Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) markets, sells, and loans all evaluation boards, kits, and/or modules
(EVMs) pursuant to, and user expressly acknowledges, represents, agrees, and takes sole responsibility
and risk with respect to the following:
1. User agrees and acknowledges that EVMs are intended to be handled and used for feasibility
evaluation only in laboratory and/or development environments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
certain instances, TI makes certain EVMs available to users that do not handle and use EVMs solely
for feasibility evaluation only in laboratory and/or development environments, but may use EVMs in a
hobbyist environment. All EVMs made available to hobbyist users are FCC certified, as applicable.
Hobbyist users acknowledge, agree, and shall comply with all applicable terms, conditions, warnings,
and restrictions in this document and are subject to the disclaimer and indemnity provisions included in
this document.
2. Unless otherwise indicated, EVMs are not finished products and not intended for consumer use. EVMs
are intended solely for use by technically qualified electronics experts who are familiar with the
dangers and application risks associated with handling electrical mechanical components, systems,
and subsystems.
3. User agrees that EVMs shall not be used as, or incorporated into, all or any part of a finished product.
4. User agrees and acknowledges that certain EVMs may not be designed or manufactured by TI.
5. User must read the user's guide and all other documentation accompanying EVMs, including without
limitation any warning or restriction notices, prior to handling and/or using EVMs. Such notices contain
important safety information related to, for example, temperatures and voltages. For additional
information on TI's environmental and/or safety programs, please visit www.ti.com/esh [4] or contact TI.
6. User assumes all responsibility, obligation, and any corresponding liability for proper and safe handling
and use of EVMs.
7. Should any EVM not meet the specifications indicated in the user’s guide or other documentation
accompanying such EVM, the EVM may be returned to TI within 30 days from the date of delivery for a
full refund. THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY MADE BY TI
TO USER AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED, OR
STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO USER FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RELATED TO THE HANDLING OR USE OF ANY
EVM.
8. No license is granted under any patent right or other intellectual property right of TI covering or relating
to any machine, process, or combination in which EVMs might be or are used. TI currently deals with a
variety of customers, and therefore TI’s arrangement with the user is not exclusive. TI assumes no
liability for applications assistance, customer product design, software performance, or infringement of
patents or services with respect to the handling or use of EVMs.
9. User assumes sole responsibility to determine whether EVMs may be subject to any applicable federal,
state, or local laws and regulatory requirements (including but not limited to U.S. Food and Drug
Administration regulations, if applicable) related to its handling and use of EVMs and, if applicable,
compliance in all respects with such laws and regulations.
10. User has sole responsibility to ensure the safety of any activities to be conducted by it and its
employees, affiliates, contractors or designees, with respect to handling and using EVMs. Further, user
is responsible to ensure that any interfaces (electronic and/or mechanical) between EVMs and any
human body are designed with suitable isolation and means to safely limit accessible leakage currents
to minimize the risk of electrical shock hazard.
11. User shall employ reasonable safeguards to ensure that user’s use of EVMs will not result in any
property damage, injury or death, even if EVMs should fail to perform as described or expected.
