All rights not expressly granted herein are deemed withheld and reserved.
7. User Agreements. Licensee shall enter into a valid and binding end user license agreement with all users of Licensee’s Application (the “EULA”) that contain provisions that contain all of the restrictions on the use of the Rental Statistics as those contained in this Agreement. Additionally, such EULA shall contain limitations of liability and warranty disclaimers with respect to the Rental Statistics consistent with the limitations contained herein.
8. Fees. Licensee shall pay the fees set forth in the then current pricing schedule published in the Company Documentation. All fees shall be non-refundable, and payable in United States dollars on the date they come due. Fees will be payable in the manner specified by Company. If based on Company invoices, such fees shall be payable within fifteen (15) days from the date on the applicable invoice. Licensee shall also pay all sales, use, value-added and other taxes, tariffs and duties of any type assessed against Company except for taxes on Company’s income. Company reserves the right to disable Licensee’s API access in the event of a failure by Licensee to pay any fees when due, or if Licensee changes its subscription to a service level that does include API access.
9. Support. Licensee agrees to report to Company any errors or difficulties discovered and the characteristic conditions and symptoms of such errors and difficulties. Company is in no way obligated to provide Licensee with any error correction or support, but may provide whatever error correction and/or support services Company may determine in its sole discretion (and anything it provides in connection therewith will be deemed part of the API).
10. Interoperability. Licensee shall endeavor to inform Company with respect to the interoperability and compatibility of Licensee’s products with Company’s management systems as contemplated herein, and any issues or problems with respect thereto; Licensee will use its best efforts to achieve full interoperability and compatibility.
11. Modification of APIs. Company reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the APIs (or any part thereof) with or without notice.
12. Confidentiality. The API (including, without limitation, all improvement, derivatives, modifications and the like) constitutes Company’s confidential information (“Confidential Information”). Licensee hereby agrees (i) to hold the Confidential Information in confidence and to take reasonable precautions to protect such Confidential Information (including, without limitation, all precautions the Licensee employs with respect to its own confidential materials), (ii) not to divulge any Confidential Information to any third person (except consultants, subject to the conditions stated below), (iii) not to use any Confidential Information except for the purposes set forth in this Agreement, and (iv) not to copy or reverse engineer any Confidential Information. Any employee or consultant given access to the Confidential Information must have a legitimate “need to know” and shall be similarly bound in writing. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that due to the unique nature of the Company’s Confidential Information, there can be no adequate remedy at law for any breach of its obligations hereunder and therefore, that upon any such breach or any threat thereof, Company shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever remedies it might have at law.
13. Indemnity. Licensee agrees that Company shall have no liability whatsoever for (i) any use Licensee makes of the API or (ii) Licensee’s Application. Licensee shall indemnify and hold harmless Company from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from the foregoing (i) or (ii).
14. Warranty Disclaimer. Without in any way limiting the warranty disclaimers set forth in the Terms of Use, the parties acknowledge that the API, Rental Statistics and any services are provided by Company “AS IS.” COMPANY AND ITS OWN LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES RELATING TO THE API OR ANY SERVICES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES AGAINST INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
15. Termination. Any termination of the Agreement shall also terminate the licenses granted hereunder. Upon termination of the Agreement for any reason, Licensee shall destroy and remove from all computers, hard drives, networks, and other storage media all copies of Company’s Confidential Information and, upon Company’s request, shall so certify to Company that such actions have occurred. Sections 4, 5 and 12 through 17 (and any accrued rights to payment) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

The API is a "commercial item," "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation." In accordance with such provisions, any use of the API by the Government shall be governed solely by the terms of this Agreement.
17. Export Controls. Licensee shall comply with all export laws and restrictions and regulations of the Department of Commerce, the United States Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), or other United States or foreign agency or authority, and Licensee shall not export, or allow the export or re-export of the APIs in violation of any such restrictions, laws or regulations.
