Approval of any update to the Company Application will be in Trimble’s sole discretion.

If Trimble approves the updated version of the Company Application for integration and distribution with the Device, Trimble will use commercially reasonable efforts to integrate and distribute the updated version of the Company Application with the next release of Device firmware, provided that the Company Application is received no less than six (6) months prior to the firmware release. Should future versions of the Devices be enabled to accept over-the-air updates then the parties will cooperate to establish a process by which the Company Application may be updated in that manner and by which advance notice thereof is given to Trimble.
2.7 Privacy. To the extent that the Company Application or Company Application Service stores, tracks or transmits End User Data, the Company shall clearly and conspicuously notify the End Users that Company will collect, use and transmit such information and Company shall post its privacy rights policies in an easily customer-findable location (e.g., on Company’s Website home page) and note both the existence of such policy and location in the End User License Agreement, as well as on any other mutually agreed to location. Company will (in the manner described under Section 10 below) defend, indemnify and hold Trimble harmless against any liability (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of Company's failure to comply with the terms of this Section 2.7.
2.8 Discontinuing Company Applications.
