End User hereby grants Khosla Tech a non-exclusive license to copy, distribute, perform, display, store, modify, and otherwise use End User Data in connection with operating the Hosted Services.

Khosla Tech may also use aggregate information to measure general Hosted Service usage patterns and characteristics of its user base and otherwise to improve its products and services, and may include such aggregate information about its audience in promotional materials or reports to third parties.

4.1 Accounts and Passwords. 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 will keep all its Authorized Users' passwords and usernames confidential and will not share them with third parties. End User is responsible for all actions taken through its accounts.

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.

Some Embedded Software may include source code provided as part of the Embedded Software Licensor’s standard shipment. That source code will be governed by the terms for Embedded Software in this Agreement, and not the terms for Source Code in Section 2.5 (Source Code) above.

End User understands that the applicable Embedded Software Licensor retains all ownership and intellectual property rights to the Embedded Software. Embedded Software Licensors (and any other third party licensors of any components of the Products) are intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement with respect to the items they license and may enforce this Agreement directly against End User; but, to be clear, Embedded Software Licensor do not assume any of Khosla Tech’s obligations under this Agreement. 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.

End User will not, and will not allow any Authorized User or other third party to: (a) resell, assign, rent, give, transfer, pass title to, lease, copy, provide access to or sublicense (including without limitation on a timeshare, subscription service, hosted service or outsourced basis) any Product to any third party (for use in its business operations or otherwise) or anyone else besides Authorized Users in accordance with this express terms of this Agreement, or permit anyone besides Authorized Users to use any data or information not owned by End User that is generated by the Products (and, in the event End User grants any security interest in any Products, the secured party has no right to use or transfer the Products); (b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, decipher, decrypt, or otherwise seek to discover or obtain the source code or non-public APIs to Products (including any data structure or similar materials produced by the Products), except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law despite this prohibition (and then only upon advance notice to Khosla Tech); (c) modify, adapt or create derivative works of a Product to build products or services that resemble or compete with Khosla Tech’s products and services; (d) remove or obscure any proprietary or other notices of Khosla Tech or any third party contained in any Product (including any information or data generated by the Products); (e) publicly disseminate information regarding the performance and the security of Products; (f) use any Product for commercial solicitation purposes or spam; (g) use the Khosla Tech name or any Khosla Tech trademarks or logos without Khosla Tech’s prior written consent; or (h) commit any act or omission that could result in damage to Khosla Tech’s or its suppliers' or licensors' reputations. End User will not attempt to do any of the foregoing, encourage others to do so, or otherwise attempt to bypass or circumvent any usage restrictions in this Agreement.

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.

5.3 Cancellation/Refund. Once End User generates a license key for a product, no refund shall be provided. This includes updating the product key upon renewal.

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. When the audit is assigned, then notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, End User Licensor will not be responsible for End User’s costs incurred in cooperating with the audit.

9. Termination
