1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Use (these “Terms”) apply to the Talkbo website located at www.Talkbo.com, and all associated sites linked to www.Talkbo.com by Talkbo, its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Site”). The Site is the property of Talkbo, Inc. (“Talkbo”) and its licensors. These Terms also apply to various services (the “Services”) made available through or in connection with the Site, including, without limitation, the Skill Store. 

BY USING THE SITE, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS; IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE SITE.

Talkbo reserves the right to update the Terms at any time without notice to you. The most current version of the Terms can be reviewed by clicking on the “Terms” link located at the bottom of our Web pages.

2. Description of Services

Through the Site, Talkbo provides you with access to a variety of resources, including a customer portal, download areas, communication forums and product information (all, part of the Services). The Services also include the Talkbo “Skill Store,” and special terms apply to your use of the Skill Store, as set out below. If you are an “Owner” of any Talkbo-branded product (including, without limitation, a “Talkbo Robot”), you may designate a “Loop” of others who may be permitted to download software products and digital content (the “skills”) for use on the Talkbo Robot. 

The Services, including any updates, enhancements, new features, or the addition of any new web properties, are subject to these Terms.

3. Personal and Non-Commercial Use Limitation

Unless otherwise specified in writing, the Services are for your personal and non-commercial use only. You may not modify, copy, distribute, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer, or sell any information, software, products or services obtained from the Site.

4. Privacy and Protection of Personal Information

See Talkbo ’s Privacy Statement at www.Talkbo.com/legal/privacy for disclosures relating to the collection and use of your information. The Privacy Statement is incorporated in these Terms as though fully stated.

5. Owner and Loop Member Use

Each Talkbo Robot has one designated Owner. The Owner has administrative control over the robot, including access to skills that may run on the robot, but can share some of that control with designated Loop Members. Authorized Loop Members will be able to access the Skill Store for downloading and use of skills on Talkbo Robots. Every Loop Member must have a valid account with Talkbo (an “Account”) in order to transact on the Skill Store.

An Owner must be 18 years old or older and must have an eligible payment method registered with Talkbo. That payment method will be used for all Skill Store purchases for the Talkbo Robot, whether by the Owner or by an authorized Loop Member. If you are an Owner, you represent that you are the parent or legal guardian, or have obtained approval from the parent or legal guardian, of any Loop Member under age 13. Skills are associated with the account of the Owner and a particular Talkbo Robot.BY INVITING A PERSON TO JOIN A LOOP, THE OWNER AGREES THAT ALL LOOP MEMBER PURCHASES ARE AUTHORIZED BY AND ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER, EVEN IF THE OWNER WAS UNAWARE OF ANY PARTICULAR PURCHASE, OR IF A LOOP MEMBER EXCEEDED HIS OR HER AUTHORITY AS GRANTED BY THE OWNER. THE OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY AGREEMENT WITH ITS PAYMENT METHOD PROVIDER, AND ASSUMES ALL RISK IN THE EVENT THAT SHARING ACCESS TO SUCH PAYMENT METHOD LIMITS ANY PROTECTION OFFERED BY THE PAYMENT METHOD PROVIDER.

The Owner can change the payment method on file at any time. A record of each purchase will be sent to the Owner; please report a problem to Talkbo if you or your Loop Members do not recognize charges originating with Talkbo or the Skill Store.

The Owner may remove any Loop Member from the Loop at any time. Upon removal, all of the Loop Member’s rights to control the applicable Talkbo Robot and skills will terminate. However, skill downloads and other transactions initiated by the Loop Member prior to termination will remain indefinitely with the applicable Owner and Talkbo Robot(s).

You may belong to any number of Loops at a time. All members of the same Loop must use the same Skill Store country or region. Eligible skills can be downloaded and used for no additional cost on no more than three Talkbo Robots with the same Owner. Talkbo reserves the right to disband a Loop in accordance with the “Termination” section of this Agreement.

6. Electronic Contracting

Your use of the Services includes the ability to enter into agreements and to make transactions electronically. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS CONSTITUTE YOUR AGREEMENT AND INTENT TO BE BOUND BY AND TO PAY FOR SUCH AGREEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS. YOUR AGREEMENT AND INTENT TO BE BOUND BY ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS APPLIES TO ALL RECORDS RELATING TO ALL TRANSACTIONS YOU ENTER INTO ON THIS SITE, INCLUDING NOTICES OF CANCELLATION, POLICIES, CONTRACTS, AND SKILLS. In order to access and retain your electronic records, you may be required to have certain hardware and software, which are your sole responsibility.

7. Skill Store Terms

Talkbo is the provider of the Skill Store, the service that permits you to license the skills for end user use only under these Terms. This Section 7 sets out additional terms that apply to your purchase and use of skills through the Skill Store that is part of the Site.

7.1 Requirements for Use of the Skill Store

You must have a unique Account, either as an Owner or Loop Member, to use the Skill Store. Only those age 13 years or older can create accounts on their own. Children under the age of majority should review these Terms with their parent or guardian to ensure that the child and the parent or legal guardian understand them.

The Skill Store is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the Skill Store from outside these locations. Talkbo may use technologies to verify your compliance.

Use of the Skill Store requires compatible devices, Internet access, and certain software (fees may apply); may require periodic updates or on-demand download of content based on skill usage and resource constraints (which may use cellular data); and may be affected by the performance of these factors. High-speed Internet access is strongly recommended. The latest version of required software is recommended to access the Skill Store and may be required for certain transactions or features and to download skills previously purchased or acquired from the Skill Store. You agree that meeting these requirements, which may change from time to time, is your responsibility. The Skill Store is not part of any other product or offering, and no purchase or obtaining of any other product will be construed to represent or guarantee you access to the Skill Store.

7.2 Your Account

As a registered user of the Skill Store, you must establish an Account with Talkbo. Don’t reveal your Account information to anyone else. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Account, and for all activities that occur on or through your Account, and you agree to immediately notify Talkbo of any security breach of your Account. Talkbo will not be responsible for any losses arising out of the unauthorized use of your Account.

In order to purchase and download skills from the Skill Store, you must enter your Talkbo username and password to authenticate your Account for transactions. Once you have authenticated your Account using your Talkbo username and password (together, “Credentials”), you may not need to authenticate again for some period of time; during this time, you will be able to purchase and download skills without re-entering your Credentials.

You agree to provide accurate and complete information when you register with, and as you use, the Skill Store ("Skill Store Registration Data"), and you agree to update your Skill Store Registration Data to keep it accurate and complete. You agree that Talkbo may store and use the Skill Store Registration Data you provide for use in maintaining and billing fees to your Account.

7.3 Gift Certificates, Codes, Allowances, and Content Codes

Gift Certificates, Codes, Content Codes, and Allowances, in addition to unused balances, are not redeemable for cash and cannot be returned for a cash refund (except as required by law); exchanged; resold; used to purchase Gifts, Gift Certificates, or Codes; used to provide Allowances; used for purchases on the Skill Store. Unused balances are not transferable.

Gift Certificates, Codes, and Allowances purchased in the United States may be redeemed through the Services only in the United States, its territories, and possessions.

The Gift Certificate Code cash value is 1/10 of one cent.

Talkbo is not responsible for lost or stolen Gift Certificates, Codes, or Allowances. Risk of loss and title for Gift Certificates, Codes, and Allowances transmitted electronically pass to the purchaser in Massachusetts upon electronic transmission to the recipient. Risk of loss and title for Content Codes transmitted electronically pass in Massachusetts upon electronic transmission from Talkbo; for avoidance of doubt, such recipient may not always be you.

Talkbo reserves the right to close accounts and request alternative forms of payment if a Gift Certificate, Code, or Allowance is fraudulently obtained or used on the Service.

TALKBO AND ITS LICENSEES, AFFILIATES, AND LICENSORS MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO GIFT CERTIFICATES, CODES, CONTENT CODES, ALLOWANCES, OR THE SKILL STORE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN THE EVENT THAT A GIFT CERTIFICATE, CARD OR CODE, CONTENT CODE, OR ALLOWANCE IS NONFUNCTIONAL, YOUR SOLE REMEDY, AND OUR SOLE LIABILITY, SHALL BE THE REPLACEMENT OF SUCH GIFT CERTIFICATE, CODE, OR ALLOWANCE. THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. CERTAIN STATE LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

7.4 Gifts

Gifts purchased from the Services may be purchased only for, and redeemed only by, authorized Owners or Loop Members. Gift recipients must have compatible hardware and parental control settings to utilize some gifts.

7.5 Automatic Delivery and Downloading Previous Purchases

When you first acquire skills through the Skill Store (collectively, “Eligible Content”), you must select a specific Talkbo Robot to which the skill will be downloaded. If you are the Owner of multiple Talkbo Robots, you may be able to download the skills on up to three of those robots so long as all of the robots are under the same Account (each, an “Associated Robot”). Skills will be downloaded automatically to the selected Talkbo Robots.

After you get Eligible Content, you may download certain of such previously-acquired Eligible Content onto any Associated Robot, so long as the total downloads per skill and per Account do not exceed applicable download limits. Some Eligible Content that you previously acquired may not be available for subsequent download at any given time, and Talkbo will have no liability to you in such event.

A Talkbo Robot can be associated with only one Owner at any given time. You may switch a Talkbo Robot to a different Owner only once every 90 days.

7.6 Automatic Delivery of Updates

Your Talkbo Robot will periodically check with the Skill Store for updates to the skills on your robot and, if available, the update may automatically download and install. Certain skills may also download additional content, such as game levels or chapters, on an on-going basis based on usage and resource constraints. You agree that Talkbo, through the Skill Store, may automatically download and install updates and content onto your Talkbo Robot(s). To prevent the download of on-demand content within a skill, delete the skill from your Talkbo Robot.

7.7 Use of Skills and the Skill Store

The Skill Store and certain skills may include security technology that limits your use of skills. Whether or not skills are limited by security technology, you must use skills in compliance with the applicable usage rules established by Talkbo (“Usage Rules”), and that any other use of the skills may constitute a copyright infringement. Any security technology is an inseparable part of the skills. Talkbo reserves the right to modify the Usage Rules at any time. You agree not to violate, circumvent, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise tamper with any of the security technology related to such Usage Rules for any reason—or to attempt or assist another person to do so. Usage Rules may be controlled and monitored by Talkbo for compliance purposes, and Talkbo reserves the right to enforce the Usage Rules without notice to you. You agree not to access the Skill Store by any means other than through software that is provided by Talkbo for accessing the Skill Store. You may not access or attempt to access an Account that you are not authorized to access. You may not modify the software in any manner or form, or to use modified versions of the software, for any purposes including obtaining unauthorized access to the Skill Store. Violations of system or network security may result in civil or criminal liability.

If Talkbo changes any part of or discontinues the Skill Store, which Talkbo may do at its election, you may not be able to use skills to the same extent as prior to such change or discontinuation, and Talkbo shall have no liability to you in such case.

7.8 Third-Party Materials

Certain content, skills, and services available via the Skill Store may include materials from third parties. Talkbo may provide links to third-party websites as a convenience to you. You agree that Talkbo is not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy and Talkbo does not warrant and will not have any liability or responsibility for any third-party materials or websites, or for any other materials, products, or services of third parties. You agree that you will not use any third-party materials in a manner that would infringe or violate the rights of any other party and that Talkbo is not in any way responsible for any such use by you.

7.9 Skill Store Ratings

All skills will be rated. The ratings are:

Ages 3+
Skills in this category are family friendly and are suitable for people of all ages.

Ages 13+
Skills in this category may not be suitable for young children, and may occasionally have some mild violence, mature or suggestive material, and may require use of an account on a non-Talkbo product.

Ages 18+
Skills in this category are suitable for adults only, and include offensive language, and may include explicit or reference to violence, suggestive material, alcohol, and dugs at minimum. These skills may also require use of a valid account or credit card on a non-Talkbo product.

By default, you will be required to enter a Restricted Access PIN to use any skill rated 13+ or higher (for older audiences). The Owner sets the Restricted Access PIN for the owner’s robot(s). It is your responsibility to safeguard your Restricted Access PIN so minors cannot access 13+ rated material without your explicit permission. Notwithstanding the ratings, you understand that by using the Skill Store, you may encounter material that you may deem to be offensive, indecent, or objectionable, and that such content may or may not be identified as having explicit material. In any case, you agree to use the Skill Store at your sole risk and Talkbo shall have no liability to you for material that may be found to be offensive, indecent, or objectionable. skill ratings, types and descriptions are provided for convenience, and you agree that Talkbo does not guarantee their accuracy.

8. License of Skills

The software products made available through the Skill Store (the skills) are licensed, not sold, to you. There are two categories of skills, as follows: (i) those skills that have been developed, and are licensed to you, by Talkbo (“Talkbo Products”), and (ii) those skills that have been developed, and are licensed to you, by a third-party developer (“Third-Party Products”). The category of a particular skill (Talkbo Product or Third-Party Product) is identified on the Skill Store.

Your license to each skill is subject to the Licensed skill End User License Agreement set forth below, and you agree that such terms will apply unless the skill is covered by a valid end user license agreement entered into between you and the licensor of that skill (the “Skill Provider”), in which case the Skill Provider’s end user license agreement will apply to that skill. The Skill Provider reserves all rights in and to the skill not expressly granted to you.

You acknowledge that the license to each Talkbo Product that you obtain through the Skill Store, as defined below, or you associate with your Account, is a binding agreement between you and Talkbo. You acknowledge that: you are acquiring the license to each Third-Party Product from the Skill Provider; Talkbo is acting as agent for the Skill Provider in providing each such Third-Party Product to you; and Talkbo is not a party to the license between you and the Skill Provider with respect to that Third-Party Product. The Skill Provider of each Third-Party Product is solely responsible for that Third-Party Product, the content therein, any warranties to the extent that such warranties have not been disclaimed, and any claims that you or any other party may have relating to that Third-Party Product.

You acknowledge and agree that Talkbo and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of the Licensed Skill End User License Agreement or the Skill Provider’s end user license agreement, as the case may be, for each Third-Party Product. You also agree that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of the license to any such Third-Party Product, Talkbo will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce such license against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

8.1 Important Safety Information

To avoid muscle, joint, or eye strain during video game play, you should always take frequent breaks from playing, and take a longer rest if you experience any soreness, fatigue, or discomfort. A very small percentage of people may experience seizures or blackouts when exposed to flashing lights or patterns, including while playing video games or watching videos. Symptoms may include dizziness, nausea, involuntary movements, loss of awareness, altered vision, tingling, numbness, or other discomforts. Consult a doctor before playing video games if you have ever suffered these or similar symptoms, and stop playing immediately and see a doctor if they occur during game play. Parents should monitor their children’s video game play for signs of symptoms.

Skill Maintenance and Support

Talkbo will be responsible for providing any maintenance and support services with respect to the Talkbo Products only, as specified in the Licensed Skill End User License Agreement or the separate end user license agreement, as the case may be, or as required under applicable law. The Skill Provider of any Third-Party Product will be solely responsible for providing maintenance and support services with respect to that Product, as specified in the Licensed Skill End User License Agreement or the Skill Provider end user license agreement, as the case may be, or as required under applicable law.

8.3 Licensed Skill End User License Agreement

The skills made available through the Skill Store (collectively, “Skill Store Service(s)”) are licensed, not sold, to you. Your license to each skill that you obtain through the Skill Store or associate with your Account is subject to your prior acceptance of this Licensed Skill End User License Agreement (“Standard EULA”), and you agree that the terms of this Standard EULA will apply to each skill that you license through the Skill Store Service, unless that skill is covered by a valid end user license agreement between you and the Skill Provider of that skill, in which case the terms of that separate end user license agreement will govern. Your license to any Talkbo Product under this Standard EULA or separate end user license agreement is granted by Talkbo, and your license to any Third-Party Product under this Standard EULA or separate end user license agreement is granted by the Skill Provider of that Third-Party Product. Any skill that is subject to the license granted under this Standard EULA is referred to herein as the “Licensed Skill.” The Skill Provider or Talkbo as applicable (“Licensor”) reserves all rights in and to the Licensed Skill not expressly granted to you under this Standard EULA.

a. Scope of License: This license granted to you for the Licensed Skill by Licensor is limited to a nontransferable license to use the Licensed Skill on any Talkbo-branded products (collectively, “Talkbo Robot(s)”) that you own or control and as permitted by the usage rules set forth in the Skill Store Terms and Conditions (the “Usage Rules”). This license does not allow you to use the Licensed Skill on any Talkbo Robot that you do not own or control, and except as provided in the Usage Rules, you may not distribute or make the Licensed Skill available over a network where it could be used by multiple robots at the same time. You may not rent, lease, lend, sell, transfer redistribute, or sublicense the Licensed Skill and, if you sell your Talkbo Robot to a third party, you must remove the Licensed Skill from the Talkbo Robot before doing so. You may not copy (except as expressly permitted by this license and the Usage Rules), decompile, reverse-engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, modify, or create derivative works of the Licensed Skill, any updates, or any part thereof (except as and only to the extent that any foregoing restriction is prohibited by applicable law or to the extent as may be permitted by the licensing terms governing use of any open-sourced components included with the Licensed Skill). Any attempt to do so is a violation of the rights of the Licensor and its licensors. If you breach this restriction, you may be subject to prosecution and damages.

The terms of this license will govern any upgrades provided by Licensor that replace or supplement the original Licensed Skill, unless such upgrade is accompanied by a separate license in which case the terms of that license will govern.

b. Consent to Use of Data: You agree that Licensor may collect and use technical data and related information—including but not limited to technical information about your robot, system and application software, and peripherals—that is gathered periodically to facilitate the provision of software updates, product support, and other services to you (if any) related to the Licensed Skill. Licensor may use this information, as long as it is in a form that does not personally identify you, to improve its products or to provide services or technologies to you.

c. Termination. The license is effective until terminated by you or Licensor. Your rights under this license will terminate automatically without notice from the Licensor if you fail to comply with any term(s) of this license. Upon termination of the license, you shall cease all use of the Licensed Skill and destroy all copies, full or partial, of the Licensed Skill.

d. External Services; Third-Party Materials. The Licensed Skill may enable access to Licensor’s or third-party services and websites (collectively and individually, "External Services"). Use of the External Services requires Internet access and use of certain External Services requires you to accept additional terms. By using this software in connection with a Talkbo Robot, you agree to the latest Talkbo End User License Agreement, which you may access and review at Talkbo.com/legal/eula.

You understand that by using any of the External Services, you may encounter content that may be deemed offensive, indecent, or objectionable, which content may or may not be identified as having explicit language, and that the results of any search or entering of a particular URL may automatically and unintentionally generate links or references to objectionable material. Nevertheless, you agree to use the External Services at your sole risk and that neither the Licensor nor its agents shall have any liability to you for content that may be found to be offensive, indecent, or objectionable.

Certain External Services may display, include or make available content, data, information, applications or materials from third parties (“Third Party Materials”) or provide links to certain third party websites. By using the External Services, you acknowledge and agree that neither the Licensor nor its agents is responsible for examining or evaluating the content, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, validity, copyright compliance, legality, decency, quality or any other aspect of such Third Party Materials or websites. Neither the Licensor nor its agents warrant or endorse and does not assume and will not have any liability or responsibility to you or any other person for any third-party services, Third Party Materials or websites, or for any other materials, products, or services of third parties. Third Party Materials and links to other websites are provided solely as a convenience to you.

Financial information displayed by any External Services is for general informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as investment advice. Before executing any securities transaction based upon information obtained through the External Services, you should consult with a financial or securities professional who is legally qualified to give financial or securities advice in your country or region. Medical information displayed by any skill or External Service is for general information purposes only and should not be relied upon for medical diagnostic or treatment advice except as directed by a doctor. You should consult with a medical professional before relying on medical information available in a skill. Location data provided by any External Services is for basic navigational purposes only and is not intended to be relied upon in situations where precise location information is needed or where erroneous, inaccurate, time-delayed or incomplete location data may lead to death, personal injury, property or environmental damage. Neither the Licensor, nor its agents, nor any of its content providers guarantees the availability, accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of stock information, location data or any other data displayed by any External Services.

You agree that the External Services contain proprietary content, information and material that is owned by Licensor or its agents or licensors, and is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws, including but not limited to copyright, and that you will not use such proprietary content, information or materials in any way whatsoever except for permitted use of the External Services or in any manner that is inconsistent with the terms of this Standard EULA or that infringes any intellectual property rights of a third party or Talkbo.

16. Materials Provided to Talkbo or Posted at The Site

Talkbo does not claim ownership of the materials you provide to Talkbo (including feedback and suggestions) or post, upload, input or submit to any Services or its associated services for review by the general public, or by the members of any public or private community, (each a "Submission" and collectively "Submissions"). However, by posting, uploading, inputting, providing or submitting ("Posting") your Submission you are granting Talkbo, its affiliated companies and necessary sublicensees permission to use your Submission in connection with the operation of their businesses (including, without limitation, all Talkbo Services and Talkbo-branded hardware), including, without limitation, the license rights to: copy, distribute, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, reproduce, edit, translate and reformat your Submission; to publish your name in connection with your Submission; and the right to sublicense such rights to any supplier of the Services.

Talkbo is under no obligation to post or use any Submission you may provide and Talkbo may remove any Submission at any time in its sole discretion. Talkbo will only use your Submissions publicly to the extent that your original Submissions were intended not to be private.

By Posting a Submission you warrant and represent that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to your Submission as described in these Terms including, without limitation, all the rights necessary for you to provide, post, upload, input or submit the Submissions.

In addition to the warranty and representation set forth above, by Posting a Submission that contain images, photographs, pictures or files that are otherwise graphical in whole or in part ("Images"), you warrant and represent that (a) you are the copyright owner of such Images, or that the copyright owner of such Images has granted you permission to use such Images consistent with the manner and purpose of your use and as otherwise permitted by these Terms and the Services, (b) you have the rights necessary to grant the licenses and sublicenses described in these Terms, and (c) that each person depicted in such Images, if any, has provided consent to the use of the Images as set forth in these Terms, including, by way of example, and not as a limitation, the distribution, public display and reproduction of such Images.

17. Disputes

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Site, Services, or Skill Store will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Conditions of Use as a court would.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent,

Talkbo will not seek attorneys' fees and costs from you in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
