By downloading, installing, copying, +or otherwise using the SOFTWARE, you agree to be bound by the terms +of this LICENSE. If you do not agree to the terms of this LICENSE, +do not download the SOFTWARE. + +RECITALS + +Use of NVIDIA's products requires three elements: the SOFTWARE, the +hardware, and a personal computer. The SOFTWARE is protected by copyright +laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual +property laws and treaties. The SOFTWARE may be protected by various +patents, and is not sold, and instead is only licensed for use, strictly +in accordance with this document. The hardware is protected by various +patents, and is sold, but this agreement does not cover that sale, since +it may not necessarily be sold as a package with the SOFTWARE. This +agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of the SOFTWARE LICENSE only. + +1. DEFINITIONS + +1.1 Customer. Customer means the entity or individual that +downloads or otherwise obtains the SOFTWARE. + +2. GRANT OF LICENSE + +2.1 Rights and Limitations of Grant. NVIDIA hereby grants Customer +the following non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the +SOFTWARE, with the following limitations: + +2.1.1 Rights. Customer may install and use multiple copies of the +SOFTWARE on a shared computer or concurrently on different computers, +and make multiple back-up copies of the SOFTWARE, solely for Customer's +use within Customer's Enterprise. "Enterprise" shall mean individual use +by Customer or any legal entity (such as a corporation or university) +and the subsidiaries it owns by more than fifty percent (50%). + +2.1.2 Open Source Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms +of Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE may be copied and redistributed solely for +use on operating systems distributed under the terms of an OSI-approved +open source license as listed by the Open Source Initiative at +http://opensource.org, provided that the binary files thereof are not +modified, and Customer provides a copy of this license with the SOFTWARE. + +2.1.3 Limitations. + +No Reverse Engineering. Customer may not reverse engineer, +decompile, or disassemble the SOFTWARE, nor attempt in any other +manner to obtain the source code. + +Usage. SOFTWARE is licensed only for use with microprocessor(s) which have +been (i) designed by NVIDIA and (ii) either (a) sold by or (b) licensed by +NVIDIA. Customer shall not use SOFTWARE in conjunction with, nor cause +SOFTWARE to be executed by, any other microprocessor. + +No Translation. Customer shall not translate SOFTWARE, nor cause or permit +SOFTWARE to be translated, from the architecture or language in which it is +originally provided by NVIDIA, into any other architecture or language. + +No Rental. Customer may not rent or lease the SOFTWARE to someone +else. + +3. TERMINATION + +This LICENSE will automatically terminate if Customer fails to +comply with any of the terms and conditions hereof. In such event, +Customer must destroy all copies of the SOFTWARE and all of its +component parts. + +Defensive Suspension. If Customer commences or participates in any legal +proceeding against NVIDIA, then NVIDIA may, in its sole discretion, +suspend or terminate all license grants and any other rights provided +under this LICENSE during the pendency of such legal proceedings. + +4. COPYRIGHT + +All title and copyrights in and to the SOFTWARE (including but +not limited to all images, photographs, animations, video, audio, +music, text, and other information incorporated into the SOFTWARE), +the accompanying printed materials, and any copies of the SOFTWARE, +are owned by NVIDIA, or its suppliers. The SOFTWARE is protected +by copyright laws and international treaty provisions. Accordingly, +Customer is required to treat the SOFTWARE like any other copyrighted +material, except as otherwise allowed pursuant to this LICENSE +and that it may make one copy of the SOFTWARE solely for backup or +archive purposes. + +5. APPLICABLE LAW + +This agreement shall be deemed to have been made in, and shall be +construed pursuant to, the laws of the State of California. + +6. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATION ON LIABILITY + +6.1 No Warranties. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE +LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND NVIDIA AND ITS SUPPLIERS +DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT +NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS +FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. + +6.2 No Liability for Consequential Damages. TO THE MAXIMUM +EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL NVIDIA OR +ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR +CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, +DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS +OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT +OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF NVIDIA HAS +BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. + +7. MISCELLANEOUS + +The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International +Sale of Goods is specifically disclaimed. If any provision of this +LICENSE is inconsistent with, or cannot be fully enforced under, +the law, such provision will be construed as limited to the extent +necessary to be consistent with and fully enforceable under the law. +This agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement between +the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes +all prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements relating +to such subject matter, whether oral or written. Customer agrees +that it will not ship, transfer or export the SOFTWARE into any +country, or use the SOFTWARE in any manner, prohibited by the +United States Bureau of Export Administration or any export laws, +restrictions or regulations. This LICENSE may only be modified in +writing signed by an authorized officer of NVIDIA. + |
