- License Agreement for Commercial Use of MySQL[tm] Software
-
- This Agreement ("License") is between MySQL AB, a Swedish company
- ("Licensor"), and the customer ("Licensee") identified on the electronic order
- form submitted on behalf of Licensee (the "Order Form"). In consideration of
- the mutual promises, covenants and conditions contained herein, the
- sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows.
-
- 1. License Grant.
- "Licensed Software" means a complete and unchanged copy of the object code
- version of the MySQL relational database management software identified in the
- Order Form and posted on a special download page of the MySQL AB web site (the
- "Download Page") made available to Licensee immediately after payment as
- provided in Section 4. Subject to payment and the other terms and conditions
- hereof, Licensor grants to Licensee a limited, non-exclusive and
- non-transferable right to: (a) make one copy of the Licensed Software for each
- license purchased (each, a "Licensed Copy"); (b) compile and/or link each
- Licensed Copy to one copy of the Licensee software identified in the Order
- Form (the "Licensee Application") without modifying the Licensed Software
- (each, an "Integrated Product"); and (c) load and use the Licensed Copy
- portion of an Integrated Product on one machine or instrument in the operating
- system environment(s), and on the hardware platform(s) specified in the Order
- Form, and solely for running and extracting data from, the Licensee
- Application. "Use" means operation by one person for internal business
- purposes in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Licensed Copies
- shall be deemed accepted by Licensee immediately upon download. Licensee may
- make one additional copy of each Licensed Copy for backup and archival
- purposes only.
-
- 2. Transfer.
- Only after Licensee has linked or compiled a Licensed Copy as permitted in
- Section 1, Licensee may transfer to a third party (the "Transferee") the right
- to use such copy as described in Section 1. As a condition to any such
- transfer: (a) Licensee must deliver the Licensed Copy and any backup copy to
- the Transferee along with a copy of this License (including the Sales Order);
- and (b) the Transferee must accept the terms and conditions of this License.
- Any and all of Licensee's rights to a Licensed Copy shall terminate upon
- transfer of the right to use such copy. A Transferee's rights are limited to
- the use rights described in Section 1(c), and do not include the linking,
- compilation or copying rights (except for backup and archival copies)
- described in Section 1. If you did not purchase this License directly from
- MySQL AB, then you are a Transferee. Licensee and any Transferee must comply
- with all applicable export laws and regulations.
-
- 3. Restrictions.
- Licensee may use the Licensed Software only as expressly provided in Section
- 1. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee shall not: (a) lease, license,
- use, make available, distribute or modify all or any part of the Licensed
- Software to any third party, except as otherwise expressly permitted herein;
- (b) use the Licensed Software to operate in or as a time-sharing, outsourcing,
- service bureau, application service provider or managed service provider
- environment; (c) lease, license, use, make available or distribute the
- Licensed Software as a general SQL server, as a stand alone application or
- with applications other than the Licensee Application under this License; (d)
- copy the Licensed Software onto any public or distributed network; (e)
- distribute Integrated Products pursuant to a public or open source license;
- (f) port the Licensed Software to any operating system other than as described
- in the Order Form; or (g) change any proprietary rights notices which appear
- in the Licensed Software. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2, the
- rights granted to Licensee herein are rights that may be exercised solely by
- Licensee.
-
- 4. Price and payment.
- No later than thirty (30) days after submission of the Order Form, Licensee
- shall remit one non-refundable license fee per Licensed Copy as posted on
- http://order.mysql.com on the date Licensee submitted the Order Form (the
- "License Fee"). All payments shall be made in Euros or U.S. dollars. Licensee
- shall be responsible for paying all local, state, federal and international
- sales, value added, excise and other taxes and duties payable in connection
- with this License, other than taxes based upon Licensor's net income. Licensee
- shall not be permitted to access the Download Page until Licensor has received
- payment in full.
-
- 5. Termination.
- Licensor may terminate this License immediately if the Licensee shall breach
- any of the provisions of this License and such breach remains uncured 30 days
- after receipt of notice. In the event that Licensee becomes liquidated,
- dissolved, bankrupt or insolvent, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, or
- shall take any action to be so declared, Licensor shall have the right to
- terminate this License immediately. Upon expiration, cancellation or other
- termination of this License, Licensee shall immediately: (a) discontinue
- distribution of Integrated Products that include Licensed Software; and (b)
- destroy all copies of the Licensed Software, including (without limitation) as
- linked or compiled in any Integrated Product. Sections 4 through 10 shall
- survive the termination of this License for any reason.
-
- 6. Proprietary Rights.
- Licensee agrees that the copyright, patent, trade secrets and all other
- intellectual proprietary rights of whatever nature in the Licensed Software
- and related documentation, including derivative works, are and shall remain
- the exclusive property of Licensor and any third party suppliers. Nothing in
- this License should be construed as transferring any aspects of such rights to
- Licensee or any third party. Licensor reserves any and all rights not
- expressly granted herein. MySQL is a trademark of MySQL AB, and shall not be
- used by Licensee without Licensor's express written authorization. Licensee
- shall include in the Integrated Products a conspicuous notice that the
- Integrated Products include software whose copyright is owned by MySQL AB.
-
- 7. Disclaimer of Warranties.
- THE LICENSED SOFTWARE IS LICENSED "AS IS," WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER.
- LICENSOR EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, AND LICENSEE EXPRESSLY WAIVES, ALL WARRANTIES,
- WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS
- FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, SYSTEM INTEGRATION,
- NON-INTERFERENCE AND ACCURACY OF INFORMATIONAL CONTENT. LICENSOR DOES NOT
- WARRANT THAT THE LICENSED SOFTWARE WILL MEET LICENSEE'S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT
- THE OPERATION OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR
- THAT ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED. THE ENTIRE RISK OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE'S
- QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE IS WITH LICENSEE. Without limiting the generality of
- the foregoing disclaimer, Licensee acknowledges that the Licensed Software is
- not specifically designed, manufactured or intended for use in the planning,
- construction, maintenance, control or direct operation of nuclear facilities,
- aircraft navigation, control or communication systems, weapons systems or
- direct life support systems.
-
- 8. Indemnification.
- Licensee hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend Licensor against any and all
- damages, judgments and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to
- any claim based upon: (a) an allegation that the Licensee Application
- infringes the intellectual property of a third party; (b) use of the Licensed
- Software in a manner prohibited under this License or in a manner for which
- the Licensed Software was not designed; (c) integration or use of the Licensed
- Software with the Licensee Application (where use of the Licensed Software
- alone would not infringe); (d) changes made by Licensee to the Licensed
- Software (where use of unmodified Licensed Software would not infringe); (e)
- changes made, or actions taken, by Licensor upon Licensee's direct
- instructions; or (f) bodily injury, property damage or any other damage or
- injury due to the use or inability to use an Integrated Product.
-
- 9. Limitation of Liability.
- LICENSOR SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS
- AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
- INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING (WITHOUT LIMITATION) ANY LOST
- PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS (WHETHER RESULTING FROM IMPAIRED OR LOST DATA,
- SOFTWARE OR COMPUTER FAILURE OR ANY OTHER CAUSE), EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN ADVISED
- OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN
- THIS AGREEMENT, THE LIABILITY OF LICENSOR FOR ANY REASON AND UPON ANY CAUSE OF
- ACTION SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID TO LICENSOR BY LICENSEE UNDER THIS
- AGREEMENT. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES TO ALL CAUSES OF ACTION IN THE AGGREGATE,
- INCLUDING (WITHOUT LIMITATION) BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY,
- NEGLIGENCE, MISREPRESENTATIONS AND OTHER TORTS. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE
- REMEDIES AND LIMITATIONS HEREIN ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS

- ALLOCATION OF RISK AND THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES AS SET FORTH IN THIS
- AGREEMENT.
-
- 10. Miscellaneous.
-
- 10.1 Interpretation.
- Failure by Licensor to exercise any right or remedy does not signify
- acceptance of the event giving rise to such right or remedy. No action arising
- out of this License may be brought by Licensee more than one year after the
- cause of action has accrued. If any part of this License is held by a court of
- competent jurisdiction to be illegal or unenforceable, the validity or
- enforceability of the remainder of this License shall not be affected and such
- provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make
- such provision consistent with applicable law and, in its modified form, such
- provision shall be enforceable and enforced. Licensor reserves the right not
- to accept any Order Form. Any invoice issued by Licensor in connection with
- this License shall be deemed a part of this Agreement. To the extent of any
- inconsistency between an Order Form and an invoice issued by Licensor, the
- terms and conditions of the invoice shall prevail; Licensee shall be deemed to
- have accepted an invoice upon payment of such invoice. In the event that
- Licensee placed an order by telephone or through an authorized sales
- representative, the invoice issued by Licensor shall constitute the Order
- Form. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall replace and serve as a
- novation of the terms and conditions of any commercial (i.e., non-GPL) license
- purchased online by Licensee prior to August 2002.
-
- 10.2 Binding.
- This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties,
- their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as otherwise
- provided in Section 2, without the prior written consent of Licensor, Licensee
- may not assign this License or its rights or obligations under this License to
- any person or party, whether by operation of law or otherwise; any attempt by
- Licensee to assign this License without Licensor's prior written consent shall
- be null and void. There are no intended third party beneficiaries of this
- License. The parties are, and shall remain, independent contractors; nothing
- in this License is designed to create, nor shall create between them, a
- partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship.
-
- 10.3 Governing Law; Dispute Forum.
- If Licensee's residence, principal place of business or place of organization
- is in the United States of America ("USA"), then this License shall be deemed
- to have been executed in the USA and shall be governed by the laws of the
- State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.
- If Licensee's residence, principal place of business or place of organization
- is in any country other than the USA, then this License shall be deemed to
- have been executed in Sweden and shall be governed by the laws of Sweden,
- without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. In no event shall
- the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods
- apply to, or govern, this License. The parties consent to the exclusive
- jurisdiction of the courts of Sweden and the USA, as provided in this Section.
- In the event that Licensor initiates an action in connection with this License
- or any other dispute between the parties, the exclusive jurisdiction of such
- action shall be in: (a) Newark, Delaware, if Licensee's residence, principal
- place of business or place of organization is in the USA; or (b) Uppsala,
- Sweden, if Licensee's residence, principal place of business or place of
- organization is in any country other than the USA. In the event that Licensee
- initiates an action in connection with this License or any other dispute
- between the parties, the exclusive jurisdiction of such action shall be in
- Stockholm, Sweden. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring a
- counterclaim in an action in the same jurisdiction in which the originating
- claim was filed, and either party may enforce any judgment rendered by such
- court in any court of competent jurisdiction. Licensee shall comply at its own
- expense with all relevant and applicable laws related to use and distribution
- of the Licensed Software as permitted in this License. Notwithstanding the
- foregoing, Licensor may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any
- jurisdiction in order to protect its intellectual property rights. The parties
- have agreed to execute this License in the English language, and the English
- language version of the Agreement will control for all purposes. Any action
- brought under this License shall be conducted in the English language.
- Licensee shall be responsible for Licensor's attorneys fees and other expenses
- associated with the enforcement of this License or the collection of any
- amounts due under this License.
-
- 10.4 Notice.
- Unless otherwise agreed, any notice under this License shall be delivered and
- addressed to Licensee at the address set forth on the Order Form, and to

- agreement, and supercedes and merges all prior proposals, understandings and
- agreements, oral and written, between the parties relating to the subject
- matter of this License. This Agreement may be amended or modified only in a
- writing executed by both parties. To the extent of any conflict or
- inconsistency between this License and any invoice or other document submitted
- by Licensee to Licensor, this License will control. Licensor's acceptance of
- any document shall not be construed as an acceptance of provisions which are
- in any way in conflict or inconsistent with, or in addition to, this License,
- unless such terms are separately and specifically accepted in writing by an
- authorized officer of Licensor.
