The license granted in this Section only lasts for so long as Customer owns, rents or leases the applicable Product or pay any required licensing fees for the Software. Except as set forth in Section 2b below, the license granted in this Section is only for those On Demand Software features (if any) for which Customer has purchased and paid Dealer for in full.

The number of demonstrations of the On Demand Software may be limited by Dealer or Bobcat at any time.
c. On Demand Software. THE PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN CERTAIN ON DEMAND SOFTWARE WHICH IS NOT ENABLED UNLESS AN ADDITIONAL LICENSE IS PURCHASED BY CUSTOMER (EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 2b). Customer shall not enable, access or use the On Demand Software in a Product (a) except as set forth in Section 2b, or (b) unless a license to such On Demand Software is purchased by Customer from a Dealer or Bobcat. In the event Customer purchases a license to certain On Demand Software features, the license grant set forth in Section 2a applies to those On Demand Software features.
3. Use Restrictions. Customer may not: (i) decompile, reverse engineer, create derivate works from, disassemble, copy, adapt, translate, distribute or modify the Software, or attempt to derive or access the Software's source code; or (ii) resell, lease, sublicense or otherwise transfer or make the Software available to a third party, except as expressly permitted in this EULA. Customer shall not remove the Software from the Product or access the Software independently of Customer's use of the Product. Customer shall not permit the Software to be accessed or used by a competitor of Bobcat, and Customer shall not use, or attempt to use, the Software to create software or a product that competes with any Bobcat product, service or software. Customer is solely responsible for any use or misuse of the Software when the applicable Product is in its control or possession.
4. Ownership.
a. Ownership of Software. Software is licensed, not sold, by Bobcat. Bobcat and its licensors own all right, title and interest in and to, and retain ownership of, the Software, including all enhancements, derivative works, improvements and modifications thereto. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Software is proprietary to Bobcat and its licensors, and are protected under copyright law, trade secret law and other applicable laws governing confidential and proprietary information.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this EULA requires Bobcat to act on any Feedback provided by Customer.
d. Third-Party Materials. Nothing in this EULA shall be construed as transferring any right, title or interest in or to any third-party software or materials embedded in the Products ("Third-Party Materials") to Customer or to any third party. Third-Party Materials may be subject to additional third-party terms and conditions, which can be found at https://www.bobcat.com/oss.

Customer shall not refer to Bobcat in any marketing, promotional, advertisement, press release, website, or other similar or dissimilar materials.
5. Updates. BOBCAT MAY, BUT IS NOT REQUIRED TO, PROVIDE UPDATES TO THE SOFTWARE IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION. Customer will promptly install Updates made available by Bobcat to all Products in Customer's possession or control, or permit Bobcat to automatically install Updates. If Products with internet-connected functionality do not have an adequate internet connection, or if the internet-connected functionality is disrupted, Customer may not receive applicable Updates and therefore the Products may not work properly if Updates are not installed. In the event Customer does not promptly install Updates made available by Bobcat, or in the event Bobcat is unable to Update the Software due to inadequate internet access to the Product (as applicable), then Customer agrees to hold Bobcat harmless for all Claims and Losses arising related to the Products and Software that would have been avoided had the Software been Updated.
6. Termination for Cause. Bobcat may terminate this EULA upon Customer's failure to cure a material breach of this EULA if Customer fails to cure such material breach within thirty (30) days of the date that notice of such material breach is provided Bobcat. The license and all use rights granted in Section 2 of this EULA shall immediately terminate upon the termination of this EULA. In the event Bobcat terminates this EULA for cause, Customer must immediately stop using the Product and Software. Bobcat may, at its sole option, purchase back the Product from Customer at the then-current fair market value of the Product.
7. Sale of the Product. The license granted in this EULA is non-assignable and non-transferable by Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer may permanently transfer its rights under this EULA in connection with the sale or ownership transfer of the Product. If Customer sells or otherwise transfers ownership of the Product, Customer agrees that it will require such transferee to accept the terms of this EULA, without modification, on the date of sale or transfer of title of the applicable Product. No sale or other transfer will relieve Customer of any of its obligations or performance under this EULA. This EULA is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
8. Audit. Upon Bobcat's request, Bobcat, or a third-party on Bobcat's behalf, may audit Customer's compliance with the terms of this EULA. In the event Bobcat determines that Customer is noncompliant with any terms or conditions of this EULA, Bobcat may provide notice of termination for cause under Section 6 of this EULA.
