 As Kirby is software and software is intangible, We don't sell it as such.

 The license is **non-exclusive** (meaning that You are not the only one to whom We will issue a license) and **generally non-transferable** (meaning that the one who purchases the license is the licensee).
 
 On request, We will **transfer** a license to anyone who would be allowed and Qualified to purchase the license by law and this Agreement. The new licensee will take over all rights and obligations of this Agreement from You at the moment We confirm the license transfer.
