Licence Information

Our SDK is released under the KOBIL licence detailed below. In addition, our SDK uses several open source libraries. All their licences permit usage in a commercial context. However, some of them put a minimal burden on the app developer to ensure that the end user is aware of the library and its licence conditions. So, some of the libraries require a notice in the documentation or in some licence page that can be displayed by the application. In the following, we list our licence and all the libraries and their licence conditions.

KOBIL licence

EXPLANATIONS CONCERNING THE RANGE OF THE GRANTED RIGHTS OF USE
AND THE WARRANTY AND LIABILITY LIMITATIONS


IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

This declaration concerning the range of the granted rights of use and
the warranty and liability limitations represents a contractual agreement
between you (i.e. either a natural person or a legal entity) and KOBIL
GmbH ("KOBIL") concerning the exploitation of the earlier mentioned products
according to their provision including the entity of singular software files,
hardware specific files (drivers), storage media and including the attached
printed or online documentation ("Software").

BY MEANS OF AN INSTALLATION OF THE SOFTWARE, A MULTIPLICATION OR ANY
UTILIZATION IN ANOTHER MANNER YOU WILL FULLY AGREE WITH THE CONDITIONS
OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT:

As far as you are the original purchaser of the Software and you do not
agree to the conditions of the licence contract you are entitled to return
the unutilized software without any delay versus refund of your licence fee
to the authorized dealer/distributor. As far as you fully agree with the
conditions, KOBIL will grant to you the subsequent provisions which will be
explained in more detail concerning the exploitation of the software under
usual use and condition.

The entity of commercial patents (trade-mark rights) is due to KOBIL or her
suppliers. The software is subject to the protection of copyright and the
international copyright agreements. On this basic you are liable to treat
the software like any other product being subject to copyright provisions.
(e.g. like a book). Moreover, you are however entitled to produce one
(1) archival copy of the software for backup or archival purposes or,
alternatively, store the software on one (1) single hard disk and to keep
the original exclusively for backup or storage purposes.

You are entitled to transfer the right of use permanently to a third person
or party. The precondition for this is that you do
not retain any copies of the software and the receiver will accept
these explanations. Unless otherwise provided and contained in this
licence agreement, you are not entitled to transfer, sublease or rent,
to copy, to treat or to modify any arrangements of the software
including remedial actions on the software, storage media or documentation
to any other person. You are also not entitled to translate, sublicence,
utilize in timeshare mode the software or documentation or transmit or
receive it through electronic transmission media. You are made aware
of the fact, that the source code of the software represents a commercial secret
of KOBIL and/or her suppliers. You are therefore neither entitled to revise the
software nor to reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it. The legal
provisions, however, will insofar not be affected by the previous conditions.

As far as you have purchased an "update" of a software this will represent an
inseparable entity with the original KOBIL-Software or that to be upgraded.
Any exploitation or resale of the upgrade of the software will therefore only be
permissible on the basis of the provisions of this licence agreement. The
granted rights related to the purchase of the upgrade will in particular solely
entitle you to the exploitation of those software files which will have modifications
versus the version of the software which is subject to upgrading. The software
provisions are subject to the German Law for Foreign Economics and the German
Decree for Foreign Economics. In case of a sale within a member country of
the European Community an exploitation under normal use and conditions in the
entire area of the European Union and any of her treaty states of the agreement
on the European Economic Community will be permissible.

The software contains possibly source codes, transferable files and/or other
files which have been provided by external suppliers (Third Party Software).
Since for the employment of Third Party Software license provisions of the
external supplier could become effective you will have to observe the license
provisions of the external supplier (where applicable) which are contained in
the online-documentation.
In any case the license provisions of the external supplier will be valid in
supplement however not in place of this license agreement. Above that, KOBIL
is reserving any proprietary rights on the source code, the transferable files
and any other files.
Without respect to any proceedings made by yourself you are not entitled to
disseminate files (in particular the source code of KOBIL and other non
executable files).
Subject to the legal provisions you are entitled to gain knowledge of the
source code of the files KOBIL has made at your disposition only in a machine
readable form or to multiply, treat, exploit or disseminate the source code.

For any information about eventually applicable license fees or additional
license provisions with regard to a further going exploitation and/or a further
proliferation of transferable files please address directly to KOBIL.

LIMITED WARRANTY

KOBIL warrants for a period of 6 months after the date of
delivery of the software that the software under normal use
and conditions will be free of entirely insignificant differences
from the Instructions for Use contained in the documentation, will
function and that the delivered software storage media will be free
of defects in material and workmanship. KOBIL does not warrant that
the operation of the software will meet your requirements or
operate free from error.

Should the software or the storage medium proves defective within
the warranty period mentioned above, KOBIL will at first have the
right to make investigations on the software and the storage medium and
to take remedial action by the issue of a new program version of the
software or in another way resp. to replace the defective storage medium in
its entity or in parts. In case the replacement delivery or remedial actions
will not remedy the defect within an adequate period of time, you will be
entitled, after setting an adequate (post.-term) deadline at your choice, to
cancel the license agreement or to a reasonable reduction of the license fees.

KOBIL is not obliged to warranty if the defect can be derived from an accident
which will occur after delivery of the software, as far as the defect could
be derived from any exploitation other than the normal conditions of operations and
use, or as far as the software has not been properly installed on a
computer for which a license was granted hereunder. With the claim of warranty
rights you will be obliged to prove the data of purchase of the software by
means of a copy of the invoice.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

KOBIL will only be liable for defects which will be caused by KOBIL or her,
accomplices either in a gross negligent or wilful way. Moreover KOBIL will also
be liable for such defects which have been caused by KOBIL or her accomplices
within the fulfillment of a significant contractual duty in a negligent manner.
In case of liability in spite of a neither wilful nor gross negligent deviation
from significant contractual duties, the liability will be limited to the amount
which can be reduced to a typically predictable damage.

These limitations of liability will apply for any liability, no matter which
juristic reason, in particular also for a liability caused by the negligence
of pre-contractual or minor contractual obligations. Excluded from this are,
however, any liabilities with regard to the Product Liability Law as well as
a liability for assured properties, as far as the assurance was designated
to protect you as a customer just from the occurred damage.

You are obliged in the general terms of obligation to lesson damages to take
care of adequate security provisions for the protection of your data and other
software and to produce backup copies in such adequate timely distances as are
deemed necessary in your area of operations as usual with respect to the
carefulness of a professional user of electronic data processing.

ACTIVITIES RELATED TO HIGH RISKS

The software is not tolerant to failure and has not been developed or produced
to function as online-control device in dangerous environments or for the
purpose of resale for such operations which do require operations free of
interference, as e.g. for the operation in nuclear equipments, flight
control systems, communication systems, air traffic control systems,
direct life-supporting devices or weapon systems, with which the malfunction
of the software could cause death, personal harms or serious physical injures
("High Risk Activities"). KOBIL and her suppliers explicitly deny any
explicit or indirect warranty for the ability in case of High Risk Activities.

CONCLUSIVE PROVISIONS

Any amendments to this agreement are subject to written form and have
to be signed by you and a representative of KOBIL. As far as parts of
this agreement are ineffective or cannot be agreed on or become so, the
effectiveness or accomplishment of the remaining provisions of this
licence agreement will not be effected by these facts. The parties
are obliged in this case to agree instead of the provision proves
ineffective upon an effective provision which will be meeting the
economical purpose of this license agreement in the most adequate way.
This license agreement is subject to the Legislation of the Federal
Republic of Germany under exclusion of the UN-Purchase Rights.
The court of jurisdiction for all kinds of legal arguments which
result directly from this agreement or in correspondence with this
agreement will be - as far as you are a merchant in the legal
sense - the site of KOBIL. KOBIL in this case will also be entitled
to take legal action at any other legal court of jurisdiction.
