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, non-transferable right to use the
|
||
|
SOFTWARE, with the following limitations:
|
||
|
|
||
|
2.1.1 Rights. Customer may install and use one copy of the SOFTWARE
|
||
|
on a single computer, and except for making one back-up copy of
|
||
|
the Software, may not otherwise copy the SOFTWARE. This LICENSE
|
||
|
of SOFTWARE may not be shared or used concurrently on different
|
||
|
computers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
2.1.2 Linux/FreeBSD Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms
|
||
|
of Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux or
|
||
|
FreeBSD operating systems, or other operating systems derived from the
|
||
|
source code to these operating systems, may be copied and redistributed,
|
||
|
provided that the binary files thereof are not modified in any way
|
||
|
(except for unzipping of compressed files).
|
||
|
|
||
|
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.
|
||
|
|
||
|
No Separation of Components. The SOFTWARE is licensed as a
|
||
|
single product. Its component parts may not be separated for use
|
||
|
on more than one computer, nor otherwise used separately from the
|
||
|
other parts.
|
||
|
|
||
|
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.
|
||
|
|
||

|
||
|
necessary to be consistent with and fully enforceable under the law.
|
||
|
This agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement between
|
||
|
