License For Customer Use of NVIDIA Software
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTICE -- READ CAREFULLY: This License For Customer Use of
|
|
NVIDIA Software ("LICENSE") is the agreement which governs use of the software of
|
|
NVIDIA Corporation and its subsidiaries ("NVIDIA") downloadable herefrom,
|
|
including computer software and associated printed materials ("SOFTWARE").
|
|
By downloading, installing, copying, or otherwise using the SOFTWARE, you

terms of this LICENSE, do not download the SOFTWARE.

RECITALS
|
|
|
|
Use of NVIDIA's products requires three elements: the SOFTWARE, the
|
|
hardware on a graphics controller board, and a personal computer. The
|
|
SOFTWARE is protected by copyright laws and international copyright
|
|
treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. The
|
|
SOFTWARE is not sold, and instead is only licensed for use, strictly in
|
|
accordance with this document. The hardware is protected by various
|
|
patents, and is sold, but this agreement does not cover that sale, since it
|
|
may not necessarily be sold as a package with the SOFTWARE. This agreement
|
|
sets forth the terms and conditions of the SOFTWARE LICENSE only.
