Such rights and license will be exclusive during the term of this Agreement, and any extensions or renewals of it. After termination of this Agreement, such rights and license will be nonexclusive, but will remain royalty-free.

Each party to this agreement acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by any party, or anyone acting on behalf of any party, which are not embodied herein, and that no other agreement, statement, or promise not contained in this agreement shall be valid or binding. Any modification of this agreement will be effective only if it is in writing signed by the party to be charged.

The Consultant shall maintain in confidence and shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose or use, either during or after the term of this agreement, any Proprietary Information, confidential information, or know-how belonging to the Company, whether or not is in written form, except to the extent necessary to perform services under this agreement. On termination of the Consultant’s services to the Company, or at the request of the Company before termination, the Consultant shall deliver to the Company all material in the Consultant’s possession relating to the Company’s business.
