Subject to the terms of this Agreement, The Qt Company grants to Licensee a
worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable license, valid for the License
Term, to use, modify and copy the Licensed Software by Designated Users on the
Development Platforms for the sole purposes of designing, developing,
demonstrating and testing Application(s) and/or Devices, and to provide
thereto related support and other related services to end-user Customers.
Licensee may install copies of the Licensed Software on five (5) computers per
Designated User, provided that only the Designated Users who have a valid
Development License may use the Licensed Software.
Licensee may at any time designate another Designated User to replace a
then-current Designated User by notifying The Qt Company in writing, provided
that any Designated User may be replaced only once during any six-month period.
Upon expiry of the initially agreed License Term, the respective License Terms
shall be automatically extended to one or more Renewal Term(s), unless and
until either Party notifies the other Party in writing that it does not wish
to continue the License Term, such notification to be provided to the other
Party no less than ninety (90) days before expiry of the respective License
Term. Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, Renewal Term shall be of
equal length with the initial License Term.
Any such Renewal Term shall be subject to License Fees agreed between the
Parties or, if no advance agreement exists, subject to The Qt Company's
standard pricing applicable at the commencement date of any such Renewal Term.
Any price or other term specified for a Renewal Term shall be valid only for
the specified time.
The Qt Company may request the Licensee to place a purchase order corresponding
to a quote by The Qt Company for the relevant Renewal Term.
In the event Licensee does not prevent auto-renewal pursuant the above, but a
Renewal Term is nevertheless not duly ordered within 30 days from the date of
the respective quote from The Qt Company and/or the respective License Fee
paid by due date specified in The Qt Company's respective invoice, The Qt
Company shall apply a reinstatement fee equal to ten percent (10 %) of the
total value of the License Fees of the Development Licenses for the expired
term to be added to the License Fee of the respective Renewal Term.
In the event Licensee chooses not to renew a Development License for a Renewal
Term by notifying The Qt Company thereof no less than ninety (90) days before
expiry of the respective License Term, Licensee may still reinstate such
expired Development Licenses for a Renewal Term subject to applicable renewal
Term License Fees until thirty (30) days from the expiry of the initially
agreed License Term or preceding Renewal Term. After such thirty (30) day
period a Development License shall be subject to applicable License Fees for a
new Development License and not any Renewal Term License Fees.
3.2. Distribution of Applications
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, The Qt Company grants to Licensee a
worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable (for cause pursuant to
this Agreement) right and license, valid for the Term, to

as installed, incorporated or integrated into Applications for
execution on the Deployment Platforms, and
(ii) grant sublicenses to Redistributables, as distributed hereunder,
for Customers solely for Customer's internal use and to the extent
necessary in order for the Customers to use the Applications for
their respective intended purposes.

intended to be installed, incorporated or integrated into Devices
for execution on the Deployment Platforms, and
(ii) grant sublicenses to Redistributables, as distributed hereunder,
for Customers solely for Customer's internal use and to the extent
necessary in order for the Customers to use the Devices for their
respective intended purposes.
Right to distribute the Redistributables with Devices as provided herein is

conditional and subject to Licensee's compliance with the following terms:
(i) Licensee shall not remove or alter any copyright, trademark or
other proprietary rights notice(s) contained in any portion of the
Licensed Software;
(ii) Applications must add primary and substantial functionality to the
Licensed Software so as not to compete with the Licensed Software;
(iii) Applications may not pass on functionality which in any way makes
it possible for others to create software with the Licensed
Software; provided however that Licensee may use the Licensed
Software's scripting and QML ("Qt Quick") functionality solely in
order to enable scripting, themes and styles that augment the
functionality and appearance of the Application(s) without adding
primary and substantial functionality to the Application(s);
(iv) Licensee shall not use Licensed Software in any manner or for any
purpose that infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates any
Intellectual property or right of any third party, or that
violates any applicable law;

names, logos, or trademarks to market Applications, except that
Licensee may use "Built with Qt" logo to indicate that
Application(s) was developed using the Licensed Software;
(vi) Licensee shall not distribute, sublicense or disclose source code
of Licensed Software to any third party (provided however that
Licensee may appoint employee(s) of Contractors as Designated
Users to use Licensed Software pursuant to this Agreement). Such
right may be available for the Licensee subject to a separate
software development kit ("SDK") license agreement to be concluded
with The Qt Company;
(vii) Licensee shall not grant the Customers a right to (i) make copies
of the Redistributables except when and to the extent required to

(ii) modify the Redistributables or create derivative works
thereof, (iii) decompile, disassemble or otherwise reverse
engineer Redistributables, or (iv) redistribute any copy or
portion of the Redistributables to any third party, except as part
of the onward sale of the Device on which the Redistributables are
installed;
(viii) Licensee shall not and shall cause that its Affiliates or
Contractors shall not use Licensed Software in any Prohibited
Combination, unless Licensee has received an advance written
permission from The Qt Company to do so. Absent such written
permission, any and all distribution by the Licensee during the
Term of a hardware device or product a) which incorporate or
integrate any part of Licensed Software or Open Source Qt; or b)
where the main user interface or substantial functionality is
provided by software built with Licensed Software or Open Source
Qt or otherwise depends on the Licensed Software or Open Source
Qt, shall be considered to be Device distribution under this
Agreement and shall be dependent on Licensee's compliance thereof
(including but not limited to obligation to pay applicable License
Fees for such distribution). Notwithstanding what is provided
above in this sub-section (viii), Licensee is entitled to use and
combine Qt 3D Studio and/or Qt Design Studio with Open Source Qt
("Permitted Combination") for its internal evaluation purposes,
provided that Licensee shall in no way transfer, publish, disclose,
display or otherwise make available any software or work resulting
from such Permitted Combination;
(ix) Licensee shall cause all of its Affiliates and Contractors
entitled to make use of the licenses granted under this Agreement,
to be contractually bound to comply with the relevant terms of
this Agreement and not to use the Licensed Software beyond the
terms hereof and for any purposes other than operating within the
scope of their services for Licensee. Licensee shall be responsible
for any and all actions and omissions of its Affiliates and
Contractors relating to the Licensed Software and use thereof
(including but not limited to payment of all applicable License
Fees);
(x) Except when and to the extent explicitly provided in this Section
3, Licensee shall not transfer, publish, disclose, display or
otherwise make available the Licensed Software; and
(xi) Licensee shall not attempt or enlist a third party to conduct or
attempt to conduct any of the above.
Above terms shall not be applicable if and to the extent they conflict with
any mandatory provisions of any applicable laws.
Any use of Licensed Software beyond the provisions of this Agreement is
strictly prohibited and requires an additional license from The Qt Company.
4. THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE
The Licensed Software may provide links to third party libraries or code
(collectively "Third-Party Software") to implement various functions.
Third-Party Software does not comprise part of the Licensed Software. In some
cases, access to Third-Party Software may be included with the Licensed
Software. Such Third-Party Software will be listed in the ".../src/3rdparty"
source tree delivered with the Licensed Software or documented in the Licensed
Software, as such may be amended from time to time. Licensee acknowledges that
use or distribution of Third-Party Software is in all respects subject to
applicable license terms of applicable third-party right holders.
5. PRE-RELEASE CODE
The Licensed Software may contain pre-release code and functionality, or sample
code marked or otherwise stated with appropriate designation such as
"Technology Preview", "Alpha", "Beta", "Sample" etc. ("Pre-Release Code").
Such Pre-Release Code may be present complimentary for the Licensee, in order
to provide experimental support or information for new platforms or preliminary
versions of one or more new functionalities or for other similar reasons. The
Pre-Release Code may not be at the level of performance and compatibility of a
final, generally available, product offering. The Pre-Release Code may not
operate correctly, may contain errors and may be substantially modified by The
Qt Company prior to the first commercial product release, if any. The Qt
Company is under no obligation to make Pre-Release Code commercially available,
or provide any Support or Updates relating thereto. The Qt Company assumes no
liability whatsoever regarding any Pre-Release Code, but any use thereof is
exclusively at Licensee's own risk and expense.
For clarity, unless Licensed Software specifies different license terms for the
respective Pre-Release Code, the Licensee is entitled to use such pre-release
code pursuant to Section 3, just like other Licensed Software, provided however
that in the event Add-on Products are included and available as such
Pre-Release Code, Licensee's right to use such Add-on Products is nevertheless
subject to and conditional upon conclusion of separate agreement with The Qt
Company.
6. LIMITED WARRANTY AND WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
The Qt Company hereby represents and warrants that it has the power and
authority to grant the rights and licenses granted to Licensee under this
Agreement.
Except as set forth above, the Licensed Software is licensed to Licensee
"as is" and Licensee's exclusive remedy and The Qt Company's entire liability
for errors in the Licensed Software shall be limited, at The Qt Company's
option, to correction of the error, replacement of the Licensed Software or
return of the applicable fees paid for the defective Licensed Software for the
time period during which the License is not able to utilize the Licensed
Software under the terms of this Agreement.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE QT COMPANY ON BEHALF OF
ITSELF AND ITS LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS AND AFFILIATES, DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT WITH REGARD TO THE LICENSED SOFTWARE. THE QT COMPANY DOES NOT
WARRANT THAT THE LICENSED SOFTWARE WILL SATISFY LICENSEE'S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT
IT WILL OPERATE WITHOUT DEFECT OR ERROR OR THAT THE OPERATION THEREOF WILL BE
UNINTERRUPTED.
7. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
7.1. Limitation of Liability
EXCEPT FOR (I) CASES OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT, AND (II)
BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY, AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO
EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFIT,
LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR GOODWILL OR ANY OTHER INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE COST, DAMAGES OR EXPENSE OF ANY KIND,
HOWSOEVER ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
EXCEPT FOR (I) CASES OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT, AND (II)
BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY, AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO
EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
EXCEED THE AGGREGATE LICENSE FEES PAID OR PAYABLE TO THE QT COMPANY FROM
LICENSEE DURING THE PERIOD OF TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE
EVENT RESULTING IN SUCH LIABILITY.
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 7 ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE QT COMPANY AND LICENSEE AND THE PARTIES HAVE RELIED UPON THE
LIMITATIONS SET FORTH HEREIN IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, LICENSEE SHALL
ALWAYS BE LIABLE TO PAY THE APPLICABLE LICENSE FEES CORRESPONDING TO ITS ACTUAL
USE OF LICENSED SOFTWARE.
8. SUPPORT, UPDATES AND ONLINE SERVICES
Upon due payment of the agreed License Fees the Licensee will be eligible to
receive Support and Updates and to use the Online Services during the License
Term, provided, however, that in the event the License Term is longer than 36
months, the initial payment includes Support for only the first 12 months,
unless the Parties specifically otherwise agree.
Unless otherwise decided by The Company at its free and absolute discretion,
Upgrades will not be included in the Support but may be available subject to
additional fees.
From time to time The Qt Company may change the Support terms, provided that
during the respective ongoing License Term the level of Support provided by The
Qt Company may not be reduced without the consent of the Licensee.
Unless otherwise agreed, The Qt Company shall not be responsible for providing
any service or support to Customers.
9. CONFIDENTIALITY
Each Party acknowledges that during the Term of this Agreement each Party may
receive information about the other Party's business, business methods,
business plans, customers, business relations, technology, and other
information, including the terms of this Agreement, that is confidential and of
great value to the other Party, and the value of which would be significantly
reduced if disclosed to third parties ("Confidential Information").
Accordingly, when a Party (the "Receiving Party") receives Confidential
Information from the other Party (the "Disclosing Party"), the Receiving Party
shall only disclose such information to employees and Contractors on a need to
know basis, and shall cause its employees and employees of its Affiliates to:
(i) maintain any and all Confidential Information in confidence; (ii) not
disclose the Confidential Information to a third party without the Disclosing
Party's prior written approval; and (iii) not, directly or indirectly, use the
Confidential Information for any purpose other than for exercising its rights
and fulfilling its responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party
shall take reasonable measures to protect the Confidential Information of the
other Party, which measures shall not be less than the measures taken by such
Party to protect its own confidential and proprietary information.
Obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to information that (i) is or
becomes generally known to the public through no act or omission of the
Receiving Party; (ii) was in the Receiving Party's lawful possession prior to
the disclosure hereunder and was not subject to limitations on disclosure or
use; (iii) is developed independently by employees or Contractors of the
Receiving Party or other persons working for the Receiving Party who have not
had access to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, as proven
by the written records of the Receiving Party; (iv) is lawfully disclosed to
the Receiving Party without restrictions, by a third party not under an
obligation of confidentiality; or (v) the Receiving Party is legally compelled
to disclose, in which case the Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing
Party of such compelled disclosure and assert the privileged and confidential
nature of the information and cooperate fully with the Disclosing Party to
limit the scope of disclosure and the dissemination of disclosed Confidential
Information to the minimum extent necessary.
The obligations under this Section 9 shall continue to remain in force for a
period of five (5) years after the last disclosure, and, with respect to trade
secrets, for so long as such trade secrets are protected under applicable trade
secret laws.

Company all copies of the Licensed Software and all related materials and will
certify the same to The Qt Company upon its request, provided however that
Licensee may retain and exploit such copies of the Licensed Software as it may
reasonably require in providing continued support to Customers.
Expiry or termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever shall not
relieve Licensee of its obligation to pay any License Fees accrued or payable
to The Qt Company prior to the effective date of termination, and Licensee

rights, benefits and obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
consent of The Qt Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
The Qt Company shall be entitled to freely assign or transfer any of its
rights, benefits or obligations under this Agreement.
14.2. No Third-Party Representations
Licensee shall make no representations or warranties concerning the Licensed
Software on behalf of The Qt Company. Any representation or warranty Licensee
makes or purports to make on The Qt Company's behalf shall be void as to The

14.4. Entire Agreement
This Agreement, the exhibits hereto, the License Certificate and any applicable
Purchase Order accepted by The Qt Company constitute the complete agreement
between the Parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous discussions,
representations, and proposals, written or oral, with respect to the subject
matters discussed herein.
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any
Purchase Order, the terms of this Agreement will prevail over the terms of the
Purchase Order with respect to such conflict or inconsistency.

including Deviating Terms shall not constitute acceptance of such Deviating
Terms."
14.6. Force Majeure
Except for the payment obligations hereunder, neither Party shall be liable to
the other for any delay or non-performance of its obligations hereunder in the
event and to the extent that such delay or non-performance is due to an event

event that prevents either Party for fulfilling its obligations under this
Agreement and which such Party cannot avoid or circumvent ("Force Majeure
Event"). If the Force Majeure Event results in a delay or non-performance of a

the right to terminate this Agreement with immediate effect without any
liability (except for the obligations of payment arising prior to the event of

deemed received if specifically acknowledged by the receiving Party in writing
or when successfully delivered to the recipient by hand, fax, or special
courier during normal business hours on a business day to the addresses
specified for each Party on the signature page. Each communication and document
made or delivered by one Party to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement
shall be in the English language.
14.8. Export Control
Licensee acknowledges that the Redistributables, as incorporated in

all applicable export license restrictions and requirements as well as with all

and practices, which will comply with all applicable requirements of the Data
Protection Legislation.
14.12. Severability

Agreement.
APPENDIX 4: SMALL BUSINESS AND STARTUP
The provisions of this Appendix 4 are applicable for Start-up Companies and for
the Evaluation Term.For the purpose of this Appendix 4, the following
additional definitions shall be applicable:
"Trial Term" shall mean a period of twelve (12) months.
"Start-up Company" means a company with a maximum annual revenue, including
funding, equivalent to 100,000 USD (in applicable currency) during a respective
calendar year, as evidenced by duly audited records of the Licensee and
approved by The Qt Company.
During the Trial Term, Section 3 shall apply with following modifications
("Trial Term Modifications"):
(i) Licenses granted under Sections 3.1 and 3.2 shall be free of any
charge. For clarity, License for distribution of Devices pursuant
to Section 3.3 is subject to applicable License Fee for necessary
Distribution Licenses;
(ii) Development License under Section 3.1 is limited to a maximum of
three (3) Designated Users; and
(iii) Support is available subject to availability, as judged by The Qt
Company at its free and absolute discretion, provided that support
will be limited to a maximum of ten (10) tickets during the Trial
Term.
Upon expiry of the Trial Term:
(a) This Appendix 4 is terminated, Trial Term Modifications cease to
remain in force, Licensee's Development Licenses shall be
automatically converted into licenses subject to a License Fee (in
the amount specified in the quote or in Appendix 2 and payable with
a 30-day payment term) and Licensee's rights and obligations under
this Agreement shall continue to remain in force under the standard
provisions of the Agreement, unless the Licensee notifies The Qt
Company in writing no less than ninety (90) days before such expiry
date that Licensee does not agree to such continuance, in which
event the Agreement, and all rights of the Licensee thereunder,
shall expire; provided however that
(b) in the event the Licensee still qualifies as a Start-up Company,
the Licensee has an option ("Option"), instead of what is stated in
item a) above, to renew the Trial Term. Renewal is limited to one
time, and the total duration of Trial Term is thus 24 months after
the effective date. Licensee shall notify The Qt Company in
writing, no less than ninety (90) days before the expiry date, if
Licensee wish to exercise the Option.
APPENDIX 5: NON-COMMERCIAL USE
The provisions of this Appendix 5 are applicable for non-commercial use of the
Licensed Software by the Licensee.
For the purpose of this Appendix 5, the following additional definitions
(replacing the relevant definition of the Agreement, where applicable) shall be
applicable:
"Demo Units" shall mean (i) hardware development platform, which incorporates
the Licensed Software along with Licensee's software and/or hardware, and (ii)
prototype versions of Applications or Devices.
"Designated User(s)" shall mean the employees and students of the Licensee.
"Licensee Products" shall mean Applications and/or Devices.
"Permitted Purpose" shall mean (i) Licensee's internal evaluation and testing
of Licensed Software, (ii) building Demo Units as well as (iii) educational
use.
"Term" shall mean a period of twelve (12) months or any such other period as
may be agreed between the Parties.
For the purpose of this Appendix 5, the following changes shall be agreed with
respect to relevant Sections of the Agreement:
I. Recital (A) shall be replaced in its entirety to read as follows:
"(A) Licensee wishes to use the Licensed Software for the Permitted
Purpose."
II. Section 3.1 shall be replaced in its entirety to read as follows:
"The Qt Company grants to Licensee a personal, non-exclusive,
non-transferable, revocable, royalty-free license, valid for the
Term, to use, modify and copy the Licensed Software solely for the
Permitted Purpose.
Licensee may install copies of the Licensed Software on an
unlimited number of computers provided that only Designated Users
may use the Licensed Software.
Licensee may demonstrate the Demo Units, provided that such
demonstrations must be conducted by Licensee, and the Demo Units
must remain in Licensee's possession and under Licensee's control
at all times.
For clarity, this Agreement does not (i) entitle Licensee to use
Licensed Software to create Applications or Devices (other than
prototypes thereof) or (ii) carry any distribution rights to
Licensee, but such rights are subject to and conditional upon
conclusion of a separate license agreement with The Qt Company."
III. Sections 3.2, 3.3, 8 and 10 shall be deleted.
IV. Section 3.4 shall be replaced in its entirety to read as follows:
"Licensee shall not:
- remove or alter any copyright, trademark or other proprietary
rights notice contained in any portion of the Licensed
Software;
- transfer, publish, sublicense, disclose, display or otherwise
make the Licensed Software available to any third party
(except that Licensee may demonstrate the Demo Units pursuant
to Section 3.1);
- in any way combine, incorporate or integrate Licensed
Software with, or use Licensed Software for creation of, any
software created with or incorporating Open Source Qt;
Licensee shall cause all Designated Users who make use of the
licenses granted under this Agreement, to be contractually bound to
comply with the relevant terms of this Agreement and not to use the
Licensed Software beyond the terms hereof. Licensee shall be
responsible for any and all actions and omissions of its Designated
Users relating to the Licensed Software and use thereof.
Any use of Licensed Software beyond the provisions of this
Agreement is strictly prohibited and requires an additional license
from The Qt Company."
V. Section 12 shall be replaced in its entirety to read as follows:
"This Agreement shall enter into force upon due acceptance by both
Parties and remain in force for the Term, unless and until
terminated pursuant to the terms of Section 12.
Upon termination of the Agreement, Licensee shall cease using the
Licensed Software. All other copies of Licensed Software in the
possession or control of Licensee must be erased or destroyed. An
officer of Licensee must, upon request, promptly deliver to The Qt
Company a written confirmation that this has occurred."
Except for the modifications specified above, this Appendix carries no change
to the terms of the Agreement which shall remain in full force.
