1. User agrees that the License granted by this Agreement is limited to the 2024 release of the Forms, including any amendments thereto. User agrees not to use the Forms upon issuance of the 2025 release of the Forms. The release year is clearly marked on the individual Forms.

3. As of January 1, 2024, the license granted to use printings of any earlier dated Forms shall be permanently revoked. All printed or electronic versions of the earlier dated Forms shall be destroyed.
4. User hereby agrees to indemnify and hold AAR harmless from any and all damages or costs that may result from a revocation of User’s license under this Agreement.
5. User may only use AAR forms if User is an Authorized User. An Authorized User is any of the following persons, who have also agreed to this Agreement: 1) an individual who is an AAR REALTOR® Member; 2) an individual who is a real estate licensee and who has applied for, paid for and received temporary permissions to use Forms from AAR; or (3) an individual otherwise approved in writing by AAR to be an Authorized User.
6. Authorized Users shall only be permitted to use AAR Forms for real estate transactions that User is involved in as a real estate licensee. The AAR Forms are copyrighted, and unauthorized use of AAR Forms may result in legal sanctions against the User and shall be reported to AAR.
7. Unless an attorney is also a real estate licensee, the attorney cannot use any Form in a real estate transaction in which the attorney is not acting as the real estate licensee nor provide any AAR form to a third party for their use.
8. It is a violation of this Agreement for User to provide any AAR Form to a third party except as part of a real estate transaction in which the User is involved as a licensee or as otherwise provided herein. In all cases where any Form is provided to a third party, the User is responsible for ensuring that the third party strictly complies with all terms and conditions of this Agreement.

11. It will be a violation of this Agreement for a User to post the Forms on a website which may be accessed by members of the public or by any person who is not a User. However, it is not a violation if the Forms are posted on a website which may be accessed by the parties in a specific real estate transaction and other persons involved in providing professional or administrative services in the transaction.
12. It shall be a violation for User to allow an affiliated licensee of the User or a licensed real estate assistant of the User to use the Forms in real estate transactions in which the licensed assistant, affiliated licensee, or real estate assistant have not first become an Authorized User as that term is defined herein.
13. It will not be a violation of this Agreement for sample copies of the AAR Forms to be used and distributed for educational purposes in a classroom, in person or virtually, provided that all Forms so used have a clear, conspicuous disclosure that the forms are “For Educational Purposes Only.”

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, nothing shall prohibit a User from using administrative, support, or information technology assistants (hereinafter “Support Personnel”) from providing such assistance to the User, including accessing the Forms in the name of the User provided that such use is limited to transactions in which the User is a real estate licensee and the Support Personnel are not otherwise involved in the transaction as a real estate licensee.
