Software Tree’s Gilhari software, including its development kit (SDK) and Updates, (the "Product") is a beta version of a microservice software framework to simplify persistence of JSON objects in relational databases. The Product includes proprietary software, documentation, and example programs developed by Software Tree (the "Software Tree Software"), along with certain third party software (the "Third Party Software"), which are identified, along with their respective license terms, in one or more .txt files in the download package (the “Third Party License”).
2.1 Grant of License. Subject to Beta Licensee's acceptance of, and agreement with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the terms and conditions of the Third Party License, Software Tree hereby grants to Beta Licensee a non-exclusive, personal, non-assignable, revocable, and non-transferable license to:

Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, the Product, technical specifications, documentation, design plans, know-how, customer information, business information, any associated technology or services, and other similar information. Beta Licensee will, during the Term and thereafter, maintain in confidence the Confidential Information and will not use such Confidential Information except as expressly permitted herein.
