End User will provide accurate, current and complete information when registering with Khosla Tech and ordering Products and agrees to update its information if it changes. This is important, because Khosla Tech may send notices, statements and other information to End User by email or through End User’s account (for Hosted Services).

End User may not install, access, configure or use any Embedded Software (including any APIs, tools, databases or other components of any Embedded Software) separately or independently of the rest of the Product, whether for production, technical support or any other purposes, or otherwise attempt to gain direct access to any Embedded Software components, or permit anyone else (including Customers) to do any of these things. Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement, End User may not modify any Embedded Software. End User will be financially responsible to the applicable third party licensor (“Embedded Software Licensor”) for all damages and losses resulting from End User’s or its Customers' breach of this Agreement. End User may not “benchmark” or otherwise analyze performance information for individual Embedded Software elements.

In addition, End User agrees to the Embedded Software-related audit provisions in Section 6 (License Certifications and Audits) below.
Embedded Software may include or be accompanied by third party technology that may be appropriate or necessary for use with some Embedded Software. Such technology may be specified in the Documentation or otherwise specified by Khosla Tech, and is licensed to End User only for use with the Product with which it is provided under the specified third party license terms, and not this Agreement. Khosla Tech may also provide additional or substitute terms for Embedded Software if required by the Embedded Software Licensor, and End User will comply with those terms.
4.3 Rules for Plug-ins. End User may develop its own plug-ins for various Products (“End User Plug-ins”) and may distribute End User Plug-ins to third parties, but only for those Products permitted by Khosla Tech, and only in accordance with Khosla Tech’s published plug-in and API guidelines. End User Plug-ins distributed through the Khosla Tech Marketplace will be subject to the posted terms for the Khosla Tech Marketplace.

4.5 Indemnification. End User will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Khosla Tech from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with any claim arising from or relating to (a) any breach by End User (including any Authorized Users) of this Agreement, (b) any End User Data, (c) any End User Modifications, End User Plug-ins or other modifications of or combinations with a Product, or any service or product offered by End User in connection with or related to a Product, (d) any Uncontrolled Systems, or (e) any representations or warranties made by End User (including any Authorized User) regarding a Product to third parties. This indemnification obligation is subject to End User receiving (i) prompt written notice of such claim (but in any event notice in sufficient time for End User to respond without prejudice); (ii) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense, or settlement of such claim, provided that Khosla Tech may participate in the claim at its own expense and End User may not settle any claim without Khosla Tech’s prior written consent; and (iii) all reasonable necessary cooperation of Khosla Tech at End User’s expense.

6. License Certifications and Audits
Upon Khosla Tech’s written request, End User will provide Khosla Tech with a signed certification certifying that all Products are being used pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including any access and user limitations. With prior reasonable notice of at least ten (10) days, Khosla Tech (or its authorized agent) may audit the use of the Products by End User and its Authorized Users and any Customers, provided such audit is during regular business hours. End User will provide reasonable assistance and access to information in the course of any audit. End User is responsible for such audit costs only in the event the audit reveals that End User’s use of the Products is not in accordance with the permitted scope of use. In the event that any certification or audit reveals that End User has exceeded its permitted number of Authorized Users, Khosla Tech may invoice End User for any past or ongoing excessive use and End User will pay the invoice in accordance with Section 5 (Fees and Payment). This remedy is without prejudice to any other remedies available to Khosla Tech at law or equity or under this Agreement.
End User understands that Khosla Tech may report audit results to any applicable Embedded Software Licensor or may assign the right to audit End User in this Section 6 to Embedded Software Licensors.

9. Termination
