All users of primers provided by ISU agree as follows:

1. That Users of these primers must acknowledge "the USDA supported U.S. Pig Genome Coordination Project" for the contribution of the primers;
2. That the User is responsible for determining whether use of the Primer violates any intellectual property rights, including patent rights;
3. That the User will make no claim against ISU resulting from a third party's claim that the user is infringing on a patent in using primers;
4. That the primers shall be used only for research purposes only; and
5. That primers will not be re-conveyed to a third party for a use other than research; and
