If applicable, Proxy Server Service and/or Satellite Server Service will be provided for one (1) designated system owned or operated by Client and located at Client's site (the "RHN Server"). The evaluation begins on the date Client accepts this Agreement and ends thirty (30) days later (the "Evaluation Period").

Services may be used only for systems authorized by this Agreement and only for Client's benefit. An entitlement for one system may not be used for any other system concurrently. Unauthorized use of the Services is a material breach of this Agreement and will result in immediate termination of this Agreement.
