- (d) No Sale. While purchasing any Hardware will result in title to such items of Hardware passing to the Customer (i.e., the Customer owns the Hardware), the Customer’s access to and use of the Software is strictly pursuant to the applicable Licenses described in this Agreement, and does not constitute any form of sale, or transfer any rights of ownership to the Customer. No conduct, acts or omissions of either Customer or the Company shall be construed as altering the terms or conditions of any Licenses granted herein, or creating any form of transfer or sale of the Software. The Company expressly reserves all rights, title and interest in and to the Software and all related functionality.

Customer shall not make any copies of any source code unless Company previously approves the same in writing. The Customer expressly agrees that the Company’s source code contains intellectual property that the Company from which the Company derives independent financial benefit, and has taken significant and reasonable measures to keep secret, and as a result constitutes a trade secret pursuant to the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, as adopted in Washington, RCW 19.108, et seq.
