(“VPG Medical”) for use only under the terms of this License. VPG Medical and its licensors retain ownership of the HealthKam Software itself and reserve all rights not expressly granted to you. You agree that the terms of this License will apply to any VPG Medical-branded app that may be pre-installed on your HealthKam Application, unless such app is accompanied by a separate license, in which case you agree that the terms of that license will govern your use of that app.

 

(b) VPG Medical, at its discretion, may make available future HealthKam Software Updates for your VPG Medical application. The HealthKam Software Updates, if any, may not necessarily include all existing software features or new features that VPG Medical releases for newer or other models of HealthKam Application. The terms of this License will govern any HealthKam Software Updates provided by VPG Medical that replace and/or supplement the Original HealthKam Software product, unless such HealthKam Software Update is accompanied by a separate license in which case the terms of that license will govern.

 

2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.

Except as permitted in Section 2(b) below, and except as provided in a separate agreement between you and VPG Medical, this License does not allow the HealthKam Software to exist on more than one HealthKam Application at a time, and you may not distribute or make the HealthKam Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at the same time. This License does not grant you any rights to use VPG Medical proprietary interfaces and other intellectual property in the design, development, manufacture, licensing or distribution of third party devices and accessories, or third party software applications, for use with HealthKam Application. Some of those rights are available under separate licenses from VPG Medical. 

 

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to download HealthKam Software Updates that may be made available by VPG Medical for your model of the VPG Medical application to update or restore the software on any such HealthKam Application that you own or control. This License does not allow you to update or restore any HealthKam Application that you do not control or own, and you may not distribute or make the HealthKam Software Updates available over a network where they could be used by multiple devices or multiple computers at the same time.

 

(c) You may not, and you agree not to or enable others to, copy (except as expressly permitted by this

License), decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, decrypt, modify, or create derivative works of the HealthKam Software or any services provided by the HealthKam Software or any part thereof (except as and only to the extent any foregoing restriction is prohibited by applicable law or by licensing terms governing use of open-source components that may be included with the HealthKam Software).

 

(d) The HealthKam Software may be used to reproduce materials so long as such use is limited to reproduction of non-copyrighted materials, materials in which you own the copyright, or materials you are authorized or legally permitted to reproduce. Title and intellectual property rights in and to any content displayed by, stored on or accessed through your HealthKam Application belong to the respective content owner. Such content may be protected by copyright or other intellectual property laws and treaties, and may be subject to terms of use of the third party providing such content.

Features of the HealthKam Software and the Services may not be available in all languages or regions, some features may vary by region, and some may be restricted or unavailable from your service provider.

(k) The HealthKam Application uses facial recognition to recognize a user and to make sure that pulse/heart rate data from the same person are being assessed.  By agreeing to this License, you are acknowledging and agreeing to the use of facial recognition features to recognize your face. Further, you acknowledge that if you allow or permit others to use an electronic device or computer on which your HealthKam Application is installed, that such application will record video and take photographs of such other user, and attempt to use facial recognition features to recognize such person’s identity.  You agree that VPG Medical shall have no liability toward these other users and with regard to any videos, images or data collected about them on your electronic device.
