Customer agrees to maintain a valid payment method while using the Software. All rights of the Customer to paid components of the Software are conditioned on Scatter’s receipt of full payment of all amounts due. Late payments shall accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month until paid in full.

4. Protection of Software.

4.1. Legends and Notices. Customer shall not remove from any copies of the Software or Documentation any Scatter copyright or trademark notice attached thereto.

4.3. Feedback. If Customer provides to Scatter feedback regarding usability, features, bugs and test results (collectively, “Feedback”) to Scatter, Customer hereby assigns and agrees to assign to Scatter all such Feedback.  Customer shall execute any documentation reasonably required to vest ownership of such Feedback in Scatter.

4.4. Confidentiality. Customer hereby acknowledges that the Software contains valuable Confidential Information of Scatter. Customer agrees to hold all such Confidential Information in confidence, not to use such Confidential Information except as required to exercise its rights hereunder, and not to disclose such Confidential Information to anyone other than Customer’s employees with a bona fide need to know as designated by an officer of Customer, and only if such employees are governed by a parallel confidentiality obligation of equal or greater force. Additionally, Customer agrees to use at least that degree of care which Customer uses to protect Customer’s own information of a similar proprietary nature, but in no event less than reasonable protection. Excluded from such Confidential Information is information (a) that Customer can prove by clear and convincing evidence that Customer had in Customer’s possession without confidentiality restrictions prior to disclosure, (b) that is known or becomes known to the general public without breach of this Agreement. The obligations herein survive the termination, expiration or cancellation of this Agreement for any cause whatsoever, and remain in force in perpetuity.

Scatter reserves all rights not expressly granted herein, including but not limited to the right to license or sell the Software to any third parties. For avoidance of doubt, no access or license is hereby granted to the Software’s Source Code, except as necessary to execute the Software’s Object Code.

4.7. Automatic Termination. Customer acknowledges and agrees that a breach of the restrictions contained in this Section 4 shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.
