YOU CAN +ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND ACQUIRE THE RIGHTS OUTLINED BELOW BY PAYING +THE AMOUNT ACCORDING TO SECTION 4 ("PAYMENT") TO OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. + + +1 DEFINITIONS + +1.1 "OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT" shall mean OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT Software GmbH, +Grosse Schiffgasse 1A/7, 1020 Wien, AUSTRIA. + +1.2 "You" shall mean the Licensee. + +1.3 "V-USB" shall mean all files included in the package distributed under +the name "vusb" by OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT (http://www.obdev.at/vusb/) +unless otherwise noted. This includes the firmware-only USB device +implementation for Atmel AVR microcontrollers, some simple device examples +and host side software examples and libraries. + + +2 LICENSE GRANTS + +2.1 Source Code. OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT shall furnish you with the source +code of V-USB. + +2.2 Distribution and Use. OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT grants you the +non-exclusive right to use, copy and distribute V-USB with your hardware +product(s), restricted by the limitations in section 3 below. + +2.3 Modifications. OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT grants you the right to modify +the source code and your copy of V-USB according to your needs. + +2.4 USB IDs. OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT furnishes you with one or two USB +Product ID(s), sent to you in e-mail. These Product IDs are reserved +exclusively for you. OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT has obtained USB Product ID +ranges under the Vendor ID 5824 from Wouter van Ooijen (Van Ooijen +Technische Informatica, www.voti.nl) and under the Vendor ID 8352 from +Jason Kotzin (Clay Logic, www.claylogic.com). Both owners of the Vendor IDs +have obtained these IDs from the USB Implementers Forum, Inc. +(www.usb.org). OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT disclaims all liability which might +arise from the assignment of USB IDs. + +2.5 USB Certification. Although not part of this agreement, we want to make +it clear that you cannot become USB certified when you use V-USB or a USB +Product ID assigned by OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. AVR microcontrollers don't +meet the electrical specifications required by the USB specification and +the USB Implementers Forum certifies only members who bought a Vendor ID of +their own. + + +3 LICENSE RESTRICTIONS + +3.1 Number of Units. Only one of the following three definitions is +applicable. Which one is determined by the amount you pay to OBJECTIVE +DEVELOPMENT, see section 4 ("Payment") below. + +Hobby License: You may use V-USB according to section 2 above in no more +than 5 hardware units. These units must not be sold for profit. + +Entry Level License: You may use V-USB according to section 2 above in no +more than 150 hardware units. + +Professional License: You may use V-USB according to section 2 above in +any number of hardware units, except for large scale production ("unlimited +fair use"). Quantities below 10,000 units are not considered large scale +production. If your reach quantities which are obviously large scale +production, you must pay a license fee of 0.10 EUR per unit for all units +above 10,000. + +3.2 Rental. You may not rent, lease, or lend V-USB or otherwise encumber +any copy of V-USB, or any of the rights granted herein. + +3.3 Transfer. You may not transfer your rights under this Agreement to +another party without OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT's prior written consent. If +such consent is obtained, you may permanently transfer this License to +another party. The recipient of such transfer must agree to all terms and +conditions of this Agreement. + +3.4 Reservation of Rights. OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT retains all rights not +expressly granted. + +3.5 Non-Exclusive Rights. Your license rights under this Agreement are +non-exclusive. + +3.6 Third Party Rights. This Agreement cannot grant you rights controlled +by third parties. In particular, you are not allowed to use the USB logo or +other trademarks owned by the USB Implementers Forum, Inc. without their +consent. Since such consent depends on USB certification, it should be +noted that V-USB will not pass certification because it does not +implement checksum verification and the microcontroller ports do not meet +the electrical specifications. + + +4 PAYMENT + +The payment amount depends on the variation of this agreement (according to +section 3.1) into which you want to enter. Concrete prices are listed on +OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT's web site, usually at +http://www.obdev.at/vusb/license.html. You agree to pay the amount listed +there to OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT or OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT's payment processor +or reseller. + + +5 COPYRIGHT AND OWNERSHIP + +V-USB is protected by copyright laws and international copyright +treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. V-USB +is licensed, not sold. + + +6 TERM AND TERMINATION + +6.1 Term. This Agreement shall continue indefinitely. However, OBJECTIVE +DEVELOPMENT may terminate this Agreement and revoke the granted license and +USB-IDs if you fail to comply with any of its terms and conditions. + +6.2 Survival of Terms. All provisions regarding secrecy, confidentiality +and limitation of liability shall survive termination of this agreement. + + +7 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY AND LIABILITY + +LIMITED WARRANTY. V-USB IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY +KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OBJECTIVE +DEVELOPMENT AND ITS SUPPLIERS HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EITHER +EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES +OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND +NON-INFRINGEMENT, WITH REGARD TO V-USB, AND THE PROVISION OF OR FAILURE +TO PROVIDE SUPPORT SERVICES. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL +RIGHTS. YOU MAY HAVE OTHERS, WHICH VARY FROM STATE/JURISDICTION TO +STATE/JURISDICTION. + +LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, +IN NO EVENT SHALL OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY +SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER +(INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, +BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY +LOSS) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE V-USB OR THE +PROVISION OF OR FAILURE TO PROVIDE SUPPORT SERVICES, EVEN IF OBJECTIVE +DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ANY +CASE, OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT'S ENTIRE LIABILITY UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS +AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU FOR V-USB. + + +8 MISCELLANEOUS TERMS + +8.1 Marketing. OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT has the right to mention for marketing +purposes that you entered into this agreement. + +8.2 Entire Agreement. This document represents the entire agreement between +OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT and you. It may only be modified in writing signed by +an authorized representative of both, OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT and you. + +8.3 Severability. In case a provision of these terms and conditions should +be or become partly or entirely invalid, ineffective, or not executable, +the validity of all other provisions shall not be affected. + +8.4 Applicable Law. This agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic +of Austria. + +8.5 Responsible Courts. The responsible courts in Vienna/Austria will have +exclusive jurisdiction regarding all disputes in connection with this +agreement. + |
