services (a) used in safety critical applications or (b) in which failure could

lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage

(such products and services hereinafter referred to as “Critical Applications”),

then customer 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, customer

the like) arising out the use of or inability to use the product, whether or not

based on tort (including negligence), strict liability, breach of contract, breach

of warranty or any other theory, even if advised of the possibility of such

damages.
Notwithstanding any damages that customer might incur for any reason

whatsoever (including without limitation, all damages referenced above and

all direct or general damages), the entire liability of NXP Semiconductors,

its affiliates and their suppliers and customer’s exclusive remedy for all of

proprietary technologies supported by NXP products for use in customer’s

applications. NXP accepts no liability for any vulnerability. Customer should

regularly check security updates from NXP and follow up appropriately.
Customer shall select products with security features that best meet rules,

regulations, and standards of the intended application and make the

ultimate design decisions regarding its products and is solely responsible

for compliance with all legal, regulatory, and security related requirements
