Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Linksys grants the original end user
purchaser of the Linksys product containing the Software ("You") a nonexclusive license to use the
Software solely as embedded in or (where authorized in the applicable documentation) 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 an
authorized reseller, provided you already hold a valid license to the original software and have paid
any applicable fee for the Upgrade.
Protection of Information.
The Software and documentation contain trade secrets and/or
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 available such
trade secrets or copyrighted material in any form to any third party. Title to and 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

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.
