1. License Grant.
This is a license, not a sales agreement, between you and Fortinet. The
term "Software", as used throughout this Agreement, includes all Fortinet
and third party firmware and software provided to you with, or incorpo-
rated into, Fortinet appliances and any stand-alone software provided to
you by Fortinet, with the exception of any open source software contained
in Fortinet's Products which is discussed in detail in section 15 below,
and the term "Software" includes any accompanying documentation,
any updates and enhancements of the software or firmware provided to
you by Fortinet, at its option. Fortinet grants to you a non-transferable
(except as provided in section 5 ("Transfer") and section 15 ("Open Source
Software") below), non-exclusive, revocable (in the event of your failure to
comply with these terms or in the event Fortinet is not properly paid for
the applicable Product) license to use the Software solely for your internal
business purposes (provided, if a substantial portion of your business is
to provide managed service provider services to your end-customers, you
may use the Software embedded in FortiGate and supporting hardware
appliances to provide those services, subject to the other restrictions in
this Agreement), in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement
and subject to any further restrictions in Fortinet documentation, and sole-
ly on the Fortinet appliance, or, in the case of blades, CPUs or databases,
on the single blade, CPU or database on which Fortinet installed the
Software or, for stand-alone Software, solely on a single computer running
a validly licensed copy of the operating system for which the Software was
designed, or, in the case of blades, CPUs or databases, on a single blade,
CPU or database. For clarity, notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
all licenses of Software to be installed on blades, CPUs or databases are
licensed on a per single blade, solely for one blade and not for multiple
blades that may be installed in a chassis, per single CPU or per single
database basis, as applicable. The Software is "in use" on any Fortinet
appliances when it is loaded into temporary memory (i.e. RAM). You agree
that, except for the limited, specific license rights granted in this section 1,
you receive no license rights to the Software.
2. Limitation on Use.
You may not attempt to, and, if you are a corporation, you are responsible
to prevent your employees and contractors from attempting to, (a) modify,
translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, create derivative
works based on, sublicense, or distribute the Software; (b) rent or lease
any rights in the Software in any form to any third party or make the
Software available or accessible to third parties in any other manner; (c)
except as provided in section 5, transfer assign or sublicense right to
any other person or entity, or (d) remove any proprietary notice, labels, or
marks on the Software, Products, and containers.
3. Proprietary Rights.
All rights, title, interest, and all copyrights to the Software and any copy
made thereof by you and to any Product remain with Fortinet. You ac-
knowledge that no title to the intellectual property in the Software or other
Products is transferred to you and you will not acquire any rights to the
Software or other Products except for the specific license as expressly set
forth in section 1 ("License Grant") above.
4. Term and Termination.
Except for evaluation and beta licenses or other licenses where the term
of the license is limited per the evaluation/beta or other agreement or in
the ordering documents, the term of the license is for the duration of For-
tinet's copyright in the Software. Fortinet may terminate this Agreement,
and the licenses and other rights herein, immediately without notice if
you breach or fail to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. You agree that, upon such termination, you will cease using
the Software and any Product and either destroy all copies of the Fortinet
documentation or return all materials to Fortinet. The provisions of this
Agreement, other than the license granted in section 1 ("License Grant"),
shall survive termination.
5. Transfer.
If you are a Fortinet contracted and authorized reseller or distributor of
Products, you may transfer (not rent or lease unless specifically agreed to
in writing by Fortinet) the Software to one end user on a permanent basis,
provided that: (i) you ensure that your customer and the end user receives
a copy of this Agreement, is bound by its terms and conditions, and, by
selling the Product or Software, you hereby agree to enforce the terms
in this Agreement against such end user, (ii) you at all times comply with
all applicable United States export control laws and regulations, and (iii)
you agree to refund any fees paid to you by an end user who purchased
Product(s) from you but does not agree to the terms contained in this
Agreement and therefore wishes to return the Product(s) as provided for in
this Agreement. Further, if you are a non-authorized reseller of Products,
you are not authorized to sell Product(s) or Software, but, regardless, by
selling Product(s) or Software, you hereby agree you are bound by the
restrictions and obligations herein and are bound to: (i) ensure that your
customer and the end user receive a copy of this Agreement and are
bound in full by all restrictions and obligations herein (ii) enforce the restric-
tions and obligations in this Agreement against such customer and/or end
user, (iii) comply with all applicable United States export control laws and
regulations and all other applicable laws, and (iv) refund any fees paid to
you by a customer and/or end user who purchased Product(s) from you
but does not agree to the restrictions and obligations contained in this
Agreement and therefore wishes to return the Product(s) as provided for
in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, distributors,
resellers and other Fortinet partners (a) are not agents of Fortinet and (b)
are not authorized to bind Fortinet in any way.
