IMPORTANT - READ BEFORE COPYING, INSTALLING OR USING
Do not use or load any of the software and any associated materials provided by NVIDIA on this extranet site (collectively, the "Software") until You have carefully read the following terms and conditions. By loading or using the Software, You agree to fully comply with the terms and conditions of this Software License Agreement ("Agreement") by and between NVIDIA Corporation, a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 2701 San Tomas Expressway, Santa Clara, California 95050 U.S.A.

Please note that, for the purpose of prioritizing future driver features and optimizations, the driver may collect the following types of non-personal information:  CPU, GPU, and operating system. Such information will only be collected on an anonymous, aggregated basis and can at no time be linked to your personal identity, IP address, hostname, username or any other personally identifiable information.

Where Optimus is used and the information above is collected by NVIDIA, if you do not wish for the driver to collect any information, uncheck "Automatically Update Preferred Graphics Processor Settings" in the 3D Settings menu of the NVIDIA Control Panel.

For the purposes of this Agreement, Original Equipment Manufacturers, Independent Hardware Vendors, Independent Software Vendors, and End-Users are collectively and individually defined herein as "You" and/or "Your."  

SECTION 1 - GRANT OF LICENSE.
NVIDIA agrees to provide the Software (in object code and internal use only) and any associated materials pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  This Software is licensed for use only in conjunction with NVIDIA hardware and/or software products.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, NVIDIA grants to You a nonexclusive, nontransferable, worldwide, revocable, limited, royalty-free, fully paid-up license under NVIDIA's copyrights to install, deploy, use, execute, reproduce, display, perform, or run the Software solely for Your own internal development, testing and maintenance purposes to develop Your products to use NVIDIA hardware and software. 

If You are not the final manufacturer or vendor of a computer system or software program incorporating the Software, or if Your Contractors (as defined below), affiliates or subsidiaries need to exercise any, some or all of the license grant described above herein to the Software on Your behalf, then You may transfer a copy of the Software, (and related end-user documentation) to such recipient for use in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided such recipient agrees to be fully bound by the terms hereof. Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, You shall not otherwise assign, sublicense, lease, or in any other way transfer or disclose Software to any third party. You shall not reverse- compile, disassemble, reverse-engineer, or in any manner attempt to derive the source code of the Software. 

Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, no license or right is granted to You directly or by implication, inducement, estoppel or otherwise. NVIDIA shall have the right to inspect or have an independent auditor inspect Your relevant records to verify Your compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 


SECTION 2 - CONFIDENTIALITY.
Any exchange of Confidential Information (as defined in the NDA) shall be made pursuant to the terms and conditions of a separately signed Non-Disclosure Agreement ("NDA") by and between NVIDIA and You. For the sake of clarity, You agree that the Software is Confidential Information of NVIDIA.

If You wish to have a third party consultant or subcontractor ("Contractor") perform work on Your behalf which involves access to or use of Software, You shall obtain a written confidentiality agreement from the Contractor which contains terms and obligations with respect to access to or use of Software no less restrictive than those set forth in this Agreement and excluding any distribution or sublicense rights, and use for any other purpose than permitted in this Agreement. Otherwise, You shall not disclose the terms or existence of this Agreement or use NVIDIA's name in any publications, advertisements, or other announcements without NVIDIA's prior written consent. You do not have any rights to use any NVIDIA trademarks or logos.

SECTION 3 - OWNERSHIP OF SOFTWARE AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

SOME JURISDICTIONS PROHIBIT EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
