QNX Momentics End User License Agreement
This QNX Momentics End User License Agreement (comprising Part A - Background, Part B - Standard Terms & Conditions, and Part C - Supplementary / Alternative Third Party Software Terms, collectively "this Agreement") is a legal agreement between you and QSS, and is made effective as of the date of your acceptance of this Agreement, as defined above. The parties agree as follows.
Part A - Background.
A1 QSS has developed and licenses a general purpose modular real-time operating system known as the QNX Neutrino(R) RTOS ("Neutrino RTOS"). Its microkernel architecture provides an extensible operating system framework, which is based on the foundational components of the Platform Core technology. Additional operating system services are implemented by plugging in modules from other elements of the Neutrino RTOS (e.g., File Systems, GUI, Extended Networking, SMP, Browsers, etc.).
QSS also offers related software development tools ("QNX Momentics Development Tools") for developers to use to create Neutrino RTOS-based devices ("Target Systems", as further defined below). The QNX Momentics Development Tools include compilers, debuggers, libraries, headers, utilities, sample source code, etc., in either a command line (Standard Edition) or integrated development environment (Professional Edition) form. Developers may add to their suite by selecting the desired "Technology Development Kits" (sometimes referred to as "TDKs") and/or source components ("Source Kits"). The optional TDKs and Source Kits provide a greater range of technology options and customization capabilities. See the QNX Momentics Development Suite License Guide at http://www.qnx.com/legal/licensing/dev_license/eula/qdslg1_05c.html ("License Guide") for a more detailed description of what's included in each offering. You can also contact QSS for a hardcopy.
In order to do any development you require the "QNX Momentics Development Suite" which includes certain base QNX Momentics Development Tools and Neutrino RTOS runtime components; the QNX Momentics Development Suite is offered in Professional and Standard Editions.
Embedded system developers typically build Target Systems using the QNX Momentics Development Tools by:
(a) developing the requisite code to make the Neutrino RTOS operational on their target hardware (i.e., a board support package comprising IPL, start-up and drivers - various parts of which may be available from QSS in binary form for supported processors and peripherals or which may otherwise be developed from scratch or derived from QSS-supplied sample source code); and
(b) integrating Neutrino RTOS programs, libraries and utilities with files they generate using the QNX Momentics Development Tools in order to define the operating system's operational constraints, to tailor its functionality and, if equipped with a GUI, to tailor its appearance, in order to satisfy the requirements of the intended device.
Over the course of a Target System's life-cycle, developers typically change hardware platforms (requiring a repetition of step (a) above) and/or upgrade software stacks (e.g., to adopt new versions of the Neutrino RTOS, third party software and/or custom components) in order to enhance the device's performance and functionality, or to reduce its cost.
A2 This Agreement is intended to provide you with license rights to the QNX Momentics Development Suite, and to TDK and Source Kit products that you have ordered, to support your Target System development, testing, support, maintenance and enhancement efforts. The QNX Momentics Development Suite products are generally licensed on a Development Seat basis (see below). TDKs and Source Kits are licensed on a Project, Platform or Field of Use basis (also explained below). Subscription licenses and Floating Development Seats may also be available, although some restrictions may apply. Certain Neutrino RTOS components come bundled with the QNX Momentics Development Suite, but must be separately licensed for redistribution. See the QNX Momentics License Guide for a more detailed licensing description.
Runtime components in the TDKs, as well as derivative works created using Source Kits, are generally re-distributable on a royalty-free basis (some exceptions apply - e.g., products with 3rd party royalty-bearing components and Source Kits containing source code for royalty bearing Neutrino RTOS components), provided they are for use in association with a Neutrino RTOS for which all applicable runtime royalties have been paid. Some features and/or components are only available in certain products, for certain target processors, or in optional packages. See the License Guide or contact your authorized QNX sales representative for more information and details on runtime distribution licensing.
Please note that this Agreement does not offer any support or custom engineering services (see http://www.qnx.com/services/index.html for an explanation of QSS's Standard and Priority Support Plan offerings). Contact your authorized QNX sales representative for more information about QSS support plans, or to inquire about your custom engineering service options.
A3 You may require one or more license keys or passwords from QSS to install and use the Software ("License Keys"). License Keys for evaluation and subscription licenses may be time limited. All License Keys are to be treated as Confidential Information of QSS in accordance with the provisions of Section B4 [Confidential Information].

Unless expressly provided otherwise, all third party code is provided to you solely for use in association with the Neutrino RTOS and, in the case of hardware-specific components, only for use in association with hardware from that manufacturer (e.g., any third party code in Epson printer drivers is restricted to use in association with Epson printers only).
(g) Reservations. All rights in the Software not expressly granted are reserved to QSS and its licensors. All Software is licensed on a Development-Seat or Floating-Development-Seat basis, except for Project Software. Project Software may be used on any Authorized Workstations within the licensed Project, Platform or Field of Use, but only to the extent and for so long as the Authorized Workstation is assigned thereto. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement does not authorize the sub-licensing, transfer or distribution of any part of the Software to any third party.
(h) Use Restrictions. Unless expressly permitted by this Agreement, by applicable law, or by QSS in writing, you agree not to:
(1) alter, remove, or cover any trademark, logo, proprietary or licensing notices, labels or marks in or on any part of the Software, including in any "about" box, "flash" / "splash" screen or Documentation. You agree to use reasonable efforts to ensure that all copies of the Software bear any notices, labels or marks contained in or on the original;
(2) use unauthorized License Keys;
(3) decompile, disassemble, decrypt, extract, unbundle, translate or otherwise attempt or assist others to reverse engineer any part of the Software, including circumventing any License Key activation or evaluation period expiry mechanisms, except as necessary, when permitted by an applicable law, to correct defects or achieve inter-operability with complementary programs, for your purposes only, but only if QSS has refused to provide the necessary information or assistance; or
(4) directly or indirectly export, import or transmit the Software to any country in contravention of the laws of that country or the laws of Canada or the United States. Without restricting the foregoing, the Software contains encryption capabilities and certain governments may regulate the export or import of the Software.
Unless QSS has provided you with express written consent, the Software may not be used in any application in which death, personal injury, or severe physical or property damage is a foreseeable consequence of a Software failure (collectively, "High-Risk Applications"), including but not limited to the operation of nuclear facilities, mass transit systems, aircraft navigation or aircraft communication systems, air traffic control, weapon systems, and direct life support machines. QSS expressly disclaims any express or implied warranty or condition of fitness for High-Risk Applications.
(i) Preservation of Rights.
(1) Except as expressly authorized by QSS, you may not: (i) create Derivative Works of Software licensed under this Agreement in any manner that would cause the Software, in whole or in part, to become subject to any of the terms of a Protective License (as defined below); or (ii) distribute the Software (or Derivative Works) licensed under this Agreement in any manner that would cause any Software component to become subject to the terms of a Protective License. A "Protective License" is any license that requires, as a condition of use, modification and/or distribution of software subject to the Protective License, that such software (including derivative works thereof) or other software combined and/or distributed with such software be: (A) disclosed or distributed in source code form; (B) licensed for the purpose of making derivative works; or (C) re-distributable at no charge.
(2) If you are a U.S. government or quasi-government entity, then you should be aware that the Software is a "commercial item", as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation", as such terms are used in 48 CFR 12.1212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.1212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all such customers acquire the Software with only those rights set forth herein. Use, duplication, or disclosure by the U.S. government is subject to restrictions as provided in DFARS 227.7202-1(a) and 227.7202-3(a) (1995), DFARS 252.227-7013 (c)(1)(ii) (OCT 1988), FAR 12.212(a)(1995), FAR 52.227-19, or FAR 52.227-14 (ALT III), as applicable.

B5 IP Indemnity.
(a) QSS will defend you against any Infringement claims, and indemnify and hold you harmless from any Infringement damages finally awarded, in any third party action against you based on the reproduction or use of Type I Software in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided that you give QSS prompt notice of, as well as all authority, information, and assistance (at QSS's expense) necessary or desirable to defend, such claims. In this Section B5, "Infringement" means:
(1) infringement of copyright;
(2) misappropriation of trade secrets by QSS; or
(3) infringement by the Type I Software of any patent, where such patent infringement: (i) is inevitable when reproducing or using the infringing Software alone or in conjunction with equipment that is essential for its use; and (ii) has not been disclaimed in the applicable License Guide (see Section C1(h) [Limited Patent License] below). Infringement does not include any infringement or misappropriation of any kind caused by the creation, reproduction, combination, use, distribution or sale of Derivative Works, or any other modifications of the Software, made by or for you.
(b) Remedy. With respect to any finding of Infringement, or any reasonable belief of QSS that Infringement may occur, QSS will, at its sole expense and option: (1) procure for you the right to continue using the infringing Software; (2) replace the infringing Software with non-infringing software of comparable function; (3) modify the infringing Software to be non-infringing; or (4) if none of the foregoing alternatives is reasonably available to QSS, terminate your right to the Software, but only to the extent necessary to avoid the Infringement. You will have the right to terminate all of your rights if you determine such partial termination renders your remaining rights ineffective. Upon such full or partial termination, QSS will refund to you, pro-rata to the extent of such termination, the license fees paid by you that are associated with the terminated rights.
(c) Exclusive Remedy. This Section B5 states your exclusive remedy for
infringement of Intellectual Property rights by the Software.
B6 Limited Warranty.
(a) Background. As indicated in Part A, the Neutrino RTOS Software is a general purpose modular realtime operating system. You will select a subset of its modules for use in a unique hardware and software environment to achieve certain functionality and performance. Ultimately, you may find that you cannot achieve your desired results. While QSS is committed to providing a versatile and reliable product, it does not warrant that the Software will function in accordance with corresponding Documentation in every combination of hardware platform, software environment and Software configuration. You acknowledge that Software bugs are likely to be encountered when the Software is used in your particular application. You therefore accept the responsibility of satisfying yourself that the Software is suitable for your intended use. This includes conducting rigorous testing of the Software in combination with your value-added software application(s) on your target hardware platform prior to its initial release, as well as prior to the release of any related software or hardware modifications or enhancements. QSS offers a Priority Support Plan and custom engineering services (both subject to separate agreements) to help developers identify and solve particular Software implementation issues.
(b) Warranty. QSS warrants to you for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of your acceptance of this Agreement, as indicated above, that the Commercially Released Software will be Error free. Your sole remedy, and QSS's sole obligation, for any breach of this warranty will be, at QSS's option, to either:
(1) provide you with a free Solution for use as an interim fix until QSS provides you with a free Commercially Released Software update that corrects the problem; or
(2) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section B8 [Term & Termination] and, upon confirmation that you have complied with Section B8(d) [Implication of Termination], QSS will provide a refund of any license fees that you paid to QSS pursuant to this Agreement for your Development Seat/Floating Development Seat and/or Project Software license (if any).
QSS also warrants any tangible media on which it delivers the Software (if any) to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of QSS's corresponding invoice. QSS is not responsible for media defects that result from accident or abuse. Your sole remedy for any breach of this media warranty will be to receive replacement media.
(c) Warranty Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, THE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS AND ANY SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. NOTHING STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL IMPLY THAT THE OPERATION OF ANY SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE OR THAT ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED. OTHER WRITTEN OR ORAL STATEMENTS BY QSS, ITS REPRESENTATIVES OR OTHERS DO NOT CONSTITUTE WARRANTIES OF QSS.
B7 Limitation of Liability.
(a) Limitation. IN NO EVENT WILL QSS OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, DISTRIBUTORS, OR LICENSORS, (COLLECTIVELY, QSS AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES) BE LIABLE TO YOU, YOUR CONSULTANTS, OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST REVENUE, LOST OR DAMAGED DATA, OR OTHER COMMERCIAL OR ECONOMIC LOSS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY USE OR INABILITY TO USE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, OR ANY SERVICES PROVIDED OR INABILITY TO OBTAIN SERVICES, EVEN IF QSS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE OR CLAIM.
IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF QSS AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES YOU HAVE PAID TO QSS FOR USE OF THE SOFTWARE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS B6(c) [WARRANTY DISCLAIMER] AND THIS SECTION B7 SHALL SURVIVE AND APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.
(b) Third Party Beneficiaries. Certain licensors of QSS, a full list of which is available upon request, are third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement to the extent that this Agreement contains provisions that relate to your use of software in which such licensors have an interest. These provisions are made expressly for the benefit of such licensors and are enforceable by them in addition to QSS. NEITHER QSS NOR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES MAKES OR PASSES ON TO YOU OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES, ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION ON BEHALF OF QSS'S LICENSORS.
B8 Term & Termination
(a) Term of this Agreement. This term of this Agreement will commence on the date of your acceptance of this Agreement, as indicated above, and will continue indefinitely thereafter until it expires or is terminated in whole or in part under subsections (b) or (c) below.
(b) Time Limited Licenses. Subject to the provisions of section B2(c) [Continuing Time Limited Licenses], the term of any subscription-based Software license will expire on the subscription anniversary date, if not renewed. The term of any Project, Platform or Field of Use Software license will expire when the licensed Project, Platform or Field of Use activity ceases. The term of any other time-limited license (i.e. including alliance, partner or similar licenses) will end on the expiry date indicated in the applicable License Certificate. The term of any Software evaluation or trial Software license will expire on the earlier of: (1) the end of the applicable evaluation / trial period, or (2) thirty (30) days after notice from QSS.
(c) Termination. You may terminate this Agreement at any time. It will be deemed to terminate immediately if you fail to comply with any material term herein or if you fail to pay within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice (or such longer period as may be expressly permitted by QSS in writing) any license fees invoiced by QSS for Software licensed pursuant to this Agreement.
(d) Implication of Termination. The provisions of this Agreement that are expressed or by their sense and context are intended to survive the termination of this Agreement will survive, including Section B3 [Ownership], B4 [Confidential Information], B5 [IP Indemnity], B6 [Limited Warranty], B7 [Limitation of Liability], this Section B8 and Section B9 [General]. Except as provided in Section B2(c) [Continuing Time Limited Licenses], when this Agreement terminates or expires for any Software product(s) your associated license rights end and you agree to immediately destroy all whole or partial copies of that Software that are in your possession or control. Termination is without prejudice to any right or remedy that may have accrued, or be accruing to either party prior to termination.
B9 General
(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, comprising Parts A, B and C, along with the License Guide and any other terms expressly referenced by this Agreement (including third party terms referenced in Part C or in the License Guide), constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to its subject matter and supercedes any prior or contemporaneous agreement, representation, statement, negotiation or undertaking dealing with the same subject matter. No amendment, modification or waiver of any part of this Agreement will be binding unless in a written document that expressly refers to this Agreement and that is signed by both parties. The divisions and headings in this Agreement have been included for convenience only and will not affect its construction or interpretation. Except as otherwise expressly contemplated in Part A, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will prevail over any inconsistent or additional terms or conditions of either party's purchase orders or invoices. The terms and conditions of this Agreement will prevail over the terms and conditions of the QNX Source Code Licenses.
(b) Assignment. Subject to the export restrictions in Section B2(h) [Use Restrictions], you may assign this Agreement to a third party who has provided QSS with prior written acknowledgement of their acceptance of the terms of this Agreement. In such a case you must transfer your License Keys to the assignee and destroy all whole or partial copies of the Software and License Keys that are in your possession or control. Project Software may only be assigned in conjunction with a change of ownership, merger, acquisition, sale or transfer of all or substantially all of your business or assets relating to the Project, Platform or Field of Use, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with QSS express written consent (which may be withheld for any reason) you may not assign this Agreement as it relates to Software that is (i) subject to a time-limited license other than that licensed on a subscription basis; (ii) provided under an evaluation or demonstration license; and/or (iii) being used under a license for Non-Commercial Purposes. Any other attempted assignment or delegation in violation of the foregoing will be void and of no effect. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
(c) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws in force in the Province of Ontario, Canada without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. The parties hereby irrevocably waive: (1) the provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, and (2) any right to a trial by jury regarding the resolution of any dispute between the parties hereto arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.
(d) Reference Account. The parties each agree to act as a reference account for each other for activities relating to the Software and your Target System, provided they are given an opportunity to pre-approve the intended reference(s), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Reference activities include, but are not limited to: press releases announcing design wins, media/analyst references, sales/investor references, spotlight on activities in collateral (e.g., case studies, ROI studies, white papers), joint marketing (e.g., trade show events, web casts, seminars, by-lined articles, video testimonials, advertising campaigns, speaking engagements), internal marketing support, and display of each other's name (and, if applicable, display of each other's logo) in marketing/sales collateral and advertising.
PART C - Supplementary / Alternative Software Terms.
C1 Supplementary Terms.
(a) Open Source Terms. QSS and its licensors have used various open source contributions in parts of the Software (e.g., the full TCP/IP protocol stack and many of the TCP/IP utilities are based on the TCP/IP protocol stack and utilities from the popular NetBSD (1.6) distribution). These are referenced in the License Guide and the corresponding license terms are published at http://licensing.qnx.com. To the extent it is entitled, QSS sublicenses these derivative works to you as Type I, Type II or Type III Software, as indicated in the License Guide. Any terms of this Agreement that differ from the terms of these open licenses are offered to you by QSS alone, and not by any other licensor.

You should expect such Software to be somewhat unreliable. It is your responsibility to take adequate precautions to prevent damage to your resources in the event Beta or Experimental Software fails. QSS intends that all Beta (but not necessarily Experimental) Software components will be offered as commercial versions; however, we cannot guarantee if or when this will happen. You should also be aware that significant changes may be made to such components before they are commercially released. Beta and Experimental Software code will be clearly identified as such during installation, or will be clearly marked by QSS in corresponding release notes and/or in associated headers. Contact QSS if you have any questions regarding the release status of any Software.
(f) Trial Software. QSS may include certain Neutrino RTOS applications in the Software solely for demonstration and internal evaluation/trial purposes (e.g., Macromedia Flash 4). Such Software is identified in the License Guide as "Trial Software" and shall be deemed to be Type III Software for the purpose of this Agreement. QSS may require that you obtain distribution and/or support services for such Trial Software directly from QSS's licensor.
