DELL SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
3
This is a legal agreement between you, the user, and Dell Products, L.P
4
("Dell"). This agreement covers all software that is distributed with the
5
Dell product, for which there is no separate license agreement between you
6
and the manufacturer or owner of the software (collectively the
7
"Software"). This agreement is not for the sale of Software or any other
8
intellectual property. All title and intellectual property rights in and
9
to Software is owned by the manufacturer or owner of the Software. All
10
rights not expressly granted under this agreement are reserved by the
11
manufacturer or owner of the Software. By opening or breaking the seal on
12
the Software packet(s), installing or downloading the Software, or using
13
the Software that has been preloaded or is embedded in your product, you
14
agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. If you do not agree to
15
these terms, promptly return all Software items (disks, written materials,
16
and packaging) and delete any preloaded or embedded Software.
18
You may use one copy of the Software on only one computer at a time. If
19
you have multiple licenses for the Software, you may use as many copies at
20
any time as you have licenses. "Use" means loading the Software in
21
temporary memory or permanent storage on the computer. Installation on a
22
network server solely for distribution to other computers is not "use" if
23
(but only if) you have a separate license for each computer to which the
24
Software is distributed. You must ensure that the number of persons using
25
the Software installed on a network server does not exceed the number of
26
licenses that you have. If the number of users of Software installed on a
27
network server will exceed the number of licenses, you must purchase
28
additional licenses until the number of licenses equals the number of
29
users before allowing additional users to use the Software. If you are a
30
commercial customer of Dell or a Dell affiliate, you hereby grant Dell, or
31
an agent selected by Dell, the right to perform an audit of your use of
32
the Software during normal business hours, you agree to cooperate with
33
Dell in such audit, and you agree to provide Dell with all records
34
reasonably related to your use of the Software. The audit will be limited
35
to verification of your compliance with the terms of this agreement.
37
The Software is protected by United States copyright laws and international
38
treaties. You may make one copy of the Software solely for backup or
39
archival purposes or transfer it to a single hard disk provided you keep
40
the original solely for backup or archival purposes. You may not rent or
41
lease the Software or copy the written materials accompanying the Software,
42
but you may transfer the Software and all accompanying materials on a
43
permanent basis as part of a sale or transfer of the Dell product if you
44
retain no copies and the recipient agrees to the terms hereof. Any
45
transfer must include the most recent update and all prior versions.
46
You may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software.
47
If the package accompanying your computer contains compact discs, 3.5"
48
and/or 5.25" disks, you may use only the disks appropriate for your
49
computer. You may not use the disks on another computer or network, or
50
loan, rent, lease, or transfer them to another user except as permitted
55
Dell warrants that the Software disks will be free from defects in
56
materials and workmanship under normal use for ninety (90) days from the
57
date you receive them. This warranty is limited to you and is not
58
transferable. Any implied warranties are limited to ninety (90) days from
59
the date you receive the Software. Some jurisdictions do not allow limits
60
on the duration of an implied warranty, so this limitation may not apply
61
to you. The entire liability of Dell and its suppliers, and your exclusive
62
remedy, shall be (a) return of the price paid for the Software or
63
(b) replacement of any disk not meeting this warranty that is sent with a
64
return authorization number to Dell, at your cost and risk. This limited
65
warranty is void if any disk damage has resulted from accident, abuse,
66
misapplication, or service or modification by someone other than Dell.
67
Any replacement disk is warranted for the remaining original warranty
68
period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer.
70
Dell does NOT warrant that the functions of the Software will meet your
71
requirements or that operation of the Software will be uninterrupted or
72
error free. You assume responsibility for selecting the Software to
73
achieve your intended results and for the use and results obtained from
76
DELL, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS SUPPLIERS, DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER
77
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED
78
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, FOR
79
THE SOFTWARE AND ALL ACCOMPANYING WRITTEN MATERIALS. This limited
80
warranty gives you specific legal rights; you may have others, which
81
vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
83
IN NO EVENT SHALL DELL OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES
84
WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS
85
PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, OR OTHER
86
PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT OF USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN
87
IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Because some jurisdictions
88
do not allow an exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or
89
incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you.
91
U.S. GOVERNMENT RESTRICTED RIGHTS
93
The software and documentation are "commercial items" as that term is
94
defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of "commercial computer software"
95
and "commercial computer software documentation" as such terms are used in
96
48 C.F.R. 12.212. Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R.
97
227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, all U.S. Government end users acquire the
98
software and documentation with only those rights set forth herein.
99
Contractor/manufacturer is Dell Products, L.P., One Dell Way, Round Rock,
104
This license is effective until terminated. It will terminate upon the
105
conditions set forth above or if you fail to comply with any of its terms.
106
Upon termination, you agree that the Software and accompanying materials,
107
and all copies thereof, will be destroyed. This agreement is governed by
108
the laws of the State of Texas. Each provision of this agreement is
109
severable. If a provision is found to be unenforceable, this finding
110
does not affect the enforceability of the remaining provisions, terms, or
111
conditions of this agreement. This agreement is binding on successors and
112
assigns. Dell agrees and you agree to waive, to the maximum extent
113
permitted by law, any right to a jury trial with respect to the Software
114
or this agreement. Because this waiver may not be effective in some
115
jurisdictions, this waiver may not apply to you. You acknowledge that you
116
have read this agreement, that you understand it, that you agree to be
117
bound by its terms, and that this is the complete and exclusive statement
118
of the agreement between you and Dell regarding the Software.
