Any updates, new versions, or upgrades of the Beta Software provided by Waterloo Data in its sole discretion under this Agreement, shall be licensed and treated as Beta Software hereunder.

- Retention of Ownership. Waterloo Data and/or its Licensees retain all ownership, rights, title, and interest in or relating to the Beta Software. Licensee agrees that it has no rights or licenses in or relating to the Beta Software other than the limited right to use expressly granted in this Agreement.
2. Term and Termination. This Agreement will be in full force and effect until terminated as described herein (“Term”). Either party may terminate this Agreement upon fifteen (15) days written notice to the other party at any time during the Term. Upon termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall immediately cease using the Beta Software for any purpose and shall, if applicable, delete the Beta Software. Sections 1.2, 1.3, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 and 7 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
3. Warranty and Support Disclaimer. The Beta Software is provided without warranty in its current “AS IS” condition without warranties of any kind. WATERLOO DATA MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

WATERLOO DATA’S ENTIRE AND AGGREGATE LIABILITY, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, SHALL NOT EXCEED $100 AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY. BY USING THE BETA SOFTWARE, LICENSEE ACCEPTS THIS ALLOCATION OF RISK. THIS DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.
5. Confidentiality
-
- Confidentiality. Licensee shall protect Confidential Information (as defined below) by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination or publication of the Confidential Information that Licensee uses to protect its own confidential information of a like nature. Licensee’s duty to protect Confidential Information pursuant to this Agreement shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement. “Confidential Information” shall be the Beta Software (whether or not marked) and any other material that is marked as confidential or identified as confidential at the time of disclosure. Confidential Information shall also include the existence and contents of this Agreement and all information relating to the Licensee’s use of the Beta Software hereunder including, but not limited to, the performance results, capabilities, benchmarks, Feedback, functionality, including new functionality, and/or deficiencies of the Beta Software. Licensee shall use such Confidential Information only as expressly provided under this Agreement. Licensee shall not disclose the Confidential Information to anyone. Licensee shall take every reasonable precaution, but no less than the precautions Licensee takes with regard to its own confidential information, to prevent the theft, disclosure, and the unauthorized use, copying, reproduction, or distribution of the Confidential Information.
- Suggestions and Feedback to Waterloo Data. At Licensee’s discretion, Licensee may provide feedback to Waterloo Data concerning the functionality and performance of the Beta Software from time to time as reasonably requested by Waterloo Data, including, without limitation, identifying potential errors, improvements, modifications, bug fixes, or enhancements (“Feedback”). If Licensee, through its use or otherwise, suggests any Feedback, Licensee hereby grants and agrees to grant to Waterloo Data at no charge a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide right and license to use, reproduce, disclose, sublicense, distribute, modify, and otherwise exploit such Feedback without restriction as if Waterloo Data was the owner thereof.

- Injunctive Relief. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that a breach of this Agreement by Licensee may cause irreparable damage to Waterloo Data for which recovery of money damages would not be adequate, and that Waterloo Data shall therefore be entitled to seek timely injunctive relief to protect its rights under this Agreement in addition to any and all remedies available at law.
- Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any licenses, rights or obligations hereunder shall be assignable or transferable (in insolvency proceedings, by merger, by operation of law, by purchase or otherwise) by Licensee without the prior written consent of Waterloo Data.
