IMPORTANT.  Read the following NXP License Agreement ("Agreement") completely. By selecting the "I Accept" button at the end of this page, or by downloading, installing, or using the Licensed Materials, you indicate that you accept the terms of the Agreement and you acknowledge that you have the authority, for yourself or on behalf of your company, to bind your company to these terms. You may then download, install, or use the file. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any license terms and conditions embedded anywhere in the Licensed Materials file, the terms of this Agreement shall control.  If a separate license agreement for the Licensed Material has been signed by you and NXP, then that agreement shall govern your use of the Licensed Material and shall supersede this Agreement.

 

NXP LICENSE AGREEMENT

This is a legal agreement between your employer, of which you are an authorized representative, or, if you have no employer, you as an individual ("you" or "Licensee"), and NXP B.V. ("Licensor" or "NXP").  It concerns your rights to use the hardware design, development, and validation files, including but not limited to schematics, printed circuit board layout information, and simulation models provided to you and any accompanying written materials (the "Licensed Materials"). The Licensed Materials may include any updates or error corrections or documentation relating to the Licensed Materials provided to you by Licensor under this Agreement. In consideration for Licensor allowing you to access the Licensed Materials, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree to all of the terms of this Agreement, do not download, install, or use the Licensed Materials. If you change your mind later, stop using the Licensed Materials and delete all copies of the Licensed Materials in your possession or control. Any copies of the Licensed Material that you have already distributed, where permitted, and do not destroy will continue to be governed by this Agreement. Your prior use will also continue to be governed by this Agreement.

This provision shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

11.              GOVERNMENT CONTRACT COMPLIANCE.

11.1.        If you sell Authorized Systems directly to any government or public entity, including U.S., state, local, foreign or international governments or public entities, or indirectly via a prime contractor or subcontractor of such governments or entities, Licensor makes no representations, certifications, or warranties whatsoever about compliance with government or public entity acquisition statutes or regulations, including, without limitation, statutes or regulations that may relate to pricing, quality, origin or content.

11.2.        The Licensed Materials have been developed at private expense and are a "Commercial Item" as defined in 48 C.F.R. Section 2.101, consisting of "Commercial Computer Software", and/or "Commercial Computer Software Documentation," as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. Section 12.212 (or 48 C.F.R. Section 227.7202, as applicable) and may only be licensed to or shared with U.S. Government end users in object code form as part of, or embedded within, Authorized Systems.  Any agreement pursuant to which you share the Licensed Materials will include a provision that reiterates the limitations of this document and requires all sub-agreements to similarly contain such limitations. 

12.           CRITICAL APPLICATIONS.  In some cases, NXP may promote certain products or software for use in the development of, or for incorporation into, products or services (a) used in applications requiring fail-safe performance or (b) in which failure could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage (these products and services are referred to as "Critical Applications"). NXP's goal is to educate customers so that they can design their own end-product solutions to meet applicable functional safety standards and requirements. Licensee makes the ultimate design decisions regarding its products and is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory, safety, and security related requirements concerning its products, regardless of any information or support that may be provided by NXP. As such, Licensee assumes all risk related to use of the Licensed Materials in Critical Applications and NXP SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SUCH USE IN CRITICAL APPLICATIONS BY LICENSEE. Accordingly, Licensee will indemnify and hold NXP harmless from any claims, liabilities, damages and associated costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) that NXP may incur related to Licensee’s incorporation of the Licensed Materials in a Critical Application.

13.              CHOICE OF LAW; VENUE.  This Agreement will be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of The Netherlands, without regard to conflicts of laws principles, will apply to all matters relating to this Agreement or the Licensed Materials, and you agree that any litigation will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this document.   

14.              CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.  You must treat the Licensed Materials as confidential information and you agree to retain the Licensed Materials in confidence perpetually, even after termination of this Agreement.  During this period, you may not disclose any part of the Licensed Materials to anyone other than your employees, or subcontractors in accordance with Section 2.2, who have a need to know of the Licensed Materials and who have executed written agreements obligating them to protect such Licensed Materials to at least the same degree of care as in this Agreement.  You agree to use the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, with the Licensed Materials as you do with your own confidential information. You may disclose Licensed Materials to the extent required by a court or under operation of law or order provided that you notify Licensor of such requirement prior to disclosure, which you only disclose information required, and that you allow Licensor the opportunity to object to such court or other legal body requiring such disclosure.

15.           TRADEMARKS.  You are not authorized to use any Licensor trademarks, brand names, or logos.

16.           ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Licensor regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes all prior communications, negotiations, understandings, agreements or representations, either written or oral, if any.  This Agreement may only be amended in written form, signed by you and Licensor.

17.           SEVERABILITY.  If any provision of this Agreement is held for any reason to be invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining provisions of this Agreement will be unimpaired and, unless a modification or replacement of the invalid or unenforceable provision is further held to deprive you or Licensor of a material benefit, in which case the Agreement will immediately terminate, the invalid or unenforceable provision will be replaced with a provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to the intention underlying the invalid or unenforceable provision.

18.           NO WAIVER.  The waiver by Licensor of any breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or a subsequent breach of the same or a different provision.

19.           AUDIT.  You will keep full, clear and accurate records with respect to your compliance with the limited license rights granted under this Agreement for three years following expiration or termination of this Agreement. Licensor will have the right, either itself or through an independent certified public accountant to examine and audit, at Licensor’s expense, not more than once a year, and during normal business hours, all such records that may bear upon your compliance with the limited license rights granted above. You must make prompt adjustment to compensate for any errors and/or omissions disclosed by such examination or audit.
