USAGE OF STAR POWER'S DESIGNATIONS, SERVICEMARKS AND/OR TRADEMARKS
1. This Agreement. Under this license Agreement (“Agreement”) between STAR POWER Systems (“STAR POWER”) and me, and upon my acceptance of these Terms and Conditions, STAR POWER grants to me a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-assignable, royalty-free, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the STAR POWER Club-or, if selected as such, STAR POWER Star-designations (collectively referred to herein as the “Marks”). I understand that misrepresentation or omission of facts is cause for denial or revocation of the right to use the Marks. I further understand that I may not use any of the Marks until I receive official notification of my authorization to do so by STAR POWER. I affirm that I have read, understand, and voluntarily agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth below.
2. Ownership of the Marks. I understand that Marks are owned and registered by STAR POWER and STAR POWER maintains full authority over the authorization to use the Marks.
3. Authorization. Subject to the terms and conditions outlined in this Agreement, STAR POWER grants to me a limited, personal, non_transferable, non_assignable, royalty_free, nonexclusive, revocable license to use STAR POWER's Marks in connection with advertising, through any media, my STAR POWER association only. No other rights are granted except for those explicitly granted herein.
4. Term of Use. Permission to use the Marks exists solely for the authorization period, as defined by STAR POWER, or for the term of my STAR POWER Club Membership, as defined by STAR POWER. At the end of such authorization period, or if STAR POWER otherwise revokes this license, the authorization expires, all rights to use the STAR POWER's Marks terminate, and I must immediately cease use of any and all Marks previously granted to me. STAR POWER may terminate any rights I have in the use of the Marks as provided in this Agreement.

Without limiting the other terms and restrictions set forth in this Agreement, and unless otherwise approved by STAR POWER in writing, I will not, directly or indirectly: (i) use the Marks in conjunction with the sale or promotion of any tangible goods, (ii) state or imply that STAR POWER has made a determination on the merits or quality of any services I may render, (iii) license individuals to use the Marks, (iv) use the Marks in a manner that implies another individual or company is qualified to use the Marks, (v) use the Marks in violation of STAR POWER's current or future policies and procedures, or (vi) use the Marks for purposes other than to publicize my STAR POWER Club membership, or status as a STAR POWER Star. I understand that the designation is personal to me and that I may not imply that my brokerage or company is certified by STAR POWER.
6. Other STAR POWER Trademarks. I understand the right to use STAR POWER's Marks is limited to those referenced herein and does not extend to any other of STAR POWER's Marks. I will only display or use the Marks in the manner permitted by STAR POWER.
7. Compliance with STAR POWER Standards, Rules and Policies. I have read, understand, and will comply with all rules and policies contained in STAR POWER's materials and those posted on the STAR POWER's website, all of which are incorporated herein by reference, as they presently exist and as they may be amended from time to time.
8. Revocation of Right to Use. STAR POWER retains the absolute and unrestricted right to revoke, at its sole discretion, any rights I have to use any Marks, if STAR POWER finds that I have failed to comply with the STAR POWER's Rules, Standards, Policies or Procedures or the terms and conditions outlined in this Agreement. In addition, if STAR POWER, in its sole discretion, determines that I have misused the Marks, have acted in a manner unbecoming a STAR POWER Club member or STAR POWER Star, used the Marks in a manner that reflects poorly on STAR POWER, violated any law or regulation, I agree I will immediately cease use of the Marks, change the manner in which I use the Marks as determined by STAR POWER, or comply with any other remedy STAR POWER deems appropriate for the circumstances. Failure to respond to inquiries, notices, or investigations initiated by STAR POWER or its assigned agent(s) may result in termination of any rights I have in the use of the Marks.
9. Quality of Services. I agree that STAR POWER may monitor the provision of services provided by me in association with the Marks and that, in the event that STAR POWER determines that the quality of those services does not meet STAR POWER's standards, as it determines in its sole discretion, STAR POWER may terminate this license to use the Marks. Upon termination of this license, I shall immediately cease to use or display any of the Marks for any purpose whatsoever.
10. Indemnification. Neither STAR POWER nor its directors, officers, employees, or others acting on its behalf shall be liable to me for any actions taken or omitted in an official capacity or in the scope of employment, except to the extent that such actions or omissions constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence, and I hereby release STAR POWER and the persons identified above from any liability for any such actions or omissions.

No waiver shall be deemed by any course of conduct or acquiescence and shall not be enforceable against STAR POWER unless in writing, signed by STAR POWER, and shall be limited solely to the one event.
17. Enforcement. If I do not cease use of any and all Marks immediately upon revocation, relinquishment, or termination, or I violate the provisions of this Agreement, such action shall be considered exceptional, and I will pay any expenses STAR POWER may incur while enforcing this provision, including, but not limited to, attorney's fees.
18. Choice of Law; Forum. This Agreement and any action relating thereto shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.
