Intel and You are referred to herein individually as a "Party" or, together, as the "Parties". In consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the parties acknowledge, and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows: 1. PURPOSE. You seek to obtain, and Intel desires to provide You, under the terms of this Agreement, Software solely for Your internal efforts to develop or to test and evaluate products integrating Intel hardware and Intel software. "Software" refers to certain Intel I/O buffer models (IBIS/ HSPICE simulation models), including specific design files (encrypted HSPICE I/O buffer netlists, IBIS behavioral data), format test benches (HSPICE simulation decks) and/or suite of test vectors (I/O feature library settings), and product/user documentation relating to the I/O Buffer Models, which have been provided along with or pursuant to this Agreement, and including any updates or releases thereto. All references to "Altera" included in the Software shall be deemed to refer to Intel. "Intel-based product" refers to a device that includes, incorporates, or implements an Intel CPLD or FPGA.

You may have the rights herein performed by contractors working on Your behalf or at Your behest, provided that You remain fully liable to Intel for the actions and inactions of those contractors. You may provide simulation decks of the Software to Your third party simulator developers for debugging purposes, provided that such use is in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and You will remain fully liable to Intel for the actions and inactions of Your third party simulator developers.
