1.10. Right to Discontinue

Licensee understands and acknowledges that Sansar may discontinue the availability of the Freeware, or any Component, at any time and at its exclusive discretion.

Licensee may reproduce and distribute copies of the Freeware and Licensee’s Derivative Works in any medium, with or without modifications, provided that all of the following conditions are met:

a. Licensee may not modify, create, use, reproduce, or distribute any copies of the Freeware or Derivative Works that circumvent, block, replace, divert end user clicks, traffic, or transactions away from, or are otherwise incompatible with Sansar’s Monetization of the Platform. As used herein, “Monetization” means and includes any revenue-generating feature or functionality of the Platform, including without limitation, embedding of Source Activated Moments or “SAMs,” third-party advertising, on-Platform purchases and related transactions, and so forth. In other words, all copies of the Freeware and Derivative Works, must work with—and not against—Sansar’s existing Monetization framework.

b. Licensee must give any other recipients of the Freeware or Derivative Works a copy of this License

c. Licensee must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating that Licensee changed the files

The contents of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and do not modify the License. Licensee may add Licensee’s own attribution notices within Derivative Works that Licensee distributes, alongside or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Freeware, provided that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed as modifying the License.

f. Licensee shall not use or modify the Freeware, or any Component thereof, or create any Derivative works

g. Licensee may add Licensee’s own copyright statement to Licensee’s modifications and may provide additional or different license terms and conditions for use, reproduction, or distribution of Licensee’s modifications, or for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Licensee’s use, reproduction, and distribution of the Freeware otherwise complies with the conditions stated in this License.

3. No Warranty, Maintenance or Support.
