and other information on the Site solely for internal purposes during the regular
course of its motor vehicle compliance services. This License includes the right
to download and temporarily store static content necessary for the continuing business
process. The User may also create printouts of Data for internal use and for distribution
to third parties, such as OnCore LLC, for internal compliance purposes without
further distribution, unless required by law.
The User may save static content for lawful analysis of Data and continuation
of program involvement during the normal course of business. The User may not copy,

A. Secure Individual
Access. Only the User may access the Data by means of access codes provided
by Parsons under this Agreement. The User will be issued secure login credentials
and it is the sole responsibility of the User to ensure the confidentiality of those
credentials. It is the responsibility of the User to notify Parsons if these credentials
have been compromised by unauthorized users. It is unlawful to share individual
secure login credentials with other Users or to use credentials issued to anyone
but the User to enter the Site. User is prohibited from attempting to gain unauthorized
access to any portion or feature of the Site, or any other systems or networks connected
to the Site or to any Parsons server, or to any of the services offered on or through
the Site, by hacking, password "mining" or any other illegitimate means.
The User will not forge headers or otherwise manipulate identifiers in order to
disguise the origin of any message or transmittal the User sends to Parsons on or
through the Site or any service offered on or through the Site. Users may not engage
in any activity that will mislead the Site or Parsons into granting access on the
belief that the User is, or that the User represents, another User. The User may
not impersonate any other individual or entity. Upon termination
of this Agreement by either party, the User's access will be terminated.
B.
Monitoring. User is prohibited from using any "deep-link", "page-scrape",
"robot", "spider" or other automatic device, program, algorithm
or methodology, or any similar or equivalent manual process, to access, acquire,
copy or monitor any portion of the Site or any Data, or in any way reproduce or
circumvent the navigational structure or presentation of the Site or any Data, to
obtain or attempt to obtain any materials, documents or information through any
means not purposely made available through the Site. User is prohibited from activities
designed to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the Site or any network connected
to the Site, or to breach the security or authentication measures on the Site or
any network connected to the Site. User is prohibited from attempting activities
such as reverse look-up, trace or seek to trace any information on any other user
of the Site, or exploit the Site or any service or information made available or
offered by or through the Site, in any way where the purpose is to reveal any information,
including but not limited to personal identification or information as provided
for by the Site.
The
User is prohibited from knowingly taking any action that may or will impose an unreasonable
or disproportionately large load on the infrastructure of the Site or Parsons' systems
or networks, or any systems or networks connected to the Site or to Parsons. The
User agrees not to use any device, site or routine to interfere or attempt to interfere
with the proper working of the Site or any transaction being conducted on the Site,
or with any other person's use of the Site.
The
User agrees to refrain from using the Site or any Data or content for any purpose
that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms of Use, or to solicit the performance
of any illegal activity or other activity which infringes the rights of Parsons
or others.
4.
Protection of Site and Data
A.
Proprietary Notices. The User agrees to respect and not to remove, obliterate,
or cancel from view any copyright, trademark, confidentiality or other proprietary
notice, mark, or legend appearing on any of the Site or the Data, and to reproduce

proprietary products and trade secrets of Parsons embodying confidential information,
ideas, and expressions. Accordingly, The User agrees to treat the Site and Data
as confidential in accordance with the confidentiality requirements and conditions
set forth below.
B.
Maintenance of Confidential Information. The User agrees to keep confidential
all confidential information disclosed to it by Parsons in accordance herewith,
and to protect the confidentiality thereof in the same manner it protects the confidentiality
of similar information and data of its own (at all times exercising at least a reasonable
degree of care in the protection of confidential information); provided, however,
that the User shall not have any such obligation with respect to use of disclosure
to others not parties to this Agreement of such confidential information as can
be established to: (1) have been known publicly; (2) have been known generally in
the industry before communication by the disclosing party to the recipient; (3)
have become known publicly, without fault on the part of the User, subsequent to
disclosure by Parsons; (4) have been known otherwise by the User before communication
by Parsons; or (5) have been received by the User without any obligation of confidentiality
from a source (other than Parsons) lawfully having possession of such information.
C.
Injunctive Relief. The User acknowledges that the unauthorized use, transfer
or disclosure of the Site or Data will: (1) substantially diminish the value to
Parsons of the trade secrets and other proprietary interests that are the subject
of this Agreement; (2) render Parsons' remedy at law for such unauthorized use,
disclosure or transfer inadequate; and (3) cause irreparable injury in a short period
of time. If the User breaches any of its obligations with respect to the use or
confidentiality of the Site, Parsons shall be entitled to equitable relief to protect
its interests therein, including, but not limited to, preliminary and permanent
injunctive relief.

by User of these Terms of Use will constitute an unlawful and unfair business practice,

that Parsons deems necessary or appropriate in such circumstances. These remedies
are in addition to any other remedies Parsons may have at law or in equity.
