1. License Grant.
This is a license, not a sales agreement, between you and Fortinet. The term “Software”, as used throughout this Agreement, includes all Fortinet
and third party firmware and software provided to you with, or incorporated into, Fortinet appliances and any stand-alone software provided to you
by Fortinet, with the exception of any open source software contained in Fortinet’s Products which is discussed in detail in section 15 below, and the
term “Software” includes any accompanying documentation, any updates and enhancements of the software or firmware provided to you by Fortinet,
at its option. Subject to proper payment to Fortinet and your compliance with the other terms and conditions, Fortinet grants to you a non-transferable
(except as provided in section 5 (“Transfer”) and section 13 (“Open Source Software”) below), non-exclusive license to use the Software solely for
your internal business purposes, in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement and subject to any further restrictions in Fortinet docu-
mentation, and solely on the Fortinet appliance, or, in the case of blades, CPUs or databases, on the single blade, CPU or database on which Fortinet
installed the Software or, for stand-alone Software, solely on a single computer running a validly licensed copy of the operating system for which
the Software was designed, or, in the case of blades, CPUs or databases, on a single blade, CPU or database. For clarity, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, all licenses of Software to be installed on blades, CPUs or databases are licensed on a per single blade, solely for one blade and not for
multiple blades that may be installed in a chassis, per single CPU or per single database basis, as applicable. The Software is “in use” on any Fortinet
appliances when it is loaded into temporary memory (i.e. RAM). Note that, for evaluation or beta Products for which Fortinet does not charge a fee,
the payment requirement does not apply and the Product is provided to you as-is and you are not entitled to any warranty, under section 6 (“Limited
Warranty”) below or otherwise. You agree that, except for the limited, specific license rights granted in this section 1, you receive no license rights to
the Software.
2. Limitation on Use.
You may not attempt to, and, if you are a corporation, you are responsible to prevent your employees and contractors from attempting to, (a) modify,
translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, create derivative works based on, sublicense, or distribute the Software; (b) rent or lease any
rights in the Software in any form to any third party or make the Software available or accessible to third parties in any other manner; (c) except as
provided in section 5, transfer assign or sublicense right to any other person or entity, or (d) remove any proprietary notice, labels, or marks on the
Software, Products, and containers.
3. Proprietary Rights.
All rights, title, interest, and all copyrights to the Software and any copy made thereof by you and to any Product remain with Fortinet. You acknowl-
edge that no title to the intellectual property in the Software or other Products is transferred to you and you will not acquire any rights to the Software
or other Products except for the specific license as expressly set forth in section 1 (“License Grant”) above.
4. Term and Termination.
Except for evaluation and beta licenses or other licenses where the term of the license is limited per the evaluation/beta or other agreement, the
term of the license is for the duration of Fortinet’s copyright in the Software. Fortinet may terminate this Agreement, and the licenses and other rights
herein, immediately without notice if you breach or fail to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You agree that, upon such
termination, you will cease using the Software and any Product and either destroy all copies of the Fortinet documentation or return all materials to
Fortinet. The provisions of this Agreement, other than the license granted in section 1 (“License Grant”), shall survive termination.
5. Transfer.
If you are a Fortinet contracted and authorized reseller or distributor of Products, you may transfer (not rent or lease unless specifically agreed to in
writing by Fortinet) the Software to one end user on a permanent basis, provided that: (i) you ensure that your customer and the end user receives
a copy of this Agreement, is bound by its terms and conditions, and, by selling the Product or Software, you hereby agree to enforce the terms in
this Agreement against such end user, (ii) you at all times comply with all applicable United States export control laws and regulations, and (iii) you
agree to refund any fees paid to you by an end user who purchased Product(s) from you but does not agree to the terms contained in this EULA and
therefore wishes to return the Product(s) as provided for in this Agreement.
6. Limited Warranty.
Fortinet provides this limited warranty for its product only to the single end-user person or entity that originally purchased the Product from Fortinet
or its authorized reseller or distributor and paid for such Product. The warranty is only valid for Products which are registered on Fortinet’s Support
Website: https://support.fortinet.com. For the below software warranty to start, registration must take place within three hundred sixty-five (365) days
from the date the Product was originally shipped from Fortinet’s facilities or the warranty is null and void and will not be honored. For the hardware
warranty, such warranty starts on the earlier of the date of Product registration on Fortinet’s Support Website or ninety (90) days from the date that
the Product was originally shipped from Fortinet’s facilities. It is the Fortinet distributor’s and reseller’s responsibility to make clear to the end user
the date the product was originally shipped from Fortinet, and it is the end user’s responsibility to understand the original ship date from the party
from which the end user purchased the product. All warranty claims must be submitted in writing to Fortinet before the expiration of the warranty
term or such claims are waived in full, i.e. ninety (90) days from the earlier of registration or the automatically started term for hardware and spare
parts claims and three hundred sixty-five (365) days from registration within three hundred sixty-five (365) days from shipment for software claims.
Fortinet provides no warranty for any beta or evaluation Products, for any spare parts not purchased directly from Fortinet by the end-user, for any
11. Product License Agreement
accessories, or for any stand-alone software.
Fortinet warrants that the hardware portion of the Products, including spare parts unless noted otherwise (“Hardware”) will be free from material
defects in workmanship as compared to the functional specifications for the period set forth as follows and applicable to the Product type (“Hardware
Warranty Period”): a three hundred sixty-five (365) day limited warranty for the Hardware excluding spare parts, and, for spare parts, solely a ninety
(90) days limited warranty. Fortinet’s sole obligation shall be to repair or replace the defective Hardware at no charge to the original owner. This
obligation is exclusive of transport fees, labor or installation costs, and any other cost which are not directly associated to the Product. Such repair or
replacement will be rendered by Fortinet at an authorized Fortinet service facility as determined by Fortinet. The replacement Hardware need not be
new or of an identical make, model, or part; Fortinet may, in its discretion, replace the defective Hardware (or any part thereof) with any reconditioned
Product that Fortinet reasonably determines is substantially equivalent (or superior) in all material respects to the defective Hardware. The Hardware
Warranty Period for the repaired or replacement Hardware shall be for the greater of the remaining Hardware Warranty Period or ninety days from the
delivery of the repaired or replacement Hardware. If Fortinet determines in its reasonable discretion that a material defect is incapable of correction or
that it is not practical to repair or replace defective Hardware, the price paid by the original purchaser for the defective Hardware will be refunded by
Fortinet upon return to Fortinet of the defective Hardware. All Hardware (or part thereof) that is replaced by Fortinet, or for which the purchase price is
refunded, shall become the property of Fortinet upon replacement or refund.
90-day Software Warranty: Fortinet warrants that the software portion of Hardware Products will substantially conform to Fortinet’s then current func-
tional specifications for the Software, as set forth in the applicable documentation for a period of ninety (90) days (“Software Warranty Period”), if the
Software is properly installed on approved Hardware and operated as contemplated in its documentation. Fortinet’s sole obligation shall be to repair
or replace the non-conforming Software with software that substantially conforms to Fortinet’s functional specifications. Except as otherwise agreed
by Fortinet in writing, the replacement Software is provided only to the original licensee, and is subject to the terms and conditions of the license
granted by Fortinet for the Software. The Software Warranty Period shall extend for an additional ninety (90) days after any replacement software is
delivered. If Fortinet determines in its reasonable discretion that a material non-conformance is incapable of correction or that it is not practical to
repair or replace the non-conforming Software, the price paid by the original licensee for the non-conforming Software will be refunded by Fortinet;
provided that the non-conforming Software (and all copies thereof) is first returned to Fortinet. The license granted respecting any Software for which
a refund is given automatically terminates immediately upon refund. For purpose of the above hardware and software warranties, the term “functional
specifications” means solely those specifications authorized and published by Fortinet that expressly state in such specifications that they are the
functional specifications referred to in this section 6 of this Agreement, and, in the event no such specifications are provided to you with the Software
or Hardware, there shall be no warranty on such Software.
