UBC shall provide the Software to the Licensee in executable form forthwith upon execution of this Agreement.
3. Ownership
UBC retains all property, right, title, and interest in and to the Software and Documentation, including, without limitation, all trade-marks, trade names, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights in the Software and Documentation.

This License is in force until terminated. This License will be terminated automatically if the Licensee fails to abide by any provisions of this Agreement, or if any petition, assignment or proposal is made against or by the Licensee under the Bankruptcy Act or if the Licensee is adjudged bankrupt, or makes an assignment for the benefit of his/its creditors. Upon termination, the Licensee shall return to UBC or destroy all copies of the Software and Documentation. Notwithstanding the termination of this License, Article 9 herein shall remain in full force and effect.
8. Up-date Policy
UBC may produce, from time to time, modifications and/or updates of the Software and/or Documentation. Such modifications and updates may be made available to the Licensee subject to payment of an appropriate fee. However, any such modifications and/or updates will only become available as they are developed, and UBC cannot and does not commit to the development of such modifications and/or updates on any particular schedule.
9. Confidentiality
All information, documentation, or object code which UBC may have imparted, or may from time to time impart to the Licensee relating to the Software or Documentation is proprietary and confidential.

10. Limited Warranty
(a) The Licensee acknowledges that software in general is not error free and agrees that the existence of such errors in the Software or the Documentation shall not constitute a breach of this License.
(b) In the event that the Licensee discovers that the medium on which the Software resides is defective in materials or workmanship under normal use and notifies UBC of the defect within 90 days of the execution of this Agreement, then UBC shall provide a new copy of the Software on an exchange basis within a reasonable time.
(c) The foregoing warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied, and UBC disclaims all warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, and any other warranty implied at law or in equity. UBC makes no representations regarding the use or the results of use of the Software and/or Documentation in terms of corrections, accuracy, reliability or otherwise. Under no circumstances shall UBC be liable for a breach of any warranty, express or implied, if the Licensee alters or modifies the Software in any way, without the express written consent of UBC.
