B. The foregoing license to use Sample Application Code is contingent upon the following: (i) Licensee must ensure that the modifications made to the Sample Application Code as permitted in clause (iv) of Section 2.1Aare compatible and/or interoperable with Avaya products and/or integrated therewith, (ii) Licensee may distribute Licensee?s application that has been created using this SDK, provided that such distribution is subject to an end user pursuant to Licensee?s current end user license agreement (?Licensee EULA?) that is consistent with the terms of this Agreement and, if applicable, any other agreement with Avaya (e.g., the Avaya DevConnect Program Agreement), and is equally as protective as Licensee?s standard software license terms, but in no event shall the standard of care be less than a reasonable degree of care, and (iii) Licensee ensures that each end user who receives Client Libraries or Sample Application Code with Permitted Modifications has all necessary licenses for all underlying Avaya products associated with such Client Libraries or Sample Application Code.
Your Licensee EULA must include terms concerning restrictions on use, protection of proprietary rights, disclaimer of warranties, and limitations of liability. You must ensure that Your End Users using applications, interfaces, value-added services and/or solutions, workflows or processes that incorporate the API, Client Libraries, Sample Code or Permitted Modifications adhere to these terms, and You agree to notify Avaya promptly if You become aware of any breach of the terms of Licensee EULA that may impact Avaya. You will take all reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the SDK and notify Avaya promptly of any such unauthorized access or use.
C. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that it is licensed to use the SDK only in connection with Avaya products (and if applicable, in connection with services provided by or on behalf of Avaya).
D. With respect to Software that contains elements provided by third party suppliers, Licensee may install and use the Software in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable license agreements, such as ?shrinkwrap? or ?click-through? licenses, accompanying or applicable to the Software.
2.2 No Standalone Product. Nothing in this Agreement authorizes or grants Licensee any rights to distribute or otherwise make available to a third party the SDK, in whole or in part, or any Derivative Work in source or object code format on a standalone basis other than the modifications permitted in Section 2.1B of this Agreement.
2.3 Proprietary Notices. Licensee shall not remove any copyright, trade mark or other proprietary notices incorporated in the copies of the SDK, Sample Application Code and redistributable files in Licensee?s possession or control or any modifications thereto. Redistributions in binary form or other suitable program format for distribution, to the extent expressly permitted, must also reproduce Avaya?s copyright, trademarks or other proprietary notices as incorporated in the SDK in any associated Documentation or ?splash screens? that display Licensee copyright notices.
2.4 Third-Party Components. You acknowledge certain software programs or portions thereof included in the SDK may contain software distributed under third party agreements (?Third Party Components?), which may contain terms that expand or limit rights to use certain portions of the SDK (?Third Party Terms?). Information identifying the copyright holders of the Third Party Components and the Third Party Terms that apply is available in the attached Schedule 1 (if any), SDK, Documentation, or on Avaya?s web site at: http://support.avaya.com/Copyright (or such successor site as designated by Avaya). The open source software license terms provided as Third Party Terms are consistent with the license rights granted in this Agreement, and may contain additional rights benefiting You, such as modification and distribution of the open source software. The Third Party Terms shall take precedence over this Agreement, solely with respect to the applicable Third Party Components, to the extent that this Agreement imposes greater restrictions on You than the applicable Third Party Terms. Licensee is solely responsible for procuring any necessary licenses for Third Party Components, including payment of licensing royalties or other amounts to third parties, for the use thereof.
2.5 Copies of SDK. Licensee may copy the SDK only as necessary to exercise its rights hereunder.
2.6a No Reverse Engineering. Licensee shall have no rights to any Source Code for any of the software in the SDK, except for the explicit rights to use the Source Code as provided to Licensee hereunder. Licensee agrees that it shall not cause or permit the disassembly, decompilation or reverse engineering of the Software. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SDK is rightfully located in a member state of the European Union and Licensee needs informationabout the Software in the SDK in order to achieve interoperability of an independently created software program with the Software in the SDK, Licensee will first request such information from Avaya. Avaya may charge Licensee a reasonable fee for the provision of such information. If Avaya refuses to make such information available, then Licensee may take steps, such as reverse assembly or reverse compilation, to the extent necessary solely in order to achieve interoperability of the Software in the SDK with an independently created software program. To the extent that the Licensee is expressly permitted by applicable mandatory law to undertake any of the activities listed in this section, Licensee will not exercise those rights until Licensee has given Avaya twenty (20) days written notice of its intent to exercise any such rights.

2.7 Responsibility for Development Tools. Licensee acknowledges that effective utilization of the SDK may require the use of a development tool, compiler and other software and technology of third parties, which may be incorporated in the SDK pursuant to Section 2.4. Licensee is solely responsible for procuring such third party software and technology and the necessary licenses, including payment of licensing royalties or other amounts to third parties, for the use thereof.
2.8 U.S. Government End Users. The SDK shall be classified as "commercial computer software" and the Documentation is classified as "commercial computer software documentation" or "commercial items," pursuant to FAR 12.212 or DFAR 227.7202, as applicable.

If You move any Software, including the SDK, and as a result of such move, a jurisdiction imposes a duty, tax, levy or fee (including withholding taxes, fees, customs or other duties for the import and export of any such Software), then You are solely liable for, and agree to pay, any such duty, taxes, levy or other fees.
2.12(b) Audit. Avaya shall have the right, at its cost and expense, to inspect and/or audit (i) by remote polling or other reasonable electronic means at any time and (ii) in person during normal business hours and with reasonable notice Licensee?s books, records, and accounts, to determine Licensee?s compliance with this Agreement. In the event such inspection or audit uncovers non-compliance with this Agreement, then without prejudice to Avaya?s termination rights hereunder, Licensee shall promptly pay Avaya any applicable license fees. Licensee agrees to keep a current record of the location of the SDK.

In addition to any other remedies permitted in the Agreement, if Licensee breaches its warranties under this Section, Licensee will, at its expense, take remedial action to eliminate any Time Bombs and/or Viruses and prevent re-occurrence (including implementing appropriate processes to prevent further occurrences) as well as provide prompt, reasonable assistance to Avaya to materially reduce the effects of the Time Bomb and/or Virus.2.16 Disclaimer. Any software security feature is not a guaranty against malicious code, deleterious routines, and other techniques and tools employed by computer ?hackers? and other third parties to create security exposures. Compromised passwords represent a major security risk. Avaya encourages You to create strong passwords using three different character types, change Your password regularly and refrain from using the same password regularly. You must treat such information as confidential. You agree to notify Avaya immediately upon becoming aware of any unauthorized use or breach of Your user name, password, account, API Key, or other credentials as provided by Avaya for use of the SDK, or subscription. You are responsible for ensuring that Your networks and systems are adequately secured against unauthorized intrusion or attack and regularly back up of Your data and files in accordance with good computing practices.
