13. Limited Warranty. NI warrants, for your benefit alone, that for a period of ninety (90) days from the date the Software is shipped to you or, if downloaded, from the date the Software is first downloaded by you, (i) the Software will perform substantially in accordance with the performance specifications set forth in the documentation that accompanies the Software, and (ii) the installation media on which NI provides the Software (if any) will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service (collectively, the "Limited Warranty"). Any replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer. Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of or limitation on duration of an express or implied warranty or limitation on any applicable statutory rights of a consumer, so the above limitations may not apply to you; in such event, such warranties are limited to the minimum warranty period allowed by applicable law. The Limited Warranty is void if failure of the Software has resulted from accident, abuse, misapplication, improper calibration by you, third party products (either hardware or software) used by you that are not intended by NI for use with the Software, utilization of an improper hardware or software key, or unauthorized maintenance of the Software.
14. Customer Remedies. NI's sole obligation and liability, and your sole remedy, with respect to the foregoing Limited Warranty will be to, at NI's option, repair or replace the Software or return the pro-rated fees paid by you to NI for the Software license in which event you must return or destroy all copies of the Software in accordance with NI's instructions and the License granted to you will terminate without liability on the part of NI by reason of such termination. NI's obligations as set forth in this Section are contingent on you providing NI with written notice of applicable defects during the warranty period. In addition, you must obtain a Return Material Authorization number from NI before returning the Software under warranty to NI, and you agree to pay any expenses for shipment to and from NI.
15. No Other Warranties. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, GUARANTEE, OR CONDITIONS, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IS MADE BY NI (OR ITS LICENSORS OR SUPPLIERS) WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE OR USE OF THE SOFTWARE. NI DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY, GUARANTEE, CONDITION, OR REPRESENTATION HEREUNDER WITH RESPECT TO ANY THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE, SOURCE CODE, OR SOFTWARE SERVICES, OR THAT THE SOFTWARE, THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE, OR ANY RELATED SOFTWARE SERVICES, SOURCE CODE, OR THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR FREE, OR REGARDING THE CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHER PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM USAGE OF TRADE OR COURSE OF DEALING. NI DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET POSSESSION, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE AND ANY RELATED THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE, SOURCE CODE, AND SOFTWARE SERVICES.
16. Limitations Period. You hereby agree not to bring an action to enforce your remedies under the Limited Warranty or for breach of warranty more than one (1) year after the accrual of such cause of action.
17. Intellectual Property Liability. NI will, at its own expense, defend any claim brought against you by a third party resulting from your use of the Software, to the extent that such claim alleges that the Software infringes any patent, copyright, or trademark of such third party protected by the laws of the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico, Japan, Australia, Switzerland, Norway, or the European Union and provided that such claim does not arise from (i) your use of the Software in combination with equipment, devices, software, or code not made by NI; (ii) your use of the Software in a manner not in accordance with this Agreement or for a purpose not intended by NI; (iii) your failure to incorporate Software updates or upgrades provided by NI that would have avoided the alleged infringement; or (iv) any modification of the Software not made by NI. NI's obligations in this Section are further contingent on you notifying NI in writing promptly upon your obtaining notice of such impending claim and your fully cooperating with NI in preparing a defense. If you provide to NI the authority, assistance, and information NI needs to defend or settle such claim, NI will pay any final award of damages or settlement with respect to such claim and any expense you incur at NI's written request. NI will not be liable for a settlement made without its prior written consent. If the Software is held to be infringing of the rights stated above in this Section and the use of the Software is enjoined, NI will, or if NI believes the Software might be held to infringe a third party's intellectual property rights NI may, at its option, (i) procure for you the right to use the Software; (ii) replace or modify the Software with other software that does not infringe; or (iii) receive your return of the infringing Software and refund to you the license fee payment made by you to NI for the Software. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NI'S LIABILITY, THE LIABILITY OF ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS, AND THE LIABILITY OF ITS AND THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS, UNDER THIS SECTION (INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LIABILITY) AND REGARDLESS OF THE REASON FOR SUCH LIABILITY, WILL NOT EXCEED IN THE AGGREGATE $50,000 (U.S.). The foregoing states your sole remedy for, and NI's sole liability and obligation for, infringement of any patent, trademark, copyright, or other intellectual or industrial property right relating to the Software. THIS LIMITED INDEMNITY IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER STATUTORY OR IMPLIED WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT. THE FOREGOING OBLIGATIONS WILL NOT APPLY TO ANY THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS INCORPORATED IN OR OTHERWISE PROVIDED WITH THE SOFTWARE, AND YOU AGREE TO LOOK TO THE APPLICABLE THIRD PARTY MANUFACTURER WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS FOR INFRINGEMENT INVOLVING THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE OR THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS.
18. Limitation On Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL NI OR ITS LICENSORS, DISTRIBUTORS, OR SUPPLIERS (INCLUDING NI'S AND THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS) BE LIABLE UNDER, OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY: (A) INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; (B) DAMAGES ARISING FROM LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, WASTE EXPENDITUE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOST OR DAMAGED REPUTATION OR GOODWILL, OR LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA OR SOFTWARE; OR (C) THE COST OF PROCURING ANY SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 18, IN NO EVENT WILL NI'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER, OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT RECEIVED BY NI FROM YOU FOR THE APPLICABLE SOFTWARE LICENSE (FOR A TERM LICENSE, THIS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE CURRENT TERM). THE FOREGOING EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATION SHALL APPLY: (i) TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW; (ii) EVEN IF NI HAS BEEN ADVISED, OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE, OF THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSSES, DAMAGES, OR COSTS; (iii) EVEN IF ANY REMEDY IN THIS AGREEMENT FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE; AND (iv) REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OR BASIS OF LIABILITY, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR NEGLIGENCE OR BREACH OF STATUTORY DUTY), STRICT LIABILITY, MISREPRESENTATION, RESTITUTION, OR OTHERWISE.
You acknowledge that the applicable fees and prices reflect this allocation of risk. To the extent the foregoing limitation of liability is not enforceable or fails of its essential purpose, except for liability for bodily injury or death caused by the Software in the form provided by NI or any liability not capable of being excluded by applicable law, the sole liability of NI to you under, or otherwise in connection with, this Agreement shall be limited to the greater of $50,000 (U.S.) or the license fee paid to NI for the Software during the last twelve (12) months prior to the claim.

B. This Agreement constitutes the complete agreement between you and NI regarding use of the Software and supersedes any oral or written proposals, prior agreements, purchase orders, or any other communication between you and NI relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. NI's applicable standard Terms and Conditions of Sale, the current version of which is set forth at http://www.ni.com/legal/termsofsale, will apply to any technical support services provided as part of Software Services and to any Training & Certification Services; provided, however, as set forth herein the provisions of this Agreement may apply and control with respect to any upgrades or updates or other Software that may be provided as part of or in connection with any such services. No delay or omission by NI to exercise any right or power it has under this Agreement will impair or be construed as a waiver of such right or power. Any waiver by NI of a term of this Agreement must be in writing signed by a duly authorized representative of NI. The waiver by NI of any breach of any provision hereof will not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of that provision or of any breach of any other provision. No modification of this Agreement will be effective unless set forth in a writing signed by a duly authorized representative of you and NI. The word "including" as used in this Agreement will be understood as meaning "including without limitation". If you are unable to access the internet to view any of the web pages referred to in this Agreement, you may request the information from your local NI sales office.
C. If any action is brought by either party to this Agreement against the other regarding the subject matter hereof, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover, in addition to any relief granted, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs.
D. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, then: (a) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) the Parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace the provision with a provision that is legal, valid and enforceable and that most closely approximates the original legal intent and economic impact of such provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified in respect of such jurisdiction. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it as aforesaid, then such provision will be ineffective solely as to such jurisdiction, and will be substituted (in respect of such jurisdiction) with a valid, legal and enforceable provision that most closely approximates the original legal intent and economic impact of such provision.
E. Software is, and Third Party Software and Source Code may be, subject to control under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR Part 730 et. seq.), other applicable U.S. export control laws and regulations, and applicable global export control laws and regulations, including, for products exported from the European Union, Regulation (EU) 2021/821 of the European Parliament and of the Council. You represent and warrant that you are not ineligible or otherwise restricted by US or applicable law to receive any copies of the Software, Third Party Software, or Source Code. NI reserves the right not to ship or permit downloading of the Software ordered or otherwise fulfill an order for licenses (including under a Volume License Program or Enterprise Program) if, at any time, NI believes that such shipment or downloading of such Software, Third Party Software, or Source Code or other fulfillment may violate U.S. or other applicable export control laws. You agree that you will not export, re-export, or transfer any Software, Third Party Software, or Source Code in violation of any
U.S. and applicable global export control laws and that you will not export, re-export, or transfer the Software, Third Party Software, or Source Code by any means to (i) any person or entity on OFAC's List of Specially Designated Nationals or on BIS's Denied Persons List, Entity List, or Unverified List, or any other applicable restricted party list or (ii) any prohibited destination, entity, or individual without the required export licenses or authorizations from the U.S. Government or other applicable export licensing authority. For text of the relevant legal materials, see http://www.ni.com/legal/export-compliance.htm.
F. Software may include what is commonly referred to as 'open source' software. Under some of their respective license terms and conditions, NI may be required to provide you with notice of the license terms and attribution to the Third Party Software, in which case NI purposes to provide you with such information (whether via the Software documentation or otherwise). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, use of the open source software will be subject to the license terms and conditions applicable to such open source software, to the extent required by the applicable licensor (which terms and conditions shall not restrict the license rights granted to you hereunder), and to the extent any such license terms and conditions grant you rights that are inconsistent with the limited rights granted to you in this Agreement, then such rights in the applicable open source license shall take precedence over the rights and restrictions granted in this Agreement, but solely with respect to such open source software. NI will comply with any valid written request submitted by you to NI for exercising any rights you may have under such license terms and conditions (but NI makes no commitment on how quickly it will respond to such request).

With the exception of concurrent debug licenses, you may transfer the debug license to a third party in the same country in which you purchased the license or within the European Union if you purchased the license in the European Union, provided that you notify NI in writing of such transfer, including the name and location of such third party; such third party accepts the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and after such transfer you do not retain any copies of the Software, including any upgrades and updates that you may have received, nor retain any of the written materials accompanying the Software. NI may, in its discretion, charge you a fee for the transfer of the license.
ADDENDUM C - Volume License Program Terms
Volume License Program ("VLP"). The VLP is a program to assist customers in managing their licenses. The following terms apply to the VLP.
1. The quote you obtained from NI or its authorized affiliate regarding the VLP and the VLP Startup Kit ("VLP Documentation") is incorporated into this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the VLP Documentation, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will control.
2. Term. The VLP will be effective the date that NI sends the VLP Startup Kit to you ("VLP Effective Date"). The initial term of the VLP will start on the VLP Effective Date and continue for a period of one (1) year (the "Initial VLP Term"). You may renew the VLP for additional one (1) year periods (the Initial VLP Term and each such renewal term each referred to herein as a "VLP Term").
3. Software under the VLP may be used by your employees only on those computers located at the location to which NI delivers the Software unless otherwise specified in the VLP Documentation (the "Site").

The Ordering agency shall not be required to pay attorneys’ fees or other litigation costs except to the extent expressly authorized by statute.
3. Ordering Activity Indemnities. All clauses in the Agreement requiring indemnities by the Ordering Activity are deemed revised to the limited extent necessary to conform with the Anti-Deficiency Act (31 U.S.C. 1341, 41 U.S.C. 11), unless such indemnities are otherwise expressly authorized by statute or agency regulations and procedures.
4. NI Indemnities. To the extent a clause in the Agreement (1) contravenes the Department of Justice’s right (28 U.S.C. 516) to represent Ordering Activity in any case and/or (2) requires that Ordering Activity give sole control over the litigation and/or settlement, such portion of the clause is deemed to be deleted.
5. Renewals. All clauses in the Agreement that violate the Anti-Deficiency Act (31 U.S.C. 1341, 41 U.S.C. 11) prohibition on automatic renewal are deemed revised to the limited extent necessary to conform with the Anti-Deficiency Act.
6. Future Fees or Penalties. All clauses in the Agreement which require the Ordering Activity to agree in advance to pay fees or penalties in excess of the delivery order price are deemed unenforceable against the Ordering Activity except to the extent that such fees are specifically authorized by the Prompt Payment Act or the Equal Access To Justice Act.
7. Dispute Resolution and Venue. This Agreement is subject to the Contract Disputes Act of 1978, as amended (41 U.S.C. 601-613). Failure of the parties to reach agreement on any request for equitable adjustment, claim, appeal or action arising under or relating to this Agreement shall be a dispute to be resolved in accordance with the clause at FAR 52.233-1, Disputes.
