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 incorporated 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 enhance-
ments 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 solely 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 unless and except set forth in the published documentation otherwise, 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, (d) remove any proprietary notice, labels, or marks on the Software, Products, and containers, or (e) use the Software for third-party training, commercial time-sharing or
service bureau use or use the Software to provide services to third parties except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
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 acknowledge 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. You expressly agree and acknowledge that Fortinet owns and shall retain all intellectual property rights in and to, and
you have no intellectual property rights in and to, the Products and the Software other than the License Grant. You agree to keep confidential all Fortinet confidential information
and only to use such information for the purposes for which Fortinet disclosed it.
4. Term and Termination.
Except for evaluation and beta licenses or other licenses, such as subscription licenses, where the term of the license is limited per the evaluation/beta or other agreement, in
the ordering documents or otherwise, the term of the license is for the duration of Fortinet'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 or for other reasons as stated in Forti-
net's other documentation. 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.
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 re-
strictions 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.
6. Limited Warranty.
Fortinet provides this limited warranty for its product only to the single end-user person or entity that originally purchased the Product from Fortinet or its authorized reseller or
distributor and paid for such Product. The warranty is only valid for Products which are properly registered on Fortinet's Support Website, https://support.fortinet.com, or such
other website as provided by Fortinet, or for which the warranty otherwise starts according to Fortinet's policies. The warranty periods discussed below will start according to
Fortinet's policies posted at http://www.fortinet.com/aboutus/legal.html or such other website as provided by Fortinet. It is the Fortinet distributor's and reseller's responsibility
to make clear to the end user the date the product was originally shipped from Fortinet, and it is the end user's responsibility to understand the original ship date from the
party from which the end user purchased the product. All warranty claims must be submitted in writing to Fortinet before the expiration of the warranty term or such claims
are waived in full. Fortinet provides no warranty for any beta, donation or evaluation Products, for any spare parts not purchased directly from Fortinet by the end-user, for any
accessories, or for any stand-alone software. Fortinet warrants that the hardware portion of the Products, including spare parts unless noted otherwise ("Hardware") will be free
from material defects in workmanship as compared to the functional specifications for the period set forth as follows and applicable to the Product type ("Hardware Warranty
Period"): a three hundred sixty-five (365) day limited warranty for the Hardware excluding spare parts, power supplies, and accessories (provided, solely with respect to FortiAP
and Meru AP indoor Wi-Fi access point Hardware appliance products and FortiSwitch Hardware appliance products other than the FortiSwitch-5000 series (for both excluding
Page 16
spare parts, power supplies, and accessories), the warranty herein shall last from the start of the warranty period as discussed above until five (5) years following the product
announced end-of-life date), and, for spare parts, power supplies, and accessories, solely a ninety (90) days limited warranty. Fortinet's sole obligation shall be to repair or offer
replacement Hardware for the defective Hardware at no charge to the original owner. This obligation is exclusive of transport fees, labor, de-installation, installation, reconfigura-
tion, or return shipment and handling fees and costs, and Fortinet shall have no obligation related thereto. Such repair or replacement will be rendered by Fortinet at an autho-
rized Fortinet service facility as determined by Fortinet. The replacement Hardware need not be new or of an identical make, model, or part; Fortinet may, in its discretion, replace
the defective Hardware (or any part thereof) with any reconditioned Product that Fortinet reasonably determines is substantially equivalent (or superior) in all material respects
to the defective Hardware. The Hardware Warranty Period for the repaired or replacement Hardware shall be for the greater of the remaining Hardware Warranty Period or ninety
days from the delivery of the repaired or replacement Hardware. If Fortinet determines in its reasonable discretion that a material defect is incapable of correction or that it is
not practical to repair or replace defective Hardware, the price paid by the original purchaser for the defective Hardware will be refunded by Fortinet upon return to Fortinet of the
defective Hardware. All Hardware (or part thereof) that is replaced by Fortinet, or for which the purchase price is refunded, shall become the property of Fortinet upon replace-
ment or refund. Fortinet warrants that the software as initially shipped with the Hardware Products will substantially conform to Fortinet's then current functional specifications
for the Software, as set forth in the applicable documentation for a period of ninety (90) days ("Software Warranty Period"), if the Software is properly installed on approved
Hardware and operated as contemplated in its documentation. Fortinet's sole obligation shall be to repair or offer replacement Software for the non-conforming Software with
software that substantially conforms to Fortinet's functional specifications. This obligation is exclusive of transport fees, labor, de-installation, installation, reconfiguration, or
return shipment and handling fees and costs, and Fortinet shall have no obligation related thereto. Except as otherwise agreed by Fortinet in writing, the warranty replacement
Software is provided only to the original licensee, and is subject to the terms and conditions of the license granted by Fortinet for the Software. The Software Warranty Period
shall extend for an additional ninety (90) days after any warranty replacement software is delivered. If Fortinet determines in its reasonable discretion that a material non-
conformance is incapable of correction or that it is not practical to repair or replace the non-conforming Software, the price paid by the original licensee for the non-conforming
Software will be refunded by Fortinet; provided that the non-conforming Software (and all copies thereof) is first returned to Fortinet. The license granted respecting any Software
for which a refund is given automatically terminates immediately upon refund. For purpose of the above hardware and software warranties, the term "functional specifications"
means solely those specifications authorized and published by Fortinet that expressly state in such specifications that they are the functional specifications referred to in this
section 6 of this Agreement, and, in the event no such specifications are provided to you with the Software or Hardware, there shall be no warranty on such Software.
