Definitions
PMOL contains two types of content:

1. "PMOL's Own Content" means information entered into PMOL by employees and authorised representatives of PM.
2. "Other Content" means any other information entered into PMOL by Users or other persons.

Use of PMOL

PM hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use PMOL for the fees and under the terms described in this Agreement. Only one person at a time may access PMOL using the User's screen name and password without the prior consent of PM. The User may, free of charge and on an occasional basis, make up to 10 copies in paper form of an individual article appearing in PMOL for non-commercial use provided the User includes all copyright and other proprietary rights notices that appeared on the original and includes a notice indicating that PMOL is the source of the material. For all other hard copy uses please contact the Permission Department (Tel: +65 6297 5872; Fax: +65 6297 5873; Email: jr@lighthousemedia.com.sg) for information or instructions. Fees are determined by the extent of use. The User may not disseminate any portion of PMOL through electronic means, including mail lists or electronic bulletin boards, without the prior consent of PM. Consent for special arrangements regarding electronic distribution may be obtained from PM by contacting Justin Randles.

Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, PMOL may not be reproduced, transmitted, or distributed without PM's permission. The User may not commingle any portion of PMOL with any other information and shall not edit, modify, or alter any portion. All of PMOL'S Own Content is either the property of Lighthouse Independent Media. ("Lighthouse") or is licensed to Lighthouse. The User shall honor all reasonable requests by PM to protect PM's proprietary interests in PMOL.

The User's Content

Users entering material into PMOL are responsible for the content of that material. Neither PM nor Lighthouse has any responsibility for Other Content, including the content of any messages or information posted by Users or others, or for the content of information accessible via direct or indirect hyperlinks from PMOL. However, PM retains the right, which it may or may not exercise in its sole discretion, to review, edit, or delete Other Content which PM deems to be illegal, offensive, or otherwise inappropriate.

You may not input or distribute any material through PMOL that is promotional in nature, including solicitations for funds or business, without the prior written authorization of PM.

The User agrees to indemnify PM and Lighthouse from all damages, liabilities, costs, charges and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, which MM, Lighthouse, their affiliates, employees, and authorized representatives may incur as a result of either: (i) the User's breach of this Agreement; or (ii) material entered into PMOL with the use of the User's screen name or password. PM reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any such matter for which the User has agreed to indemnify PM and Lighthouse in which event the User shall have no further obligation to indemnify with respect to that particular matter.
