PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. BY PURCHASING, INSTALLING AND/OR USING THE SOFTWARE (INCLUDING ITS COMPONENTS), YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS, DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE. AN INDIVIDUAL ACTING ON BEHALF OF AN ENTITY REPRESENTS THAT HE OR SHE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THAT ENTITY.

This SUSE Software License Agreement (“Agreement”) is a legal agreement between You (an entity or a person) and SUSE LLC (“SUSE”). The software product identified in the title of this Agreement, its structure, organization, and accompanying documentation (collectively the “Software”) is protected by the copyright laws and treaties of the United States and other countries and is subject to the terms of this Agreement. Any modification, update, enhancement or upgrade to the Software that You may download or receive that are not accompanied by a SUSE software license agreement expressly is included as Software and governed by this Agreement. 

LICENSES. The Software and each of its components are owned by SUSE or other licensors and are protected under copyright laws and other applicable laws. Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, SUSE grants to You a perpetual, non-transferable, worldwide license to reproduce and use copies of the Software within Your Organization (as defined below). Many of the individual components included in the Software are licensed pursuant to an open source license identified in the documentation or located in the source code or binary code for the component.  This Agreement does not limit Your rights under such licenses or supersede or conflict with the license terms or obligations for use of any individual open source component.  
"Organization" means a legal entity, excluding subsidiaries and affiliates with a separate existence for tax purposes or for legal personality purposes. An example of an Organization in the private sector would be a corporation, partnership, or trust, excluding any subsidiaries or affiliates of the organization with a separate tax identification number or company registration number. In the public sector, an example of Organization would be a specific government body or local government authority.

SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES.  SUSE sells Subscription Services for the Software that entitle You to fee based technical support and internal use of Software updates provided during the Subscription Service period purchased and subject to the terms of the applicable Subscription Service offering. The fee charged for Subscription Services for this Software is based on the total number of units of the Software You deploy, install or use (“units” of the Software is defined by SUSE in the applicable subscription offering). 

MARKS. No right or license, express or implied, is granted under this Agreement with respect to any trademark, trade name or service mark of SUSE or its affiliates or licensors (“Mark”). If You distribute any open source component of the Software, You must remove all Marks except those used to identify SUSE’s ownership or licensing of the component.

TERMS AND RESTRICTIONS

SUSE reserves all rights not expressly granted to You. You may not: (1) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software except and only to the extent it is expressly permitted by applicable law; or (2) transfer the Software or Your license rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part.

SUSE has no obligation to provide support or maintenance unless You purchase an offering that expressly includes support or maintenance services. If You make such a purchase and no separate agreement specifically applies to the support or maintenance services, then the terms of this Agreement will govern the provision of such support or maintenance services (“Services”). For more information on SUSE's current support offerings, see http://www.suse.com/support.

OWNERSHIP RIGHTS

No title to or ownership of the Software is transferred to You. SUSE and/or its licensors retain all right, title and interest in and to all intellectual property rights in the Software and Services, including any adaptations or copies thereof. Any materials You receive as part of the Services that are not accompanied by terms expressly superseding this Agreement are Software and governed by this Agreement. You acquire only a conditional license to use the Software. The Software is licensed (not sold) to You.

LIMITED WARRANTY

Except as agreed to under a separate written agreement with SUSE or as may be set forth in the license terms accompanying a particular component, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, the Software is provided and licensed "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, non-infringement, or fitness for a particular purpose.  For sixty (60) days from the date of delivery, SUSE warrants that any media on which the Software is delivered is free from physical defects under normal use.  If the defective items are returned to SUSE or if You report the nonconformity to SUSE within the sixty (60) day warranty period, SUSE will at its option either replace the media or refund the fees You paid for the media. This warranty extends only to media provided by SUSE.  Any unauthorized use or modification of the Software voids this warranty.

Other Services. SUSE warrants that any consulting or technical support services purchased absent a separate written agreement for such services will be supplied in a professional manner in accordance with generally accepted industry standards. This warranty will be effective for ninety (90) days following delivery of the Services. Upon any breach of this warranty, SUSE's only obligation is to either correct the Services so that they comply with this warranty or at its option refund the amount You paid to SUSE for the portion of the Services that fail to comply with this warranty. As files may be altered or damaged in the course of SUSE providing technical services, You agree to take appropriate measures to isolate and back up Your systems.

THE SOFTWARE IS NOT DESIGNED, MANUFACTURED OR INTENDED FOR USE OR DISTRIBUTION WITH ON-LINE CONTROL EQUIPMENT IN HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS REQUIRING FAIL-SAFE PERFORMANCE, SUCH AS IN THE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES, AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION, COMMUNICATION, OR CONTROL SYSTEMS, DIRECT LIFE SUPPORT MACHINES, WEAPONS SYSTEMS, OR OTHER USES IN WHICH FAILURE OF THE SOFTWARE COULD LEAD DIRECTLY TO DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR SEVERE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE.

THE SOFTWARE IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH CERTAIN COMPUTERS AND OPERATING SYSTEMS. THE SOFTWARE IS NOT WARRANTED FOR NON-COMPATIBLE SYSTEMS. Call SUSE or Your reseller for information about compatibility.

Non-SUSE Products. The Software may include or be bundled with hardware or other software programs or services licensed or sold by an entity other than SUSE. SUSE DOES NOT WARRANT NON-SUSE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. ANY SUCH PRODUCTS OR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS. WARRANTY SERVICE IF ANY FOR NON-SUSE PRODUCTS IS PROVIDED BY THE PRODUCT LICENSOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE LICENSOR WARRANTY.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE RESTRICTED BY LAW, SUSE DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. SUSE MAKES NO WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION OR PROMISE NOT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. SUSE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES WILL SATISFY YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers and limitations of warranties, so portions of the above limitations may not apply to You. This limited warranty gives You specific rights and You may also have other rights which vary by state or jurisdiction.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

(a) Consequential Losses. NEITHER SUSE NOR ANY OF ITS LICENSORS, SUBSIDIARIES, OR EMPLOYEES WILL IN ANY CASE BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, TORT, ECONOMIC OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS OR DATA, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES.
(b) Direct Damages. IN NO EVENT WILL SUSE'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR DIRECT DAMAGES TO PROPERTY OR PERSON (WHETHER IN ONE INSTANCE OR A SERIES OF INSTANCES) EXCEED 1.25 TIMES THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES OUT OF WHICH SUCH CLAIM AROSE [OR $50 (U.S.) IF YOU RECEIVED THE SOFTWARE FREE OF CHARGE]. The above exclusions and limitations will not apply to claims relating to death or personal injury. In those jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of damages, SUSE's liability shall be limited or excluded to the maximum extent allowed within those jurisdictions.

GENERAL TERMS

Term. This Agreement becomes effective on the date You legally acquire the Software and will automatically terminate if You breach any of its terms. 

Verification.  SUSE has the right to verify Your compliance with this Agreement. You agree to: a) Implement internal safeguards to prevent any unauthorized copying, distribution, installation, or use of, or access to, the Software and associated maintenance; b) Keep records sufficient to certify Your compliance with this Agreement (including any Product Use Rights Appendix), and, upon request of SUSE, provide and certify metrics and/or reports based upon such records and account for both numbers of copies (by product and version) and network architectures as they may reasonably relate to Your licensing and deployment of the Software and associated maintenance; and c) Allow a SUSE representative or an independent auditor to inspect and audit Your computers and records, during Your normal business hours, for compliance with the licensing terms for SUSE’s software products or associated maintenance. Upon SUSE’s and auditor’s presentation of their signed written confidentiality statement form to safeguard Your confidential information, You shall fully cooperate with such audit and provide any necessary assistance and access to records and computers. If an audit reveals that You have or at any time have had unlicensed installation, use of, or access to the Software, You will within 30 days purchase sufficient licenses and/or subscriptions and associated maintenance to cover the volume and time period of any shortfall without benefit of any otherwise applicable discount. If a material license shortfall of 5% or more is found, You must reimburse SUSE for the costs incurred in the audit.

Benchmark Testing. This benchmark testing restriction applies to You if You are a software developer or licensor or if You are performing testing on the Software at the direction of or on behalf of a software developer or licensor. You may not, without SUSE's prior written consent not to be unreasonably withheld, publish or disclose to any third party the results of any benchmark test of the Software. If You are a licensor of products that are functionally similar to or compete with the Software ("Similar Products"), or are acting on behalf of such a licensor, and You publish or disclose benchmark information on the Software in violation of this restriction, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Similar Product's end user license agreement, and in addition to any other remedies SUSE may have, SUSE shall have the right to perform benchmark testing on Similar Products and to disclose and publish that benchmark information and You hereby represent that You have authority to grant such right to SUSE.

Transfer. This Agreement may not be transferred or assigned without the prior written approval of SUSE.

If, however, Your country of principal residence is a member state of the European Union or the European Free Trade Association, this Agreement is governed by the laws of that country, and any action at law may only be brought before a court of competent jurisdiction of that country.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between You and SUSE and may be amended or modified only by a written agreement agreed to by You and an authorized representative of SUSE. NO LICENSOR, DISTRIBUTOR, DEALER, RETAILER, RESELLER, SALES PERSON, OR EMPLOYEE IS AUTHORIZED TO MODIFY THIS AGREEMENT OR TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR PROMISE THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM, OR IN ADDITION TO, THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Waiver. No waiver of any right under this Agreement will be effective unless in writing, signed by a duly authorized representative of the party to be bound. No waiver of any past or present right arising from any breach or failure to perform will be deemed to be a waiver of any future right arising under this Agreement.
