- MICROSOFT DEVELOPMENT LICENSE AGREEMENT
- for
- Microsoft Prototype Code
-
- This Agreement is made by and between Microsoft Corporation
- (Microsoft"), a Delaware corporation, located at One Microsoft
- Way, Redmond, Washington 98052-6399 and the company identified
- below ("Company"), effective as of the later of the two dates
- below.
-
-
- 1. GRANT OF LICENSE TO USE. Microsoft grants to Company the
- non-exclusive, non-assignable right to make an indeterminate
- number of copies of the enclosed Microsoft prototype software in
- object code form (the "MS Code") and to use such copies on
- Company's computers for the sole purposes of designing,
- developing, and testing a software product, including but not
- limited to applications and device driver(s) for the Microsoft
- Windows graphical environment or any other environment in which
- the prototype code is designed to operate. The MS Code shall not
- be copied or used for any other purposes, and Company agrees to
- destroy or erase all but a maximum of five (5) archival copies
- of the MS Code upon Microsoft's release of the MS Code in final
- form.
-
- 2. PRE-RELEASE CODE. The MS Code is prototype code and is
- not at the level of performance and compatibility of the final,
- generally available product offering. The MS Code may not
- operate correctly and may be substantially modified prior to
- first customer shipment.
-
- 3. OTHER RESTRICTIONS. Company may not rent or lease the MS
- Code, or otherwise transfer the MS Code and accompanying written
- materials. Company may not disclose, distribute or disseminate
- the MS Code in any media except to Company's permanent employees
- and on-site consultants who have a need to know. Company
- expressly undertakes to retain in confidence and to require
- Company's employees and consultants to retain in confidence all
- information and know-how transmitted to Company by Microsoft,
- that Microsoft has identified as proprietary or confidential or
- that, by the nature of the circumstances surrounding the
- disclosure, ought in good faith to be treated as proprietary or
- confidential, and will make no use of such information and know-
- how except under the terms of this agreement. Company is
- required to execute appropriate written agreements with
- Company's employees and consultants sufficient to enable Company
- to comply with all provisions of this agreement. The above non-
- disclosure provisions shall terminate when the confidential
- information becomes publicly available through no fault of
- Company.
-
- 4. NO WARRANTIES. Because the MS Code constitutes prototype
- code and may be changed substantially before first customer
- shipment, the MS Code and accompanying written materials are
- provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. Microsoft
- disclaims all warranties, either express or implied, including
- but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and
- fitness for a particular purpose. The entire risk arising out
- of the use or performance of the MS Code and any accompanying
- written materials remains with Company.
-
- 5. NO LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. In no event
- shall Microsoft or its suppliers be liable for any damages
- whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages for loss of
- business profits, business interruption, loss of business
- information, or other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use of
- or inability to use this Microsoft product, even if Microsoft
- has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Because
- some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
- liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above
- limitation may not apply to Company.
-
- 6. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of
- Washington. If either party employs attorneys to enforce any
- rights arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the
- prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable
- attorneys fees, costs and expenses.
-
- IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be
- executed as of the dates indicated below.
