10. BEYOND FAIR USE: Special Permission for Educators
El Museo recognizes that not every educational use qualifies for Fair Use or another legislative exemption. In order to further support the work of teachers and other educators, in accordance with our own charitable and educational mission, we therefore consent to the following additional uses of our Site:
a) Subject specifically to the rights of third parties (which are entirely the responsibility of the user), El Museo consents to the reproduction, distribution, display, transmission, performance and use of the Content and Compilation by individual teachers and other educators if done for the limited purpose of classroom or workshop instruction (including online instruction) in a school, El Museo or other educational organization; provided, however, said organization is a not-for-profit corporation and provided, further, that the Content and Compilation are not sold or otherwise commercially distributed. This provision does not apply to corporations who package, prepare, or sell educational materials for teachers and educators.
b) Unless otherwise noted on the Web page, no express permission is required by El Museo for a Limited Educational Exception, but two conditions apply: 1) No modifications may be made as to the integrity or attribution of the Content and Compilation; and 2) All copies of the Content and Compilation must bear accurate identifying information, including proprietary collection information, credit lines, copyright and trademark notices, and a citation to the Site: www.elmuseo.org
11. PRESS USE
El Museo provides a dedicated page on the Site for members of the press. Except where noted otherwise, photographs, images, press releases and articles that appear on these pages may be downloaded, reproduced and published (and in the case of text-based materials, translated) by members of the press for the sole purpose of creating or supporting timely news stories related to El Museo and the exhibitions, programs and events covered in the Press Materials in newspapers, magazines, Web publications, television or other media. Use of the Press Materials for any other purpose requires the additional, prior permission of El Museo and may also require the additional, prior permission of third-party rights holders, which permission is the sole responsibility of the press user. Press Materials may not be downloaded, reproduced, or published by commercial stock houses or archives under any circumstances.
To the extent you choose to use subsets of information from the Press Materials, you agree that your use will not compromise their original context, accuracy and integrity. Photographs and other images must be reproduced in their entirety; you may not crop or otherwise alter them.
All Press Materials must include the identifying information provided by El Museo, including proprietary collection information, credit lines, copyright and trademark notices, if any.
12. REQUESTING PERMISSION
If your proposed use of El Museo Trademarks or Content does not meet the conditions for Fair Use or another legislative exemption, Special Permission for Educators or Press Use, you must request and obtain express permission from El Museo. Please be advised that El Museo is selective in granting such permission, and when we do grant permission we generally impose a fee. All fees collected by El Museo are used to further El Museo's educational programs and not-for-profit mission.
13. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
All rights not expressly granted by El Museo herein are specifically and completely reserved. Nothing on the Site or in these Terms and Conditions of Use grants, expressly or implicitly, any right or license to use any content or property of any third party, or may be construed to mean that El Museo has authority to grant any right or license on behalf of any third party.
14. WARRANTY AND INDEMNIFICATION
By using this Site in any manner, you represent and warrant that your use will be consistent with the Terms and Conditions of Use, including Fair Use and the Limited Educational Exception noted.

15. SEVERANCE AND WAIVER
You acknowledge and agree that in the event any provision of these Terms and Conditions of Use shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, in any respect, the validity, legality, and/or enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. In such event, the parties agree that any such invalid term or condition shall be validly conformed by the court to as nearly as possible approximate the intent of the parties as reflected in the provision, and if not able to be so conformed, shall be severed and deleted from these Terms and Conditions of Use. El Museo's failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms and Conditions of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless agreed to in writing by El Museo.
16. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
These Terms and Conditions of Use are the complete statement of the agreement of the parties with respect to the subject hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties hereto with respect to the subject hereof.
