COM OF REQUESTED CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT.
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 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 solely on the Fortinet appliance, or, in the case of blades, CPUs or da-
tabases, 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 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 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 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 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. 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 restrictions 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 distrib-
utor 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 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, reconfiguration, 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 authorized 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 replacement 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.
7. Disclaimer of Other Warranties and Restrictions.
EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY SPECIFIED IN SECTION 6 ABOVE, THE PRODUCT AND SOFTWARE ARE PROVIDED "AS-IS" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY, IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR WARRANTY FOR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-IN-

DATE OF SHIPMENT FROM FORTINET'S FACILITIES, AND THE SOFTWARE WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO CERTAIN FORTINET PRODUCTS, INCLUDING FORTIGATE-ONE AND VDOM
SOFTWARE. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT NO VENDOR CAN ASSURE COMPLETE SECURITY AND NOTHING HEREIN OR ELSEWHERE SHALL BE DEEMED TO IMPLY A
SECURITY GUARANTEE OR ASSURANCE.

provided "as-is" without any warranty whatsoever, and Fortinet disclaims any warranty or liability whatsoever. An end user's use of evaluation or beta Software or Product is limited to
thirty (30) days from original shipment unless otherwise agreed in writing by Fortinet.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.
The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say,
a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output
from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on
what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each
copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients
of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
exchange for a fee.
