NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY TI WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY.

NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE CONSTRUED AS A WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION BY TI TO MAINTAIN PRODUCTION OF ANY TI DEVICE OR OTHER HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE WITH WHICH THE LICENSED MATERIALS MAY BE USED.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE LICENSED MATERIALS HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED OR CERTIFIED BY ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY OR INDUSTRY REGULATORY ORGANIZATION OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY ORGANIZATION. YOU AGREE TO USE YOUR INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT IN DEVELOPING YOUR PRODUCTS. YOU AGREE THAT PRIOR TO USING OR INCORPORATING OR DISTRIBUTING THE LICENSED MATERIALS IN OR WITH ANY COMMERCIAL PRODUCT THAT YOU WILL THOROUGHLY TEST THE PRODUCT AND THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE LICENSED MATERIALS IN OR WITH THAT PRODUCT AND BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS OR FAILURES.

CERTAIN LICENSED MATERIALS MAY BE PRE-RELEASE VERSIONS. PRE-RELEASE VERSIONS DO NOT REPRESENT A FINAL AND GENERALLY AVAILABLE VERSION OF THE LICENSED MATERIALS, AND MAY BE UNDERGOING TESTING AND FURTHER MODIFICATION BY TI. THE PRE-RELEASE VERSIONS ARE NOT AT THE LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE AND COMPATIBILITY OF A FINAL RELEASE VERSION. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SUCH PRE-RELEASE VERSIONS MAY CONTAIN IRREGULARITIES NOT FOUND IN A FINAL RELEASE VERSION, SUCH AS BUGS, ERRORS, INCONSISTENCIES AND OTHER PROBLEMS, AND THEREFORE ARE NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES OR PRODUCTION PRODUCTS. YOU ARE ADVISED WHEN USING PRE-RELEASE VERSIONS TO SAFEGUARD YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND BACKUP IMPORTANT DATA, TO USE CAUTION, AND NOT TO RELY IN ANY WAY ON THE CORRECT FUNCTIONING OR PERFORMANCE OF THE PRE-RELEASE VERSIONS. FINAL RELEASE VERSIONS MAY BE DIFFERENT FROM THE PRE-RELEASE VERSIONS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO HAVING DIFFERENT OPERATION OR DIFFERENT FUNCTIONALITY. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE CONSTRUED AS A WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION BY TI TO RELEASE A FINAL RELEASE VERSION OF A PRE-RELEASE VERSION IN THE FUTURE.

IN NO EVENT WILL TI OR TI’S LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIALS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. EXCLUDED DAMAGES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, COST OF REMOVAL OR REINSTALLATION, OUTSIDE COMPUTER TIME, LABOR COSTS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF SAVINGS, OR LOSS OF USE OR INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS. IN NO EVENT WILL TI’S OR TI’S LICENSORS’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIALS EXCEED FIVE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$500).

Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to You.

You hereby agree and acknowledge that TI may freely use and share that information and data (including with or through its affiliates, partners, and service providers) to, among other things, support the Licensed Materials, use to make improvements or enhancements to the Licensed Materials, and develop, promote, support, and enhance TI products and offerings.

9.	Security.

a.	Security. Neither TI nor its licensors will be liable or responsible in any way if unauthorized persons gain access to, copy, change, delete, or damage data, information, applications, code, functions, features, or operation of the Licensee Products. You are responsible for properly configuring and using TI Devices or Licensed Materials and taking Your own independent steps to maintain appropriate security and protection of Your Licensee Products and any associated data from unauthorized access.

b.	Security Keys. If the Licensed Materials are used to embed security keys in TI Devices via e-fusing, this provision applies. You may not use development keys in production. You are solely responsible for evaluating the adequacy of, selecting, obtaining, or generating any keys that may be used in Licensee Products, including obtaining all necessary rights, licenses, and authorizations in and to those keys. TI is not responsible for the integrity, operation, or security of Your keys in TI Devices or their use in Licensee Products, or for the consequences of third parties using, gaining access, overcoming or bypassing such keys.

10.	High-Risk Applications.

a.	Safety-Critical Applications. Licensed Materials promoted for safety applications are designed and intended to assist You in Your efforts to develop and create applications that comply with the requirements of certain safety standards. However, Your use of the Licensed Materials does not ensure that Your application will meet the requirements of such safety standards or that it will qualify for certification to any particular safety standard. Furthermore, You remain responsible for using Your knowledge and independent judgment to determine the requirements for performance and testing of Your applications as may be (i) required to meet applicable state, national, international and regulatory safety standards, or (ii) required or recommended by functional safety standards. Licensed Materials that are not promoted for safety applications are not designed or intended for use in safety-critical applications and any such use is at Your own risk.

b.	Life-Critical-Medical Applications. You may not use the Licensed Materials in or with Life-Critical-Medical Applications unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.

c.	Indemnification. If  You  use  the  Licensed  Materials  in  a High-Risk Application, You will defend, indemnify, and hold TI harmless against any and all loss, liability, cost, or damage  that  TI incurs as a result of such use.

11.	Indemnification Disclaimer. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT TI AND TI’S LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND WILL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY YOU AGAINST ANY THIRD-PARTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON YOUR MANUFACTURE, USE, OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE LICENSED MATERIALS OR YOUR MANUFACTURE, USE, OFFER FOR SALE, SALE, IMPORTATION OR DISTRIBUTION OF YOUR PRODUCTS THAT INCLUDE OR INCORPORATE THE LICENSED MATERIALS.

12.	No Technical Support Obligation. TI and TI’s licensors have no obligation to install, maintain or support the Licensed Materials.

13.	Notices. All notices to TI will be delivered to Texas Instruments Incorporated, 13588 N. Central Expressway, Mail Station 3999, Dallas, Texas 75243, Attention: Contracts Administration, with a copy to TILegalNotices@list.TI.com. All notices will be deemed served when received by TI.

14.	U.S. Government Contracts. If You intend to use the Licensed Materials in the performance of a U.S. Government contract or subcontract subject to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), TI agrees to comply only with the commercial-item subcontractor flowdown provisions identified in FAR 52.244-6 (July 2021) to the extent such provisions apply to the types of Licensed Materials provided by TI to You.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing by an authorized TI representative, no other FAR provisions, FAR supplement provisions, or other government procurement rules will apply to TI by virtue of any sale of provision of TI goods and services.  Specifically, and without derogation to the foregoing limitation, TI will not provide, and no submission should be deemed as providing, certified cost or pricing data, and TI will not be subject to provisions governing cost allowability, cost accounting, and/or audit rights that may be found in Your U.S. Government contract or subcontract.

TI technical data and computer software are generally developed at TI’s private expense and not in performance of a U.S. Government contract.  TI asserts and should be understood by You and the U.S. Government as retaining proprietary rights in all technical data and computer software provided to You under a U.S. Government contract. Unless separately and expressly agreed in writing by an authorized TI representative, neither the U.S. Government nor any higher-tier contractor under a U.S. Government contract will obtain any rights in TI technical data and computer software beyond the rights provided to TI’s commercial customers for such technical data and computer software.
.
15.	Export Control.

a.	Exports, re-exports, and transfers of Licensed Materials may be subject to U.S. export controls and sanctions.  You acknowledge and agree that: i) You will comply with all applicable laws and regulations; ii) Licensed Materials may not be exported, re-exported, sold or transferred to U.S. embargoed, sanctioned, or restricted destinations, persons, or entities without first obtaining any necessary governmental authorization; and iii) You will provide notice of these compliance obligations to any party obtaining Licensed Materials from You.

b.	Unless any necessary U.S. and other applicable government authorizations are obtained in advance, You may not export, re-export, transfer, purchase, or sell (including, without limitation, by permitting the Licensed Materials to be downloaded) any Licensed Materials: (i) for a military end use; (ii) to a military end user; or (iii) for the design, development, fabrication, or use of nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons or missile technology.  For additional information, see Part 744 of the U.S. Export Administration Regulations.

c.	Each party shall, at its own expense, secure export and import authorizations necessary to fulfill its obligations under this Section 15.  You will indemnify and hold TI (including its agents and representatives) harmless against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of any non-compliance by You with this section.  If any required authorization cannot be obtained, or in the event You breach this Section 15, TI may terminate, cancel, or otherwise be excused from any obligations that it may have under this Agreement.  Licensed Materials classifications are for TI convenience only and shall not be construed as a representation or warranty of any kind; You are responsible for your own compliance obligations.   This section will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

16.	Governing Law; Remedies. This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Texas, without reference to conflict of laws principles. This Agreement will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, or by the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA). The parties agree that non-exclusive jurisdiction for any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement lies within the courts in the State of Texas. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any judgment may be enforced in any United States or foreign court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in any United States or foreign court. You agree that any breach of the Agreement or use of the Licensed Materials beyond the scope of the license granted hereunder would cause irreparable harm for which TI’s remedies at law would be inadequate. You agree that TI will be entitled, in addition to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, to injunctive relief to prevent the breach or threatened breach of any of Your obligations under this Agreement, without the posting of any bond.

17.	Severability; Waiver. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of the Agreement unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible to effectuate the intent of the parties, and the remainder of the Agreement will continue in full force and effect. Failure by TI to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement that may be in place between the parties.

18.	Contingencies. TI will not be in breach of this Agreement and will not be liable for any non-performance or delay in performance if such non-performance or delay is due to a force majeure event or other circumstances beyond TI’s reasonable control.

19.	Entire Agreement. This is the entire agreement between You and TI, and this Agreement supersedes any prior agreement between the parties related to the subject matter of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any signed and effective software license agreement relating to the subject matter will take precedence over this Agreement if such agreement states it will control regardless of any prior or subsequent click-wrap, shrink-wrap, or web-wrap software license agreement. No amendment or modification of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of TI. You warrant and represent that You have obtained all authorizations and other applicable consents required empowering You to enter into this Agreement.
