The client shall promptly notify Octoparse of any known unauthorized use of a user account that may have resulted in a breach of the License.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Client’s use of any Extracted Data (defined below) is not limited by this License.

2.4. Ownership of Intellectual Property. Octoparse and its licensors (where applicable) shall own all rights, titles, and interests, including all related Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the Octoparse Technology and the Services in addition to any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, feedback, recommendations or other information provided by Client or any other party relating to the Services or the Octoparse Technology.
