7 This Agreement is a Free Software license agreement that is the result | |
8 of discussions between its authors in order to ensure compliance with | |
9 the two main principles guiding its drafting: | |
10 | |
11 * firstly, compliance with the principles governing the distribution | |
12 of Free Software: access to source code, broad rights granted to | |
13 users, | |
14 * secondly, the election of a governing law, French law, with which | |
15 it is conformant, both as regards the law of torts and | |
16 intellectual property law, and the protection that it offers to | |
17 both authors and holders of the economic rights over software. | |
18 | |
19 The authors of the CeCILL (for Ce[a] C[nrs] I[nria] L[ogiciel] L[ibre]) | |

36 Preamble | |
37 | |
38 The purpose of this Free Software license agreement is to grant users | |
39 the right to modify and redistribute the software governed by this | |
40 license within the framework of an open source distribution model. | |
41 | |
42 The exercising of these rights is conditional upon certain obligations | |
43 for users so as to preserve this status for all subsequent redistributions. | |
44 | |
45 In consideration of access to the source code and the rights to copy, | |
46 modify and redistribute granted by the license, users are provided only | |
47 with a limited warranty and the software's author, the holder of the | |
48 economic rights, and the successive licensors only have limited liability. | |
49 | |
50 In this respect, the risks associated with loading, using, modifying | |
51 and/or developing or reproducing the software by the user are brought to | |
52 the user's attention, given its Free Software status, which may make it | |
53 complicated to use, with the result that its use is reserved for | |
54 developers and experienced professionals having in-depth computer | |
55 knowledge. Users are therefore encouraged to load and test the | |
56 suitability of the software as regards their requirements in conditions | |
57 enabling the security of their systems and/or data to be ensured and, | |
58 more generally, to use and operate it in the same conditions of | |
59 security. This Agreement may be freely reproduced and published, | |
60 provided it is not altered, and that no provisions are either added or | |
61 removed herefrom. | |
62 | |
63 This Agreement may apply to any or all software for which the holder of | |
64 the economic rights decides to submit the use thereof to its provisions. | |

335 Article 7 - RELATED SERVICES | |
336 | |
337 7.1 Under no circumstances shall the Agreement oblige the Licensor to | |
338 provide technical assistance or maintenance services for the Software. | |
339 | |
340 However, the Licensor is entitled to offer this type of services. The | |
341 terms and conditions of such technical assistance, and/or such | |
342 maintenance, shall be set forth in a separate instrument. Only the | |
343 Licensor offering said maintenance and/or technical assistance services | |

349 Software, under terms and conditions that it is free to decide. Said | |
350 warranty, and the financial terms and conditions of its application, | |
351 shall be subject of a separate instrument executed between the Licensor | |
352 and the Licensee. | |
353 | |
354 | |
355 Article 8 - LIABILITY | |
356 | |
357 8.1 Subject to the provisions of Article 8.2, the Licensee shall be | |

361 | |
362 8.2 The Licensor's liability is limited to the commitments made under | |
363 this Agreement and shall not be incurred as a result of in particular: | |

365 obligations, (ii) direct or consequential loss that is suffered by the | |
366 Licensee due to the use or performance of the Software, and (iii) more | |

369 loss of profits, operating loss, loss of customers or orders, | |
370 opportunity cost, any disturbance to business activities) or any or all | |
371 legal proceedings instituted against the Licensee by a third party, | |
372 shall constitute consequential loss and shall not provide entitlement to | |
373 any or all compensation from the Licensor. | |
374 | |
375 | |
376 Article 9 - WARRANTY | |
377 | |
378 9.1 The Licensee acknowledges that the scientific and technical | |
379 state-of-the-art when the Software was distributed did not enable all | |
380 possible uses to be tested and verified, nor for the presence of | |
381 possible defects to be detected. In this respect, the Licensee's | |
382 attention has been drawn to the risks associated with loading, using, | |
383 modifying and/or developing and reproducing the Software which are | |
384 reserved for experienced users. | |
385 | |
386 The Licensee shall be responsible for verifying, by any or all means, | |
387 the suitability of the product for its requirements, its good working | |
388 order, and for ensuring that it shall not cause damage to either persons | |
389 or properties. | |
390 | |
391 9.2 The Licensor hereby represents, in good faith, that it is entitled | |
392 to grant all the rights over the Software (including in particular the | |
393 rights set forth in Article 5). | |
394 | |
395 9.3 The Licensee acknowledges that the Software is supplied "as is" by | |
396 the Licensor without any other express or tacit warranty, other than | |
397 that provided for in Article 9.2 and, in particular, without any warranty | |
398 as to its commercial value, its secured, safe, innovative or relevant | |
399 nature. | |
400 | |
401 Specifically, the Licensor does not warrant that the Software is free | |
402 from any error, that it will operate without interruption, that it will | |
403 be compatible with the Licensee's own equipment and software | |
404 configuration, nor that it will meet the Licensee's requirements. | |
405 | |
406 9.4 The Licensor does not either expressly or tacitly warrant that the | |
407 Software does not infringe any third party intellectual property right | |
408 relating to a patent, software or any other property right. Therefore, | |
409 the Licensor disclaims any and all liability towards the Licensee | |
410 arising out of any or all proceedings for infringement that may be | |
411 instituted in respect of the use, modification and redistribution of the | |
412 Software. Nevertheless, should such proceedings be instituted against | |
413 the Licensee, the Licensor shall provide it with technical and legal | |
414 assistance for its defense. Such technical and legal assistance shall be | |
415 decided on a case-by-case basis between the relevant Licensor and the | |
416 Licensee pursuant to a memorandum of understanding. The Licensor | |
417 disclaims any and all liability as regards the Licensee's use of the | |
418 name of the Software. No warranty is given as regards the existence of | |
419 prior rights over the name of the Software or as regards the existence | |
420 of a trademark. | |
421 | |
422 | |
423 Article 10 - TERMINATION | |
424 | |
425 10.1 In the event of a breach by the Licensee of its obligations | |
426 hereunder, the Licensor may automatically terminate this Agreement | |
427 thirty (30) days after notice has been sent to the Licensee and has | |
428 remained ineffective. | |
429 | |
430 10.2 A Licensee whose Agreement is terminated shall no longer be | |
431 authorized to use, modify or distribute the Software. However, any | |
432 licenses that it may have granted prior to termination of the Agreement | |
433 shall remain valid subject to their having been granted in compliance | |
434 with the terms and conditions hereof. | |
435 | |

440 11.1 EXCUSABLE EVENTS | |

449 | |
450 11.2 Any failure by either Party, on one or more occasions, to invoke | |
451 one or more of the provisions hereof, shall under no circumstances be | |
452 interpreted as being a waiver by the interested Party of its right to | |
453 invoke said provision(s) subsequently. | |
454 | |
455 11.3 The Agreement cancels and replaces any or all previous agreements, | |
456 whether written or oral, between the Parties and having the same | |
457 purpose, and constitutes the entirety of the agreement between said | |
458 Parties concerning said purpose. No supplement or modification to the | |
459 terms and conditions hereof shall be effective as between the Parties | |
460 unless it is made in writing and signed by their duly authorized | |
461 representatives. | |
462 | |
463 11.4 In the event that one or more of the provisions hereof were to | |
464 conflict with a current or future applicable act or legislative text, | |
465 said act or legislative text shall prevail, and the Parties shall make | |
466 the necessary amendments so as to comply with said act or legislative | |
467 text. All other provisions shall remain effective. Similarly, invalidity | |
468 of a provision of the Agreement, for any reason whatsoever, shall not | |
469 cause the Agreement as a whole to be invalid. | |
