     52 
     53    3.  Restrictions

     55       a.  Retention of Rights. The entire right, title and interest in the

     58           Except for the right to use the Software for the Limited Purpose,

     83           making and distributing Android Applications under commercial or
     84           non-commercial terms, provided that You shall not contain,
     85           incorporate, and/or compile the Software or any of its derivative
     86           works, in whole or in part, into Your Android Applications and/or
     87           any software/devices created by You or by third parties acting on
     88           Your behalf. You and any such third party shall comply with all of
     89           the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
     90 
     91       c.  No Reverse Engineering. Except for any portions of the Software
     92           provided to You in source code format and except for any third
     93           party code distributed with the Software that is licensed under
     94           contrary terms, You will not reverse engineer, disassemble,
     95           decompile, or translate the Software, or otherwise attempt to

    104       e.  No Transfer or Assignment. You shall not assign any of its rights
    105           or obligations under this Agreement. Any attempted assignment in

    112           property rights, including moral rights.

    114       g.  Neither this Agreement, nor any act by Licensor or its Affiliates
    115           persuant to this Agreement or relating to the Software (including,
    116           without limitation, the provision by Licensor or its Affiliates of
    117           the Software) shall provide to You any license or any other rights
    118           whatsoever under any patents, trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights
    119           or any other intellectual property rights of Licensor or its
    120           Affiliates, except for the copyrights expressly set forth in this
    121           Agreement. You understand and agree that:
    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
    136           purpose. For the purposes of this agreement, "Affiliate" means
    137           (i) any corporation or any other legal entity that owns, directly
    138           or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares, equity
    139           interest or other securities of any entity entitled to vote for
    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

    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
    199           AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF
    200           MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR AGAINST
    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
    226           Agreement shall terminate. Sections 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 shall survive
    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.
    257 
    258       d.  Compliance with Laws. You shall comply with all applicable laws,
    259           rules, and regulations in connection with its activities under this
    260           Agreement.
    261 
    262       e.  Entire Agreement. This Agreement completely and exclusively states
    263           the agreement between You and Licensor regarding this subject
    264           matter.
    265
