>NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT (LINUX DRIVER SOFTWARE) > > >INSTALLATION NOTICE: THIS IS A CONTRACT. BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD THE SOFTWARE AND/OR >COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION PROCESS, CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT. BY DOWNLOADING >THE SOFTWARE AND/OR ENTERING 'y' TO COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION PROCESS, YOU >CONSENT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS >AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BECOME A PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT AND BE BOUND >BY ALL OF ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS, ENTER 'n' OR 'q' TO CANCEL THE INSTALLATION >PROCESS, DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE, AND RETURN THE SOFTWARE (INCLUDING, >IF APPLICABLE, ALL ACCOMPANYING WRITTEN MATERIALS, ALONG WITH THEIR CONTAINERS) >WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THE SOFTWARE TO THE PLACE YOU OBTAINED >THEM. ALL RETURNS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO NI'S THEN CURRENT RETURN POLICY. > > >1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the >following meanings: > >A. "You." Means you the individual using the SOFTWARE as well as your employer >if you are using the SOFTWARE within the scope of your employment. > >B. "NI." Means (i) National Instruments Corporation, a company organized under >the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., if the SOFTWARE is manufactured in >the U.S.A.; (ii) National Instruments Ireland Resources Ltd., a company >organized under the laws of the Republic of Ireland, if the SOFTWARE is >manufactured in the Republic of Ireland; and (iii) National Instruments Europe >Kft, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Hungary, if the >SOFTWARE is manufactured in Hungary. If you are not sure where the SOFTWARE is >manufactured, please contact National Instruments Corporation, 11500 N. Mopac >Expressway, Austin, Texas, U.S.A. 78759-3504 (Attention: Legal Department). > >C. "Software." Means all files (including, but not limited to, libraries, >modules, and programs) provided with this Agreement and which are being >installed or otherwise used. SOFTWARE includes all Upgrades that may be provided >by NI in its discretion. > >D. "Upgrade." Means any supplemental or replacement code for computer software >you have previously licensed from NI. > > >2. Grant of License. In consideration of payment of the applicable fees to NI, >NI is willing to provide you with a limited, non-exclusive right to use the >SOFTWARE, but only pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The >SOFTWARE is in "use" when loaded into temporary memory (i.e., RAM) or installed >into permanent memory (e.g., hard disk, CD-ROM, network storage device, or other >storage device). Floating, concurrent, or shared use is not permitted under this >Agreement (i.e., allocating an individual license or one seat of a volume >license to non-simultaneous use of the SOFTWARE (in whole or part) on multiple >machines). The specific use rights granted you are as follows: > >You may install and use the SOFTWARE on as many computers in your workplace as >you desire; provided, however, that you separately install the SOFTWARE (using >the accompanying installer) on each such machine. > >Notes. The following applies: > >Source Code Component. One component of the SOFTWARE, the Kernel Abstraction >Layer ("KAL"), is provided to you in source code form. All other components of >the SOFTWARE are provided to you in object code form. You understand that you >must configure and compile the KAL for use under this Agreement. This >configuration and compilation process, however, will be completed on your behalf >by the installer. > > >3. Restrictions. You may not: (i) for those components of the SOFTWARE >provided in object code form, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the >SOFTWARE (except to the extent such foregoing restriction is expressly >prohibited by applicable law); (ii) sub-license, lease, or rent the SOFTWARE (in >whole or part); (iii) (other than as expressly permitted under this Agreement) >distribute in whole or part, modify, or create derivatives of the SOFTWARE; and >(iv) directly or indirectly, export, re-export, download, or ship the SOFTWARE >(in whole or part) in violation of the laws and regulations of the U.S.A. and >the laws and regulations of the applicable jurisdiction in which you use or are >downloading the SOFTWARE. Under no circumstance is "floating" or shared use >permitted under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, however, is intended >to prevent you from creating your own driver interface software for use with >other NI software and third party hardware; provided, however, that in doing so >you do not modify or use (in whole or part) any of the SOFTWARE. > > >4. Transfer. The license rights granted hereunder are non-transferable. Except >for the installation rights granted above, you may not distribute or otherwise >provide the SOFTWARE to any third party. > > >5. Upgrades. If the SOFTWARE is an Upgrade, you may only use the SOFTWARE if >you have (at the time you receive the Upgrade) a valid license to use the >pre-existing SOFTWARE. Further, the license agreement accompanying the Upgrade >applies to your use of the Upgrade. While you may continue to use the >pre-existing SOFTWARE, you may only use it on the same machine upon which the >Upgrade is used and the license that accompanied the pre-existing SOFTWARE will >continue to apply to your use of the pre-existing SOFTWARE. > > >6. Copyright; No Other Licenses. The SOFTWARE is owned by NI or its suppliers >and is protected by applicable copyright laws and international treaty >provisions. Therefore, you must treat the SOFTWARE like any other copyrighted >material. You may, however, copy the SOFTWARE solely for backup or archival >purposes. All rights not expressly granted to you in this Agreement are reserved >to NI. Further, and without limiting the foregoing, no license or any right of >any kind (whether by express license, implied license, the doctrine of >exhaustion, or otherwise) is granted under any NI patents (whether identified >herein or not) or other intellectual property right of NI with respect to any >other product(s) of NI or of any third party, including without limitation, the >right to use any of these other products. > > >7. Patent and Trademark Notice. For patents covering National Instruments >products, refer to the appropriate location: Help>>Patents in your software, the >patents.txt file on your CD, or ni.com/patents. ComponentWorks, CVI, FieldPoint, >IMAQ, Lookout, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Measurement Studio, NI-488.2, NI-CAN, >NI-DAQ, NI-FBUS, NI-VISA, NI-VXI and TestStand are the trademarks of National >Instruments Corporation. DIAdem and DASYLab are the trademarks of National >Instruments Ireland Resources Ltd. Further, all other product and company names >used herein are (or may be) trademarks or trade names of their respective >companies. > > >8. Limited Warranty. NI warrants, for your benefit alone, that for a period of >ninety (90) days from the date the SOFTWARE is shipped to you (i) the SOFTWARE >will (when used with the applicable NI hardware) perform substantially in >accordance with the accompanying written materials, and (ii) the medium on which >the SOFTWARE is recorded will be free from defects in materials and workmanship >under normal use and service. Any replacement SOFTWARE will be warranted for the >remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is >longer. Some states/jurisdictions do not allow limitations on duration of an >express or implied warranty, so the above or any other limitation provided >herein may not apply to you. In such event, such warranties are limited to the >minimum warranty period allowed by applicable law. You must obtain a Return >Material Authorization number from NI before returning the SOFTWARE under >warranty to NI and you agree to pay expenses for shipment to and from NI. The >Limited Warranty is void if failure of the SOFTWARE has resulted from accident, >abuse, misapplication, improper calibration by you, third party products (i.e., >hardware or software) used by you which are not intended by National Instruments >for use with the SOFTWARE, utilization of an improper hardware or software key >(if applicable), or unauthorized maintenance of the SOFTWARE. > > >9. Customer Remedies. NI's sole obligation (and your sole remedy) with respect >to the foregoing Limited Warranty shall be to, at NI's option, return the fees >paid or repair/replace the SOFTWARE, provided that NI receives written notice of >applicable defects during the warranty period. You may not bring an action to >enforce your remedies under the foregoing Limited Warranty more than one (1) >year after the accrual of such cause of action. > > >10. No Other Warranties. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE, THE SOFTWARE IS >PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EITHER >EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED ARE MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING BUT NOT >LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR >PURPOSE, TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ANY OTHER WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM >USAGE OF TRADE OR COURSE OF DEALING. NI DOES NOT WARRANT, GUARANTEE, OR MAKE ANY >REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OF OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE >IN TERMS OF CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE AND DOES NOT >WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE. >NI EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES NOT STATED HEREIN. > > >11. Intellectual Property Liability. NI shall, at its own expense, defend any >claim resulting from your use of the SOFTWARE as authorized by your license to >the extent that such claim alleges that the SOFTWARE infringes any patent, >copyright, or trademark protected by the laws of the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico, >Japan, Australia, Switzerland, Norway, or the European Union, provided that such >claim does not arise from your use of the SOFTWARE in combination with equipment >or devices not made by NI, or from any modification of the SOFTWARE not made by >NI, and further provided that you notify NI in writing immediately upon your >obtaining notice of such impending claim and your full cooperation with NI in >preparing a defense. If you provide to NI the authority, assistance, and >information NI needs to defend or settle such claim, NI shall pay any final >award of damages or settlement with respect to such claim and any expense you >incur at NI's written request, but NI shall not be liable for a settlement made >without its prior written consent. If the SOFTWARE is held to be infringing of >the rights stated above and the use thereof is enjoined or if NI believes the >SOFTWARE may be held to infringe a third party's intellectual property rights, >NI shall, at its option, either (i) procure for you the right to use the >SOFTWARE, (ii) replace or modify the SOFTWARE with other software which does not >infringe, or (iii) receive your return of the SOFTWARE and refund to you the >license fee payment(s) made by you to NI. The foregoing states your sole remedy >for, and NI's entire liability and responsibility for, infringement of any >patent, trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property right relating to >the SOFTWARE. THIS LIMITED INDEMNITY IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER STATUTORY OR >IMPLIED WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT. THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS >SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS INCORPORATED IN OR OTHERWISE >PROVIDED WITH THE NI PRODUCTS, AND YOU AGREE TO LOOK TO THE APPLICABLE THIRD >PARTY MANUFACTURER WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS FOR INFRINGEMENT INVOLVING THIRD >PARTY PRODUCTS. > > >12. Limitation On Liability. The entire liability of NI and its licensors, >distributors, and suppliers (including its and their directors, officers, >employees, and agents) is set forth above. To the maximum extent permitted by >applicable law, in no event shall NI and its licensors, distributors, and >suppliers (including its and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) >be liable for any damages, including, but not limited to, any special, direct, >indirect, incidental, exemplary, or consequential damages, expenses, lost >profits, lost savings, business interruption, lost business information, or any >other damages arising out of the use or inability to use the SOFTWARE, any >technical support services relating to the SOFTWARE, or related hardware even if >NI or its licensors, distributors, and suppliers has been advised of the >possibility of such damages. You acknowledge that the applicable fees and prices >reflect this allocation of risk. Because some states/jurisdictions do not allow >the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental >damages, the above limitation may not apply. If the foregoing limitation of >liability is not enforceable because the SOFTWARE, the services, or the hardware >is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable >judgment to be defective and to have directly caused bodily injury, death, or >property damage, in no event shall NI's liability for property damage exceed >$500 (U.S.). > > >13. Warning. (1) NI PRODUCTS ARE NOT DESIGNED WITH COMPONENTS AND TESTING FOR >A LEVEL OF RELIABILITY SUITABLE FOR USE IN OR IN CONNECTION WITH SURGICAL >IMPLANTS OR AS CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN ANY LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS WHOSE FAILURE TO >PERFORM CAN REASONABLY BE EXPECTED TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT INJURY TO A HUMAN. (2) >IN ANY APPLICATION, INCLUDING THE ABOVE, RELIABILITY OF OPERATION OF THE >SOFTWARE PRODUCTS CAN BE IMPAIRED BY ADVERSE FACTORS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED >TO FLUCTUATIONS IN ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY, COMPUTER HARDWARE MALFUNCTIONS, >COMPUTER OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE FITNESS, FITNESS OF COMPILERS AND DEVELOPMENT >SOFTWARE USED TO DEVELOP AN APPLICATION, INSTALLATION ERRORS, SOFTWARE AND >HARDWARE COMPATIBILITY PROBLEMS, MALFUNCTIONS OR FAILURES OF ELECTRONIC >MONITORING OR CONTROL DEVICES, TRANSIENT FAILURES OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS >(HARDWARE AND/OR SOFTWARE), UNANTICIPATED USES OR MISUSES, OR ERRORS ON THE PART >OF THE USER OR APPLICATIONS DESIGNER (ADVERSE FACTORS SUCH AS THESE ARE >HEREAFTER COLLECTIVELY TERMED "SYSTEM FAILURES"). ANY APPLICATION WHERE A SYSTEM >FAILURE WOULD CREATE A RISK OF HARM TO PROPERTY OR PERSONS (INCLUDING THE RISK >OF BODILY INJURY AND DEATH) SHOULD NOT BE RELIANT SOLELY UPON ONE FORM OF >ELECTRONIC SYSTEM DUE TO THE RISK OF SYSTEM FAILURE. TO AVOID DAMAGE, INJURY, OR >DEATH, THE USER OR APPLICATION DESIGNER MUST TAKE REASONABLY PRUDENT STEPS TO >PROTECT AGAINST SYSTEM FAILURES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BACK-UP OR SHUT >DOWN MECHANISMS. BECAUSE EACH END-USER SYSTEM IS CUSTOMIZED AND DIFFERS FROM >NI'S TESTING PLATFORMS AND BECAUSE A USER OR APPLICATION DESIGNER MAY USE NI >PRODUCTS IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER PRODUCTS IN A MANNER NOT EVALUATED OR >CONTEMPLATED BY NI, THE USER OR APPLICATION DESIGNER IS ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE >FOR VERIFYING AND VALIDATING THE SUITABILITY OF NI PRODUCTS WHENEVER NI PRODUCTS >ARE INCORPORATED IN A SYSTEM OR APPLICATION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE >APPROPRIATE DESIGN, PROCESS, AND SAFETY LEVEL OF SUCH SYSTEM OR APPLICATION. > > >14. U.S. Government Restricted Rights. If you are an agency, department, or >other entity of the United States Government ("Government"), the use, >duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure, or transfer of the >SOFTWARE, or any related documentation of any kind, including technical data or >manuals, is restricted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 12.212 >(as amended or supplanted) for civilian agencies and Defense Federal Acquisition >Regulation Supplement 227.7202 (as amended or supplanted) for military agencies. >The SOFTWARE is commercial computer software and the related documentation is >commercial computer software documentation. The use of the SOFTWARE and related >documentation is further restricted in accordance with the terms of this >Agreement, or any modification hereto. The Contractor/Manufacturer is National >Instruments Corporation, 11500 North Mopac Expressway, Austin, Texas, U.S.A., >78759-3504. > > >15. Compliance. You agree to make all applicable records available for review >by NI during your normal business hours so as to permit NI (upon reasonable >notice to you) to verify your compliance with the terms and conditions of this >Agreement. Further, if you are a business or other entity, you agree that upon >the request of NI or NI's authorized representative, you will promptly document >and certify in writing to NI that your and your employees' use of the SOFTWARE >complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. NI may (upon written >notice) inspect your use of the SOFTWARE during your normal business hours to >ensure your compliance with this Agreement. If the results of any such >inspection indicate the underpayment by you of applicable fees due and payable >to NI, you shall: (i) immediately pay such amounts to NI and (ii) reimburse NI >for the cost of such inspection. > > >16. Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon failure by >you to comply with its terms. Upon termination of this Agreement, regardless of >the reason, you must destroy all copies of the SOFTWARE. > > >17. General. > >A. If the SOFTWARE is manufactured in the U.S.A., (i) this Agreement is >governed by the laws of the State of Texas, U.S.A., exclusive of any provisions >of the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods, and without >regard to principles of conflicts of law and (ii) the non-exclusive venue for >all actions under this Agreement shall be in the courts located in Travis >County, Texas, U.S.A. and the parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of >such courts. > >B.
