If Licensee is a European Union resident, Licensee acknowledges that information necessary to achieve interoperability of the Software with other programs is available upon request.
(c) Licensee may make a single copy of the Standalone Software and Documentation solely for its back-up purposes; provided that any such copy is the exclusive property of Impinj and its suppliers and includes all copyright and other intellectual property right notices that appear on the original.
(d) Impinj is not obligated under this Agreement to provide any updates, corrections, enhancements, modifications or bug fixes to the Licensed Materials (“Updates”) to Licensee. If Impinj provides any Update to Licensee, such Update shall be deemed part of the Licensed Materials and subject to the license and all other terms and conditions hereunder, unless Impinj provides other terms along with the Update. Licensee shall have no license or right to use any Upgrade unless Licensee, at the time of acquiring any such Update, already holds a valid license to the original Software and has paid the applicable fees for, or is otherwise authorized to use, the Update. Further, use of any Update for Embedded Software is limited to the Equipment for which Licensee holds a valid license to use the Software which is being updated.
(e) Impinj shall have the right to inspect and audit Licensee’s use, deployment, and exploitation of the Licensed Materials for compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(f) Licensee shall have the right to transfer the Embedded Software as embedded in Equipment in connection with a transfer of all of Licensee’s right, title and interest in such Equipment to a third party; provided, that, Licensee transfers the Embedded Software and any copies thereof subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such third party agrees in writing to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(g) Licensee acknowledges that the Software contains or is provided with copyrighted software of Impinj’s suppliers as identified in associated documentation or other printed or electronic materials ("Third Party Software") which are obtained under a license from such suppliers. Licensee’s use of any Third Party Software shall be subject to and Licensee shall comply with the applicable restrictions and other terms and conditions set forth in such documentation or materials.
2. Ownership. Impinj or its suppliers own and shall retain all right, title and interest (including without limitation all intellectual property rights), in and to the Licensed Materials and any Update, whether or not made by Impinj. Licensee acknowledges that the licenses granted under this Agreement do not provide Licensee with title to or ownership of the Licensed Materials, but only a right of limited use under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in Section 1, Impinj reserves all rights and grants Licensee no licenses of any kind hereunder. All information or feedback provided by Licensee to Impinj with respect to the Software or Equipment shall be Impinj’s property and deemed confidential information of Impinj.
3. Confidentiality. Licensee agrees that the Licensed Materials contain confidential information, including trade secrets, know-how, and information pertaining to the technical structure or performance of the Software, that is the exclusive property of Impinj as between Licensee and Impinj. In addition, Impinj’s confidential information includes any confidential or trade secret information related to the Licensed Materials. During the period this Agreement is in effect and at all times thereafter, Licensee shall maintain Impinj’s confidential information in confidence and use the same degree of care, but in no event less than reasonable care, to avoid disclosure of Impinj’s confidential information as it uses with respect to its own confidential and proprietary information of similar type and importance. Licensee agrees to only disclose Impinj’s confidential information to its directors, officers and employees who have a bona fide need to know solely to exercise Licensee’s rights under this Agreement and to only use Impinj’s confidential information incidentally in the customary operation of the Software and Equipment. Licensee shall not sell, license, sublicense, publish, display, distribute, disclose or otherwise make available Impinj’s confidential information to any third party nor use such information except as authorized by this Agreement. Licensee agrees to immediately notify Impinj of the unauthorized disclosure or use of the Licensed Materials and to assist Impinj in remedying such unauthorized use or disclosure. It is further understood and agreed that any breach of this Section 3 or Section 1(b) is a material breach of this Agreement and any such breach would cause irreparable harm to Impinj and its suppliers, entitling Impinj or its suppliers to injunctive relief in addition to all other remedies available at law.

IMPINJ’S SUPPLIERS MAKE NO DIRECT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND TO LICENSEE FOR THE LICENSED MATERIALS. NEITHER IMPINJ NOR ANY OF ITS SUPPLIERS WARRANT THAT THE LICENSED MATERIALS OR ANY PART THEREOF WILL MEET LICENSEE’S REQUIREMENTS OR BE UNINTERRUPTED, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY ERRORS IN THE LICENSED MATERIALS WILL BE CORRECTED. SOME STATES/JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO LICENSEE. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES LICENSEE SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS. LICENSEE MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS, WHICH VARY FROM STATE/JURISDICTION TO STATE/JURISDICTION.
5. Term and Termination. This Agreement is effective until terminated. Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time by destroying all copies of the Software.
