NETDRONE ENGINE END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

Please read this Agreement carefully. It is a legal document that explains your rights and obligations related to your use of the NetDrone Engine and related content. By downloading or using this software or any related content, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you do not or cannot agree to the terms of this Agreement, please do not download or use this software or any related content.

Certain words or phrases are defined to have certain meanings when used in this Agreement. Those words and phrases are defined below in Section 21.

If you are separately licensed by Origin Studio ('Origin') under a Custom License, certain terms of this Agreement do not apply to your Custom Products. Those terms are described below in Section 22.

1. License Grant

Origin grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable (except as described in this Agreement) license for a single User to use, reproduce, display, perform, and modify the Licensed Technology for any lawful purpose (the "License"). However, the rights that Origin grants you under the License are subject to the terms of this Agreement, and you may only make use of the License if you comply with all applicable terms.

The License becomes effective on the date you accept this Agreement or download the Engine Code or any Content. The License does not grant you any title or ownership in the Licensed Technology.

Allowed forms of Distribution and Sublicensing

You may only Distribute the Licensed Technology as follows:

  • Distribution to end users - You may Distribute the Licensed Technology incorporated in object code format only as an inseparable part of a Product to end users who are subject to an end user license agreement which explicitly disclaims any representations, warranties, conditions, and liabilities related to the Licensed Technology. The Product may not contain any Engine Tools or any Marketplace Content Distributed in uncooked source format.
  • Distribution to other licensees - You may Distribute Engine Code (including as modified by you under the License) in Source Code or object code format, or any Content, to an Engine Licensee who has rights under its license to the same Version of the Engine Code or Content that you are Distributing.
  • You also may Distribute Content to an Engine Licensee who is your employee or your contractor regardless of whether they have rights under their license to the same Content, but only to permit that Engine Licensee to utilize that Content in good faith to develop a Product on your behalf for Distribution by you under the License, and not for the purpose of Content pooling or any other Distribution or sublicensing of Content that is not permitted under this Agreement. Recipients of such a Distribution have a limited license to use, reproduce, display, perform, and modify that Content to develop your Product as outlined above, and for no other purpose.
  • Distribution and sublicensing of Examples - You may Distribute or sublicense Examples (including as modified by you under the License) in Source Code or object code format to any third party. However, the rights in this Section 1(c) do not expand or modify your limited Distribution and sublicensing rights for Engine Code and Content (including as modified by you under the License) that are not Examples.

You are permitted to post snippets of Engine Code, up to 30 lines of code in length, online in public forums for the sole purpose of discussing the content of the snippet and not for the purpose of enabling non-Engine Licensees to use or modify any Engine Code, or to aggregate, recombine, or reconstruct any larger portion of the Engine Code.

You may not sublicense the Licensed Technology in Source Code format. You may not sublicense the Licensed Technology in object code format, or any Content, except to grant end users the ability to use, or to permit your publishers and distributors to market and Distribute, a Product that you Distribute as permitted in Section 1(a) above. This paragraph does not limit your rights to Distribute and sublicense Examples.

Other Restrictions

Non-Compatible Licenses

You may not combine, Distribute, or otherwise use the Licensed Technology with any code or other content which is covered by a license that would directly or indirectly require that all or part of the Licensed Technology be governed under any terms other than those of this Agreement ("Non-Compatible License"). Code or content under the following licenses, for example, are prohibited: GNU General Public License (GPL), Lesser GPL (LGPL) (unless you are merely dynamically linking a shared library), or Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License. Code or content under the following licenses, for example, are allowed: BSD License, MIT License, Microsoft Public License, or Apache License. You may not sublicense the Licensed Technology under a Non-Compatible License.

General Restrictions

You may not engage in any activity with respect to the Licensed Technology, including as incorporated into a Product, (1) for any gambling-related activities or Products (as defined by law in the jurisdiction of use); (2) for operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation, aircraft communication systems or air traffic control machines, or for military use in connection with live combat; (3) in violation of any applicable law or regulation; (4) in which the Licensed Technology is rented or leased; (5) that misappropriates any of Origin's other products or services; (6) in support of a claim by you or any third party that the Licensed Technology infringes a patent. You also may not sell or grant a security interest in the Licensed Technology.

2. User License

The Licensed Technology is licensed to you for use by a single User. The User may store the Licensed Technology on any of the User's computers, but the Licensed Technology cannot be shared with others (including any other employees or agents) except through a permitted Distribution as described above.

In order to access and download the Engine Code and Content, you must set up an Account. You may not share or allow others to use your Account. You are responsible for the security of your Account. For questions regarding your Account, please go to www.origin-studios.com.

Under the License, the User may use the Licensed Technology for as long as you comply with this Agreement. If you are a legal entity, references to "you" in this agreement also apply to the User in all cases. You are responsible for the User's compliance with this Agreement.

If you are an Academic Institution, the limitation to use by a single User does not apply with respect to the Licensed Technology. Instead, you may store the Licensed Technology on any of your computers, and you may allow all users of those computers to use the Licensed Technology (excluding any Marketplace Content) under the License. However, those users are not authorized under your License to Distribute or sublicense the Licensed Technology (including as incorporated in a Product) unless they obtain a License of their own.

3. New Versions and Content

During the term of your License, you will be entitled to access future Versions of the Engine Code and new Content that Origin chooses to make available to you. Origin does not have any obligation to make new Versions of the Engine Code or new Content available. Nor does Origin have any obligation to continue to make available for access or download any or all Versions of the Engine Code or Content. However, any Versions of the Engine Code and Content that Origin has made available to you, and for which you have accepted any applicable amendment to this Agreement as described in Section 21, are considered part of the Licensed Technology and may be used under the License (as amended by that amendment).

4. Support

Origin does not have any support obligations with respect to the Licensed Technology under this Agreement. Support resources may be obtained at www.origin-studios.com.

5. Feedback and Contributions

If you provide Origin with any Feedback, Origin is free to use the Feedback however it chooses. If you make any Contribution available to Origin, you hereby assign to Origin all right, title, and interest (including all copyright, patent, and other intellectual property rights) in that Contribution for all current and future methods and forms of exploitation in any country. If any of those rights are not effectively assigned under applicable law, you hereby grant Origin a non-exclusive, fully-paid, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable license to reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, make, use, have made, sell, offer to sell, import, modify and make derivative works based on, and otherwise exploit that Contribution for all current and future methods and forms of exploitation in any country. If any of those rights may not be assigned or licensed under applicable law (such as moral and other personal rights), you hereby waive and agree not to assert all of those rights. However, you may continue to freely use any Feedback that you provide to Origin, and you may continue to use, in any manner consistent with the License, any Contribution that you make available to Origin.

You understand and agree that Origin is not required to make any use of any Feedback or Contribution that you provide. You agree that if Origin makes use of your Feedback or Contribution, Origin is not required to credit or compensate you for your contribution.

You represent and warrant that you have sufficient rights in any Feedback or Contribution that you provide to Origin to grant Origin and other affected parties the rights described above. This includes but is not limited to intellectual property rights and other proprietary or personal rights.

6. Third Party Software

The Engine Code includes Third Party Software components. If Third Party Software has separate software license or attribution requirements, the license terms or other attribution requirements for Third Party Software components can be found in the installation directory for each engine version. By entering into this Agreement and using Third Party Software, you are accepting the terms of those licenses. In this case, the Third Party Software terms will govern your use of the Third Party Software, and if there is inconsistency, those terms will take precedence over the terms of the License for the Third Party Software. You agree that the owners of the Third Party Software are intended third party beneficiaries to this Agreement in relation to your uses of Third Party Software.

7. Ownership

Origin or its licensors own all title, ownership rights, and intellectual property rights in the Engine Code and Content.

All rights granted to you under this Agreement are granted by express license only and not by sale, and all of those rights are limited by the terms of this Agreement. No license or other rights will be created hereunder by implication, estoppel, or otherwise. Any attempted sublicense under this Agreement that is not consistent with the terms of this Agreement will be null and void.

8. Proprietary Notices and Attribution

9. Hardware and Usage Data

You acknowledge that, as a default setting, the Engine Code will collect and send to Origin anonymous hardware and usage data from end users of Products. This functionality is used by Origin to improve the Engine Code. You may modify the Engine Code under the License to turn off that functionality in your Product, or you may include in your Product the capability for your end users to turn off that functionality in the Product.

10. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

Origin, its licensors, and its and their affiliates do not guarantee continuous, error-free, virus-free, or secure operation of or access to the Origin Materials. This paragraph will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither Origin, its licensors, nor its or their affiliates, nor any of Origin's service providers, shall be liable in any way for loss or damage of any kind resulting from the use or inability to use the Origin Materials or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, including but not limited to loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses.

You agree to reimburse Origin on demand for any defence costs incurred by Origin and any payments made or loss suffered by Origin, whether in a court judgment or settlement, based on any matter covered by this Section 11.
