License For Customer Use of NVIDIA Software
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTICE -- READ CAREFULLY: This License For Customer Use of
|
|
NVIDIA Software ("LICENSE") is the agreement which governs use of the
|
|
software of NVIDIA Corporation and its subsidiaries ("NVIDIA") downloadable
|
|
herefrom, including computer software and associated printed materials
|
|
("SOFTWARE"). 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
|
|
on a graphics controller board, 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 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 the
|
|
SOFTWARE.
|
|
|
|
2. GRANT OF LICENSE
|
|
|
|
2.1 Rights and Limitations of Grant. NVIDIA hereby grants Customer the
|
|
following non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, non-transferable right
|
|
to use the SOFTWARE, with the following limitations:
|
|
|
|
2.1.1 Rights. Customer may use, reproduce, distribute, publicly display
|
|
and publicly perform the SOFTWARE.
|
|
|
|
2.1.2 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.
|
|
|
|
No Modification. The SOFTWARE may be redistributed providing that distributed
|
|
Cg compiler and runtime binaries are unmodified, except for decompression and
|
|
compression.
|
|
|
|
No Rental. Customer may not rent or lease the SOFTWARE to someone else.
|
|
|
|
No Support. NVIDIA will not be responsible for providing maintenance and
|
|
support to Customer or any other end users for the Software distributed by
|
|
Customer or others.
|
|
|
|
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.

|
|
|
4. COPYRIGHT

information incorporated into the SOFTWARE), the accompanying printed
|

materials, and any copies of the SOFTWARE, are owned by NVIDIA, or its

treaty provisions. Accordingly, Customer is required to treat the SOFTWARE

that NVIDIA owns all right, title and interest therein. There are no implied
|
|
licenses under this License, and any rights not expressly granted are reserved
|
|
by NVIDIA. The Software is not sold, and instead is only licensed for use,
|
|
strictly in accordance with this License. All copies of the Software shall
|
|
contain NVIDIA's proprietary rights notices as provided therein. Customer
|
|
shall not remove or modify any such proprietary rights notices of NVIDIA. This
|
|
License will automatically terminate if Customer fails to comply with any of
|
|
the terms and conditions hereof. In such event, Customer must cease
|
|
reproducing, distributing, or otherwise using the Software and destroy all
|
|
copies thereof.
|

|
|
INFORMATION, OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT OF

LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF
|
|
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. NVIDIA SHALL HAVE
|
|
NO CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY CUSTOMER UNDER

7. MISCELLANEOUS
|
|
|
|
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of
|
|
Goods is specifically disclaimed. 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.
|
|
|
|
If any provision of this License is held to be invalid or unenforceable
|
|
for any reason, the remaining provisions will continue in full force
|
|
without being impaired or invalidated in any way.
|
|
|
|
No term or provisions hereof shall be deemed waived, and no breach excused,
|
|
unless such waiver or consent is in writing and signed by the party claimed
|
|
to have waived or consented. The waiver by either party of a breach of any
|
|
provision of this License will not operate or be interpreted as a waiver of
|
|
any other or subsequent breach.
|
|
|
|
This License may be changed only by mutual agreement in writing of the
|
|
authorized representatives of the parties.
