STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR EVALUATION MODULES (continued)
4.3.1
User shall operate the EVM within TI’s recommended specifications and environmental considerations stated in
the user guide, other available documentation provided by TI, and any other applicable requirements and employ
reasonable and customary safeguards. Exceeding the specified performance ratings and specifications
(including but not limited to input and output voltage, current, power, and environmental ranges) for the EVM
may cause personal injury or death, or property damage. If there are questions concerning performance ratings
and specifications, User should contact a TI field representative prior to connecting interface electronics including
input power and intended loads. Any loads applied outside of the specified output range may also result in
unintended and/or inaccurate operation and/or possible permanent damage to the EVM and/or interface
electronics. Please consult the EVM user guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is
uncertainty as to the load specification, please contact a TI field representative. During normal operation, even
with the inputs and outputs kept within the specified allowable ranges, some circuit components may have
elevated case temperatures. These components include but are not limited to linear regulators, switching
transistors, pass transistors, current sense resistors, and heat sinks, which can be identified using the
information in the associated documentation. When working with the EVM, please be aware that the EVM may
become very warm.
4.3.2
EVMs are intended solely for use by technically qualified, professional electronics experts who are familiar with
the dangers and application risks associated with handling electrical mechanical components, systems, and
subsystems. User assumes all responsibility and liability for proper and safe handling and use of the EVM by
User or its employees, affiliates, contractors or designees. User assumes all responsibility and liability to ensure
that any interfaces (electronic and/or mechanical) between the EVM 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. User assumes all responsibility and liability for any improper or unsafe handling or use of the EVM by
User or its employees, affiliates, contractors or designees.
4.4 User assumes all responsibility and liability to determine whether the EVM is subject to any applicable international,
federal, state, or local laws and regulations related to User’s handling and use of the EVM and, if applicable, User
assumes all responsibility and liability for compliance in all respects with such laws and regulations. User assumes all
responsibility and liability for proper disposal and recycling of the EVM consistent with all applicable international,
federal, state, and local requirements.

Accuracy of Information:
To the extent TI provides information on the availability and function of EVMs, TI attempts to be as
accurate as possible. However, TI does not warrant the accuracy of EVM descriptions, EVM availability or other information
on its websites as accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free.

Disclaimers:
6.1 EXCEPT AS SET FORTH ABOVE, EVMS AND ANY WRITTEN DESIGN MATERIALS PROVIDED WITH THE EVM
(AND THE DESIGN OF THE EVM ITSELF) ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "WITH ALL FAULTS." TI DISCLAIMS ALL
OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING SUCH ITEMS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-
INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS, TRADE SECRETS OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS.
6.2 EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED RIGHT TO USE THE EVM SET FORTH HEREIN, NOTHING IN THESE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS GRANTING OR CONFERRING ANY RIGHTS BY LICENSE, PATENT, OR
ANY OTHER INDUSTRIAL OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT OF TI, ITS SUPPLIERS/LICENSORS OR ANY
OTHER THIRD PARTY, TO USE THE EVM IN ANY FINISHED END-USER OR READY-TO-USE FINAL PRODUCT,
OR FOR ANY INVENTION, DISCOVERY OR IMPROVEMENT MADE, CONCEIVED OR ACQUIRED PRIOR TO OR
AFTER DELIVERY OF THE EVM.
7.
USER'S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS.
USER WILL DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD TI, ITS
LICENSORS AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DAMAGES,
LOSSES, EXPENSES, COSTS AND LIABILITIES (COLLECTIVELY, "CLAIMS") ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION
WITH ANY HANDLING OR USE OF THE EVM THAT IS NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
THIS OBLIGATION SHALL APPLY WHETHER CLAIMS ARISE UNDER STATUTE, REGULATION, OR THE LAW OF TORT,
CONTRACT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND EVEN IF THE EVM FAILS TO PERFORM AS DESCRIBED OR
EXPECTED.
