Licensee shall not directly or indirectly disclose, share or distribute any ESI to any third-party for any reason without AudiGOA’s advance written consent. Licensee shall only use the ESI for the conduct of Licensee’s own business. Licensee shall not copy all or part of the ESI without AudiGOA’s written permission. Additional conditions for this License, including system set up requirements and payment terms, are stated on the erWin webshop homepage under the "Step by Step" heading.

AudiGOA shall have the right to control the defense of all such claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. Licensee shall not settle any claim, lawsuit or proceeding without AudiGOA’s prior written approval.
