122
123      h.  Neither this Agreement, nor delivery of the Software alone or in
124          combination with any Licensor ASIC grants you any right to
125          practice, or any other right at all with respect to, any patent of
126          Licensor or its Affiliates, and
127
128      i.  A separating license agreement from Motorola Incorporated is needed
129          to use or practice any patent of Licensor or its Affiliates.
130
131      j.  You agree not to contend in any context that, as a result of the
132          provision or use of this software, either Licensor or Affiliate has
133          any obligation to extend, or Licensor or any other party has
134          obtained any right to, any license, whether express or implied,
135          with respect to any patent of Licensor or its Affiliates for any

140          election of directors (or other managing authority), or (ii) any
141          corporation or any other legal entity fifty percent (50%) or more
142          of whose shares, equity interest, or other securities entitled to
143          vote for election of directors (or other managing authority) is
144          owned or controlled by an entity, either directly or indirectly.
145
146   4.  Indemnity
147
148      a.  You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Licensor, Google, and
149          their officers, directors, customers, employees and successors and
150          assigns (each an "Indemnified Party") against any and all claims,
151          demands, causes of action, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and
152          expenses, incurred by the Indemnified Party (including but not
153          limited to costs of defense, investigation and reasonable
154          attorney's fees) arising out of, resulting from or related to
155          (i) any software, products, documentation, content, materials or
156          derivative works created or developed by You using the Software
157          which causes an infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark,
158          trade secret, or other property, publicity or privacy rights of any
159          third parties arising in any jurisdiction anywhere in the world,
160          (ii) the download, distribution, installation, storage, execution,
161          use or transfer of such software, products, documentation, content,
162          materials or derivative works by any person or entity, and/or
163          (iii) any breach of this Agreement by You. If requested by an
164          Indemnified Party, You agree to defend such Indemnified Party in
165          connection with any third party claims, demands, or causes of
166          action resulting from, arising out of or in connection with any of
167          the foregoing.
168
169   5.  Limitation of Liability
170
171      a.  TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS, UNDER NO
172          CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION NEGLIGENCE, SHALL
173          LICENSOR, GOOGLE, THEIR AFFILIATES AND/OR ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS,
174          EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
175          SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUT NOT
176          LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS
177          INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION AND THE LIKE) ARISING
178          OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR ANY DOWNLOAD,
179          INSTALLATION OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF
180          LICENSOR OR GOOGLE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
181          DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR
182          EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SO
183          THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY OR MAY BE LIMITED.
184          IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR'S OR GOOGLE'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY
185          TO YOU FOR ANY AND ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF
186          ACTIONS (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE,
187          INDEMNIFICATION OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS
188          (US$100). THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE
189          DEEMED TO APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
190          THE PARTIES HAVE FULLY CONSIDERED THE FOREGOING ALLOCATION OF RISK
191          AND FIND IT REASONABLE, AND THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS IN THIS
192          PARAGRAPH ARE AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE
193          PARTIES.
194
195   6.  No Warranty
196
197      a.  LICENSOR AND GOOGLE MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH
198          RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED UNDER THIS

201          INFRINGEMENT, OR ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF
202          TRADE USAGE OR OUT OF A COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE.
203          NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS A
204          WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION BY LICENSOR (I) AS TO THE VALIDITY OR
205          SCOPE OF ANY PATENT, COPYRIGHT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT
206          AND (II) THAT ANY MANUFACTURE OR USE WILL BE FREE FROM INFRINGEMENT
207          OF PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF
208          OTHERS, AND IT SHALL BE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF YOU TO MAKE SUCH
209          DETERMINATION AS IS NECESSARY WITH RESPECT TO THE ACQUISITION OF
210          LICENSES UNDER PATENTS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF THIRD
211          PARTIES. LICENSOR AND GOOGLE SHALL NOT HAVE ANY OBLIGATION TO
212          PROVIDE ANY TECHNICAL SUPPORT OF THE SOFTWARE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
213
214   7.  Term and Termination
215
216      a.  This Agreement shall be effective on the date You accept this
217          Agreement and shall remain in effect until terminated as provided
218          herein. You may terminate the Agreement at any time by deleting and
219          destroying all copies of the Software and all related information
220          in Your possession or control. This Agreement terminates
221          immediately and automatically, with or without notice, if You fail
222          to comply with any provision hereof. Additionally, Licensor may at
223          any time terminate this Agreement, without cause, upon notice to
224          You. Upon termination You must delete or destroy all copies of the
225          Software in Your possession, and the license granted to You in this

227          the termination of this Agreement.
228
229   8.  Miscellaneous
230
231      a.  Governing Law. This Agreement is governed and interpreted in
232          accordance with the laws of the State of California without giving
233          effect to its conflict of laws provisions. The United Nations
234          Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is
235          expressly disclaimed and shall not apply. Any claim arising out of
236          or related to this Agreement must be brought exclusively in a
237          federal or state court located in Santa Clara County, California
238          and You consent to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
239
240      b.  Waiver and Severability. The failure of either party to require
241          performance by the other party of any provision of this Agreement
242          shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any
243          time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by either party of a breach
244          of any provision of this Agreement be taken or held to be a waiver
245          of the provision itself. Severability. If any provision of this
246          Agreement is unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or
247          is so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or
248          invalidity shall not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid
249          as a whole, and such provision shall be changed and interpreted so
250          as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or
251          invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or
252          applicable court decisions.
253
254      c.  Amendment and Modification. This Agreement and any of its terms and
255          provisions may only be amended, modified, supplemented or waived in
256          a writing signed by both parties hereto.

263          the agreement between You and Licensor regarding this subject
264          matter.
