The CUSTOMER agrees to use the PRODUCT only for the CUSTOMER'S own internal data processing on licenced machines (or on any machine(s) used as a backup during any temporary hardware failure or unavailability). The CUSTOMER will provide a dial-in facility to the DISTRIBUTOR or SUPPLIER as requested for the purpose of verifying active licences.

CUSTOMER agrees not to disclose all or any part of the PRODUCT to any third party and to take reasonable precautions to prevent such disclosure.
  5. CUSTOMER shall not make additional copies of all or any part of the PRODUCT except for archival and backup pouposes. PRODUCT documentation may be copied by CUSTOMER for its internal reference only. Further, CUSTOMER shall not amend, alter, modify, make additions to or derive works from any PRODUCT , or reverse engineer, de-compile or disassemble any PRODUCT. CUSTOMER shall not remove any copyright notice, trademark or other proprietary designation from the PRODUCT.

  8. Any breach of this Agreement by CUSTOMER shall cause the licence granted in paragraph 3 above to terminate. Upon such termination, CUSTOMER will return all PRODUCT materials to DISTRIBUTOR within 10 days if requested by DISTRIBUTOR or SUPPLIER.

  9. All notices and updates will be sent to the parties at the address listed on the Schedule. The PRODUCT will become inoperable unless CUSTOMER receives periodic updates from DISTRIBUTOR under a separate Maintenance and Support Agreement. CUSTOMER must therefore inform DISTRIBUTOR of any change in the address listed on the Schedule.

  11. This Agreement will be construed according to the laws of England and Wales.
