Passwords are not transferable. When Licensee becomes aware that a user will no longer need a password, for any reason, Licensee agrees to immediately notify Licensor that the password is no longer active.

Each party shall use no less than the same means it uses to protect its similar confidential and proprietary information, but in any event not less than reasonable means, to prevent the disclosure and to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the other party. Each party agrees that it will not disclose or use the Confidential Information of the other party to any other person or entity except as necessary enCodePlus Software License Page 8 of 10 02.08.2018 ENCODE �_.► CODE PUBLISHING SYSTEM 1415 Highway 6 South, Suite D-100 Sugar Land, Texas 77478 for the purposes of this Agreement.
