Within ten (10) days of a request by SideFX, the third party who provides the Third Party Rendering Software and its dedicated Houdini plug-in shall certify in writing to SideFX the extent to which such third party has implemented technical measures to prevent any breach of such restrictions. For certainty, Users under all License Types other than the Apprentice License and the Indie License may utilize Third Party Rendering Software for the purpose of rendering images created using the Software, without reference to the restrictions and requirements set out in this Section (but, for certainty, subject to the restrictions that otherwise apply to such License Types).
