Subject to the terms of this Agreement, CloudBees grants to Customer a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited, internal license to Use the Products and Documentation on computers owned or leased by Customer for a time-limited period, determined solely by CloudBees (“Evaluation Period”), solely to evaluate the features, functionality and performance of the Products and Documentation, but only in accordance with (i) the Documentation and (ii) this Agreement. This Evaluation License is strictly limited to internal evaluation and testing or other non-production purposes only. Any other use of Products is prohibited. CloudBees may require the installation of specific CloudBees’ solutions as a condition of Customer’s Use of the Products. At the end of the Evaluation Period, the Products may cease to function. CloudBees does not provide any support or subscription services for the Products under the Evaluation. Customer has no rights to any updates, upgrades or extensions or enhancements to the Products developed by CloudBees, unless it separately purchases CloudBees subscription services.

Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Customer will cease all use of the Products and Documentation and, upon CloudBees’ request, certify to CloudBees that the Products and Documentation are no longer in use by or on behalf of Customer. Termination will not affect any claim, liability or right arising prior to termination.
