may view or listen to such content on-line. All permissions for and upon download of Electronic Materials are limited to (a) personal computers, tablets, phones, and electronic reading devices, (“electronic viewing and listening devices”), you exclusively own and (b) electronic viewing and listening devices whose ownership you share with members of your domestic household, provided that you maintain exclusive control of access to partitions that contain downloaded Electronic Materials.

Martin Janello retains all rights not expressly granted herein. If you or any of the additional licensees violate any of the terms hereunder or any laws protecting Martin Janello’s rights, your rights and their rights under the license are automatically terminated, but your and their obligations and Martin Janello's rights continue.
