Certain items of software included with the Product Software are subject to “open source” or “free software” licenses (“Open Source Software”).

Upon termination of this EULA, the license granted hereunder will terminate and you must stop all use of the Product Software, but the terms of Sections 2 through 17 (inclusive) will remain in effect, after any such termination.
7. Warranty Disclaimer.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEATO PROVIDES THE PRODUCT SOFTWARE “AS-IS” AND DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS. NEATO DOES NOT GUARANTEE ANY SPECIFIC RESULTS FROM THE USE OF THE PRODUCT SOFTWARE. NEATO MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE PRODUCT SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL CODE, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.
YOU USE ALL PRODUCT INFORMATION (AS DEFINED BELOW) AND THE PRODUCT SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK.

8. Limitation of Liability
Nothing in this EULA and in particular within this «Limitation of Liability» clause shall attempt to exclude liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS, IN NO EVENT WILL (A) NEATO BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY DAMAGES FOR LOST DATA OR LOST PROFITS, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE PRODUCT SOFTWARE, EVEN IF NEATO KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND (B) NEATO’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE PRODUCT SOFTWARE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO NEATO OR NEATO’S AUTHORIZED RESELLER FOR THE PRODUCT AT ISSUE. THIS LIMITATION IS CUMULATIVE AND WILL NOT BE INCREASED BY THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE INCIDENT OR CLAIM. NEATO DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY OF ANY KIND OF NEATO’S LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS.
9. Product Software.
The Product Software provides you information (“Product Information”) regarding the Products as used by you. All Product Information is provided “as is” and “as available”. We cannot guarantee that it is correct or up to date.
10. Confidentiality.
“Confidential Information” shall mean the Product Software and all other information disclosed to you that Neato characterizes as confidential at the time of its disclosure either in writing or orally, except for information which you can demonstrate: (a) is previously rightfully known to you without restriction on disclosure; (b) is or becomes, from no act or failure to act on your part, generally known in the relevant industry or public domain; (c) is disclosed to you by a third party as a matter of right and without restriction on disclosure; or (d) is independently developed by you without access to the Confidential Information. You shall use your best efforts to preserve and protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information at all times, both during the term hereof and for a period of at least 3 years after termination of this EULA, provided, however, that any source code you receive shall be held in confidence in perpetuity. You shall not disclose, disseminate or otherwise publish or communicate Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation or other third party without the prior written consent of Neato. You shall not use any Confidential Information other than in the course of the activities permitted hereunder. You shall notify Neato in writing immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information or any other breach of this EULA, and will cooperate with Neato in every reasonable way to regain possession of Confidential Information and prevent any further unauthorized use. If you are legally compelled to disclose any of the Confidential Information, then, prior to such disclosure, you will (i) immediately notify Neato prior to such disclosure to allow Neato an opportunity to contest the disclosure, (ii) assert the privileged and confidential nature of the Confidential Information, and (iii) cooperate fully with Neato in protecting against any such disclosure and/or obtaining a protective order narrowing the scope of such disclosure and/or use of the Confidential Information. In the event such protection is not obtained, you shall disclose the Confidential Information only to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable legal requirements. You acknowledge that the Product Software contains valuable trade secrets and proprietary information of Neato, that any actual or threatened breach of this Section 10 or Section 2 (Restrictions) of this EULA will constitute immediate, irreparable harm to Neato for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and that injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy for such breach.
11. Export Compliance.
The Product Software and related technology may be subject to U.S. export control laws and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries. You agree to strictly comply with all such laws and regulations and acknowledge that you have the responsibility to obtain authorization to export, re-export, or import the Product Software and related technology, as may be required. You will indemnify and hold Neato harmless from any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) arising from or relating to any breach by you of your obligations under this section.
12. Governing Law; Venue.
The courts in some countries will not apply California law to some types of disputes. If you reside in one of those countries, then where California law is excluded from applying, your country’s laws will apply to such disputes related to these terms. Otherwise, you agree that this EULA, and any claim, dispute, action, cause of action, issue, or request for relief relating to this EULA, will be governed by the laws of California, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles that require the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction. Any action or proceeding relating to this EULA must be brought in a federal or state court located in Alameda County, California and each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court in any such claim or dispute, except that Neato may seek injunctive relief in any court having jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or Confidential Information.
13. Assignment.
Neither the rights nor the obligations arising under this EULA are assignable by you, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and without effect.
14. Notices.
Any notice to you may be provided by email to the address that you registered with Neato.
15. Severability.
If any provision of this EULA is unenforceable, such provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
16. Waiver.
All waivers by Neato will be effective only if in writing. Any waiver or failure by Neato to enforce any provision of this EULA on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
17. General.
The Product Software is deemed irrevocably accepted upon your use of the Product Software or Product. Neato will have no responsibility to provide maintenance or support services with respect to the Product Software.
The headings of Sections of this EULA are for convenience and are not to be used in interpreting this EULA.
