By installing, copying, or otherwise using the Software, Licensee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this EULA. If Licensee does not agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this EULA, then Licensee may not download, install, or use the Software.
1. Grant of License
A) Scope of License. Subject to the terms of this EULA, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee on a non-exclusive basis solely for use by you, and you alone, under the terms of this Agreement. VNL, (and, to the extent applicable, its licensors), retains all title to and ownership of the Software and reserves all rights not expressly granted to you hereby. The Software is being distributed by digital download.
B) Installation and Use. Licensee may use a maximum of one (1) user account in the PARTNER Platform.
C) No Transfer of License. You may not transfer your license of the Software to anyone.
2.Description of Rights and Limitations
A) Your PARTNER Platform Account.
If you create an account in the
Software, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and you are fully
responsible
for all activities that occur under the account and any other actions taken in connection with the

or
any other breaches of security. Visible Network Labs will not be liable for any acts or omissions by

dashboards/visualizations as coded nodes in network maps (for example, coded as a “nonprofit
organization.” All data are grouped into one large dataset that is used for network research and
general
knowledge on networks, and to feed into the online data dashboards. Electing to exclude your data
from
the larger data set does not prohibit use of the Software. Please notify us at
privacy@visiblenetworklabs.com to discuss excluding your data from the larger dataset.
B) Limitations. You acknowledge that the Software contains trade secrets and other proprietary information of Visible Network Labs and/or its licensors. Licensee and third parties may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble the Software, or engage in any other activities to obtain underlying information that is not visible to the user in connection with normal use of the Software.

Licensor may use and reuse Intellectual Property, in whole or in part, in all media, whether now or later existing, in perpetuity, including but not limited to the exclusive right to reproduce, perform, and exploit the Intellectual Property, and all information regarding Intellectual Property, concurrent with the discovery or development of the Intellectual Property.
