This Software License Agreement (the “Agreement”) is a legal agreement between Analog Devices, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, with its principal office at One Technology Way, Norwood, Massachusetts, USA 02062 (“Analog Devices”) and you (personally or on behalf of your employer, as applicable) (“Licensee”) for the software and related documentation that accompanies this Agreement (the “Licensed Software”). YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, COPYING OR USING THE SOFTWARE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, COPY OR USE THE SOFTWARE.
- Development License. Subject to terms of this Agreement, Analog Devices grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license, without charge, to incorporate Licensed Software in object code form into Licensee products solely for use within Analog Devices products that are incorporated into such Licensee products. The licenses granted under Sections 1 and 2 of this Agreement are limited to the specific Analog Devices products identified in Appendix A to this Agreement.
- Distribution License. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Analog Devices grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, non-sublicensable license, to copy and distribute Licensed Software in object code form solely for use within Analog Devices products that are incorporated into Licensee products. Distribution is limited to Licensed Software in object code form that is incorporated into Licensee products.
- License to Analog Devices. During the term of this Agreement Licensee grants to Analog Devices (and its affiliates) under any and all Licensee (and its affiliates) patents a non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid-up, royalty-free license to make, use, sell, import, export, copy, distribute and otherwise exploit Licensed Software in-whole or in-part (including updated versions of Licensed Software), and to directly or indirectly sub-license others to do the same.
- Restrictions. Licensee shall not modify, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or create derivative works of Licensed Software. Licensee may only copy the Licensed Software as expressly authorized in Sections 1 and 2 above. In no event shall Licensee deliver or disclose the Licensed Software apart from Licensee products to any third party without entering into a written license agreement with Analog Devices expressly permitting such distribution. The Licensed Software may not be used with any products other than Analog Devices’ products or for any other purpose.
Licensee shall not use or distribute the Licensed Software in any manner that would cause Licensed Software, in whole or in part to become subject to any terms of an Excluded License. An “Excluded License” means any license, including licenses for “open source” code (as defined by the Free Software Foundation), that requires as a condition of use, modification, and/or distribution of software subject to the Excluded License, that such software or other software combined and/or distributed with such software be (i) disclosed or distributed in source code form; (ii) licensed for the purpose of making derivative works; or (iii) redistributable at no charge. The restrictions of this section apply regardless of whether the Licensed Software is intended or designed to run in an environment that includes software under an Excluded License. Any license, agreement or other document issued, entered into or granted by Licensee that purports to apply any Excluded License to any portion of Licensed Software shall be null and void with regard to Licensed Software. Under no circumstances will Licensee offer, provide, distribute, or license any Licensed Software (whether in source code form or object code form) under any form of Excluded License.
All rights not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved to Analog Devices and its licensors. Analog Devices and its licensors retain all right, title and interest in the Licensed Software and modifications thereof, including all related patent, copyright and other intellectual property rights, and Licensee shall not take any action inconsistent with such ownership. Any use of the Licensed Software for any purpose other than as expressly licensed hereunder is outside the scope of this Agreement. It is agreed that because of the proprietary nature of the Licensed Software, Analog Devices’ remedies at law for a breach by the Licensee of its obligations under this License or for use of the Licensed Software beyond the scope of the license granted herein will be inadequate and that Analog Devices will, in the event of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief, without the posting of any bond, in addition to all other remedies provided under this License or available at law.
If Analog Devices elects to make any update, upgrade or new version of the Licensed Software (“Updates”) available to Licensee, such Updates shall be deemed to be Licensed Software under this Agreement. If requested by Analog Devices, Licensee shall only use the latest version of the Licensed Software (including Updates). Analog Devices shall have no obligation to provide support or Updates.
- Publicity. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, Licensee may not use any trademark or trade name of Analog Devices or make any public announcement regarding the existence of this Agreement without Analog Devices’ prior written consent. Licensee may not publish or provide the results of any benchmark or comparison tests run on the Licensed Software to any third party without the prior written consent of Analog Devices.
- Feedback. Licensee may from time to time provide suggestions, ideas, comments or other feedback (“Feedback”) to Analog Devices with respect to the Licensed Software. Licensee agrees that all Feedback is and shall be given entirely voluntarily. To the extent Licensee provides such Feedback, however, Licensee hereby grants to Analog Devices a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable license, with the right to sublicense, under Licensee’s intellectual property, to use and disclose Feedback in any manner Analog Devices chooses and to display, perform, copy, make, have made, use, sell, and otherwise dispose of Analog Devices’ and its licensee’s products embodying such Feedback in any manner and via any media Analog Devices chooses, without reference to its source or other obligation to Analog Devices, even if the Feedback is designated as confidential.
- Confidentiality. Licensed Software in source code form and accompanying documentation shall be regarded as “Confidential Information” of Analog Devices and Licensee agrees to protect the confidentiality of Analog Devices’ Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care that it utilizes with respect to its own similar proprietary information (but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care), including without limitation agreeing (i) not to disclose or otherwise permit any other person or entity access to Confidential Information or to use Confidential Information or any part thereof in any form whatsoever, except that such disclosure or access shall be permitted to an employee or consultant of Licensee requiring access to Confidential Information in connection with this Agreement who has signed an agreement obligating the employee/consultant to maintain the confidentiality of confidential information in Licensee’s possession, (ii) to notify Analog Devices promptly and in writing of the circumstances surrounding any suspected possessions, use, or knowledge of Confidential Information other than those authorized by this Agreement, and (iii) not to use Confidential Information for any purpose other than as explicitly set forth herein. Nothing shall restrict Licensee with respect to information or data that is independently developed or is available to the general public otherwise than through any act or default of Licensee.
- Copyright Notice. In no event shall Licensee remove any copyright or other intellectual property notice or other legend contained on or in copies of Licensed Software or displayed by any Licensed Software.
- Third Party Software. The Licensed Software may be accompanied by or include software made available by one or more third parties (“Third Party Software”).

Analog Devices (including its licensors) shall have no liability or responsibility for the operation or performance of the Third Party Software and shall not be liable for any damages, costs, or expenses, direct or indirect, arising out of the performance or failure to perform of the Third Party Software. Analog Devices (including its licensors) shall be entitled to the benefit of any and all limitations of liability and disclaimers of warranties contained in the Third Party Licenses.

- Licensee Requirements. Licensee acknowledges that use or distribution of the Licensed Software may require Licensee to obtain licenses to intellectual property or other consents from one or more third parties. Licensee is responsible for obtaining any and all such required licenses, or permissions regarding the Licensed Software and for the performance of any and all required tests or analysis necessary or appropriate for the determination of the suitability of the Licensed Software for its or its customers’ purposes. Licensee shall defend, indemnify and hold Analog Devices, its licensors, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any damages, fines, penalties, assessments, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) in the event that any claim is brought against an Indemnified Party (i) arising or alleged to arise from Licensee’s use or distribution of Licensed Software or Third Party Software, or (ii) on account of Licensee’s failure to obtain any required license or consent to use or distribute Licensed Software or Third Party Software. Licensee shall bear any and all expenses and pay any and all taxes that may be payable in relation to this Agreement.

LICENSEE AGREES THAT ANY EFFORTS BY ANALOG DEVICES TO MODIFY OR UPDATE LICENSED SOFTWARE OR THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE SHALL NOT BE DEEMED A WAIVER OF THESE LIMITATIONS, AND THAT ANY ANALOG DEVICES WARRANTIES SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE FAILED OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

IN NO EVENT SHALL ANALOG DEVICES’ OR ITS LICENSORS’ CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES TO LICENSEE FOR ANY AND ALL CAUSES WHATSOEVER, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ANY CLAIMS OR ACTIONS, EXCEED THE GREATER OF (1) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100.00 U.S.) OR (2) THE AMOUNT PAID TO ANALOG DEVICES HEREUNDER FOR THE LICENSED SOFTWARE.
Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, and, as such, some portion of the above limitation may not apply to Licensee. In such jurisdictions, Analog Devices' liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
- HIGH RISK APPLICATIONS. THE LICENSED SOFTWARE IS NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED FOR USE IN HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS REQUIRING FAIL-SAFE PERFORMANCE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IN THE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES, AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION OR CONTROL SYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, LIFE SUPPORT MACHINES, WEAPONS SYSTEMS, OR ANY OTHER APPLICATION IN WHICH THE FAILURE OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE COULD LEAD TO DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY OR SEVERE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGES (“HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES”).

This Agreement and any dispute related to the Licensed Software shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States of America, without reference to its principles of conflicts of laws, and, as to matters affecting copyrights, trademarks and patents, in addition, by applicable United States federal law. The parties agree that the jurisdiction and venue of any action with respect to this Agreement shall be in a court of competent subject matter jurisdiction located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and each of the parties hereby agrees to submit itself to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts for the purpose of any such action, except that Analog Devices may seek injunctive relief in any venue of its choosing. Licensee hereby submits to personal jurisdiction in such courts. The parties hereto specifically exclude the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act from this Agreement and any transaction between them that may be implemented in connection with this Agreement. The original of this Agreement has been written in English. The parties hereto waive any statute, law, or regulation that might provide an alternative law or forum or to have this Agreement written in any language other than English.

- Waiver; Modification; Severability. No waiver, consent, modification or change of terms of this Agreement shall bind either party unless in writing signed by both parties, and then such waiver, consent, modification or change shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. If any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable, such provision shall be enforced to the extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
- Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes any and all other agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties with respect to the matters stated herein. If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the remainder of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall continue in force and effect to the full extent allowed by law.
