- Ownership of Confidential Information; No License. OLA is the sole and exclusive owner of the Confidential Information, and owns all copyrights, patent rights, trade secret rights, confidential information rights, and all other property rights therein.

- No Waiver; Severability. No waiver of any term, provision, or condition of this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or be construed as a further or continuing waiver. If any term or provision of this Agreement shall to any extent be found to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated.
- Counterparts; Binding on Successors. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
