2. Scope

The parties may agree to specific terms in an Order document. In the event of conflict between this License Agreement and an Order document, the Order shall prevail.
3. License and Limitations
3.1 License types
Subject to Licensee's full compliance with this License Agreement and payment of all applicable fees, INCAR Robotics AB grants Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable and non-sublicensable license to access and use the INCAR Stack during the applicable subscription term in accordance with the license type purchased by Licensee. For the avoidance of doubt, no license granted under this License Agreement includes any right to sell, resell, license, sublicense, distribute or otherwise make the INCAR Stack itself available to any third party, except to the extent expressly agreed by INCAR Robotics in writing.
3.2 Commercial License
If Licensee purchases a Commercial Standard License, Licensee may use, reproduce, modify, adapt and deploy the INCAR Stack for Licensee's internal business purposes and for commercial use delivery of trained skills, integrations, solutions or work product created using the INCAR Stack, subject to the restrictions in this License Agreement. Use is limited to the number of authorized seats purchased by Licensee.
3.3 Commercial Enterprise License
If Licensee purchases a Commercial Enterprise License, Licensee may use, reproduce, modify, adapt and deploy the INCAR Stack for Licensee's internal business purposes and for commercial delivery of trained skills, integrations, solutions or work product created using the INCAR Stack, subject to the restrictions in this License Agreement. A Commercial Enterprise License permits use by an unlimited number of Licensee's internal authorized users during the applicable subscription term, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Order.
3.4 Academic License
If Licensee purchases or is granted an Academic License, Licensee may use, reproduce, modify and adapt the INCAR Stack solely for academic research, education and other strictly non-commercial purposes. The Academic License may not be used, directly or indirectly, for commercial activities, commercial services, commercial product development, paid consulting, contract research for commercial benefit, or any other for-profit purpose.
3.5 License controls
Licensee shall not circumvent, disable, defeat, interfere with or otherwise work around any license control, access control, usage restriction, technical protection measure or other technical limitation of the INCAR Stack, including any mechanism that limits training, retraining, fine-tuning, data collection or other functionality based on license status.
3.6 Seat usage
The Academic and Commercial, but not Commercial Enterprise, license is based on a per seat usage, and additional seats can be ordered at any time. It is the responsibility of Licensee to ensure that it is correctly licensed throughout the license term, and that it does not exceed its number of licensed seats.
3.7 Documentation
All right, title and interest in and to the documentation, including all copyrights therein, shall remain vested in INCAR Robotics and its licensors.
3.8 Open-source and copyleft restrictions
Licensee shall not publish, distribute, contribute, combine, integrate, link, embed, adapt or otherwise use the INCAR Stack in any manner that would require the INCAR Stack, or any source code, object code, modifications or derivative works of the INCAR Stack, to be disclosed, licensed, made available or distributed in source code form under any open-source, copyleft, reciprocal or similar license terms. This restriction does not prevent Licensee from separately developing its own independent code outside the INCAR Stack and licensing such independent code under any terms of its choosing, provided that such action does not require disclosure, relicensing or open-sourcing of any part of the INCAR Stack.
3.9 Similar products
Licensee shall not use any information derived from the INCAR Stack to develop or market any products of its own which are substantially similar in its function to any part of the INCAR Stack.

Licensee shall not use the INCAR Stack in any manner except as permitted in this License Agreement or by prior written authorization by INCAR Robotics. It is understood that Licensee shall not acquire and shall not claim any right, title or interest in or to any such intellectual property rights or goodwill pertaining thereto by virtue of its activities hereunder or by any other reason.
Licensee retains ownership of its own pre-existing code, data, content and materials that it independently creates and uses with the INCAR Stack. Subject to the foregoing, INCAR Robotics does not claim ownership of Licensee's separate code or content solely by virtue of Licensee's permitted use of the INCAR Stack.
If Licensee should challenge INCAR Robotics' ownership to or the validity of any intellectual property rights relating to the INCAR Stack then INCAR Robotics shall have the right, upon giving written notice to Licensee, to terminate the license with immediate effect.
In the event that any infringement of INCAR Robotics' patents, trademarks or other intellectual property rights comes to Licensee's notice, Licensee shall immediately inform INCAR Robotics thereof and assist INCAR Robotics, at INCAR Robotics' expense, in any actions that INCAR Robotics deems appropriate. Further, Licensee will give INCAR Robotics all necessary assistance in taking any measures required to protect INCAR Robotics' title to the INCAR Stack.
