You agree that Adobe may audit your use of the Software for compliance
with these terms at any time, upon reasonable notice. In the event that
such audit reveals any use of the Software by you other than in full
compliance with the terms of this Agreement, you shall reimburse Adobe
for all reasonable expenses related to such audit in addition to any
other liabilities you may incur as a result of such non-compliance.
