End-user license agreement

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER

Customer acknowledges and agrees that Nanometrics seismometers, data acquisition systems and communications systems are designed and/or integrated for use in the monitoring of seismic activity (the “Product”). Proper function of the Product is dependent on installation, location, maintenance and the other technical requirements and parameters set out in the service level agreement. The Product measures time series data indicative of seismic activity, records and provided as a raw data set to Customer either continuously or at agreed intervals, at performance levels as set out in the service level agreement. Where the product includes or relies on communications systems such as cellular or satellite bandwidth Customer acknowledges and agrees that Nanometrics (and its licensors) shall not be liable to Customer or any third parties for any claims or damages to the extent such claims or damages arise from such use or reliance. Unless otherwise agreed with Nanometrics, no analytics of the raw data for Customer will be provided and Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Product is not a forecasting tool and cannot predict future seismic activity. Accordingly, Customer should not rely on the Product to provide warning or to provide fail-safe performance, in which the failure of the Product to predict or track all earthquakes or tremors could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage. Nanometrics (and its licensors) shall not be liable to Customer or any third parties for any claims or damages to the extent such claims or damages arise from such use or reliance. Before downloading, installing or using our software, please carefully read our end-user license agreement, which contains the terms and conditions under which you are acquiring a limited license to use the software.
