Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Avid grants to You a worldwide, cost-free, temporary, nontransferable, nonexclusive, revocable license, without the right to sublicense to use the SDK solely for the purpose of evaluating the SDK in order to determine whether You wish to enter into negotiations with Avid for a future agreement related to the SDK, without any obligation upon either party to engage in any such future negotiations or enter into any future agreement. No license to develop, distribute or sell any product using the SDK is granted hereunder.

##3. Support.

##18. General.
This Agreement shall constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between You and Avid with regard to the SDK.

You acknowledge that You and Avid are independent entities, that You are not a representative, agent, employee, or partner of Avid, and that You have no authority to speak for or incur obligations on behalf of or bind Avid. Any delay or failure by Avid to exercise any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver or forfeiture of such rights.
