- Downloadable Components.The operation of certain modules of the Services requires the use of downloadable software components designed to be installed on desktop or mobile devices ("Downloadable Components"). The Downloadable Components are "Services" under the Agreement. Users may need to expressly opt into the use of certain Downloadable Components; in such cases, the operation of the Services which require such Downloadable Components is contingent on such opt-in by Users. We are not responsible for lack of use of the Services due to User refusal to install the Downloadable Components, lack of User opt-in (where required), or User opt-out (where enabled). Conditioned upon your compliance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, we grant you the following limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as expressly provided herein), royalty-free, revocable license: your authorized Users may download, install and run on supported devices the executable form of the Downloadable Components for purposes of using the Services' modules which utilize the Downloadable Components and for which you have subscribed. In addition to the restrictions of the Agreement regarding the Services, you may not translate, disassemble, decompile, decrypt, or reverse engineer the Downloadable Components, or authorize or knowingly permit a third party to do any of the foregoing, except to the extent such activities are expressly permitted by law notwithstanding this prohibition or by licensing terms governing use of open-source components included with the Downloadable Components. We may, from time to time, update the Downloadable Components. The Downloadable Components and all copies thereof are licensed and not sold, and are protected by
applicable law, including United States and foreign copyright laws and international treaties. The licenses in this Section shall terminate at the earlier of the termination or expiration of the Agreement or the termination or expiration of your subscription to the Services' module(s) which utilize the Downloadable Components. Upon license termination, you must cease all use of the Downloadable Components and promptly delete all copies, full or partial, thereof that are in your Users’ possession or control. Any service level agreement shall not apply to the Downloadable Components and to the operation of the Services’ module(s) dependent, in whole or in part, on the Downloadable Components.
