In the exercise of this license, Customer shall not (and shall not allow any third party or Affiliate to): (a) remove any copyright or other proprietary notices contained in the Free Software; or (b) use the Free Software or any modified version or derivative work of the Free Software in connection with any open source version of a MuleSoft product or a product competitive with a MuleSoft product. Customer shall defend MuleSoft against any third party claim that any modification or derivative work made by Customer to the Free Software infringes such third party’s patent or copyright (but only to the extent that such alleged infringement would not have existed but for such modification or the creation of such derivative work), and indemnify MuleSoft from the resulting costs and damages awarded against MuleSoft; provided that MuleSoft notifies Customer promptly in writing of such claim, grants Customer sole control over the defense and settlement thereof, and reasonably cooperates with Customer’s request for assistance.

Except for the limited license granted in Section 1, MuleSoft and its suppliers have and will retain all right, title and interest in and to the Free Software (including, without limitation, all patent, copyright, trade secret and other intellectual property rights) and all copies, modifications and derivative works thereof created by MuleSoft.

3. Term of Agreement; Termination; Survival.

This Agreement is effective as of the date of Customer’s acceptance as described above and shall be perpetual, provided that, MuleSoft may terminate this Agreement if Customer fails to cure any material breach within thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach. Termination is not an exclusive remedy. Upon termination, Customer shall cease using the Free Software. Sections 2-6 and the negative covenants in Section 1 shall survive termination.
