-
LICENSE GRANT. Subject to the conditions in this Agreement, AppOne hereby grants to Customer a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, terminable license to access and use the AppOne Solution solely for Customer’s internal business purposes. Customer may use the AppOne Solution for the sole purpose of creating documentation for transactions in which Dealer is a party or in which its customers are a party. Customer may not sub-license the AppOne Solution, allow third parties (including its customers) to access or use the AppOne Solution, or use the AppOne Solution to support sales made by Customer at any location other than the location Customer has licensed hereunder. Customer may not modify the content or presentation of any document created by or with the AppOne Solution.
-
ACCESS AND CONTROLS. Customer’s access to the AppOne Solution is possible only in the software and hardware configurations specified by AppOne as they may be revised from time to time. Customer will provide and maintain, at its own expense, all equipment, computer software, peripheral access devices, communication lines, internet access, telecom equipment, and print and display devices required to access and/or use the AppOne Solution. AppOne shall have no obligation to maintain the software of others, including network software and/or interfaces. Customer agrees to secure and protect access to and use of the AppOne Solution in a manner consistent with the maintenance of AppOne’s rights therein.

For avoidance of doubt, AppOne may share Customer Data with third parties to the extent necessary to provide the Services. Customer further grants to AppOne the nonexclusive, non-terminable, royalty-free license to use and distribute Customer Data in connection with other products and services offered by AppOne and its affiliates.
-
Right to Grant License.

The Safeguards Rule requires those parties to secure records and information from and about customers. This section applies to the extent Customer is subject to the Safeguards Rule, Customer shares with AppOne its “Customer Information” (as defined in the Safeguards Rule), and in circumstances in which AppOne is a “Service-Provider” (as defined in the Safeguards Rule) with regard to such information.

-
Customer is solely responsible for its compliance obligations under the Safeguards Rule. AppOne’s provision of Services to Customer via the AppOne Solution does not constitute, nor shall it be deemed to constitute, a guarantee that Customer’s business is in compliance with any statute or regulation. AppOne’s review or approval of any of Customer’s systems, applications, processes, or procedures does not constitute, nor shall it be deemed to constitute, the assumption by AppOne of any responsibility or liability for compliance by Customer with any statute or regulation.
-
Customer agrees that it and third parties acting on its behalf have no right or authority to access or audit AppOne’s systems, applications, processes, procedures, or practices, except to the extent specifically authorized by AppOne.
