2.1. Software is owned and copyrighted by Userful and/or by third-party suppliers.

Third-party suppliers shall have the right to protect their own proprietary rights to the Software in the event of any infringement.
2.2. Unless otherwise permitted by Userful, Customer may only make copies of the Software for archival purposes or when copying is an essential step in the authorized use of the Software on a backup device, provided that copies are used in no other manner, and provided further that the use on the backup device is discontinued when the original or replacement device becomes operable.
2.3. Customer may not use more Displays than stipulated in the License, nor may the software be used if it is not within the Term of Validity of the most recent License or Support Agreement with the Customer.
2.4. Customer will not modify, disassemble or decompile the Software without Userful's prior written consent. Where Customer has other rights under statute, Customer will provide Userful with reasonably detailed information regarding any intended disassembly or decompilation. Customer will not decrypt the Software unless necessary for legitimate use of the Software. In addition, Customer will take all reasonable steps to ensure that users of Userful's software in Customer's possession do none of the aforementioned.
2.5. The customer shall not:

3.2. Many of the software programs included in Userful's Software are distributed under the terms of agreements with Third Parties ("Third Party Agreements") that may expand or limit Customer's rights to use certain Software Programs as set forth in Section 2. Certain Software Programs may be licensed (or sublicensed) to Customer under the GNU General Public License and other similar open source license agreements ("OSLAs") which, among other rights, permit Customer to copy, modify and redistribute certain Software Programs, or portions thereof, and have access to the source code of certain Software Programs, or portions thereof. In addition, certain Software Programs, or portions thereof, may be licensed (or sublicensed) to Customer under terms stricter than those set forth in Section 2. To the extent any Third Party Agreements require that Userful provide rights to use, copy or modify a Software Program that is broader than the rights granted in Section 2, then such rights shall take precedence over the rights and restrictions granted in this Agreement solely for such Software Programs.
3.3. Unless the Customer is a Userful authorized reseller, Customer may not sublicense the Software unless otherwise agreed to by Userful in writing.
4. Collection of Data
4.1 Customer acknowledges that the Software installation process, check-for-update process, cloud management services, usage reports, and report-a-bug process all collect and transmit a limited amount of data to Userful. This data includes information about your computer hardware including your MAC address and some information about the versions and configuration of the software, information about session start and end times, and settings you've selected from within the Userful interface. This information helps Userful provide you with accurate information about the availability of updates, helps us to pinpoint and resolve any problems, and helps to determine which are the right resources to provide support. In addition, the usage reports and cloud services enable you to centrally view your systems, settings, and utilization.
4.2 Customer hereby consents to Userful's collection and use of such information and agrees that Userful's collection and use of any personally identifiable information will be governed by Userful's Privacy Policy, currently published at www.userful.com, as Userful may revise the same from time to time.

Should the Software become or in Userful's opinion might become the subject of infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights, Userful may, at its expense, do one of the following:

7.1.2. Modify the Software or affected part to make it non-infringing;
