Humanistic Property License Agreement


I, __________________________ (hereafter referred to as Licensee) wish to
obtain a one-time limited-use license for Humanistic Property from

___________________________ (herafter referred to as Licensor), where said
license (hereafter referred to as License) for Humanistic Property comprises
the use of image data bearing the physical likeness of Licensor.

I understand that said image and data pertaining to said image, and any
expression or media containing said image or data is the property
of Licensor, and shall remain so indefinitely.

I further understand that this License permits me to acquire an electronic image
(hereafter referred to as Humanistic Property) bearing the likeness of Licensee
for the sole purpose of printing and providing Licensor with an identification
card, to become property of licensor.  I further agree that after issuing
Licensee said identification card, that I may not save or record in any manner
said Humanistic Property, or any portion thereof.

Furthermore, I assert that after a time period not to exceed five minutes after
said identification card is printed, that said identification card shall be
the sole record of said Humanistic Property, and that there shall be no other
record of said Humanistic Property, whether retained mechanically, optically,
electronically, or otherwise.  I understand that any such other record of
said Humanistic Property is stolen Humanistic Property.

I understand that my failing to permanently delete and erase all manner of said
Humanistic Property other than one copy printed on said identification card
shall constitute theft of said Humanistic Property.

I further understand that failing to permanently delete and erase all manner of
said Humanistic Property shall constitute an assignment of any material, media,
and image storage system, whether mechanical, optical, electronic, or otherwise,
that contains or contained stolen Humanistic Property, to Licensor.

I agree that said assignment of said material, media, and image storage system,
whether mechanical, optical, electronic, or otherwise, that contains stolen
Humanistic Property shall include, at Licensor's discretion, any components of
Licensee's computer system that Licensor wishes to sieze, including but not
limited to hard disk drives, backup tapes, storage media, and computer networks.
I assert that I have authority to make this assignment should stolen Humanistic
Property have passed through any of the computer networks of the organization(s)
of which I am a representative.

I further agree that the future existence of said stolen Humanistic Property
shall constitute proof of said theft, whether said stolen Humanistic Property
exists in any form within my organization or after transfer to another
organization or entity, and that said existence of said stolen Humanistic
Property shall be sufficient grounds for Licensor to sieze any and all
equipment which Licensee reasonably believes may contain or may have
contained, transmitted, transferred, or processed said stolen Humanistic
Property.

I further agree that damages alone would not necessarily compensate the
Licensor for relief and therefore the I agree upon the Licensor having
remedy of further injunctive relief.

I also warrant that I have authority to enter into this agreement, on
behalf of whatever organization might be using said Humanistic Property.
