Customer shall use the Software solely as embedded in Kymeta equipment owned or leased by Customer and used for Customer’s internal business purposes. no other licenses are granted by implication, estoppel or otherwise.
For evaluation or beta copies for which Kymeta does not charge a license fee, the above requirement to pay license fees does not apply.

Customer acknowledges that the Software and Documentation contain trade secrets of Kymeta, its suppliers or licensors, including but not limited to the specific internal design and structure of individual programs and associated interface information. except as otherwise expressly provided under the Agreement, Customer shall use the Software only in connection with the use of Kymeta equipment purchased by the Customer from an approved source and Customer shall have no right, and Customer specifically agrees not to transfer, assign or sublicense its license rights to any other person or entity (other than in compliance with any Kymeta relicensing/transfer policy then in force), or use the Software on Kymeta equipment not purchased by the Customer from an approved source or on second-hand Kymeta equipment, and Customer acknowledges that any attempted transfer, assignment, sublicense or use shall be void; make error corrections to or otherwise modify or adapt the Software or create derivative works based upon the Software, or permit third parties to do the same; reverse engineer or decompile, decrypt, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Software to human-readable form, except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted under applicable law notwithstanding this restriction or except to the extent that Kymeta is legally required to permit such specific activity pursuant to any applicable open source license; publish any results of benchmark tests run on the Software; use or permit the Software to be used to perform services for third parties, whether on a service bureau or time sharing basis or otherwise, without the express written authorization of Kymeta; or disclose, provide, or otherwise make available trade secrets contained within the Software and Documentation in any form to any third party without the prior written consent of Kymeta. Customer shall implement reasonable security measures to protect such trade secrets.
To the extent required by law, and at Customer’s written request, Kymeta shall provide Customer with the interface information needed to achieve interoperability between the Software and another independently created program, on payment of Kymeta’s applicable fee, if any. Customer shall observe strict obligations of confidentiality with respect to such information and shall use such information in compliance with any applicable terms and conditions upon which Kymeta makes such information available.

Kymeta and Customer each agree to provide the other information, support documents, and assistance as may reasonably be required by the other in connection with securing authorizations or licenses.
U.S. Government End User Purchasers. The Software and Documentation qualify as “commercial items,” as that term is defined at Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) (48 C.F.R.) 2.101, consisting of “Commercial Computer Software” and “Commercial Computer Software Documentation” as such terms are used in far 12.212. consistent with FAR 12.212 and DOD FAR SUPP. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, and notwithstanding any other FAR or other contractual clause to the contrary in any agreement into which the Agreement may be incorporated, Customer may provide to Government End User or, if the Agreement is direct, Government End User will acquire, the Software and Documentation with only those rights set forth in the Agreement. Use of either the Software or Documentation or both constitutes agreement by the government that the Software and Documentation are “Commercial Computer Software” and “Commercial Computer Software Documentation,” and constitutes acceptance of the rights and restrictions herein.
Identified Components; Additional Terms. The Software may contain or be delivered with one or more components, which may include third-party components, identified by Kymeta in the Documentation, readme.txt_file, or on www.Kymetacorp.com. (the “Identified Component(s)”) as being subject to different license agreement terms, disclaimers of warranties, limited warranties or other terms and conditions (collectively, “Additional Terms”) than those set forth herein. You agree to the applicable additional terms for any such Identified Component(s).
Limited Warranty. Subject to the limitations and conditions set forth herein, Kymeta warrants that commencing from the date of shipment to Customer (but in case ofle by an approved source other than Kymeta, commencing not more than ninety (90) days after original shipment by Kymeta), and continuing for a period of two (2) years : (a) the media on which the Software is furnished will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use; and (b) the Software substantially conforms to the Documentation. The date of shipment of a product or equipment by Kymeta is set forth on the packaging material in which the product or equipment is shipped. except for the foregoing, the Software is provided “as is”. This limited warranty extends only to the Software purchased from an approved source by a Customer who is the first registered end user. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of Kymeta and its suppliers under this limited warranty will be (i) replacement of defective media and/or (ii) at Kymeta’s option, repair, replacement, or refund of the purchase price of the Software, in both cases subject to the condition that any error or defect constituting a breach of this limited warranty is reported to the approved source supplying the Software to Customer within the warranty period. Kymeta or the approved source supplying the Software to Customer may, at its option, require return of the Software and/or Documentation as a condition to the remedy. In no event does Kymeta warrant that the Software is error free or that Customer will be able to operate the Software without problems or interruptions. In addition, due to the continual development of new techniques for intruding upon and attacking networks, Kymeta does not warrant that the Software or any equipment, system or network on which the Software is used will be free of vulnerability to intrusion or attack.
Restrictions. This warranty does not apply if the Software, product or any other equipment upon which the Software is authorized to be used (a) has been altered, except by Kymeta or its authorized representative, (b) has not been installed, operated, repaired, or maintained in accordance with instructions supplied by Kymeta, (c) has been subjected to abnormal physical or electrical stress, abnormal environmental conditions, misuse, negligence, or accident; or (d) is licensed for beta, evaluation, testing or demonstration purposes.

Disclaimer of Warranty. Except as specified in this warranty section, all express or implied conditions, representations, and warranties including, without limitation, any implied warranty or condition of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, satisfactory quality, non-interference, accuracy of informational content, or arising from a course of dealing, law, usage, or trade practice, are hereby excluded to the extent allowed by applicable law and are expressly disclaimed by Kymeta, its suppliers and licensors. To the extent that any of the same cannot be excluded, such implied condition, representation and/or warranty is limited in duration to the express warranty period referred to in the “limited warranty” section above. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, the above limitation may not apply in such states. this warranty gives Customer specific legal rights, and Customer may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. This disclaimer and exclusion shall apply even if the express warranty set forth above fails of its essential purpose.
