Game under the Trademarks only to the following parties:
[A] INDIVIDUALS: Individuals are encouraged to share and give
copies of the Game to friends, family, co-workers, and members

(without appropriate irrevocable licenses) any trademarks, copyright
protected work, or other property of third parties.

any online description, and other appropriate places) the name and
address of its creators, and the fact the level has not been reviewed

[D] The level and any use of it must be offered solely for free (other than
any incidental online charges).
[E] By distributing or permitting the distribution of any level, all owners
of any trademark, copyright or other right, title or interest therein
(to the extent it is different from the Game as originally distributed
by Apogee) grant back to Apogee an irrevocable royalty free right to
distribute the level.
[6] TERM: Unless terminated for cause, grants under this LICENSE.DOC terminate
30 days after receipt of written notice, or such longer period as the
notice may provide. Sections [2], [7], and [8] survive termination.

remedies with respect to breaches of such sections, in addition to such
other remedies as we may have.

employees and agents harmless from damage, loss and expense arising
directly or indirectly from your acts and omissions in copying and

exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts
sitting in Dallas, Texas, and to service by certified mail, return
