This Connect IQ Developer Agreement (the "Agreement") between you and, if applicable, your company ("you" or "your") and Garmin International, Inc. and its affiliates ("Garmin") governs your use of the SDK and other Program Materials to develop Applications, your submission of Applications for publication on the CIQ Store, and, if applicable, the sale of your Application on the CIQ Store.
