TI TivaWare for C Series Source and Object Code Software License Agreement
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING LICENSE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. THIS IS A
LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT. AFTER YOU READ THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT, YOU WILL BE
ASKED WHETHER YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT. DO
NOT CLICK "I HAVE READ AND AGREE" UNLESS: (1) YOU ARE AUTHORIZED TO ACCEPT AND
AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR YOUR
COMPANY (AS APPLICABLE); AND (2) YOU INTEND TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS
LICENSE AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR YOUR COMPANY (AS APPLICABLE).
Important - Read carefully: This Source and Object Code Software License
Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you (either an individual
or legal entity) and Texas Instruments Incorporated ("TI"). The "Licensed
Materials" subject to this Agreement include the software programs (in whole or
in part) that accompany this Agreement [and set forth in the applicable
software manifest] and which you access "on-line" and/or electronic
documentation (in whole or in part) associated and provided with these software
programs, as well as any updates or upgrades to such software programs and
documentation, if any, provided to you at TI's sole discretion. The Licensed
Materials are specifically designed and licensed for use solely and exclusively
with semiconductor devices manufactured by or for TI ("TI Devices"). By
installing, copying or otherwise using the Licensed Materials you agree to
abide by the provisions set forth herein. This Agreement is displayed for you
to read prior to using the Licensed Materials. If you choose not to accept or
agree with these provisions, do not download or install the Licensed Materials.
Note Regarding Possible Access to Open Source Software: The Licensed Materials
may be bundled with Open Source Software. "Open Source Software" means any
software licensed under terms requiring that (A) other software ("Proprietary
Software") incorporated, combined or distributed with such software or
developed using such software: (i) be disclosed or distributed in source code
form; or (ii) otherwise be licensed on terms inconsistent with the terms of
this Agreement, including but not limited to permitting use of the Proprietary
Software on or with devices other than TI Devices, or (B) require the owner of
Proprietary Software to license any of its patents to users of the Open Source
Software and/or Proprietary Software incorporated, combined or distributed with
such Open Source Software or developed using such Open Source Software.
By accepting this Agreement, you may gain access to Open Source Software, in
which case such Open Source Software will be listed in the applicable software
manifest (in whole or in part, the "Open Source Materials"). Your use of the
Open Source Materials is subject to the separate licensing terms applicable to
such Open Source Materials as specified in the applicable software manifest.
For clarification, this Agreement does not limit your rights under, or grant
you rights that supersede, the license terms of any applicable Open Source
Materials license agreement. If any of the Open Source Materials have been
provided to you in object code only, TI will provide to you, or show you where
you can access, the source code versions of such Open Source Materials if you
contact TI at Texas Instruments Incorporated, 12500 TI Boulevard, Mail Station
8638, Dallas, Texas 75243, Attention: Contracts Manager, Embedded Processing.
In the event you choose not to accept or agree with the terms in any applicable
Open Source Materials license agreement, you must terminate this Agreement.
