Any such inspection or audit shall be conducted during regular business hours at your facilities or electronically. Any information obtained during the course of such audit will be used by Commvault solely for the enforcement of Commvault’s rights under this EULA and applicable law.

You also agree that the Software may automatically provide certain reports and survey information, including the generation and collection of geolocation data, regarding its use to Commvault and its third-party licensors, and which reporting features You may disable at any time. Any such reports or information shall be used in a manner that does not identify you or shall be kept confidential and used solely by Commvault or its third party licensors for internal purposes.

Your agreement to this EULA serves as Your consent to the generation and collection of such reports and information by Commvault and its third-party licensors. To the extent that You may acquire by operation of law or equity, any right, title, or interest, including any intellectual property rights, in or to the Feedback, or any modifications, or developments related thereto, You hereby assign to Commvault Your entire right, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, therein and thereto, and agree to execute any necessary documents as reasonably required and requested by Commvault in connection with the foregoing.
