Copies may be downloaded only subject to the provisions below. By either accessing this site or downloading Materials from it, User agrees to be bound by all the terms of this Agreement; should User not agree, do not access the site or download Materials from it.

"User" means an individual user whether or not issued a separate and discrete user ID by completing any registration process. While Praxair, Inc. and its wholly-owned and affiliated companies may have their own separate identities, we sometimes refer to Praxair companies in general by using "Praxair", "Our", "We", or "Us" (or where no compelling purpose is served by identifying any particular Praxair company).

This site is operated by Praxair from within the United States of America. Praxair makes no representation that the Materials are appropriate or available for use in other locations, and access to them from territories where their contents are illegal is prohibited. Those who choose to access this site from other locations do so at their own risk and are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws. User may not use or transfer the Materials in violation of U.S. export, Indian or other applicable laws and regulations. Any claim relating to the Materials shall be governed by the Law of India. 

Praxair owns, reserves and retains all proprietary rights, including copyrights, to this site and its Materials; they are protected from copying or distribution under national and international copyright laws and treaties throughout the world.

User is granted a non-exclusive, nontransferable, limited license to access, download and use Materials for non-commercial internal purposes only, subject to this Agreement. This is a license, not a transfer of title, and User may not, without Praxair's express prior written permission: i) modify the Materials or use them for any commercial purpose or any public display, sale or rental; ii) remove any copyright or other proprietary notices from the Materials; or iii) sell or transfer the Materials to another. User agrees to prevent any unauthorized copying, distribution or publication of Materials. Praxair may terminate this license at any time if User violates any term of this Agreement, upon which User will immediately destroy any Materials in its possession or control. User agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Praxair from any damages, losses, costs or expenses which Praxair, its employees and authorized representatives may incur as a result of User's use or dissemination of any Material in violation of this Agreement.
