3. All products sold by Aspen may not be exported or re-exported to a country subject to US embargo, nor sold directly or indirectly to any persons or companies who are not authorized to obtain such US products or for sale (in accordance with the lists available or viewable at: http://apps.export.gov/csl-search#/csl-search), unless there is an export license or approval from the required US-American Government authority.
