3. CONFIDENTIALITY. Neither party will use the other party’s Confidential Information, except as necessary for the
performance of this EULA, nor will either party disclose such Confidential Information to any third party, except to
personnel of NVIDIA or its Affiliates, you, your Enterprise or your Contractors that have a need to know such
Confidential Information for the performance of this EULA, provided that each such personnel, employee and
Contractor is subject to a written agreement that includes confidentiality obligations consistent with those set forth
herein. Each party will use all reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of all of the other party’s Confidential
Information in its possession or control, but in no event less than the efforts that it ordinarily uses with respect to its
own Confidential Information of similar nature and importance. The foregoing obligations will not restrict either party
from disclosing the other party’s Confidential Information or the terms and conditions of this EULA as required under
applicable securities regulations or pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other
governmental body, provided that the party required to make such disclosure (i) gives reasonable notice to the other
party to enable it to contest such order or requirement prior to its disclosure (whether through protective orders or
otherwise), (ii) uses reasonable effort to obtain confidential treatment or similar protection to the fullest extent
possible to avoid such public disclosure, and (iii) discloses only the minimum amount of information necessary to
comply with such requirements.
4. OWNERSHIP. The Licensed Software and all modifications, and the respective Intellectual Property Rights therein, are
and will remain the sole and exclusive property of NVIDIA and its licensors, whether the Licensed Software is separate
from or combined with any other products or materials. You shall not engage in any act or omission that would impair
NVIDIA’s and/or its licensors’ Intellectual Property Rights in the Licensed Software or any other materials, information,
processes or subject matter proprietary to NVIDIA. NVIDIA’s licensors are intended third party beneficiaries with the
right to enforce provisions of this EULA with respect to their Confidential Information and/or Intellectual Property
Rights.
5. FEEDBACK. You have no obligation to provide Feedback to NVIDIA. However, NVIDIA or its Affiliates may use and
include any Feedback that you provide to improve the Licensed Software or other NVIDIA products, technologies or
materials. Accordingly, if you provide Feedback, you agree that NVIDIA or its Affiliates, at their option, may, and may
permit their licensees, to make, have made, use, have used, reproduce, license, distribute and otherwise
commercialize the Feedback in the Licensed Software or in other NVIDIA products, technologies or materials without
the payment of any royalties or fees to you. All Feedback becomes the sole property of NVIDIA and may be used in any
manner NVIDIA sees fit, and you hereby assign to NVIDIA all of your right, title and interest in and to any Feedback.
NVIDIA has no obligation to respond to Feedback or to incorporate Feedback into the Licensed Software.
6. NO WARRANTIES. THE LICENSED SOFTWARE AND NVIDIA CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION (IF ANY PROVIDED) ARE
PROVIDED BY NVIDIA "AS IS" AND "WITH ALL FAULTS," AND NVIDIA EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES
OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY
WARRANTIES OF OPERABILITY, CONDITION, VALUE, ACCURACY OF DATA, OR QUALITY, AS WELL AS ANY WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY, SYSTEM INTEGRATION, WORKMANSHIP, SUITABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF ANY DEFECTS THEREIN, WHETHER LATENT OR PATENT. NO WARRANTY IS

WILL BE CORRECTED. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NVIDIA’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS EULA ARE FOR THE BENEFIT OF
YOU ONLY. Nothing in this warranty section affects any statutory rights of consumers or other recipients to the extent
that they cannot be waived or limited by contract under applicable law.
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NVIDIA OR ITS LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE
LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF GOODWILL), OR THE COSTS OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE
PRODUCTS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS EULA OR THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE LICENSED
SOFTWARE AND NVIDIA CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION (IF ANY PROVIDED), WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM ANY
CLAIM BASED UPON BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT
LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION OR THEORY OF LIABILITY AND WHETHER OR NOT NVIDIA HAS BEEN ADVISED
OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL NVIDIA’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY UNDER OR ARISING
OUT OF THIS EULA EXCEED TEN U.S. DOLLARS (US$10.00). THE NATURE OF THE LIABILITY, THE NUMBER OF CLAIMS OR
SUITS OR THE NUMBER OF PARTIES WITHIN YOUR ENTERPRISE THAT ACCEPTED THE TERMS OF THIS EULA SHALL NOT
ENLARGE OR EXTEND THIS LIMIT. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER NVIDIA OR ITS
LICENSORS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY REMEDY
FAILS ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. The disclaimers, exclusions and limitations of liability set forth in this EULA form an
essential basis of the bargain between the parties, and, absent any such disclaimers, exclusions or limitations of liability,
the provisions of this EULA, including, without limitation, the economic terms, would be substantially different.

upon written notice in the event of breach of any of the terms of this EULA. Termination of this EULA shall not release
the parties from any liability which, at the time of termination, has already accrued or which thereafter may accrue with
respect to any act or omission before termination, or from any obligation which is expressly stated in this EULA to survive
termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the party terminating this EULA shall incur no additional liability merely by
virtue of such termination. Termination of this EULA regardless of cause or nature shall be without prejudice to any other
rights or remedies of the parties and shall be without liability for any loss or damage occasioned thereby. Upon any
expiration or termination of this EULA
(i) you must promptly discontinue use of the Licensed Software, and
(ii) you must promptly destroy or return to NVIDIA all copies of the Licensed Software and all portions thereof in
your possession or control, and each party will promptly destroy or return to the other all of the other party’s
Confidential Information within its possession or control. Upon written request, you will certify in writing that
you have complied with your obligations under this section. Sections 2 through 10 will survive the expiration or
