|
5. CONFIDENTIALITY
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
5.1. Obligations. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that any documentation
|
|||
|
relating to the Software, and any other information (if such other information
|
|||
|
is identified as confidential or should be recognized as confidential under the
|
|||
|
circumstances) provided to Licensee by Broadcom hereunder (collectively,
|
|||
|
“Confidential Information”) constitute the confidential and proprietary
|
|||
|
information of Broadcom, and that Licensee’s protection thereof is an essential
|
|||
|
condition to Licensee’s use and possession of the Software. Licensee shall
|
|||
|
retain all Confidential Information in strict confidence and not disclose it to
|
|||
|
any third party or use it in any way except under a written agreement with
|
|||
|
terms and conditions at least as protective as the terms of this Section.
|
|||
|
Licensee will exercise at least the same amount of diligence in preserving the
|
|||
|
secrecy of the Confidential Information as it uses in preserving the secrecy of
|
|||
|
its own most valuable confidential information, but in no event less than
|
|||
|
reasonable diligence. Information shall not be considered Confidential
|
|||
|
Information if and to the extent that it: (i) was in the public domain at the
|
|||
|
time it was disclosed or has entered the public domain through no fault of
|
|||
|
Licensee; (ii) was known to Licensee, without restriction, at the time of
|
|||
|
disclosure as proven by the files of Licensee in existence at the time of
|
|||
|
disclosure; or (iii) becomes known to Licensee, without restriction, from a
|
|||
|
source other than Broadcom without breach of this Agreement by Licensee and
|
|||
|
otherwise not in violation of Broadcom’s rights.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
5.2. Return of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all
|
|||
|
documents and other tangible objects containing or representing Broadcom
|
|||
|
Confidential Information and all copies thereof which are in the possession of
|
|||
|
Licensee shall be and remain the property of Broadcom, and shall be promptly
|
|||
|
returned to Broadcom upon written request by Broadcom or upon termination of
|
|||
|
this Agreement.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO
|
|||
|
EVENT SHALL BROADCOM OR ANY OF BROADCOM’S LICENSORS HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY
|
|||
|
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON
|
|||
|
ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING
|
|||
|
NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT
|
|||
|
LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
|
|||
|
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL BROADCOM’S LIABILITY WHETHER IN
|
|||
|
CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY
|
|||
|
LICENSEE FOR SOFTWARE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY
|
|||
|
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
7. MISCELLANEOUS
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
7.1. Export Regulations. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE SOFTWARE IS
|
|||
|
SUBJECT TO UNITED STATES AND OTHER APPLICABLE EXPORT-RELATED LAWS AND
|
|||
|
REGULATIONS AND THAT YOU MAY NOT EXPORT, RE-EXPORT OR TRANSFER THE SOFTWARE OR
|
|||
|
ANY DIRECT PRODUCT OF THE SOFTWARE EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THOSE LAWS.
|
|||
|
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EXPORT, RE-EXPORT OR TRANSFER OF THE SOFTWARE
|
|||
|
TO CUBA, IRAN, NORTH KOREA, SUDAN AND SYRIA IS PROHIBITED.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
7.2 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
|
|||
|
benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, provided,
|
|||
|
however that Licensee may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligation
|
|||
|
hereunder, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, without
|
|||
|
the prior written consent of Broadcom, and any such attempted assignment shall
|
|||
|
be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may assign this Agreement to
|
|||
|
a successor to all or substantially all of its business or assets to which this
|
|||
|
Agreement relates that is not a competitor of Broadcom.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
7.3. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
|
|||
|
California without regard to any conflict-of-laws rules, and the United Nations
|
|||
|
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is hereby excluded.
|
|||
|
The sole jurisdiction and venue for actions related to the subject matter
|
|||
|
hereof shall be the state and federal courts located in the County of Orange,
|
|||
|
California, and both parties hereby consent to such jurisdiction and venue.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
7.4. Severability. All terms and provisions of this Agreement shall, if
|
|||
|
possible, be construed in a manner which makes them valid, but in the event any
|
|||
|
term or provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent
|
|||
|
jurisdiction to be illegal or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of
|
|||
|
the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected if the illegal or
|
|||
|
unenforceable provision does not materially affect the intent of this
|
|||
|
Agreement. If the illegal or unenforceable provision materially affects the
|
|||
|
intent of the parties to this Agreement, this Agreement shall become
|
|||
|
terminated.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
7.5. Equitable Relief. Licensee hereby acknowledges that its breach of this
|
|||
|
Agreement would cause irreparable harm and significant injury to Broadcom that
|
|||
|
may be difficult to ascertain and that a remedy at law would be inadequate.
|
|||
|
Accordingly, Licensee agrees that Broadcom shall have the right to seek and
|
|||
|
obtain immediate injunctive relief to enforce obligations under the Agreement
|
|||
|
in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
7.6. Waiver. The waiver of, or failure to enforce, any breach or default
|
|||
|
hereunder shall not constitute the waiver of any other or subsequent breach or
|
|||
|
default.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
7.7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire Agreement
|
|||
|
between the parties and supersedes any and all prior proposals, agreements and
|
|||
|
representations between them, whether written or oral concerning the Software.
|
|||
|
This Agreement may be changed only by mutual agreement of the parties in
|
|||
|
writing.
