Interoperability and Compatibility. + +Licensee agrees to maintain the features within the Licensed Technology that +provide for interoperability between systems and compatibility with previous and +future release versions of the FIT protocol. Any Modifications are permissible +only if the interoperability of the FIT protocol is maintained. + + +4. Confidentiality. + +In connection with this Agreement, Garmin may disclose or make available +Confidential Information to Licensee. "Confidential Information" means +information in any form or medium (whether oral, written, electronic or other) +that: (a) if disclosed in writing or other tangible form or medium, is marked +"confidential" or "proprietary"; or (b) if disclosed orally or in another +intangible form or medium, is identified by Garmin as confidential or +proprietary when disclosed and later summarized and marked "confidential" or +"proprietary" in writing by Garmin. Without limiting the foregoing, the Licensed +Technology is Confidential Information of Garmin. + +Confidential Information does not include information that Licensee can +demonstrate by written or other documentary records: (1) was rightfully known to +Licensee without restriction on use or disclosure prior to such information +being disclosed or made available to Licensee in connection with this Agreement; +(2) was or becomes generally known by the public other than by Licensee's +noncompliance with this Agreement; (3) was or is received by Licensee on a +non-confidential basis from a third party that was not or is not under any +obligation to maintain its confidentiality; or (4) was independently developed +by Licensee without reference to or use of any Confidential Information. + +Licensee shall: (A) not access or use Confidential Information other than as +necessary to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under and in +accordance with this Agreement; (B) safeguard the Confidential Information from +unauthorized use, access or disclosure using at least the degree of care it uses +to protect its sensitive information and in no event less than a reasonable +degree of care; and (C) promptly notify Garmin of any unauthorized use or +disclosure of Confidential Information and take all reasonable steps to prevent +further unauthorized use or disclosure. If Licensee is compelled by applicable +law to disclose any Confidential Information then, to the extent permitted by +applicable law, Licensee will: (i) promptly, and prior to such disclosure, +notify Garmin in writing of such requirement so that Garmin can, at Garmin's +option, seek a protective order or other remedy or waive its rights under this +paragraph; and (ii), at Garmin's expense, provide reasonable assistance to +Garmin in opposing such disclosure or seeking a protective order or other +limitations on disclosure. Subject to the preceding sentence, Licensee will +disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that, on the advice +of legal counsel, Licensee is legally required to disclose and, on Garmin's +request, will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances from the +applicable court or other presiding authority that such Confidential Information +will be afforded confidential treatment. + + +5. License to Feedback and Modifications. +If you provide any Feedback to Garmin or if you create any Modifications: (a) +you grant to Garmin a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, +sublicensable, perpetual and irrevocable license to use and otherwise exploit +such Feedback or Modifications in connection with any Garmin products, +applications and services; (b) Garmin shall be free to use, disclose, reproduce, +distribute and otherwise commercialize all Feedback that you provide or +Modifications you create without obligation or restriction of any kind on +account of intellectual property rights or otherwise; (c) you waive all rights +to be compensated or seek compensation for your Feedback or Modifications; and +(d) Feedback or Modifications, even if marked confidential, shall not create any +confidentiality obligations on Garmin. + + +6. No Warranties. +LICENSEE AGREES THAT THE USE OF THE LICENSED TECHNOLOGY IS PROVIDED "AS IS", +WITHOUT TECHNICAL SUPPORT FROM GARMIN AND WITH ALL FAULTS AND DEFECTS WITHOUT +WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, +GARMIN MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND THAT THE LICENSED TECHNOLOGY, OR ANY +PRODUCTS OR RESULTS OF THE USE THEREOF, WILL MEET LICENSEE'S OR OTHER PERSONS' +REQUIREMENTS, OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, ACHIEVE ANY INTENDED RESULT, BE +COMPATIBLE OR WORK WITH ANY SOFTWARE, SYSTEMS, OR OTHER SERVICES, OR BE SECURE, +ACCURATE, COMPLETE, FREE OF HARMFUL CODE OR ERROR FREE. + + +7. Indemnification; Licensee's Responsibility. + +Licensee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Garmin and its officers, +directors, shareholders, managers, members, partners, employees, agents, +subcontractors, successors and assigns for all losses, damages, deficiencies, +claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, +costs or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorneys' fees and the +costs of enforcing any right to indemnification hereunder, arising out of or +related to (a) Licensee's breach of this Agreement, (b) Licensee's use of the +Licensed Technology or (c) Modifications or Licensee's services, designs and/or +products that are related to the Licensee's use of the Licensed Technology. +Licensee is responsible and liable for all uses of the Licensed Technology +through access thereto provided or enabled by Licensee, directly or indirectly. + + +8. Limitation of Liability. + +TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL GARMIN, +OR ANY OF ITS LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS OR SUPPLIERS, BE LIABLE UNDER OR IN +CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ITS SUBJECT MATTER UNDER ANY LEGAL OR +EQUITABLE THEORY, INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), +STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY (A) INCREASED COSTS, DIMINUTION IN VALUE +OR LOST BUSINESS, PRODUCTION, REVENUES OR PROFITS, (B) LOSS OF GOODWILL OR +REPUTATION, (C) USE, INABILITY TO USE, LOSS, INTERRUPTION, DELAY OR RECOVERY OF +ANY LICENSED TECHNOLOGY, (D) LOSS, DAMAGE, CORRUPTION OR RECOVERY OF DATA, OR +BREACH OF DATA OR SYSTEM SECURITY, (E) COST OF REPLACEMENT GOODS OR SERVICES OR +(F) CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, ENHANCED OR +PUNITIVE DAMAGES, IN EACH CASE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER GARMIN WAS ADVISED OF THE +POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES OR SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES WERE OTHERWISE +FORESEEABLE. IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF GARMIN TO LICENSEE +ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO +BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER +LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, EXCEED $100. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF +ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. + + +9. Term and Termination. + +If Licensee breaches any of the terms of this Agreement, Garmin may immediately +terminate this Agreement. In addition, Garmin or Licensee may terminate this +Agreement with or without cause upon delivery of 30 days' written notice to the +other party. + +Upon any such termination, (a) all rights of Licensee under this Agreement +(including the license granted to Licensee hereunder) shall cease, (b) Licensee +must immediately stop use of (including product development of devices relating +to) the Licensed Technology and (c) Licensee shall delete all copies of the +Licensed Technology and any Confidential Information; provided, however, +Licensee shall not be required to delete electronic copies of Confidential +Information generated automatically by archival or data backup systems, so long +as such copies are not accessed or used in any manner that violates the terms or +conditions of this Agreement. Any information retained pursuant to the preceding +sentence will continue to receive the protections of Confidential Information +hereunder. Upon request by Garmin, Licensee will certify to Garmin in writing +that it has complied with the requirements of this paragraph. + +All rights, obligations or provisions under this Agreement that, by their +nature, should survive termination or expiration of this Agreement will survive +any expiration or termination of this Agreement, including Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, +8, 9, and 11. + + +10. No Support; Updates. + +This Agreement does not entitle Licensee to any support for the Licensed +Technology. Licensee acknowledges that Garmin may update or modify the Licensed +Technology from time to time and at Garmin's sole discretion (in each instance, +an "Update"), and may require Licensee to obtain and use the most recent version +of the Licensed Technology. Licensee is required to make any changes to +Licensee's products, services, operating environment, equipment or other +property that are required for integration as a result of such Update at +Licensee's sole cost and expense. Licensee's continued use of the Licensed +Technology following an Update constitutes Licensee's binding acceptance of the +Update. + + +11. Miscellaneous. + +a. Relationship of the Parties. The relationship between Garmin and Licensee is +that of independent contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be +construed as creating any agency, partnership, joint venture or other form of +joint enterprise, employment or fiduciary relationship between the parties, and +neither party shall have authority to contract for or bind the other party in +any manner whatsoever. + +b. Notices. Any notice, request, consent, claim, demand, waiver or other +communication under this Agreement will only have legal effect if in writing. +Licensee must send all such notices or other communications in writing to Garmin +at the following address: 1200 East 151st Street, Olathe, Kansas 66062, +Attention: Legal Department. All such notices will be deemed effectively given: +(1) when received, if delivered by hand, with signed confirmation of receipt; +(2) when received, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier, +signature required; and (3) on the fifth day after the date mailed by certified +or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Notwithstanding +the foregoing, Licensee hereby consents to receiving electronic communications +from Garmin. Licensee agrees that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other +communications that Garmin sends to Licensee electronically will satisfy any +legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in +writing. + +c. Severability. Licensee agrees that if any part of this Agreement is found to +be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining terms will remain in effect +for the Licensee and for Garmin. On such determination that any term or other +provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, Garmin and Licensee shall +negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original +intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in +order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally +contemplated to the greatest extent possible. + +d. Governing Law and Forum Selection. This Agreement shall be governed by the +laws of the state of Kansas, without regard to any conflicts of laws principles. +The parties agree that any dispute arising out of this Agreement shall be +litigated in the federal or state courts in the state of Kansas. The parties +hereby agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts. THE PARTIES +HEREBY WAIVE A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF THIS +AGREEMENT. + +e. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement of +the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and +supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, +representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such +subject matter. + +f. Assignment. Licensee shall not assign this Agreement, whether voluntarily, +involuntarily, by operation of law, by merger or otherwise, without Garmin's +prior written consent. For purposes of this Agreement, a change of control will +be deemed an assignment. No assignment, delegation or transfer will relieve +Licensee of any of its obligations or performance under this Agreement. Any +purported assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Section is +void. This Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of the parties +hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. + +g. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by Garmin in its +sole discretion. Licensee is responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar +with any such amendment. Licensee's continued use of the Licensed Technology +after such amendment signifies Licensee's agreement to and acceptance of this +Agreement, as amended. Any other attempt to alter or amend these terms and +conditions will be null and void, unless otherwise agreed to in a written +agreement signed by both Licensee and Garmin. + +h. Force Majeure. In no event will Garmin be liable or responsible to Licensee, +or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure +or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement when and to the +extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond Garmin's +reasonable control, including acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake or explosion, +war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, embargoes or blockades, +national or regional emergency, epidemics, pandemics, diseases, strikes, labor +stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, passage or change of +law or any other action taken by a governmental or public authority, including +imposing an export or import restriction, quota, quarantine restrictions or +other restriction or prohibition or any complete or partial government shutdown. + +i. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly set forth herein, this +Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective +successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein is intended to or will +confer on any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or +remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. + +j. Waiver. No waiver by either party of any of the provisions hereof is +effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so +waiving. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, +power or privilege arising from this Agreement will operate or be construed as +a waiver thereof; nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, +power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or +the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. + +k. Equitable Relief. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that a breach or +threatened breach by Licensee of any of its obligations under this Agreement +would cause Garmin irreparable harm for which monetary damages may not be an +adequate remedy and that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, +Garmin will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a restraining order, +an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available +from any court of competent jurisdiction, without any requirement to post a bond +or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not +an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all +other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise. + + +Last updated: October 12, 2022 \ No newline at end of file
