3. License

If you are eligible to use the Services, we grant you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nonassignable, nonsublicensable license to access the Services in compliance with the Terms; unlicensed access is unauthorized. You agree not to license, distribute, make derivative works, display, sell, rent, loan, or frame content from the Services, excluding content that you create.
