Licensee any right to receive from Respondus hard-copy documentation, support services, or
enhancements or updates to the Software.

limitations described in this Agreement. No notice shall be required from Licensor to effectuate such
termination. Upon termination, you must destroy all copies of the Software.

4. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. Title, ownership rights, and intellectual property rights in the Software and

system check, the ability to report an issue to Respondus, and links to a knowledge base and technical
support.

Accepting the Terms

In order to use the Help Services, you must first agree to the terms ("Help Center Terms") as outlined
herein. You may not use the Help Services if you do not accept the Help Center Terms. You can accept
the Help Center Terms by: (A) clicking to accept or agree to the Help Center Terms, where this option is
made available to you by Respondus in the user interface of the Help Services or other Respondus
services; or (B) by otherwise using the Help Services. In any case, you understand and agree that
Respondus will treat your use of the Help Services as acceptance of the Help Center Terms.

Data Collection

Respondus collects data to operate effectively and to strive to provide you with the best experience with
LockDown Browser. You provide some of this data directly, such as when you contact us for support.
Some data is obtained by recording how you interact with LockDown Browser by, for example, receiving
error reports or usage data from software running on your device. Some data is obtained by how you
interact with the assessment delivery system, such as the amount of time spent answering a question.
The data we collect within the Help Services depends on the features you use, and includes the following:

Webcam & Microphone Check. The webcam and microphone check streams video and audio from your
webcam to the Respondus servers. The video and audio can then be played back by you to ensure the
webcam and microphone are working properly. The video and audio recorded during the webcam and
microphone check is stored in temporary cache on the Respondus server and is automatically deleted in
about an hour. Persistent storage is not used for these recordings, and Respondus does not provide a
way to electronically identify the recordings as being transmitted from a specific user.

System Check. The System Check gathers certain information from your computing device, the
networking environment, and the institution's Learning Management System.

All data gathered during the System Check is presented to you on your screen, including a unique
System Check ID. The System Check does NOT contain username, user ID, or the password used to
access the institution's Learning Management System.

You have the option to send System Check results by email, and if so, you must enter an email address
for the recipient of the email message. If the System Check results are sent by email, log files from
software of LockDown Browser are additionally transmitted to a Respondus server. Log files contain
details of the interaction between LockDown Browser and your institution's Learning Management
System, from the time you log into the Learning Management System using LockDown Browser until the
session is exited or terminated. Log files are stored locally on your computer in an encrypted format and,
if transmitted to Respondus, are sent in encrypted format over HTTPS. Log files do NOT contain user
name, user ID, or the password used to access the institution's Learning Management System.

System Check data and log files may be sent to a Respondus web server or a third party cloud server for
storage and further processing by Respondus. Respondus may use System Check data and log files to
assist you with a technical issue. Respondus may also aggregate and analyze the System Check data to,
for example, improve the Software or its technical support services. System Check data and log files
aren't sold, distributed, or made available to affiliate or third party businesses.

Report An Issue. The Report An Issue feature enables you to provide feedback to Respondus about
LockDown Browser. System Check data and log files, as described above, are collected by Respondus
during this process. You are informed of this transfer of data each time the Report An Issue feature is
used. You may choose, but you are not required, to provide an email address and contact information
when using this feature. System Check data, log files, contact information, and feedback you provide may
be sent to a Respondus web server or third party cloud server for storage and further processing by
Respondus. No data transmitted to Respondus from the Report An Issue feature will be sold, distributed,
or made available to affiliate or third party businesses.

Knowledge Base. A link to a knowledge base is included with the Help Services. No individual data is
collected by Respondus during the use of the knowledge base, although Respondus may analyze
aggregated usage data of the knowledge base to improve the service.

Technical Support. The Help Services contains a link that enables users to open a support ticket with
Respondus. The System Check ID for the most recent System Check is automatically populated in the
form used to create a support ticket. You must additionally enter your name and a valid email address
through which communication with the Respondus support team will occur. Throughout the support
process, you may, at your own discretion, provide personally identifiable information that will be used by
the Respondus support team to analyze the issue and communicate with you. All communication between
you and the Respondus team is stored on a Respondus web server, and may be used by Respondus to
improve LockDown Browser.

and Licensee. The parties acknowledge that such services are acquired independently of the Software
licensed hereunder, and that provision of such services is not essential to the functionality of such
Software. (o) The headings to the sections of this Agreement are used for convenience only and shall
have no substantive meaning. (p) Licensor may use Licensee's name in any customer reference list or in
any press release issued by Licensor regarding the licensing of the Software and/or provide Licensee's
name and the names of the Software licensed by Licensee to third parties.

English language.") (ii) Licensee is responsible for complying with any local laws in its jurisdiction which
might impact its right to import, export or use the Software, and Licensee represents that it has complied
with any regulations or registration procedures required by applicable law to make this license
enforceable.
