30-day Demonstration Version of NESSUS

NESSUS Demo Overview

NESSUS is a general purpose probabilistic analysis program typically applied to predict the reliability and/or probabilistic response of complex structural or mechanical systems in engineering applications.

A 30-day demonstration version of NESSUS is available at no cost to evaluate the general capabilities of the software. The graphical user interface is fully functional for evaluation of all capabilities. The actual execution of the problem is limited to five random variables and performance functions defined by analytical equations.

Intended Usage

EXCEPT AS STATED ABOVE, THE LICENSED PROGRAM(S) IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

4. LIMITATION OF REMEDIES. The entire liability of SwRI and customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, is limited to the replacement of any diskette(s) not meeting SwRI’s limited warranty provided such defective media shall be returned to SwRI.

IN NO EVENT WILL SwRI OR ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE CREATION, PRODUCTION, OR DELIVERY OF THE PROGRAM(S) BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT, WARRANTY OR PATENT OR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OR ANY INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR DAMAGES FOR LOST DATA OR PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM(S), EVEN IF SwRI OR OTHERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR FOR ANY CLAIM BY ANY PARTY.

5. EXPORT/IMPORT COMPLIANCE. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer specifically acknowledges and agrees that the IP is subject to U.S., foreign, and international export control, import, and economic sanctions laws and regulations and agrees to comply with all such applicable laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) and regulations administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), in its use of and any other dealings involving the IP.

Customer understands and agrees that the export, reexport, transfer (in-country), sale, lease, or supply, or any other access to or use of the IP to or in a third country or to, by, or for a different end-user or end-use may require a license or other authorization from the Government of the United States. Customer warrants that it will not, directly or indirectly, export, reexport, transfer, sell, lease, supply, or allow access to or use of the IP to or by another end-user or third party, including a parent or affiliate company; or to, in, by, or for sanctioned, embargoed, or prohibited countries/regions, persons, or end-uses, without authorization from the U.S. government and the express written approval of SwRI. Customer understands that countries/regions currently sanctioned or embargoed by the United States include, but are not limited to, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea region of Ukraine. Customer further understands that persons subject to U.S. sanctions or other prohibitions include, but are not limited to, individuals or entities identified on or in the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Denied Persons List, Unverified List, or Entity List; the U.S. Department of State’s Nonproliferation Sanctions determinations; or OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals List, Foreign Sanctions Evaders List, or Sectoral Sanctions Identifications List. In certain cases, entities directly or indirectly 50% or more owned, in the aggregate, by listed individuals/entities also are subject to U.S. sanctions or prohibitions. Finally, Customer understands that prohibited end-uses currently can include, but are not limited to, end-uses related to proliferation of nuclear weapons, maritime nuclear propulsion, missiles, rocket systems, unmanned air vehicles, or chemical or biological weapons, as well as military end-uses/end-users in certain countries (currently, China, Russia, Venezuela, and, in certain instances, Iraq) and certain energy projects in Russia or involving Russian entities.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, SwRI shall have the right to terminate this Agreement or stop performance immediately upon the determination by SwRI, at SwRI’s sole discretion, that Customer has breached, intends to breach, or insists upon breaching any of the provisions in this Export/Import Compliance provision. Customer further understands and agrees that SwRI may at any time halt performance under this Agreement if such performance is not authorized under the EAR or any other applicable law or regulation or if any change in applicable law or regulation creates an unacceptable risk to SwRI if it continues to perform under this Agreement, which SwRI will determine at its sole discretion. Under any circumstance described in this paragraph, SwRI shall be released from responsibility for fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement and shall not be subject to any penalties for lack of performance or breach of this Agreement; and, if instructed by SwRI, Customer must cease use of and/or destroy or return all copies of the IP immediately.

Customer covenants and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless SwRI from and against any and all damages, claims, allegations, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses, including attorney’s fees, which arise out of, relate to, or result from Customer’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Export/Import Compliance provision or any applicable export control, import, or sanctions law or regulation.

6. GENERAL. This Agreement merges all prior written and oral communications regarding the Program(s) and sets forth the entire agreement of the parties. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas. Venue shall be in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. If any provision of this Agreement is ruled invalid under any law, it shall be deemed modified or omitted to the extent necessary, and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. No purchase order or any other purchasing instruments issued by Customer, even if such purchase order or other purchasing instrument provides that it takes precedence over any other agreement between the parties, shall be effective to contradict, modify, delete from, or add to the terms of this Agreement in any manner whatsoever. All payments by Customer to SwRI shall be made in United States of America currency, and all payments to SwRI shall be free and clear of all taxes and other governmental charges of any country except the United States of America.
