This Agreement can be accepted only by an adult of legal age of majority in the country in which the Software is used. If you don’t have the required age or authority to accept this Agreement, or if you don’t accept all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, do not use the Software. You agree to use the Software only for purposes that are permitted by this Agreement and any applicable law or regulation in the relevant jurisdictions.

1. License Grant. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, NVIDIA grants you a non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable (except as expressly granted in this Agreement), license to:

2.4. Except as expressly granted in this Agreement, you may not copy, sell, rent, sublicense, transfer, distribute, modify or create derivative works of the Software, or make its functionality available to others.

2.5. You may not bypass, disable or circumvent any technical limitation, encryption, security, digital rights management or authentication mechanism in the Software.

2.6. You may not use the Software in any manner that would cause it to become subject to an open source software license; subject to the terms in the "Components Under Other Licenses" section below.

2.7. You may not use the Software for the purpose of developing competing products or technologies or assist a third party in such activities.

2.8. You may not indicate that a product or service developed with the Software is sponsored or endorsed by NVIDIA.

2.9. You may not replace any NVIDIA software components in the Software that are governed by this Agreement with other software that implements NVIDIA APIs.

2.10. You may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any portion of the output generated using Software elements for the purpose of translating such output artifacts to target a non-NVIDIA platform.

2.11. You may not distribute or disclose to third parties results of benchmarking, competitive analysis, or regression or performance data relating to the Software or NVIDIA GPUs if comparing directly with non-NVIDIA platforms unless you have prior written permission from NVIDIA.

2.12. You acknowledge that the Software provided under this Agreement is not designed or tested by NVIDIA for use in any system or application where the use or failure of such system or application developed or deployed with NVIDIA’s Software could result in injury, death or catastrophic damage (each, a "Mission Critical Application"). Examples of Mission Critical Applications include use in avionics, navigation, autonomous vehicle applications, AI solutions for automotive products, military, medical, life support or other mission-critical or life-critical applications. NVIDIA will not be liable to you or any third party, in whole or in part, for any claims or damages arising from these uses. You are solely responsible for ensuring that systems and applications developed with the Software include sufficient safety and redundancy features and comply with all applicable legal and regulatory standards and requirements.

2.13. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless NVIDIA and its affiliates, and their respective employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, fines, restitutions and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees and costs incident to establishing the right of indemnification) arising out of or related to (i) products or services that have been developed or deployed with or use the Software, or claims that they violate laws, or infringe, violate, or misappropriate any third party right; or (ii) a violation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3. Authorized Users. You may allow employees and contractors of your entity or of your subsidiary(ies) to access and use the Software from your secure network to perform the work authorized by this Agreement on your behalf.

You are responsible for the compliance with the terms of this Agreement by your authorized users. Any act or omission that if committed by you would constitute a breach of this Agreement will be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement if committed by your authorized users.

4. Pre-Release Versions. Software versions or specific features identified as alpha, beta, preview, early access or otherwise as pre-release may not be fully functional, may contain errors or design flaws, and may have reduced or different security, privacy, availability and reliability standards relative to commercial versions of NVIDIA offerings. You may use pre-release Software at your own risk, understanding that such versions are not intended for use in production or business-critical systems. NVIDIA may choose not to make available a commercial version of any pre-release Software.
