IPCopper grants User this limited ability to generate temporary modules solely for the purposes of facilitating the establishment of new LPN memberships and associated licenses for User’s own purposes or to assist others in establishing temporary membership(s), if accepted by IPCopper. User hereby agrees to not modify, alter or create derivations of said temporary modules. Any temporary modules shall be governed by this License and these Licensing Terms and shall be valid for a limited period of time (“Temporary Module Time Period”), as determined by IPCopper at the time of temporary module generation.

Temporary modules are provided AS IS and WHERE IS with no warranties expressed or implied and no guarantee that the temporary module(s) would function or suit User’s or anyone else’s purposes or that any associated temporary memberships would be granted to anybody. In the event no non-temporary LPN Membership is applied for and granted prior to expiration of the Temporary Module Time Period, the temporary module shall expire, become invalid and cease functioning.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. User hereby agrees that the limitations of liability referenced herein are reasonable and necessary and acknowledges that without these limitations of warranty and liability User’s fees and charges for the License, Application(s), Services and Information would be substantially higher or the License, Application(s), Services and Information would not be available at all.
