Violators will be prosecuted to the maximum extent possible. The license granted hereunder may not be transferred by Sales Agent to any third party.
Sales Agent acknowledges that the Services and related Software are proprietary to Live Compliance and/or its suppliers and are protected by copyrights, trademarks, service marks, patents and/or other proprietary rights and laws.
