THIS MEMBER AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is between you and Broker Alliance Network, Inc. d/b/a IC Source ("IC Source"), with a mailing address at P. O. Box 5166, Saratoga Springs, New York 12866. You and IC Source are each sometimes referred to in this Agreement as a "party", and collectively as the "parties". You and IC Source hereby agree as follows:

1. Acceptance.
The IC Source Site is not open to the public and may only be accessed by those approved members who agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and pay a membership fee. You acknowledge that you have read these terms and conditions of use and that you accept the terms hereof. YOU AGREE TO READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS IC SOURCE WEB SITE. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions of use, you may not access or otherwise use this IC Source Site. Upon your review and acceptance of these terms and conditions, IC Source will review your application for membership, and if approved, will forward to you by email a user name and password authorizing you to use the IC Source Site.

2. Use of Materials Collected.
IC Source may monitor your use of this IC Source Site, and may freely use and disclose any information and materials received from you or collected through your use of the IC Source Site for any lawful reason or purpose.

3. Export Control
The IC Source site has been established as a marketplace for buyers and sellers of electronics components to communicate with each other. IC Source does not participate either as a buyer or seller in any sales transactions that may occur as a result of this communication, and is not responsible for and does not warrant the accuracy of technical information (such as specifications, performance characteristics, composition, etc.) regarding hardware or technical data available for sale on the IC Source site. BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU HEREBY CERTIFY THAT YOU WILL NOT SELL, TRANSFER, EXPORT, OR RE-EXPORT HARDWARE OR TECHNICAL DATA (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, INFORMATION IN THE FORM OF BLUEPRINTS, DRAWINGS, PHOTOGRAPHS, INSTRUCTIONS AND DOCUMENTATION) OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE IC SOURCE SITE IN VIOLATION OF THE EXPORT LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES. For purposes of this clause the term “export” includes any transfer of technical data as defined herein to a person who is not a citizen or permanent resident alien of the United States. Specifically, you understand that such sale, transfer, export or re-export may require a license from the U.S. Government and that transfers to certain countries or entities are prohibited under U.S. law. Under no circumstances may any hardware or technical data available for sale on the IC Source site be exported, re-exported, or otherwise transferred to (or to a national resident of) countries under U.S. economic embargo including the following: Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria. Moreover, under no circumstances may any hardware or technical data available for sale on the IC Source site be exported, re-exported, or otherwise transferred to persons or entities listed on the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Persons List, Unverified List, or Entity List, the U.S. Department of State Debarred List, or the U.S. Department of Treasury Specially Designated Nationals List. Links to these lists may be found at http://2016.export.gov/ecr/eg_main_023148.asp.

Additionally, by acceptance of this agreement, you hereby certify that hardware or technical data available for sale on the IC Source site will not be used by you or any party to a sale in terrorist or nuclear activities, or in the design, development, or production of military or defense articles controlled on the U.S. Munitions List (22 CFR Part 121), or for the manufacture of devices that are used in any manner in the design, development or production of missiles, weapons of mass destruction, chemical or biological weapons, satellites, rocket systems, unmanned air vehicles, foreign vessels or aircraft. You hereby agree that the following destination control statement will appear on the invoice and on the bill of lading, air waybill, or other export control document that accompanies the shipment from its point of origin in the United States to any ultimate consignee or end-user abroad:

“These commodities, technology or software were exported from the United States in accordance with the Export Administration Regulations. Diversion contrary to U.S. law is prohibited.”

At its sole discretion, IC Source may provide its members with a suggested commodity classification (either a specific Export Control Classification Number (“ECCN”) from the Bureau of Industry & Security’s (“BIS”) Commerce Control List, or “EAR99”) that IC Source believes may apply to hardware or technical data available on the IC Source site. However, in the absence of an official commodity classification opinion from BIS, any commodity classification provided by IC Source in this manner (including an opinion, whether express or implied, that a particular item is classified as “EAR99”) is understood by you to be a nonbinding opinion provided for informational purposes only - you retain sole legal responsibility for ensuring compliance with all applicable U.S. laws governing the export transaction. By acceptance of this agreement, therefore, you agree to hold IC Source harmless against any claim, demand, action, proceeding, judgment, penalty, fine, loss, liability, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of or relating to your use of any commodity classification (including “EAR99”) provided by IC Source in the transfer, export, or re-export of hardware or technical data obtained through the use of the IC Source site.

As IC Source will rely on your understanding and acceptance of sole responsibility for ensuring compliance with all applicable U.S. laws governing the export of any hardware or technical data provided or obtained through the use of the IC Source site, you agree to indemnify IC Source against any claim, demand, action, proceeding, judgment, penalty, fine, loss, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) suffered or incurred by IC Source arising out of or relating to representations made and obligations assumed by you pursuant to this certification.

4. Changes to this Member Agreement.
IC Source reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove any portion of this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time. You agree to review the terms periodically to be aware of such changes. If any change is unacceptable to you, you may terminate your membership as provided in Section 7 below. Your continued use of the site following the effective date of any such change to the terms constitutes acceptance of all such changes. You agree and understand that we reserve the right to unilaterally terminate your access privileges or otherwise deny you access to the IC Source Site if you decline to be bound by any proposed modifications to this Agreement, subject to your rights under paragraph 6 of this Agreement.

Confidential Information shall not apply to any information that you can establish is in the public domain (and did not fall into the public domain as a result of your violation of law, or breach of this Agreement or any other confidentiality agreement), or was in your possession before you gained access to it at the IC Source Site, or was received from a third party who was in lawful possession of it without any confidentiality restrictions. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent you from disclosing information obtained at the IC Source Site if compelled to do so by a court of law or government agency, on condition that you provide advance notice to IC Source and allow IC Source a reasonable opportunity to intervene in the proceeding to protect the confidentiality of the information.

7. Continuity of Service; Termination.
IC Source may change, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the IC Source Site at any time, including the availability of any IC Source Site feature, database or content. IC Source may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict your access to parts or all of the IC Source Site without notice or liability. We may, in our sole discretion and without any prior notice, close the IC Source Site or deny you access to it and delete any files that you may maintain at the IC Source Site and any information that you may choose to post here. You should keep a copy of any material that you post to the IC Source Site because we will not undertake to retain copies of any material that we or others may delete from the IC Source Site. This Agreement shall continue in force until IC Source discontinues providing services on the IC Source Site or until either IC Source or you terminates your membership. Upon termination of your membership, all your rights to use the IC Source Site will terminate. Either you or IC Source may terminate your membership for convenience at any time for any reason or for no reason. Upon such termination by IC Source, IC Source shall refund to you a pro rata portion of the membership fee you paid for your current membership term, based on the number of months remaining in the term following the month during which the termination occurs. Upon such termination by you, IC Source shall refund to you a pro rata portion of the membership fee you paid for your current membership term, based on the number of months remaining in the term following the month during which the termination occurs, less a cancellation fee of three months service (based on your current membership rates). If this Agreement terminates or your access to the IC Source Site is suspended, you shall continue to be bound by all obligations set forth in this Agreement for a period of five (5) years or until the expiration of all applicable statute of limitations periods, whichever is longer. You will not be bound by any modifications to this Agreement that may take effect after you or IC Source terminates our contractual relationship.
