WHEREAS, Wyebot has developed a proprietary software application which permits a user thereof to monitor its wireless network, including with the use of one or more pieces of Wyebot network hardware; and Customer desires to access and use such application, and Wyebot desires to provide such access, in accordance with the terms and conditions herein;

NOW, THEREFOR, in consideration of the covenants set forth herein, Wyebot and Customer hereby agree as follows:

1. Provision of the Solution.

1.1 Provision Generally. Wyebot will provide Customer with access to Wyebot’s network monitoring software specified in the Order (the “Service”), for use with the Wyebot network hardware specified in the Order (the “Hardware” and together with the Service, the “Solution”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  In order to access and use the Solution, Customer is responsible at its own expense for obtaining its own Internet access, and any hardware and software required therefor.

1.2 Grant of Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Wyebot hereby grants to Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right for Customer’s Users (as defined below) to access and use the Service (including, for clarity, any output thereof) and Hardware, solely for Customer’s internal business purposes during the applicable Order Term.  A “User” shall mean an employee or independent contractor of Customer. Customer is also bound by any further restrictions set forth in the Order.  All rights not expressly granted to Customer are reserved by Wyebot and its licensors.  There are no implied rights.

1.3 Restrictions. Customer shall not (and shall not allow any third party to): (a) use the Solution for the benefit of any third party, or to develop or market any product, software or service that is functionally similar to or derivative of the Solution, in whole or part, or for any other purpose not expressly permitted herein; (b) permit any non-User to access or use the Solution; (c) sell, distribute, rent, lease, service bureau, post, link, disclose or provide access to the Solution, directly or indirectly, to any third party; (d) alter, modify, debug, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive or gain access to any software (including source code) or other underlying specifications or technology associated with the Solution; or (e) use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means to access the Solution, or engage in any scraping, data-mining, harvesting, screen-scraping, data aggregating or indexing of the Solution.  All acts and omissions of Users shall be deemed to be those of Customer, and Customer shall be responsible therefor.  Customer shall keep all passwords safe and secure and shall be responsible for all use of the Solution using passwords issued to Customer and Users and all use of the Hardware.  Customer shall notify Wyebot immediately of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of its passwords for the Service or the Hardware.  Without limiting any of its other rights or remedies, Wyebot reserves the right to suspend any User’s right to access the Solution if Wyebot reasonably believes that such User has materially violated the restrictions and obligations in this Agreement (in which case, it shall provide Customer prompt written notice of such suspension).

1.4 Customer Cooperation. Customer shall: (a) reasonably cooperate with Wyebot in all matters relating to the Solution; (b) respond promptly to any Wyebot request to provide information, approvals, authorizations or decisions that are reasonably necessary for Wyebot to provide the Solution in accordance with this Agreement; and (c) provide such Customer materials or information as Wyebot may reasonably request to provide the Solution and ensure that such materials or information are complete and accurate in all material respects.

1.5 Added Hardware Obligations. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, Customer acknowledges that Wyebot retains ownership of the Hardware, which is provided to Customer solely for its own use during the applicable Order Term in association with the Service.  Customer shall maintain the Hardware in good working condition, normal wear and tear excepted, will insure the Hardware, and will not permit the Hardware to become subject to any liens, security interests or other encumbrances.  Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement or the applicable Order, or Wyebot’s earlier written request, Customer shall return the Hardware to Wyebot.  As instructed and requested by Wyebot, Customer may be required to update or replace the Hardware from time-to-time.
