Licensor grants to User a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free licence (without the right to sub-license) to use the Technology solely for the Purpose, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the “Purpose” means User’s internal research and (subject to the prohibitions stated in the next sentence) development of its business, in each case relating to the economic evaluation of health impacts attributable to the urban environment. Use of the Technology by User to provide a bureau or consultancy service is prohibited under this Agreement and User may not transfer, provide, or provide access to the Technology, in whole or in part, to any third party.

For clarity, this restriction shall not extend to calculations arising from User’s use of the Technology or any data or information which the User themself inputs into to the HAUS model in order to produce those calculations.
3. “LOCKED” SHEETS/CELLS
User acknowledges that Licensor has deliberately ‘locked’ access to certain individual Sheets or Cells in the HAUS model so as to make them inaccessible to User (as User does not need access to these to be able to use the Technology as intended) and User must not attempt to access or modify those Sheets and Cells or their content in any way whatsoever.
