shall include any and all enhancements and updates to any and/or all of the Systems, and any and all technology derived from same,
regardless of the name, serial number, model number or other identifying designation given to such enhancements and updates. The Systems are proprietary
web-based systems consisting of numerous confidential and secure databases, and various versions or editions of same, owned and controlled by Volvo and/or
third-party provider(s) and containing sensitive and proprietary information about Volvo's products, future products, plants, processes, business plans,
trade secrets, financial information and/or business in general. Access to the Systems will permit USER to have access to various proprietary and

- Engineering designs or drawings
- Patent information
- Accounting or financial data
- Customer, supplier or vendor information
- Employee personnel, compensation or health care information

- Other sensitive Volvo business information
For purposes of this Agreement, all of the information listed above, in fact all information provided
through any or all of the Systems, and all information gained by USER by virtue of its access to any
or all of the Systems, shall be considered Confidential Information. Confidential Information may
include all forms and types of information including, but not limited to, writings, data, drawings,
schematics, photographs, audio and video clips, and any other data available to USER through the
Systems.
USER agrees to keep all Confidential Information strictly confidential and not to disclose any
Confidential Information to any third person unless disclosure is authorized in writing in advance by
Volvo. USER understands that the website(s) through which information is from time-to-time
displayed by any or all of the Systems contain copyrights and/or other intellectual property owned
by Volvo and, to the extent applicable, may contain copyrights and/or other intellectual property
owned by third parties. USER agrees not to duplicate or reproduce in any form any Confidential
Information, print any screens, or in any other manner replicate any information provided through
access to any or all of the Systems. USER agrees to be responsible for any unauthorized disclosure
of Confidential Information and shall take all reasonable precautions to prevent such disclosures.
USER understands that access to any or all of the Systems is a privilege, not a right, granted by Volvo. Volvo reserves the exclusive right to
suspend and/or revoke access of the USER to any or all of the Systems at any time and from time to time, with or without notice to USER.
USER understands that any user-ID(s) or password(s) granted for access to any or all of the Systems is confidential, not only as to USER but also to the
individual employees of USER, and USER agrees to take all reasonable precautions to protect and keep secure any such user-ID(s) and password(s) from any
dissemination or use by any third person. USER understands that any and all activity performed utilizing the user-ID(s) and/or password(s) granted to USER
may be monitored and logged at any time and from time to time. USER understand that an individual employee's access to any or all of the Systems will
terminate at the conclusion of employment with the approved company USER.
USER shall have no expectation of privacy regarding the use of or access to any or all of the Systems, as USER has been put on notice that its activity
may be monitored and logged by Volvo. USER agrees to accept full responsibility for any unauthorized use of the user ID(s) and/or password(s) provided
to USER to access any or all of the Systems. USER understands that all Confidential Information and User IDs and passwords shall remain the property of
Volvo and (where applicable) its third-party licensors. USER expressly waives any right of privacy in anything USER creates, stores, sends or receives
concerning its use of or access to any or all of the Systems. When and if deemed necessary by Volvo, disclosure of any messages, files and/or text will
be made to law enforcement agencies or other third parties without the USER's consent.
USER agrees that Volvo and (where applicable) its third-party licensors will be irreparably injured by any breach of this Agreement by USER,
that monetary remedies are inadequate to protect Volvo and such third-party licensors against any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement
by USER, and that Volvo and such third-party licensors shall be entitled to specific performance or other equitable relief as a remedy for any
breach. USER agrees that such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for a breach of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all
other remedies available at law or in equity, including but not limited to fines, criminal penalties, and injunctions. USER hereby consents to the
jurisdiction of the State of North Carolina to resolve any disputes of this Agreement. All of Volvo's third-party licensors are intended third-party
beneficiaries to this Agreement.
From time to time as they may become available, Volvo or its representatives may notify USER of any enhancements and/or updates released for
any or all of the Systems to which USER is granted access hereunder. Any such enhancements and updates offered would be subject to any terms of
use established by Volvo and (where applicable) its third party licensors. Volvo reserves the right to modify and/or implement any fees or charges
required to utilize or obtain access to the Systems. Only registered USERs will be offered any such enhancements and updates.
The Agreement is effective from the date of signing of this Agreement by USER and shall remain in force until terminated. The Agreement is
automatically terminated if the Volvo dealer and parts and service agreement (applicable to USERs who are authorized dealers or parts and service
providers of Volvo) is terminated. Either Volvo or USER may terminate this Agreement at any time with or without cause on ten (10) days written
notice given by facsimile (record of transmission retained), certified mail and/or nationally recognized overnight courier, in each case to the
physical or facsimile address specified herein or as otherwise set forth in a notification given as required hereunder. Also, Volvo reserves the
right to terminate this Agreement with immediate effect if USER breaches any term(s) of this Agreement or if Volvo has a good faith belief
that USER is in violation of any term(s) of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement under any circumstances, USER must immediately
cease usage of all of the Systems and will deliver to Volvo any software, materials, manuals and documentation issued in connection with any or
all of the Systems, and any other materials derived from the use of any or all of the Systems directly or indirectly. This Agreement may not be
assigned, licensed or modified by USER.
