If you do not accept all the terms of this Agreement, then Bloombase is unwilling to license the Software to you, and you must uninstall and destroy all copies of the Software.

You acknowledge and agree that the Software contains trade secrets of Bloombase and its licensors and, in order to protect such trade secrets and other interests that Bloombase and its licensors may have in the Software, you agree not to disassemble, decompile, or reverse engineer the Software, in whole or in part, or authorize a third party to do so, except to the extent such activities are expressly permitted by law notwithstanding this prohibition. You will reproduce all of Bloombase's and its licensors' copyright notices and any other proprietary rights notices on all copies of the Software that you make hereunder.

The copy of the Software is licensed, not sold. Bloombase owns all right, title, and interest in and to the Software, including all intellectual property rights therein. The Software is protected by United States copyright law and international treaties. You will not delete or in any manner alter the copyright, trademark, and other proprietary rights notices or markings appearing on or in the Software as downloaded by you.

3. No Use of Software with Open Source

You agree not to use the Software in connection with any software or other materials that are distributed as "free software," "open source software" or similar licensing or distribution terms in a manner that would create, or purport to create, obligations for Bloombase to grant, or purport to grant, to any third party any rights in the Software, including but not limited to, requiring the Software to be disclosed or distributed in source code form, licensed for the purpose of making derivative works, or redistributed at no charge.

4. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

A. Definition

"Confidential Information" means: (i) the Software, and any features, results, or output produced by, and other information relating to, the Software; and (ii) any business or technical information of Bloombase, including, but not limited to, any information relating to Bloombase's product plans, designs, costs, product prices and names, finances, marketing plans, business opportunities, personnel, research, development, or know-how, that is designated by Bloombase as "confidential" or "proprietary" and, if orally disclosed, is reduced to writing by Bloombase within thirty (30) days of such disclosure.

C. Restrictions

You will not use or disclose any Confidential Information, except as necessary for the performance of this Agreement.
