These Product Specific Terms for NVIDIA Omniverse (“Omniverse Product-Specific Terms”) are an exhibit to the NVIDIA Software License Agreement at https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/agreements/enterprise-software/nvidia-software-license-agreement/ (the “Agreement”) and are incorporated as an integral part of the Agreement.
Scope. The Agreement and these Omniverse Product-Specific Terms govern the use of NVIDIA Omniverse including:
Community Products, all publicly available versions of the Software, with the exception of the Software listed below as an Enterprise Product, as updated from time to time, and
Enterprise Products, versions of the Kit SDK, Nucleus Enterprise, and Omniverse Cloud Containers, as updated from time to time.
For the purposes of the Agreement:
“Kit SDK” means an NVIDIA toolkit for Omniverse including extensions for the development of applications, microservices or plugins.
“Nucleus” means an NVIDIA application that enables collaboration service for Omniverse.
“Omniverse Cloud Containers” means Omniverse software containers accessible via Omniverse Core APIs and deployable on Kubernetes in which Omniverse software is packaged, along with its libraries and dependencies.
“Project Content” means a game, application, software, or other content that you develop using Omniverse Products.
Grant. Section 1.1 of the Agreement is amended and restated to read as follows:
Subject to the terms of the Agreement, Customer’s Order Form and license parameters of an Enterprise Product Part Number, and payment of applicable fees, NVIDIA grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable (except as expressly provided in the Agreement) license to do the following for the duration of the license:
install, use, reproduce, create Derivative Samples and Derivative Models, and configure (if applicable) the Software,
offer as a service the Software and Derivative Samples and Derivative Models in Compatible Applications on infrastructure Customer owns or leases, and
sublicense and distribute the Software, Derivative Samples and Derivative Models in Compatible Applications.
Limited Grant. Section 1.2 of the Agreement is amended and restated to read as follows:
Limited Grants. The grants above are further limited as follows:
Users that receive an Enterprise Product identified as “not for resale” or “NFR” (typically a license to a distributor or reseller) may exercise only the grant in Section 1.1.1 above solely for internal evaluation or to demonstrate the Enterprise Product to others. Software offered as part of the developer program is not for use, distribution or deployment in production.
Users that receive an Enterprise Product for trial may exercise the grants in Section 1.1 solely for the trial period.
Users that receive an Enterprise Product via the NVIDIA developer program for Omniverse products have a personal use license to exercise only the grant in Section 1.1.1 above for Software that is part of this program (as updated by NVIDIA from time to time) solely for internal evaluation, development or test purposes. Software offered as part of the developer program is not for use, distribution or deployment in production. NVIDIA will admit persons into the developer program for Omniverse products, as well as change or discontinue the program and its offerings, at NVIDIA’s sole discretion.
License Types. Section 1.4 (“License Types”) of the Agreement is amended to add the following:
NVIDIA may offer and sell, with different prices and terms, Subscriptions for use of Enterprise Products in a designated platform. For example, NVIDIA may indicate that use of the Software within the NVIDIA Graphics Delivery Network (GDN) is subject to payment of GDN use fees and Customer is exempt from payment of fees for use of the Enterprise Product under this Agreement. If you obtained a Subscription at a different price solely for use in a particular platform (such as GDN) and you use in other platforms, NVIDIA or a reseller may invoice you to pay a higher value Enterprise Product Subscription.
Individual License: Omniverse Products obtained by individuals under this Agreement may be used commercially, provided however that (a) an authorized user can only use Kit SDK without Enterprise Support with one other individual in your entity or its Affiliates to create Project Content without purchasing a Subscription License, and (b) use is limited to a single GPU. For clarity, an entity and its Affiliates may have multiple groups of up to two individuals creating Project Content without purchasing Subscription License as authorized in this section.
A new subsection 1.7 is added to the Agreement as follows:
