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.

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.

All discoveries, inventions, processes, designs, plans, and trade secrets, whether of a technical nature or not, including all technology, derivative technology, and related IP that contains previously developed and existing programming, code, or other IP that is owned by Licensor (specifically in this agreement, any derivatives of existing VNL IP, such as iterations of the PCN App, PARTNERme, the PARTNER tool or platform, the PARTNER and VNL methodology including but not limited to the PARTNER survey, measures, and analysis, and all other related IP) will remain the sole property and rights of Licensor. 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.

6. Support. Licensor will provide email and chat support, available as needed for the duration of use by Licensee.
