       any means of distribution including GitHub or similar platform, for use with Authorized Systems, provided that you provide every recipient of the 
       License Software a copy of this Agreement, conspicuously  indicate that the Licensed Software is provided under this Agreement, and assure that the 
       recipient understands that by receiving or using the Licensed Software it has entered into this Agreement with NXP.  You are responsible for any 
       violation of this Agreement by anyone who received source code of the Licensed Software from you.

   applicable open-source license(s), such as the BSD License, Apache License or the GNU Lesser General Public License. Your use of the open-source

    EXCLUDING LIABILITY FOR A BREACH OF SECTION 2 (LICENSE GRANTS), SECTION 3 (LICENSE LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS), OR CLAIMS UNDER SECTION 10 
    (INDEMNITY), IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR 
    PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF TIME, INCONVENIENCE, COMMERCIAL LOSS, OR LOST PROFITS, SAVINGS, OR 
    REVENUES, TO THE FULL EXTENT SUCH MAY BE DISCLAIMED BY LAW. NXP’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL COSTS, DAMAGES, CLAIMS, OR LOSSES WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR 
    IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR PRODUCT(S) SUPPLIED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIMITED TO THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO NXP IN CONNECTION WITH 
    THE LICENSED SOFTWARE PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO WHICH LOSSES OR DAMAGES ARE CLAIMED.

12. EXPORT COMPLIANCE. 
    Each party shall comply with all applicable export and import control laws and regulations including but not limited to the US Export Administration 
    Regulation (including restrictions on certain military end uses and military end users as specified in Section 15 C.F.R. § 744.21 and prohibited party 
    lists issued by other federal governments), Catch-all regulations and all national and international embargoes. Each party further agrees that it will 
    not knowingly transfer, divert, export or re-export, directly or indirectly, any product, software, including software source code, or technology 
    restricted by such regulations or by other applicable national regulations, received from the other party under this Agreement, or any direct product of 
    such software or technical data to any person, firm, entity, country or destination to which such transfer, diversion, export or re-export is restricted 
    or prohibited, without obtaining prior written authorization from the applicable competent government authorities to the extent required by those laws.

13. GOVERNMENT CONTRACT COMPLIANCE
    13.1. If you sell Authorized Systems directly to any government or public entity, including U.S., state, local, foreign or international governments or 
    public entities, or indirectly via a prime contractor or subcontractor of such governments or entities, NXP makes no representations, certifications, or 
    warranties whatsoever about compliance with government or public entity acquisition statutes or regulations, including, without limitation, statutes or 
    regulations that may relate to pricing, quality, origin or content.

    13.2. The Licensed Software has been developed at private expense and is a “Commercial Item” as defined in 48 C.F.R. Section 2.101, consisting of 
    “Commercial Computer Software”, and/or “Commercial Computer Software Documentation,” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. Section 12.212 (or 48 C.F.R. 
    Section 227.7202, as applicable) and may only be licensed to or shared with U.S. Government end users in object code form as part of, or embedded 
    within, Authorized Systems. Any agreement pursuant to which you share the Licensed Software will include a provision that reiterates the limitations of 
    this document and requires all sub-agreements to similarly contain such limitations. 

14. CRITICAL APPLICATIONS.  
    In some cases, NXP may promote certain software for use in the development of, or for incorporation into, products or services (a) used in applications  
    requiring fail-safe performance or (b) in which failure could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage (these products 
    and services are referred to as “Critical Applications”). NXP’s goal is to educate customers so that they can design their own end-product solutions to 
    meet applicable functional safety standards and requirements. Licensee makes the ultimate design decisions regarding its products and is solely 
    responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory, safety, and security related requirements concerning its products, regardless of any information 
    or support that may be provided by NXP. As such, Licensee assumes all risk related to use of the Licensed Software in Critical Applications and NXP 
    SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SUCH USE IN CRITICAL APPLICATIONS BY LICENSEE. Accordingly, Licensee will indemnify and hold NXP harmless from any claims, 
    liabilities, damages and associated costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that NXP may incur related to Licensee’s incorporation of the 
    Licensed Software in a Critical Application.

15. CHOICE OF LAW; VENUE.  
    This Agreement will be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of The Netherlands, without regard to conflicts of laws 
    principles, will apply to all matters relating to this Agreement or the Licensed Software, and you agree that any litigation will be subject to the 
    exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will  
    not apply to this document. 

16. TRADEMARKS.  
    You are not authorized to use any NXP trademarks, brand names, or logos.

17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  
    This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and NXP regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes all prior 
    communications, negotiations, understandings, agreements or representations, either written or oral, if any. This Agreement may only be amended in 
    written form, signed by you and NXP.

18. SEVERABILITY.  
    If any provision of this Agreement is held for any reason to be invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining provisions of this Agreement will be 
    unimpaired and, unless a modification or replacement of the invalid or unenforceable provision is further held to deprive you or NXP of a material 
    benefit, in which case the Agreement will immediately terminate, the invalid or unenforceable provision will be replaced with a provision that is valid 
    and enforceable and that comes closest to the intention underlying the invalid or unenforceable provision.

19. NO WAIVER.  
    The waiver by NXP of any breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or a subsequent 
    breach of the same or a different provision.

20. AUDIT.  
    You will keep full, clear and accurate records with respect to your compliance with the limited license rights granted under this Agreement for three    
    years following expiration or termination of this Agreement. NXP will have the right, either itself or through an independent certified public 
    accountant to examine and audit, at NXP’s expense, not more than once a year, and during normal business hours, all such records that may bear upon your 
    compliance with the limited license rights granted above. You must make prompt adjustment to compensate for any errors and/or omissions disclosed by 
    such examination or audit.

22. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES.

    venture, or similar relationship. Neither party is authorized to bind the other to any obligations with third parties.

23. SUCCESSION AND ASSIGNMENT.   
    This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.   
    You may not assign this Agreement, or any part of this Agreement, without the prior written approval of NXP, which approval will not be unreasonably  
    withheld or delayed. NXP may assign this Agreement, or any part of this Agreement, in its sole discretion.

24. PRIVACY.
