for communication with such product. This license may not be sublicensed, and is not
transferable except to a person or entity to which you transfer ownership of the complete
Linksys product containing the Software, provided you permanently transfer all rights under
this Agreement and do not retain any full or partial copies of the Software, and the recipient
agrees to the terms of this Agreement.
"Software" includes, and this Agreement will apply to (a) the software of Linksys or its suppliers
provided in or with the applicable Linksys product, and (b) any upgrades, updates, bug fixes or
modified versions ("Upgrades") or backup copies of the Software supplied to You by Linksys or

have paid any applicable fee for the Upgrade.

copyrighted materials of Linksys or its suppliers. You will not copy or modify the Software or
decompile, decrypt, reverse engineer or disassemble the Software (except to the extent
expressly permitted by law notwithstanding this provision), and You will not disclose or make

ownership of the Software and documentation and any portion thereof, will remain solely with
Linksys or its suppliers.
Collection and Processing of Information.
You agree that Linksys and/or its affiliates may,
from time to time, collect and process information about your Linksys product and/or the
Software and/or your use of either in order (i) to enable Linksys to offer you Upgrades; (ii) to
ensure that your Linksys product and/or the Software is being used in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement; (iii) to provide improvements to the way Linksys delivers technology
to you and to other Linksys customers; (iv) to enable Linksys to comply with the terms of any

Software Upgrades etc.
If the Software enables you to receive Upgrades, you may elect at any
time to receive these Upgrades either automatically or manually. If you elect to receive
Upgrades manually or you otherwise elect not to receive or be notified of any Upgrades, you
may expose your Linksys product and/or the Software to serious security threats and/or some
features within your Linksys product and/or Software may become inaccessible. There may be
circumstances where we apply an Upgrade automatically in order to comply with changes in
legislation, legal or regulatory requirements or as a result of requirements to comply with the
terms of any agreements Linksys has with any third parties regarding your Linksys product and/
or the Software. You will always be notified of any Upgrades being delivered to you. The terms
of this license will apply to any such Upgrade unless the Upgrade in question is accompanied
by a separate license, in which event the terms of that license will apply.
