Use of and Restrictions on Spiisee Products.

(iii) Licenses granted by Publisher are granted subject to the condition that you must ensure the maximum number of Authorized Users that are able to access and use the Spiisee Product concurrently is equal to the number of User Licenses for which the necessary fees have been paid to Spiisee and/or its authorized partners (each, a “Spiisee Expert”). You may purchase additional User Licenses at any time on payment of the appropriate fees to Spiisee or a Spiisee Expert. “User License” means a license granted under this EULA to you to permit an Authorized User to use the Spiisee Product. The number of User Licenses granted to you is dependent on the fees paid by you. “Authorized User” means a person who accesses and uses a Spiisee Product under the EULA and for which the necessary fees have been paid to Spiisee and/or a Spiisee Expert.
(iv) Any information that Publisher collects from you or your device will be subject to any Publisher EULA, privacy notice, or similar terms that the Publisher provides to you, and will not be subject to the Spiisee Privacy Policy (unless Spiisee is the Publisher).
