The Entity acknowledges and agrees that once User Data has been anonymized and incorporated into Aggregated Data or utilized to create Derived Data or to train machine learning models, such data becomes an inseparable component of Agreena’s proprietary dataset and Agreena’s Intellectual Property Rights. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Entity hereby waives any right, whether during the term of this Agreement or following its termination, to require the decoupling, extraction, or deletion of User Data once it has been integrated into such pools or used to generate Derived Data or Aggregated Data.

To the maximum extent permitted by Danish law, the Entity hereby waives any right to seek injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable remedies that would require Agreena to decouple, delete, or cease the use of the Entity’s User Data once it has been integrated into Aggregated Data or utilized to generate Derived Data.
