    Interoperability Testing and Demonstration License Grant. During the term of the Agreement, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Yubico hereby grants to Member a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable limited right to use the Yubico Products that Member obtains under this Agreement without modification only in accordance with the documentation supplied by Yubico and solely for the following purposes:

Restrictions. Except as expressly set forth herein, Member will not, and will not allow any third party to: (i) distribute, sell, resell, lend, loan, lease, license, sublicense, timeshare, or transfer the Yubico Products or otherwise commercially exploit or make the Yubico Products available to any third party, other than as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) modify, copy, adapt, alter, translate or create derivative works of the Yubico Products; (iii) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Yubico Products or otherwise attempt to derive the source code for the Yubico Products; (iv) separate any software embedded on the Products (“Firmware”) from the remainder of hardware or use such Firmware on other devices; (v) knowingly take any action that would cause the Yubico Products (including any license keys) to be placed in the public domain; (vi) remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices of Yubico, its licensors or suppliers included in the Yubico Products; or (vii) access the Yubico Products in order to (A) build a competitive product, or (B) copy any ideas, features, functions or graphics of the Yubico Products. If applicable law limits the foregoing restriction, it shall apply to the fullest extent permissible.

    Interoperability. Subject to the terms of the license set forth in this Agreement, Member shall be responsible for completing the interoperability and integration verification requirements, including but not limited to meeting integration review standards (collectively “Verification Requirements”). Member shall not, expressly or implicitly, state that Yubico has endorsed or otherwise verified the Member Products interoperability unless it has obtained a verification where Yubico has validated Member Products as interoperable with the Yubico Products, as further described below.

    1. Catalog and Badges; Yubico Verification. Subject to Member’s compliance with the Verification Requirements and this Agreement, Yubico will list Member’s joint solution in the Works with YubiKey catalog located at https://www.yubico.com/works-with-yubikey/catalog/ and designate a Works with YubiKey listing category with a corresponding badge depending on the verification level of the joint solution (“Badge”). There are three (3) listing categories on the Works with YubiKey catalog: Community listings, Self-verified integrations, and Yubico-verified integrations. Please refer to the descriptions at https://www.yubico.com/support/terms-conditions/works-with-yubikey-terms-of-service/ for more information about the different categories and their respective disclaimers. Member shall ensure that its statements pertaining to the joint solution are consistent with Yubico’s listing categories and their respective disclaimers. Yubico may agree to conduct interoperability testing with Member Products and/or request that Member demonstrate interoperability testing and compliance with the Verification Requirements. Upon successful completion of such testing as confirmed by Yubico, Member may refer to the integration as “Verified,” but only such integration (including versions of both the Yubico Product and Member Product) as tested by Yubico and/or demonstrated to Yubico and approved by Yubico in writing. For clarity, “Verified” shall not mean that Yubico warrants or otherwise endorses such integration, and Member shall not warrant, represent or otherwise communicate any such endorsement to any third party including but not limited to Member’s current or potential customers.
      1. Maintenance of Interoperability. Member acknowledges and agrees that the Yubico issued verification shall only be valid for the current major release of the Member’s Products and only for the version of the Yubico Products for which the verification was issued. Any major release of Member Products requires integrations to be recertified within 30 calendar days unless otherwise agreed by Yubico in writing. Members agrees that in the event it does not undergo verification in accordance with the applicable requirements, this Agreement and all rights granted to Member shall be immediately and automatically suspended until such time as Member can evidence, to the satisfaction of Yubico that it has achieved the requirements for reverification. In the event Member has not re-verified in accordance with this Section, Yubico may in its discretion, terminate this Agreement and all obligations and responsibilities hereunder without liability or return of any fees paid, if any.
      2.  Member Products. From time-to-time, Yubico may need samples of Member Products for the purpose of evaluating and demoing the interoperability. Member agrees to provide a sufficient number of Member Product units, at no cost for Yubico to use for these purposes, and grants Yubico a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable limited right to use the MemberProducts without modification for such purposes.
