READ CAREFULLY: AUTODESK LICENSES THE SOFTWARE AND OTHER LICENSED MATERIALS ONLY ON
THE CONDITION THAT LICENSEE ACCEPTS ALL OF THE TERMS CONTAINED OR REFERENCED IN THIS
AGREEMENT.
By selecting the “I accept” button or other button or mechanism designed to acknowledge agreement to the terms of
an electronic copy of this Agreement, or by installing, downloading, accessing, or otherwise copying or using all or
any portion of the Autodesk Materials, (i) you accept this Agreement on behalf of the entity for which you are
authorized to act (e.g., an employer) and acknowledge that such entity is legally bound by this Agreement (and you
agree to act in a manner consistent with this Agreement) or, if there is no such entity for which you are authorized to
act, you accept this Agreement on behalf of yourself as an individual and acknowledge that you are legally bound by
this Agreement, and (ii) you represent and warrant that you have the right, power and authority to act on behalf of and
bind such entity (if any) or yourself. You may not accept this Agreement on behalf of another entity unless you are
an employee or other agent of such other entity with the right, power and authority to act on behalf of such other
entity.
If Licensee is unwilling to accept this Agreement, or you do not have the right, power and authority to act on behalf of
and bind such entity or yourself as an individual (if there is no such entity), (a) DO NOT SELECT THE “I ACCEPT”
BUTTON OR OTHERWISE CLICK ON ANY BUTTON OR OTHER MECHANISM DESIGNED TO ACKNOWLEDGE
AGREEMENT, AND DO NOT INSTALL, DOWNLOAD, ACCESS, OR OTHERWISE COPY OR USE ALL OR ANY
PORTION OF THE AUTODESK MATERIALS; AND (b) WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF
ACQUIRING THE AUTODESK MATERIALS, LICENSEE MAY RETURN THE AUTODESK MATERIALS
(INCLUDING ANY COPIES) TO THE ENTITY FROM WHICH THEY WERE ACQUIRED FOR A REFUND OF THE
APPLICABLE LICENSE FEES PAID BY THE LICENSEE.
The words “Autodesk", “Agreement” and “Licensee” and other capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined
terms. The definitions can be found in Exhibit A (if the terms are not defined in the main body of the Agreement).
1. License
1.1 License Grant. Subject to and conditioned on Licensee’s continuous compliance with this Agreement and
payment of the applicable fees, Autodesk grants Licensee a nonexclusive, nonsublicensable, nontransferable, limited
license to Install and Access the Licensed Materials, in each case solely (a) in the Territory, (b) within the scope of
the License Type and Permitted Number specified in the applicable License Identification, and (c) in accordance with
the other terms of this Agreement. Various License Types are described in Exhibit B. In any case where the
License Identification does not specify a License Type or Permitted Number, or there is no License Identification, the
License Type will, by default, be the Evaluation License and the Permitted Number will, by default, be one (1).
1.2 Upgrades and Previous Versions.
1.2.1 Effect of Upgrades. If Autodesk or a Reseller provides Licensee with an Upgrade to other
Licensed Materials previously licensed to Licensee, the Licensed Materials previously licensed to Licensee and any
other Autodesk Materials relating thereto will thereafter be deemed to be a “Previous Version.” Except as set forth in
Section 1.2.2 (Exception for Relationship Program Licensees), the license grant and other rights with respect to any
Previous Version will terminate one hundred twenty (120) days after Installation of the Upgrade. Within such one
hundred twenty (120) day period, except as set forth in Section 1.2.2 (Exception for Relationship Program
Licensees), (a) Licensee must cease all use of any Previous Version and Uninstall all copies of the Previous Version,
and (b) upon expiration of such period, such Previous Version will no longer constitute Licensed Materials but rather
will be deemed to be Excluded Materials and Licensee will no longer have a license for any such Previous Version.
At Autodesk’s request, Licensee agrees to destroy or return to Autodesk or the Reseller from which they were
acquired all copies of the Previous Version. Autodesk reserves the right to require Licensee to show satisfactory
proof that all copies of any Previous Version have been Uninstalled and, if so requested by Autodesk, destroyed or
returned to Autodesk or the Reseller from which they were acquired.
1.2.2 Exception for Relationship Program Licensees. The termination of rights as to Previous Versions
described in Section 1.2.1 (Effect of Upgrades) may not apply to Licensee if and to the extent (a) Licensee
participates in a Relationship Program and the Relationship Program Terms authorize Licensee to retain such
Previous Versions or (b) otherwise authorized in writing by Autodesk.
1.3 Additional Terms. The Licensed Materials (or portions thereof) may be subject to terms (e.g., terms
accompanying such Licensed Materials or made available in connection with ordering, installing, downloading,
accessing, using or copying such Licensed Materials) that are in addition to or different from the terms set forth in this
Agreement, and Licensee agrees to comply with such terms.
1.4 Other Materials. If Autodesk provides or makes available to Licensee any additional materials associated
with the Licensed Materials, including any corrections, patches, service packs, updates or upgrades to, or new
versions of, the Licensed Materials (including Upgrades) or any Supplemental Materials or User Documentation for
the Licensed Materials, (a) such additional materials may include or be subject to other terms in addition to or
different from the terms set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, additional or different fees, license
terms, or restrictions on use), and Licensee agrees to comply with such terms, or (b) if there are no other terms for
such additional materials, they will (except as otherwise provided by Section 1.2 (Upgrades and Previous Versions))
be subject to the same terms (including, without limitation, the licenses, applicable License Type and Permitted
Number, and other terms of this Agreement) as the Licensed Materials to which such additional materials apply. In
no event will the foregoing result in any rights with respect to Excluded Materials.
1.5 Authorized Users. Licensee may permit the Licensed Materials to be Installed and/or Accessed only by
Licensee’s Personnel (except as otherwise designated in the applicable License Type), and any such Installation or
Access will be subject to any other requirements imposed by this Agreement and the applicable License Type and
Permitted Number. Licensee will be responsible for compliance with this Agreement by Licensee’s Personnel and
any other persons who may have Access to the Autodesk Materials through Licensee (whether or not such Access is
authorized by Autodesk or within the scope of the applicable License Type and Permitted Number).
1.6 Third-Party Licensed Materials. The Autodesk Materials may contain or be accompanied by third-party
software, data or other materials that are subject to and provided in accordance with terms that are in addition to or
different from the terms set forth in this Agreement. Such terms may be included or referenced in or with such third-
party software, data or other materials (e.g., in the “About box”) or a web page specified by Autodesk (the URL for
which may be obtained on Autodesk’s website or on request to Autodesk). Licensee agrees to comply with such
terms. In addition, Licensee will take sole responsibility for obtaining and complying with any licenses that may be
necessary to use third-party software, data or other materials that Licensee uses or obtains for use in conjunction
with the Licensed Materials. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Autodesk has no responsibility for, and makes
no representations or warranties regarding, such third-party software, data or other materials or Licensee’s use of
such third-party software, data or other materials.
1.7 Relationship Programs. Autodesk may offer to Licensee, and (if so) Licensee may participate in one (1) or
more Relationship Programs applicable to the Licensed Materials licensed to Licensee under this Agreement (and
such Relationship Programs may include rights in addition to or different from those set forth in this Agreement).
Any Relationship Programs are subject to Autodesk’s terms therefor, which terms are set forth in the applicable
Relationship Program Terms. Licensee agrees that if it requests, accepts, or makes use of any Relationship
Program, Licensee will be bound by such terms, as they may be modified from time to time in accordance with the
applicable Relationship Program Terms (and such terms, as so modified from time to time, are a part of and
incorporated by reference into this Agreement), and Licensee agrees to comply with such terms. Licensee
acknowledges that Autodesk may require a further acceptance of such terms as a condition to participation in a
Relationship Program.
1.8 Services. Autodesk may provide, and Licensee may elect to receive or benefit from, certain Services from
time to time. Any Services are subject to Autodesk’s terms therefor, which terms are set forth in the applicable
Services Terms. Licensee agrees that if it requests, accepts, or makes use of any Services, Licensee will be bound
by such terms, as they may be modified from time to time in accordance with the applicable Services Terms (and
such terms, as so modified from time to time, are a part of and incorporated by reference into this Agreement), and
Licensee agrees to comply with such terms. Licensee acknowledges that Autodesk may require a further
acceptance of such terms as a condition to providing Services.
1.9 Archival Copy. Licensee’s license under Section 1.1 (License Grant) includes the right to make a single
archival copy of the Licensed Materials in the Territory, provided that (a) the single-copy limitation will not apply to
copies made as an incidental part of a routine backup of Licensee’s entire computer system on which the Licensed
Materials are Installed in accordance with this Agreement, where such backup includes the making of copies of
substantially all other software on such computer system and (b) any archival copy may be Accessed or Installed
(other than on a backup storage medium from which the Licensed Materials cannot be Accessed) only when and for
so long as the primary copy of the Licensed Materials is inaccessible and inoperable. Copies of the Licensed
Materials that are Installed and are in excess of the Permitted Number at any time while the primary copy of the
Licensed Materials is also Accessible are not "archival copies" as permitted under this Section 1.9 (Archival Copy).
1.10 Nature of Licenses. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that when Licensee acquires a license of Licensed
Materials, (including through a Relationship Program or Services), Licensee’s acquisition is neither contingent on the
delivery of any future features or functionality nor subject to any public or other comments (oral, written or otherwise)
made by Autodesk regarding future features or functionality.
1.11 APIs. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that any API Information and Development Materials (unless
otherwise specified by Autodesk in additional or different terms associated with such API Information or Development
Materials) (a) are confidential and proprietary to Autodesk, (b) may not be distributed, disclosed or otherwise provided
to third parties, (c) may be used only internally and only in conjunction with and for Licensee’s own authorized internal
use of the Licensed Materials to which the API Information or Development Materials relate, such as the development
and support of applications, modules and components to operate on or with such Licensed Materials, and (d) may
only be Installed on the same Computer(s) where such Licensed Materials are permitted to be Installed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or Section 3 (All Rights Reserved), if Licensee develops any such applications,
modules and components in accordance with this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement will prohibit Licensee from
using such applications, modules and components with (and porting such applications, modules and components to)
other software and hardware (including the software and hardware of third parties), if such applications, modules and
components (i) do not incorporate or embody any Development Materials or other Autodesk Materials (other than the
API Information that was used in the development thereof in accordance with this Agreement) and (ii) do not disclose
the API Information. For purposes of this Section 1.11 (APIs), (A) “API Information” means the standard applications
programming interface (“API”) information generally provided by Autodesk to licensees of the Licensed Materials that
specifies the requirements for interfacing to (e.g., invoking or directing the functions of) the software included in such
Licensed Materials; and (B) “Development Materials” means SDKs and other toolkits, libraries, scripts, reference or
sample code, and similar developer materials included in the Licensed Materials. API Information does not include
any implementation of such interface information, any Development Materials, or any other software, module or
component.
2. License Limitations; Prohibitions
Autodesk and its licensors retain title to and ownership of, and all other rights with respect to, the Autodesk Materials
and all copies thereof, including, without limitation, any related copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, and
other intellectual property rights. Licensee has only the limited licenses granted with respect to the Licensed
Materials expressly set forth in this Agreement, and Licensee has no other rights, implied or otherwise. Licensee
acknowledges and agrees that the Autodesk Materials are licensed, not sold, and that rights to Install and Access the
Licensed Materials are acquired only under the license from Autodesk. The structure and organization of Software
included in the Autodesk Materials, any source code or similar materials relating to such Software, any API
Information and Development Materials (both as described in Section 1.11 (APIs)), and any other Licensed Materials
identified as confidential or proprietary are valuable trade secrets of, and confidential and proprietary information of,
Autodesk and its suppliers, and (a) may not be distributed, disclosed or otherwise provided to third parties, and (b)
may be used only internally and only in conjunction with and for Licensee’s own authorized internal use of the
Licensed Materials.
4. Privacy; Use of Information; Connectivity
4.1 Privacy and Use of Information. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Licensee (and third parties acting
on Licensee’s behalf) may provide, and Autodesk and its Resellers (and third parties acting on behalf of Autodesk
and its Resellers) may obtain, certain information and data with respect to Licensee (including, without limitation,
personal information) and Licensee’s business in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation,
information and data provided to or obtained by Autodesk and its Resellers (or third parties acting on behalf of
Autodesk and its Resellers) through the Customer Information Form and otherwise, in connection with ordering,
registration, activation, updating, validating entitlement to, auditing, monitoring Installation of and Access to Autodesk
Materials, Relationship Programs and Services and managing the relationship with Licensee. Licensee hereby
consents to Autodesk maintaining, using, storing and disclosing such information and data (including, without
limitation, personal information, if any) in conformity with Autodesk’s policies on privacy and data protection, as such
policies may be updated from time to time, including without limitation Autodesk’s Privacy Statement, as currently
located at http://usa.autodesk.com/privacy/. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, Licensee
acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Autodesk may from time to time prompt Licensee (and third parties acting on
Licensee’s behalf) to provide express agreement to the terms of Autodesk’s Privacy Statement and/or express
agreement to specific uses of information and data (including, without limitation, personal information); (b) Autodesk
may provide information and data, including, without limitation, information and data about Licensee’s use of
Autodesk Materials, Relationship Programs, and Licensee’s support requests, to Autodesk subsidiaries and affiliates,
Resellers and other third parties in connection with the provision, maintenance, administration or usage of Licensed
Materials, Relationship Programs or Services or in connection with enforcement of any agreements relating to
Licensed Materials, Relationship Programs or Services; and (c) Autodesk may make cross-border transfers of such
information and data, including to jurisdictions with privacy or data protection laws that are less protective of Licensee
than the jurisdiction in which Licensee is domiciled. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that such policies may be
changed from time to time by Autodesk and that, effective upon posting on Autodesk’s website or other written notice
from Autodesk, Licensee will be subject to such changes.
4.2 Connectivity. Certain Licensed Materials may facilitate or require Licensee’s access to and use of content
and services that are hosted on websites maintained by Autodesk or by third parties. In some cases, such content
and services may appear to be a feature or function within, or extension of, the Licensed Materials on Licensee’s
Computer even though hosted on such websites. Accessing such content or services and use of Licensed Materials
may cause Licensee’s Computer, without additional notice, to connect automatically to the Internet (transitorily,
intermittently or on a regular basis) and to communicate with an Autodesk or third-party website—for example, for
purposes of providing Licensee with additional information, features and functionality or to validate that the Licensed
Materials and/or content or services are being used as permitted under this Agreement or other applicable terms.
Such connectivity to Autodesk websites is governed by Autodesk’s policies on privacy and data protection described
in this Section 4 (Privacy; Use of Information; Connectivity). Such connectivity to websites of third parties is
governed by the terms (including the disclaimers and notices) found on such sites or otherwise associated with the
third-party content or services. Autodesk does not control, endorse, or accept responsibility for any such third-party
content or services, and any dealings between Licensee and any third party in connection with such content or
services, including, without limitation, such third party’s privacy policies, use of personal information, delivery of and
payment for goods and services, and any other terms associated with such dealings, are solely between Licensee
and such third party. Autodesk may at any time, for any reason, modify or discontinue the availability of any third-
party content or services. Access to and use of certain content and services (whether of Autodesk or third parties)
may require assent to separate terms and/or payment of additional fees.
5. Limited Warranty and Disclaimers
5.1 Limited Warranty. Autodesk warrants that, as of the date on which the Licensed Materials are delivered to
Licensee and for ninety (90) days thereafter or if the license term is shorter, such shorter period (“Warranty Period”),
the Licensed Materials will provide the general features and functions described in the User Documentation portion of
the Licensed Materials. Autodesk's entire liability and Licensee’s exclusive remedy during the Warranty Period
(“Limited Warranty”) will be, with the exception of any statutory warranty or remedy that cannot be excluded or limited
under law, at Autodesk's option, (i) to attempt to correct or work around errors, if any, or (ii) to refund the license fees,
if any, paid by Licensee and terminate this Agreement or the license specific to such Licensed Materials. Such
refund is subject to the return, during the Warranty Period, of the Autodesk Materials, with a copy of Licensee’s
License Identification, to Licensee’s local Autodesk office or the Reseller from which Licensee acquired the Autodesk
Materials. THE LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION GIVES LICENSEE SPECIFIC LEGAL
RIGHTS. LICENSEE MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL LEGAL RIGHTS UNDER LAW WHICH VARY FROM
JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. AUTODESK DOES NOT SEEK TO LIMIT LICENSEE’S WARRANTY RIGHTS
TO ANY EXTENT NOT PERMITTED BY LAW.
5.2 Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY PROVIDED IN SECTION 5.1 (LIMITED
WARRANTY), AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AUTODESK AND ITS
SUPPLIERS MAKE, AND LICENSEE RECEIVES, NO WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, OR CONDITIONS OF
ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT, OR WARRANTIES
OTHERWISE IMPLIED BY STATUTE OR FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE) WITH
RESPECT TO ANY AUTODESK MATERIALS, RELATIONSHIP PROGRAMS, OR SERVICES (PURSUANT TO A
RELATIONSHIP PROGRAM OR OTHERWISE). ANY STATEMENTS OR REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT THE
AUTODESK MATERIALS, RELATIONSHIP PROGRAMS OR SERVICES AND THEIR FEATURES OR
FUNCTIONALITY IN THE LICENSED MATERIALS OR ANY COMMUNICATION WITH LICENSEE ARE FOR
INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY, AND DO NOT CONSTITUTE A WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION, OR
CONDITION. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, AUTODESK DOES NOT WARRANT: (a) THAT THE
OPERATION OR OUTPUT OF THE LICENSED MATERIALS OR SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-
FREE, SECURE, ACCURATE, RELIABLE, OR COMPLETE, WHETHER OR NOT UNDER A RELATIONSHIP
PROGRAM OR SUPPORT BY AUTODESK OR ANY THIRD PARTY; (b) THAT ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED
BY AUTODESK OR ANY THIRD PARTY; OR (c) THAT AUTODESK OR ANY THIRD PARTY WILL RESOLVE ANY
PARTICULAR SUPPORT REQUEST OR THAT SUCH RESOLUTION WILL MEET LICENSEE’S REQUIREMENTS
OR EXPECTATIONS. NOTHING IN THE FOREGOING RESTRICTS THE EFFECT OF WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS WHICH MAY BE IMPLIED BY LAW WHICH CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, RESTRICTED OR MODIFIED
NOTWITHSTANDING A CONTRACTUAL RESTRICTION TO THE CONTRARY.
6. Warnings
6.1 Functionality Limitations. The Licensed Materials and Services (except for Licensed Materials designed for
non-commercial use, such as Autodesk Materials designed to be used for household or other consumer purposes or
licensed only for purposes of educational or individual learning) are commercial professional tools intended to be
used by trained professionals only. Particularly in the case of commercial professional use, the Licensed Materials
and Services are not a substitute for Licensee’s professional judgment or independent testing. The Licensed
Materials and Services are intended only to assist Licensee with its design, analysis, simulation, estimation, testing
and/or other activities and are not a substitute for Licensee’s own independent design, analysis, simulation,
estimation, testing, and/or other activities, including those with respect to product stress, safety and utility. Due to
the large variety of potential applications for the Licensed Materials and Services, the Licensed Materials and
Services have not been tested in all situations under which they may be used. Autodesk will not be liable in any
manner whatsoever for the results obtained through use of the Licensed Materials or Services. Persons using the
Licensed Materials or Services are responsible for the supervision, management, and control of the Licensed
Materials and Services and the results of using the Licensed Materials and Services. This responsibility includes,
without limitation, the determination of appropriate uses for the Licensed Materials and Services and the selection of
the Licensed Materials, Services and other computer programs and materials to help achieve intended results.
Persons using the Licensed Materials or Services are also responsible for establishing the adequacy of independent
procedures for testing the reliability, accuracy, completeness, and other characteristics of any output of the Licensed
Materials or Services, including, without limitation, all items designed with the assistance of the Licensed Materials or
Services. Licensee further acknowledges and agrees that the Licensed Materials form part of Licensee’s total
unique hardware and software environment to deliver specific functionality, and that the Licensed Materials and
Services provided by Autodesk may not achieve the results Licensee desires within Licensee’s design, analysis,
simulation, estimation, and/or testing constraints.
6.2 Activation Codes and Security.
6.2.1 Activation Code Required for Installation/Access and Continued Use. Installation of and Access to the
Licensed Materials require, and the continued use thereof may from time to time require, activation codes issued by
Autodesk. Registration may be required before an activation code is issued by Autodesk. Licensee will provide
Autodesk and its Reseller with any information required for such registration and agrees that any information provided
to Autodesk or its Reseller will be accurate and current. Licensee will also maintain and update Licensee’s
registration information, on an ongoing basis, through customer data registration processes, including without
limitation the Customer Information Form, which may be provided by Autodesk. Licensee acknowledges and agrees
that Autodesk may use such information in accordance with its Privacy Statement (as described or referenced in
Section 4 (Privacy; Use of Information; Connectivity)).
6.2.2 Disabling Access. LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT INSTALLATION OF AND
ACCESS TO LICENSED MATERIALS MAY BE DISABLED BY THE ACTIVATION, SECURITY, AND TECHNICAL
PROTECTION MECHANISMS IF LICENSEE TRIES TO TRANSFER ALL OR A PART OF THE LICENSED
MATERIALS TO ANOTHER COMPUTER, IF LICENSEE TAMPERS WITH THE TECHNICAL PROTECTION
MECHANISMS OR DATE-SETTING MECHANISMS ON A COMPUTER OR IN THE LICENSED MATERIALS, IF
LICENSEE USES THE LICENSED MATERIALS PAST AN APPLICABLE RELATIONSHIP PROGRAM PERIOD OR
FIXED TERM, OR IF LICENSEE UNDERTAKES CERTAIN OTHER ACTIONS THAT AFFECT THE SECURITY
MODE OR UNDER OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES AND THAT, IN ANY SUCH EVENT, LICENSEE’S ACCESS TO
LICENSEE’S WORK PRODUCT AND OTHER DATA MAY BE AFFECTED. MORE INFORMATION IS CONTAINED
IN THE APPLICABLE LICENSED MATERIALS OR AVAILABLE FROM AUTODESK ON REQUEST.
6.2.3 Effect of Activation Codes. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that receipt of an activation code (whether
or not provided to Licensee in error) will not constitute evidence of or affect the scope of Licensee’s license rights.
Those rights will be only as set forth in this Agreement and the applicable License Identification.
6.3 Affected Data. Work product and other data created with Licensed Materials made available under certain
License Types, including licenses that limit the permitted purpose to educational purposes or personal learning
purposes, may contain certain notices and limitations that make the work product and other data usable only in
certain circumstances (e.g., only in the education field). In addition, if Licensee combines or links work product or
other data created with such Licensed Materials with work product or other data otherwise created, then such other
work product or data may also be affected by these notices and limitations. Autodesk will have no responsibility or
liability whatsoever if Licensee combines or links work product or other data created with such Licensed Materials
with work product or other data otherwise created. In addition, Licensee will not remove, alter or obscure any such
notices or limitations.
7. Limitations of Liability
7.1 Limitation on Type and Amount of Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL AUTODESK OR ITS SUPPLIERS HAVE
ANY LIABILITY (DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY) FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL
OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, USE, REVENUE, OR DATA; OR FOR BUSINESS
INTERRUPTION (REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY FOR SEEKING SUCH DAMAGES OR OTHER
LIABILITY). IN ADDITION, THE LIABILITY OF AUTODESK AND ITS SUPPLIERS ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO ANY AUTODESK MATERIALS, RELATIONSHIP PROGRAMS OR SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED
THE AMOUNT PAID OR PAYABLE BY LICENSEE FOR SUCH AUTODESK MATERIALS, RELATIONSHIP
PROGRAMS, OR SERVICES, RESPECTIVELY.
7.2 Application of and Basis for Limitations. THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY IN THIS SECTION 7
(LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY) WILL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW TO
ANY DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY, HOWEVER CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF
LIABILITY, WHETHER DERIVED FROM CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE)
OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF AUTODESK HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LIABILITY AND
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE LIMITED REMEDIES AVAILABLE HEREUNDER FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL
PURPOSE. ALSO, LICENSEE AGREES THAT THE LICENSE, RELATIONSHIP PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
FEES AND OTHER FEES CHARGED BY AUTODESK AND PAID BY LICENSEE ARE BASED ON AND
REFLECTIVE OF THE ALLOCATION OF RISK CONTEMPLATED BY THIS SECTION 7 (LIMITATIONS OF
LIABILITY) AND THAT THE LIABILITY LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7 (LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY) ARE AN
ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
8. Term and Termination
8.1 Term; Termination or Suspension. Each license under this Agreement, with respect to each specific set of
Licensed Materials covered by this Agreement, will become effective as of the latest to occur of: (a) this Agreement
becoming effective, (b) payment by Licensee of the applicable fees, excluding licenses (such as evaluation licenses)
where no fees are required, (c) delivery of the specific Licensed Materials, and (d) in the case of Autodesk Materials
provided in connection with a Relationship Program, upon commencement of the applicable Relationship Program
period or fixed term. Each of Autodesk or Licensee may terminate this Agreement, Licensee’s license as to Licensed
Materials, Licensee’s Relationship Program, and/or the provision of Services relating to the Licensed Materials if the
other party is in breach of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within ten (10) days after written notice of the
breach; however, if Licensee is in breach of Section 1 (License) or Section 2 (License Limitations; Prohibitions),
Autodesk may terminate this Agreement, Licensee’s license as to Licensed Materials, Licensee’s Relationship
Program, and/or the provision of Services relating to the Licensed Materials immediately upon written notice of the
breach. In addition, Autodesk may, as an alternative to termination, suspend Licensee’s license as to the Licensed
Materials, Licensee’s Relationship Program, the provision of Services relating to the Licensed Materials, and/or other
Autodesk obligations or Licensee rights under this Agreement (or under other terms, if any, relating to materials
associated with the Licensed Materials), if Licensee fails to make a payment to Autodesk or a Reseller or otherwise
fails to comply with the provisions of this Agreement or other terms relating to any such license, Relationship
Program, Services, or other associated materials. Autodesk may also terminate this Agreement if Licensee
becomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings, becomes insolvent, or makes an arrangement with Licensee’s creditors.
This Agreement will terminate automatically without further notice or action by Autodesk if Licensee goes into
liquidation.
Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Autodesk may assign or sub-contract any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement.
8.2 Effect of Termination of Agreement or License. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, the
licenses granted hereunder will terminate. Upon termination or expiration of any license granted to Licensee,
Licensee must cease all use of Autodesk Materials to which such license applies, any Relationship Program
(including, without limitation, associated services), and any Services and Uninstall all copies of the Autodesk

were acquired all Autodesk Materials. Autodesk reserves the right to require Licensee to show satisfactory proof
that all copies of the Autodesk Materials have been Uninstalled and, if so requested by Autodesk, destroyed or
returned to Autodesk or the Reseller from which they were acquired. If Licensee’s Relationship Program is
terminated or expires, but this Agreement and Licensee’s license to the Licensed Materials remains in effect, any
rights of Licensee based on the Relationship Program (including, without limitation, rights with respect to Previous
Versions) will terminate, and (unless otherwise authorized by the Relationship Program Terms) Licensee must
comply with the obligations of Section 1.2.1 (Effect of Upgrades) with respect to (including the obligations to cease
use of, Uninstall and destroy or return) all copies of such Previous Versions.
8.3 Survival. Sections 1.3 (Additional Terms), 1.4 (Other Materials), 1.5 (Authorized Users), 1.6 (Third-Party
Licensed Materials), 1.11 (APIs), 2.1.1 (No License Granted;Unauthorized Activities), 2.1.4 (Effect of Unauthorized

the Autodesk Materials in a country in the Americas (including the Caribbean) or any other country not specified in
this Section 9.2 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction). The laws of such jurisdictions shall govern without reference to
the conflicts-of-laws rules thereof. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the
Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act shall not apply to (and are excluded from the laws governing) this
Agreement. In addition, each party agrees that any claim, action or dispute arising under or relating to this
Agreement will be brought exclusively in (and the parties will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of) the Superior
Court of the State of California, County of Marin, or the United States District Court for the Northern District of
California in San Francisco, except that if Licensee has acquired the Autodesk Materials in (a) a country in Europe,
Africa or the Middle East, any such claim or dispute will be brought exclusively in (and the parties will be subject to
the exclusive jurisdiction of) the courts of Switzerland, or (b) a country in Asia, Oceania or the Asia-Pacific region, any
such claim or dispute will be brought exclusively in (and the parties will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of) the
courts of Singapore. Nothing in the foregoing will prevent Autodesk from bringing an action for infringement of
intellectual property rights in any country where such infringement is alleged to occur.
9.3 No Assignment; Insolvency. Licensee may not assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder (whether by

whole or in part under applicable law, such provision or such portion thereof will be ineffective as to the jurisdiction in
which it is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable to the extent of its illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability and will be
deemed modified to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to give the maximum effect to the intent
of the parties. The illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of such provision in that jurisdiction will not in any way
affect the legality, validity, or enforceability of such provision or any other provision of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction.
9.6 No Waiver. No term or provision of this Agreement will be considered waived, and no breach excused,
unless such waiver is in writing signed on behalf of the party against which the waiver is asserted. No waiver
