end users as part of the application package. The programs must be
embedded with your application program and distributed with your
application program and cannot be provided separately. Prior to
distributing programs, you must obtain an order from the end user
for the programs, which order and programs shall be subject to a
valid end user license agreement. Each distributed embedded program
must be used only for the internal business operations of the end
user and must be used only in conjunction with the application
package. Each distributed embedded program shall be subject to the
terms of this agreement and the terms provided in the end user
license agreement. You may distribute the application package to

be considered an end user under this agreement provided that
(1) the total fees paid to Oracle for such distribution do not
exceed 20% of the total fees paid to Oracle under this agreement,
(2) you comply with the requirements of
Section G

(License
Agreement), and (3) you report such distribution in accordance
with Section F (Reporting). You may not distribute the
programs, learning credits, and/or services to end users that are
public sector entities. Oracle shall inform you of any notices and
other instructions that are related to third party software
components (including open source software) that are included in a
program and that Oracle is required to distribute with such
programs. These notices shall be provided to you in at least one of
the following ways, at Oracle’s sole discretion: (a)
automatically installed with the programs; (b) in the program
documentation; or (c) via a supplemental list. You shall
comply with all other instructions related to third party software
components (including open source software) and you shall reproduce
all third party notices in an appropriate location in the
application package and/or in its related documentation, as
required by the applicable notices or as otherwise directed by
Oracle. You must provide the following legend on the sign on screen
of the application package, or if the application package is a
physical device, you must provide the legend on the label for the
media containing the programs and your application program:
“The programs included herein are subject to a restricted use
license and can only be used in conjunction with this
application.”
Oracle may
request that you acquire any third party, royalty-free license
offered generally to the public that Oracle, in its reasonable
discretion, determines may be necessary to avoid a claim of
infringement for distribution of any program or other Oracle
software either by Oracle or by you under the terms of this
agreement. In the event you fail to acquire such license, Oracle
may terminate this agreement with respect to the relevant
program(s) and/or other software on ***** written notice, and
whether or not this agreement is terminated, Oracle shall have no
obligation to indemnify you under Section J (Indemnification)
for any claim of infringement that would have been avoided by the
acquisition of such license.
Oracle
grants you a nonexclusive right for you and your distributors to
distribute trial licenses of the application package to no more
than ***** end users, at any one time, for the end users’ own
internal evaluation purposes (and not for development, prototype,
training or technical support purposes) pursuant to section G,
License Agreement, below. Trial licenses shall be for ***** days
and shall be subject to the terms of this agreement and the terms
provided in the order. If your end users want to use a trial
license for more than ***** days, then they must obtain an
appropriate license and pay the appropriate fees. You must pay
Oracle a fee for any trial licenses that you distribute that extend
for more than ***** days. Programs licensed for trial purposes are
provided “as is” and Oracle does not provide technical
support or any warranties for these programs.
You may
appoint distributors to distribute the programs embedded with your
application package as provided under the terms of this agreement.
Distributors have no right to make copies of the programs and shall
obtain all programs from you. Each distributor must be subject to a
legally binding written agreement between you and the distributor
that (a) grant the rights for the distributor to distribute
the application package to end users, (b) contains or
incorporates provisions which are equivalent to the terms of this
agreement, and (c) permits you to audit your
distributors’ activities under such agreement and report such
activities to Oracle or assign your right to audit the
distributors’ activities to Oracle. In addition, the
agreement with your distributors shall require the distributors to
distribute the application package subject to terms that are
consistent with the terms of this agreement. Any distribution of
the application package by your distributors shall be subject to an
end user license agreement between you and the end user as set
forth in Section G (License Agreement) of this agreement. You
shall keep executed distributor agreements for Oracle to inspect
upon request. You shall defend and indemnify Oracle from all claims
and for all damages arising out of the activities of your
distributors.
E.
Ownership and Restrictions
Oracle or
its licensors retain all ownership and intellectual property rights
to the programs. Oracle retains all ownership and intellectual
property rights to anything developed by Oracle and delivered to
you resulting from the services. Each end user may make a
sufficient number of copies of each program for the licensed use
and one copy of each program media.
Third party
technology may be necessary for use with some Oracle programs and
is specified in the program documentation; specific files (which
are identified in the program documentation) of such third party
technology (collectively the “Open Source Technology”)
may be included on the same medium or as part of the download of
Oracle programs you receive, but is licensed under the Mozilla
Public License, Common Public License, GNU Lesser General Public
License, Netscape Public License or similar royalty-free/open
source license (collectively, the “Open Source
Licenses”).
This
agreement does not modify or abridge any rights or obligations you
may have in Open Source Technology under applicable Open Source
Licenses; however, to the extent that Open Source Technology is
incorporated into an Oracle program, your rights and remedies under
this agreement with respect to such Open Source Technology (i.e.
indemnification) shall apply, but only for your use of the Oracle
program that is in compliance with the terms of this agreement and
with the terms of any relevant Open Source License. Any use of Open
Source Technology outside of your licensed use of applicable Oracle
programs is subject to the rights and obligations under such third
party technology’s Open Source License. Open Source
Technology programs that are separate from Oracle programs are
provided as a courtesy to you and are licensed

a minimum:
|
|
(1)
|
|
Limit the use of the programs that
are subject to the end user license agreement to the legal entity
that executed the end user license agreement.

contractors (including, without limitation, outsourcers) to use the
application package on the applicable end user’s behalf for
the purposes set forth in the end user license agreement, subject
to the terms of such agreement, provided that such end users are
responsible for the agent’s, contractor’s and
outsourcer’s compliance with the end user license agreement
in such use. For an application package that includes programs that
are specifically designed to allow the end user’s customers
and suppliers to interact with the end user in the furtherance of
the end user’s internal business operations, such use may be
allowed under the end user license agreement.

physical device and (b) the end user from assigning, giving,
or transferring the programs and/or any services ordered or an
interest in them to another individual or entity (in the event the
end user grants a security interest in the programs and/or any
services, the secured party has no right to use or transfer the
programs and/or any services).
