  4. RESTRICTIONS
    1. Licensee shall use the Confidential Information and SDK and all other information and materials delivered to Licensee pursuant to this License solely for the Permitted Use and only in accordance with this License.
    2. Licensee shall be responsible and liable for the actions and omissions of its Authorised Sublicensees and contractors as though they were the actions and omissions of Licensee.

If a Licensee of an Unlimited License does not pay the Renewal Fee for a specific Renewal Period but seeks to renew support and maintenance for a subsequent Renewal Period, Licensor reserves the right to charge for Renewal Fees for all previous Renewal Periods for which the Renewal Fee has not been paid and an administration fee of 25% of the then current Renewal Fee plus interest on the previously unpaid Renewal Fees.
    3. The Fee is exclusive of any and all taxes, levies, excise, duties or imposts which, if payable, shall be added to the invoice and paid by the Licensee. If Licensee is obliged by any governing body to withhold or deduct any amount from the Fee, the Licensee shall provide Licensor with such certificate or document relating to the withholding or deduction such that Licensor may recover the same from Licensor's taxation authorities. If Licensor is unable to make such recovery, then the Licensee shall pay an additional amount to Licensor such that Licensor receives the Fee after any deductions, withholdings and recoveries.

From time to time Licensor may make generally available updates to the Licensed Software or new releases of the Licensed Software using suitable version control and naming procedures and policies. Upon making available a new release of the Licensed Software, Licensor shall advise of the end date for support and maintenance for the preceding release ("End of Life"). Licensor shall not be obliged to provide any support or maintenance for a release beyond its End of Life.
    3. Licensor shall have no obligation to provide any support or maintenance services if Licensor has reasonable grounds to believe that the Licensee is in breach of any of the terms of this License.
    4. If the Licensee has signed up to an Unlimited License and fails to pay the Renewal Fee then the Licensee shall not be entitled to any support and maintenance unless and until all relevant charges have been paid in accordance with clause 5.2.
