The +SOFTWARE is protected by copyright laws and international copyright +treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. +The SOFTWARE is not sold, and instead is only licensed for use, strictly +in accordance with this document. The hardware is protected by various +patents, and is sold, but this LICENSE does not cover that sale, since +it may not necessarily be sold as a package with the SOFTWARE. This +LICENSE sets forth the terms and conditions of the SOFTWARE LICENSE only. + +1. DEFINITIONS + +1.1 Customer. Customer means the entity or individual that downloads +the SOFTWARE. + +2.

If Customer commences or participates in any legal +proceeding against NVIDIA, then NVIDIA may, in its sole discretion, +suspend or terminate all license grants and any other rights provided +under this LICENSE during the pendency of such legal proceedings. + +4. COPYRIGHT + +All title and copyrights in and to the SOFTWARE (including but not +limited to all images, photographs, animations, video, audio, music, +text, and other information incorporated into the SOFTWARE), the +accompanying printed materials, and any copies of the SOFTWARE, are +owned by NVIDIA, or its suppliers.

MISCELLANEOUS + +If any provision of this LICENSE is inconsistent with, or cannot be +fully enforced under, the law, such provision will be construed as +limited to the extent necessary to be consistent with and fully +enforceable under the law. This LICENSE is the final, complete and +exclusive agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter +hereof, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings and +agreements relating to such subject matter, whether oral or written. +This LICENSE may only be modified in writing signed by an authorized +officer of NVIDIA.
