At EDailyNews's sole discretion, certain Charities
may be granted use of the Service in any

qualified applicants should complete this
form and submit to EDailyNews for review. An

You may not modify any of the Links, in whole

the Links as headline hyperlinks that connect
via a EDailyNews url to the corresponding
full-text article on the site where the
article is published. The Links will only
display each headline during the day or
days such headline appears on the Publisher's
Site and You may not otherwise display
such headlines on Your Site at any other
time. You shall not be entitled to frame
an article from a Publisher's Site or any
part thereof within the Your Site and You

the Links on Your site, when clicked, will
not open in a frame. You agree that You

transfer or otherwise economically exploit
any of the Links, in whole or in part,

the validity of the Links, or any other
software programs that use the Links to
view the original article of the Publisher,
except as expressly permitted in this agreement
or with prior written permission of EDailyNews.
2.7.
You may reproduce the Links on pages not
powered directly by EDailyNews, provided,
however that the text of the headline and
the link through the EDailyNews domain remain
unmodified, and the source attributed remains
intact. You are not authorized to copy
the text from any article, without the
express permission of the Publisher.
2.8.
You may write commentary around the Links,
and sell advertising on the page which
contains the Links but you shall be solely
liable if such commentary and/or advertising
