NVIDIA DEEP LEARNING CONTAINER LICENSE

This license is a legal agreement between you and NVIDIA Corporation ("NVIDIA") and governs the use
of the NVIDIA container and all its contents (“CONTAINER”).

This license can be accepted only by an adult of legal age of majority in the country in which the
CONTAINER is used. If you are under the legal age of majority, you must ask your parent or legal
guardian to consent to this license. If you are entering this license on behalf of a company or
other legal entity, you represent that you have legal authority and “you” will mean the entity you
represent.

By using the CONTAINER, you affirm that you have reached the legal age of majority, you accept the
terms of this license, and you take legal and financial responsibility for the actions of your
permitted users.

You agree to use the CONTAINER only for purposes that are permitted by (a) this license, and (b) any
applicable law, regulation or generally accepted practices or guidelines in the relevant
jurisdictions.

1. LICENSE. Subject to the terms of this license, NVIDIA hereby grants you a non-exclusive,
non-transferable license, without the right to sublicense (except as expressly provided in this
license) to:

a. Install and use copies of the CONTAINER, and modify and create derivative works of samples or
example source code delivered in the CONTAINER (if applicable), to develop and test services and
applications,

b. Deploy the CONTAINER on infrastructure you own or lease to offer a service to third parties,
without distributing the CONTAINER or exposing the NVIDIA APIs in the CONTAINER directly to such
service users, and

c. Develop and extend the CONTAINER to create a Compatible (as defined below) derived CONTAINER that
includes the entire CONTAINER plus other software with primary functionality, to develop and compile
applications, and distribute such derived CONTAINER to run applications, subject to the distribution
requirements indicated in this license. As used in this section, “Compatible” means that extensions
to the CONTAINER must not adversely affect the functionality of the other components in the
CONTAINER.

2. DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS. For purposes of this Section 2, the term “distribution” also means the
deployment of CONTAINERS in a service or an application for third parties to access over the
internet. These are the distribution requirements for you to exercise the grants above:

a. A service or an application must have material additional functionality, beyond the included
portions of the CONTAINER.

b. The following notice shall be included in modifications and derivative works of source code
distributed: “This software contains source code provided by NVIDIA Corporation.”

c. You agree to distribute the CONTAINER subject to the terms at least as protective as the terms of
this license, including (without limitation) terms relating to the license grant, license
restrictions and protection of NVIDIA’s intellectual property rights. Additionally, you agree that
you will protect the privacy, security and legal rights of your application users.

d. You agree to notify NVIDIA in writing of any known or suspected distribution or use of the
CONTAINER not in compliance with the requirements of this license, and to enforce the terms of your
agreements with respect to the distributed CONTAINER.

3. AUTHORIZED USERS. You may allow employees and contractors of your entity or of your
subsidiary(ies) to access and use the CONTAINER from your secure network to perform work on your
behalf. If you are an academic institution you may allow users enrolled or employed by the academic
institution to access and use the CONTAINER from your secure network. You are responsible for the
compliance with the terms of this license by your authorized users. 
 
4. LIMITATIONS. Your license to use the CONTAINER is restricted as follows:

a. The CONTAINER may run on any computing system with or without NVIDIA GPUs, except for the
NVIDIA proprietary software (such as CUDA and TensorRT software) in the CONTAINER which is
licensed only to run on systems with NVIDIA GPUs. The NVIDIA proprietary software in the CONTAINER
may be present on systems without NVIDIA GPUs, as long as it is not running on such systems.
For components governed by open source software licenses, see the information in the “Components Under
Other Licenses” section below.

b. You may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble, or remove copyright or other proprietary
notices from any portion of the CONTAINER or copies of the CONTAINER.

c. Except as expressly provided in this license, you may not copy, sell, rent, sublicense, transfer,
distribute, modify, or create derivative works of any portion of the CONTAINER. For clarity, you may
not distribute or sublicense the CONTAINER as a stand-alone product.

d. Unless you have an agreement with NVIDIA for this purpose, you may not indicate that a service or
an application created with the CONTAINER is sponsored or endorsed by NVIDIA.

e. You may not bypass, disable, or circumvent any technical limitation, encryption, security,
digital rights management or authentication mechanism in the CONTAINER.

f. You may not replace any NVIDIA software components in the CONTAINER that are governed by this
license with other software that implements NVIDIA APIs.

g. You may not use the CONTAINER in any manner that would cause it to become subject to an open
source software license. As examples, licenses that require as a condition of use, modification,
and/or distribution that the CONTAINER be: (i) disclosed or distributed in source code form; (ii)
licensed for the purpose of making derivative works; or (iii) redistributable at no charge.

h. You acknowledge that the CONTAINER as delivered is not tested or certified by NVIDIA for
use in connection with the design, construction, maintenance, and/or operation of any system where
the use or failure of such system could result in a situation that threatens the safety of
human life or results in catastrophic damages (each, a “Critical Application”).
 Examples of
Critical Applications include use in avionics, navigation, autonomous vehicle applications,
ai solutions for automotive products, military, medical, life support or other life critical applications.
NVIDIA shall not be liable to you or any third party, in whole or in part, for any claims or
damages arising from such uses.
 You are solely responsible for ensuring that any product or service developed with the CONTAINER
as a whole includes sufficient features to comply with all applicable legal and regulatory standards
and requirements.

i. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless NVIDIA and its affiliates, and their respective
employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims,
damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, fines, restitutions and expenses
(including but not limited to attorney’s fees and costs incident to establishing the right of
indemnification) arising out of or related to products or services that use the CONTAINER in
or for Critical Applications, and for use of the CONTAINER outside of the scope of this
license or not in compliance with its terms.

j. You may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any portion of the output generated
using the NVIDIA proprietary software (such as CUDA and TensorRT software) in the CONTAINER
for the purpose of translating such output artifacts to target a non-NVIDIA platform.

5. UPDATES. NVIDIA may, at its option, make available patches, workarounds or other updates to this
CONTAINER. Unless the updates are provided with their separate governing terms, they are deemed part
of the CONTAINER licensed to you as provided in this license. You agree that the form and content of
the CONTAINER that NVIDIA provides may change without prior notice to you. While NVIDIA generally
maintains compatibility between versions, NVIDIA may in some cases make changes that introduce
incompatibilities in future versions of the CONTAINER.
 
6. PRE-RELEASE VERSIONS. CONTAINER versions identified as alpha, beta, preview, early access or
otherwise as pre-release may not be fully functional, may contain errors or design flaws, and may
have reduced or different security, privacy, availability, and reliability standards relative to
commercial versions of NVIDIA software and materials. You may use a pre-release CONTAINER version at
your own risk, understanding that these versions are not intended for use in production or
business-critical systems. NVIDIA may choose not to make available a commercial version of any
pre-release CONTAINER. NVIDIA may also choose to abandon development and terminate the availability
of a pre-release CONTAINER at any time without liability.
 
7. COMPONENTS UNDER OTHER LICENSES. The CONTAINER may include NVIDIA or third-party components
with separate legal notices or terms as may be described in proprietary notices accompanying
the CONTAINER. If and to the extent there is a conflict between the terms in this license and
the license terms associated with the component, the license terms associated with the components
control only to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict. For example, some Triton components
(such as the Triton Inference Server) are governed by open source software licenses. 

You acknowledge and agree that it is your sole responsibility to obtain any additional third-party
licenses required to make, have made, use, have used, sell, import, and offer for sale your products
or services that include or incorporate any third-party software and content relating to audio
and/or video encoders and decoders from, including but not limited to, Microsoft, Thomson,
Fraunhofer IIS, Sisvel S.p.A., MPEG-LA, and Coding Technologies. NVIDIA does not grant to you under
this license any necessary patent or other rights with respect to any audio and/or video encoders
and decoders.

Subject to the other terms of this license, you may use the CONTAINER to develop and test
applications released under Open Source Initiative (OSI) approved open source software licenses.
