Grant of License. XML Team hereby grants FOD Member a limited, non-exclusive license to retrieve the Content in order to store, format, and display the Content solely for the purposes and in the manner set forth herein. FOD Member may format the Content, including, but not limited to, displaying portions of the Content online, adapting the Content for wireless and/or audio devices and otherwise modifying the "look-and-feel" and layout of the Content. In all cases, FOD Member agrees that it shall strictly maintain the editorial integrity of the Content. XML Team grants archive rights to FOD Member to archive and use the Content while FOD Member is a member of FlexSport On Demand with an up-to-date profile detailing its contact information and its usage of the Content, and not in breach of any of its contractual obligations to XML Team.

In the event that FOD Member believes that an item of Content it has purchased contains an inaccuracy, and XML Team has not made available a freely downloadable revision of that item of Content which does not contain the claimed inaccuracy, FOD Member may apply to have the Credit(s) it used to purchase the item of Content reinstated to its account by posting a request via XML Team's online technical support system. Requests for Credit reinstatements must be accompanied by the unique identification code for the document which FOD Member claims contained an inaccuracy, and either a detailed description of the claimed inaccuracy or the unique identification code of another document made available by XML Team that has corrected the claimed inaccuracy.
