License, we grant to you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable,

herein, we retain all right, title and interest in our trademarks,
patents, copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property
rights.

2.  Term. The Software is licensed to you on either a subscription or
perpetual basis in accordance with the terms of this Section 2 and
Section 11 below ("Term"):

(a)  NGINX Software Term. Unless otherwise set forth in an agreement
between us and you, NGINX Software is licensed to you for the
subscription term set forth in the applicable quote

this License. In the event of a conflict between this License and the
Program Terms, the Program Terms will control and govern with respect
to the applicable Software.

3.  Restrictions.

(a) 	Compliance with Sales Documentation. Your use of the Software
must comply with this License, applicable Documentation, quote, and
license file for such Software (collectively, "Sales Documentation"),
including, but not limited to, any restrictions on the number of
protected applications, number or type of licensed devices, number
of authorized copies or instances, number of users, bandwidth,
non-production use, database, or location restrictions. We, or an
authorized third party on our behalf, reserve the right to audit
your use of the Software and to disable any use not in compliance with
the Sales Documentation, in addition to any other rights and remedies
available to us.

(b) 	Versions. Your use of the Software under this License may be
limited to certain versions, as set forth in the applicable Sales
Documentation (for example, a "version plus" license may be limited
to a certain number of major updates). To the extent your Sales
Documentation contains such limitations, your use of versions or
releases of the Software that are not contemplated in your Sales
Documentation is prohibited and shall be considered a material breach
of this License.

(c) 	Nontransferability. Unless otherwise set forth in the Sales
Documentation or in a separate agreement between you and us, you may
not transfer or attempt to transfer Software that you obtain as part of
Hardware to other Hardware, third-party hardware, or any virtualized
environment.

(d) 	Licensed Features. Software provided in stand-alone form (for
example, a virtual machine image) requires a valid license key or other
similar identifying token ("Token") issued to you by F5 or an F5
authorized reseller and you may only use the Software for the duration
of time the license key or Token permits. F5 may employ mechanisms in
the Software designed to ensure that you are only able to access the
Software and features that you have licensed.  Except for
Non-production and Evaluation Software, if your license key or Token
allows you to deploy or use Software or features prior to executing an
order for such Software or features, you agree to submit payment for
the use of such Software or features in accordance with your payment
terms with F5 or your F5 authorized reseller.

(e) 	Other Restrictions. Except as otherwise expressly permitted in
this License, you must not, and must not allow any parent, subsidiary,
affiliate, agent or third party to:

(1) 	copy (except to make one archival copy for backup and disaster
recovery purposes), modify or create derivative works of the Software
or Documentation;

(2) 	sell, sub-license, rent, service bureau, grant usage rights or
transfer the Software, any data incorporated into the Software ("Data")
or any associated Documentation to any unauthorized third party;

(3) 	disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer or otherwise derive or
attempt to derive the source code of the Software or any Data except as
required by law for interoperability purposes, and then only after you
have given us an opportunity to resolve such interoperability issue;

(4) defeat, circumvent or disable any reporting, copy protection or
other mechanism in the Software used to limit license duration or
access to non-licensed functionality or capacity.

(f) 	Software Specific Restrictions.

(1) Non-Production Use Software.  Software designated as
"non-production," "non-commercial," "lab" or "development" in the
applicable Sales Documentation ("Non-Production Software") may only
be used to conduct testing and development in your non-production
environment and may not manage or protect data traffic or applications
in the ordinary course of your business.

(2) Evaluation Software.  Software designated as "evaluation," "test,"
"trial" or similar in the applicable Sales Documentation ("Evaluation
Software") may only be used for your internal demonstration, test, or
evaluation purposes and not in a production environment.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY TERMS TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS LICENSE, WE DISCLAIM
ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, FOR NON-PRODUCTION AND EVALUATION
SOFTWARE AND IT IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS. Evaluation Software
has a non-perpetual time limited license that, depending on the
Software, will time-out and disable the Evaluation Software upon
expiration of the evaluation period. You will not use any Evaluation
Software beyond the prescribed license duration.

(3)  Software Hosted in a Public Cloud.  If you use the Software in a
public cloud environment, you may only use the Software in object code
form in the cloud provider's ("Cloud Provider") environment.  In
accordance with Section 3(e), you may not copy any portion of the
Software out of the Cloud Provider environment.  Each instance of the
Software running in the Cloud Provider's environment requires its own
license key when you are using a bring-your-own-license offering from
the Cloud Provider.  If you are using a utility offering (e.g., hourly)
from the Cloud Provider, you will purchase licenses or subscriptions
from the Cloud Provider's marketplace.  IN ADDITION TO THE DISCLAIMERS
SET FORTH IN SECTION 8(d) BELOW, AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY TERMS TO THE
CONTRARY IN THIS LICENSE OR ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF THE
APPLICABLE CLOUD OR SIMILAR ENVIRONMENT, SOFTWARE PROVIDED BY A CLOUD
PROVIDER AND NOT OBTAINED FROM F5 IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND POSSIBLY
WITH FAULTS.

is not "Software" as such term is defined herein. If applicable, the
ModSecurity Module will be provided by us with the applicable NGINX
Software, and is subject to the terms set forth at
http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 and not the terms of this
License.  We will have no liability with respect to the licensing and

U.S., you agree to comply with the local regulations regarding
importing, exporting or using cryptographic software. You agree
that you will not export or re-export the Product to any country,
person, or entity subject to U.S. export restrictions. Specifically,

7.   Notice to U.S. Government End Users.  The Software and
Documentation qualify as "commercial items," as that term is
defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation ("FAR") 48 C.F.R. 2.101
and consist of "commercial computer software" and "commercial
computer software documentation" as such terms are used in FAR 12.212.
Consistent with FAR 12.212 and DoD FAR Supp. 227.7202-1 through
227.7202-4, and notwithstanding any other FAR or other contrary
provision in any agreement into which this License may be incorporated,
you may provide to a government end user or, if this License is
granted directly to a government end user, you will acquire, the
Software and Documentation with only those rights set forth in this
License. Use of the Software and/or Documentation constitutes an
agreement by the government that the Software and Documentation are
"commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software

conforms to the Documentation. THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES DO NOT APPLY
TO, AND WE STRICTLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO, OPEN
SOURCE COMPONENTS.

issued thereafter.

(d)  Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES SPECIFICALLY DESCRIBED IN
SECTION 8(a) ABOVE, WE AND OUR LICENSORS DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL
WARRANTIES AND GUARANTEES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR OTHERWISE, ARISING WITH
RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE, PRODUCTS, DATA, SPECIFICATIONS, OR
DOCUMENTATION DELIVERED HEREUNDER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT OR TITLE AND
THE WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE SOFTWARE IS
PROVIDED "AS IS." WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE IS ERROR FREE,

(a) Infringement Defense. We will, at our expense, defend any suit
brought against you by an unaffiliated third party based upon a
claim that the Software infringes a valid patent, trademark or
copyright or misappropriates a third-party trade secret. The terms
"misappropriation" and "trade secret" are used as defined in the
Uniform Trade Secrets Act, except in case of claims arising under any
claim governed by the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United
States, in which case "misappropriation" will mean intentionally
unlawful use and "trade secret" will mean "undisclosed information"
as specified in Article 39.2 of the Trade-Related Aspects of
Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement. We will pay costs
and damages (including reasonable attorneys' fees) finally awarded
against you, or agreed in settlement by us, directly attributable
to any such claim and will bear all reasonable costs of the
