End User License Agreement
VMWARE GENERAL TERMS
Last updated:16 June 2022
By downloading or using an Offering, Customer agrees to be bound by the terms of the
Agreement.
1. OFFERINGS.
1.1. Applicable Terms. The terms of the Order and these General Terms, including applicable
Exhibits and Offering-specific Notes (collectively, the "Agreement") govern Customer's use
of the Offerings. The following descending order of precedence applies: (a) the Order; (b)
the General Terms; (c) the Exhibits; and (d) the Offering-specific Notes.
1.2. Users. Customer is responsible for its Users' compliance with the Agreement.
1.3. Restrictions. Customer may use the Offerings only for its internal use and for the
benefit of its Affiliates. Affiliates may not use the Offerings. Customer may not resell or
sublicense its rights to the Offerings. Customer may not use the Offerings in an application
service provider, service bureau, hosted IT service, or similar capacity for third parties.
1.4. Benchmarking. Customer may use the Offerings to conduct internal performance testing
and benchmarking studies. Customer may only publish or distribute study results with
VMware's approval. Customer may submit requests to VMware by emailing benchmark@vmware.com.
1.5. Evaluations. Evaluations are for 30 days (unless VMware specifies otherwise in
writing). Customer may not have access to data in the Evaluation after it ends. Evaluations
are provided "AS IS" without indemnification, support, service level commitment, or warranty
of any kind, express or implied.
2. ORDERS AND PAYMENTS.
2.1. Orders. Orders are binding when VMware accepts them, which is deemed to occur on
Delivery.
2.2. Purchase Orders. Purchase orders do not have to be signed to be valid. Terms contained
in any purchase order or other business form do not apply.
2.3. No Refunds. All Orders are non-refundable and non-cancellable except as expressly
provided in the Agreement.
2.4. Overages. Customer must pay all fees for use of the Offerings, including amounts for
add-on features and fees incurred based on usage. VMware may bill Customer directly for
metered or overage fees, even if Customer originally purchased the Offerings through a
VMware authorized reseller.
2.5. Direct Orders. This section 2.5 (Direct Orders) applies only to Orders placed directly
with VMware. If Customer purchases entitlements to the Offerings through a VMware authorized
reseller, different terms regarding invoicing, payment, and taxes may apply.
2.5.1. Payments. Except as listed in an Order, fees for the Offerings will be governed by
the applicable price list at the time of invoicing. Customer must pay all undisputed fees
and approved expenses within 30 days from the date of invoice. After 30 days, interest will
accrue at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the highest lawful rate.
2.5.2. Disputes. To dispute any fees in good faith, Customer must notify VMware in writing
of the reasons for the dispute before the payment due date. The parties must negotiate in
good faith to resolve the dispute as soon as reasonably practicable. VMware will not suspend
or terminate Customer's access to any Offering because of any unpaid, disputed fees while
Customer and VMware are negotiating to resolve the dispute.
2.5.3. Taxes. Fees are exclusive of Taxes. Customer must pay or reimburse VMware for all
Taxes. If Customer is required to withhold any Tax, Customer must gross up its payments so
that VMware receives all sums due in full. If Customer's address is outside of the United
States, VMware will treat the Customer's "bill to" address as the place of supply for VAT
purposes.
3. TERM.
3.1. Term. The Agreement applies to the Offerings from the effective date of the Order until
the expiration or termination of Customer's entitlement to the Offerings as set forth in
this Agreement.
3.2. Temporary Suspension. In the event of a security risk to a Service or its users, VMware
may suspend Customer's use of that Service.
3.3. Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate the Agreement (in whole or in part)
or Customer's entitlement to an Offering under the Agreement effective immediately upon
written notice if the other party: (a) materially breaches any provision of the Agreement
and fails to cure within 30 days after receiving written notice; or (b) becomes insolvent or
subject to any form of bankruptcy proceeding.
3.4. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of the Agreement or part of it: (a) all
entitlements to the applicable Offerings immediately end; (b) Customer must stop using, and
destroy any copies of, those Offerings; and (c) each party must return or destroy any
Confidential Information of the other party in its control (other than information that must
be retained by law). Any provision that is intended by the parties to survive termination of
the Agreement will survive.
4. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
4.1. Protection. Recipient must protect Discloser's Confidential Information with at least
the same care as it protects its own Confidential Information but not less than reasonable
care. Recipient may not use Discloser's Confidential Information except to exercise its
rights and perform its obligations under the Agreement. Recipient may disclose Confidential
Information only to Recipient's Affiliates, employees and contractors who need to know the
Confidential Information for purposes of the Agreement and who have a duty of
confidentiality no less restrictive than this section 4 (Confidential Information).
4.2. Exceptions. Recipient's obligations under section 4.1 (Protection) do not apply if the
information: (a) is rightfully known by Recipient at the time of disclosure without any
obligation of confidentiality; (b) is lawfully disclosed to Recipient by a third party
without confidentiality restrictions; (c) becomes publicly available through no fault of
Recipient; or (d) is independently developed by Recipient without access to or use of
Discloser's Confidential Information.
4.3. Injunctive Relief. Nothing in the Agreement limits a party's right to seek equitable
relief for breach of this section 4 (Confidential Information).
5. OWNERSHIP.
5.1. Customer Content. Customer retains all Intellectual Property Rights in and to Customer
Content.
5.2. VMware IP. VMware retains all Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Offerings,
including any improvements, enhancements, modifications, and derivative works. If Customer
provides any feedback about the Offerings, VMware may use that feedback without restriction.
5.3. Reservation of Rights. Except as expressly stated in the Agreement, the Agreement does
not grant either party any rights, implied or otherwise, to the other party's content or
intellectual property.
6. LIMITED WARRANTIES.
6.1. Software and Cloud Services. VMware warrants that Software and Cloud Services will
substantially conform with the Documentation: (a) for Software, for 90 days following
Delivery; or (b) for Cloud Services, for the Subscription Term. Customer must properly
install and use the Offerings without modification and in accordance with the Documentation.
Customer must notify VMware of an alleged breach of this warranty within the applicable
warranty period. As Customer's sole remedy for a breach of this warranty, VMware must
either: (1) correct any reproducible error in the Software or Cloud Service; or (2)
terminate the Software or Cloud Service and refund applicable license fees (for Software) or
unused, prepaid fees (for Cloud Services).
6.2. Professional Services and Support Services. VMware warrants that Professional Services
and Support Services will be performed in a professional manner following industry
standards. Customer must notify VMware within 30 days of an alleged breach of this warranty.
As Customer's sole remedy for a breach of this warranty, VMware must either: (a) rectify the
breach; or (b) terminate the applicable Service and refund any unused, prepaid fees for that
Service.
6.3. Disclaimer of Warranties. Except for the limited warranties in this section 6 (Limited
Warranties), to the maximum extent permitted by law, VMware, for itself and on behalf of its
suppliers, disclaims all warranties and conditions whether express, implied, or statutory,
including any warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular
purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or course
of performance, relating to the Offerings. Neither VMware nor its suppliers warrant that the
Offerings will operate uninterrupted, that Offerings will be free from defects or errors, or
that the Offerings will meet (or are designed to meet) Customer's requirements.
7. INDEMNIFICATION.
7.1. Defense and Indemnification. Subject to the remainder of this section 7
(Indemnification), VMware will: (a) defend Customer against any Infringement Claim; and (b)
indemnify Customer from amounts finally awarded against Customer by a court of competent
jurisdiction or a government agency, or agreed to in a settlement, for the Infringement
Claim.
7.2. Requirements. Customer must provide VMware with prompt notice of any Infringement Claim
and reasonably cooperate with VMware's requests for assistance. VMware will have sole
control of the defense and settlement of the Infringement Claim.
7.3. Exclusions. VMware has no obligation under this section 7 (Indemnification) with
respect to an Infringement Claim based on: (a) combination of Indemnified Materials with
non-VMware materials; (b) use of an older version of Indemnified Materials when use of a
newer version would have avoided the infringement; (c) any modification to Indemnified
Materials other than those made by VMware; (d) any Deliverable provided by VMware in
accordance with Customer's specifications; (e) any claim relating to open source software or
freeware technology that is not embedded by VMware into the Offerings; or (f) any
Indemnified Material provided on a no-charge, beta, or evaluation basis.
7.4. Remedies. If Indemnified Materials become, or in VMware's reasonable opinion are likely
to become, the subject of an Infringement Claim, VMware must, at its option and expense,
either: (a) procure the necessary rights for Customer to keep using the Indemnified
Materials; or (b) modify or replace the Indemnified Materials to make them non-infringing.
If those remedies are not commercially feasible, VMware may terminate Customer's entitlement
to the Indemnified Materials and refund any applicable:
(1) prepaid fees for Cloud Services or Subscription Software, prorated for the remaining
portion of the then-current Subscription Term;
(2) fees paid for Perpetual Licenses or Deliverables, less straight-line depreciation over a
three-year useful life; and
(3) unused, prepaid fees for discontinued Support Services.
7.5. Sole Remedy. This section 7 (Indemnification) states Customer's sole remedy and
VMware's entire liability for Infringement Claims.
8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
8.1. Disclaimer. To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable for
lost profits or business opportunities, loss of use, loss of data, loss of goodwill,
business interruption, or any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages under
any theory of liability. This limitation will apply regardless of whether a party has been
advised of the possibility of those damages and regardless of whether any remedy fails of
its essential purpose.
8.2. Cap on Monetary Liability. Each party's aggregate liability under this Agreement will
not exceed amounts paid or payable by Customer for the Offering giving rise to the claim in
the 12 months prior to the event giving rise to the claim, except for Perpetual Licenses,
where each party's aggregate liability will not exceed the license fees paid for the
Software giving rise to the claim. VMware's aggregate liability for an Evaluation will not
exceed $5,000 USD.
8.3. Exclusions. The limitations of liability in sections 8.1 (Disclaimer) and 8.2 (Cap on
Monetary Liability) will not apply to: (a) VMware's indemnification obligations under
section 7 (Indemnification); (b) either party's infringement of the other party's
Intellectual Property Rights; (c) Customer's violation of section 2 of the Cloud Services
Exhibit (Acceptable Use); or (d) any liability that may not be limited by law.
8.4. Further Limitations.VMware's liability for any third-party software embedded into the
Software or Cloud Services is subject to this section 8 (Limitation of Liability). VMware's
suppliers have no liability under the Agreement, and Customer may not bring claims directly
against them. VMware has no liability with respect to any Third-Party Content.
9. DATA USE AND PRIVACY.
9.1. Personal Data. If VMware acts as a processor of Personal Data, VMware will process
Personal Data in accordance with the Data Processing Addendum.
9.2. Account, Operations, and Usage Data. VMware collects Customer contact and purchase
information to manage Customer's account and to fulfill Orders. VMware also processes: (a)
information necessary to facilitate delivery and operation of the Offerings, verify
compliance with the terms of the Agreement, invoice, and provide Support Services; and (b)
configuration, performance, and usage data to improve VMware products and services, and
other analytics purposes as detailed in the Offering-specific Notes. To the extent any of
that data includes information that identifies an individual, VMware will process that
information in accordance with VMware's Products and Services Privacy Notice available at
www.vmware.com/help/privacy.html.
9.3. Support Requests and Professional Services. Customer is responsible for taking steps
necessary to protect any sensitive information or Personal Data that it provides to VMware
while receiving Support Services or Professional Services. Those steps may include
obfuscating or removing such information or working with VMware at the time of submission to
limit disclosure.
9.4. Required Disclosures. VMware may disclose Customer Content or Confidential Information
if VMware is required by law or by order of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction (a "Demand"). Unless legally prohibited from doing so, VMware must provide
Customer with notice and a copy of the Demand. If the Demand relates to Cloud Services,
VMware must (i) inform the relevant authority that VMware is a service provider acting on
Customer's behalf and all requests for access to Customer Content should be directed in
writing to the contact Customer identifies (or if no contact is timely provided, to
Customer's legal department) and (ii) only provide access to Customer Content with
Customer's authorization. If Customer requests and at Customer's expense, VMware must take
reasonable steps to contest the Demand. If VMware is legally prohibited from notifying
Customer of the Demand, VMware must evaluate the validity of the Demand, and, if VMware does
not believe the Demand is legal, VMware must challenge the Demand. VMware must limit the
scope of any disclosure to the minimum information required to comply with the Demand.
10. OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE. Open source software is licensed to Customer under the open source
software's own applicable license terms, which can be found in either the open
source_licenses.txt file accompanying the Offerings, the Documentation, or at
www.vmware.com/download/open_source.html. These license terms are consistent with the
license granted in the Agreement and may contain additional rights benefiting Customer. The
open source license terms take precedence over the Agreement to the extent that the
Agreement imposes greater restrictions on Customer than the applicable open source license
terms. To the extent the license for any open source software requires VMware to make the
corresponding source code and/or modifications (the "Source Files") available to Customer,
Customer may obtain a copy of the applicable Source Files at
www.vmware.com/download/open_source.html or by sending a written request, with name and
address, to: VMware, Inc., 3401 Hillview Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, United States of
America. All requests should clearly specify: Open Source Files Request, Attention: General
Counsel. This offer to obtain a copy of the Source Files is valid for three years from the
date Customer acquires its entitlement to the Offering.
11. MISCELLANEOUS.
11.1. Transfer and Assignment. Customer may not assign the Agreement or any Order without
VMware's consent. Once validly assigned, the Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of
the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
11.2. Notice. All notices must be in writing. Notices to Customer will be given: (a) by
email to the email address associated with Customer's account, if Customer has subscribed to

be given to VMware, Inc., 3401 Hillview Avenue, Palo Alto, California 94304, United States
of America, Attention: Legal Department.
11.3. Waiver. Waiver of a breach of the Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any later
breach.

remaining provisions will remain in force to the extent feasible to effectuate the intent of
the parties.
11.5. Insurance. VMware will carry insurance for the term of the Agreement. VMware's

denying, in whole or in part, Customer's United States export privileges. Customer must
notify VMware promptly if Customer or any User becomes subject to any order of that type.
11.8. Governing Law. The Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California and
U.S. federal laws, if the billing address for Customer's Order is in the United States, and
by the laws of Ireland if the billing address for Customer's Order is outside the United
States. Conflict of law rules are expressly disclaimed. The United Nations Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
11.9. U.S. Public Sector End User. If Customer is a U.S. Public Sector End User, the U.S.
Public Sector Exhibit available at www.vmware.com/agreements supersedes or modifies the
referenced provisions of the Agreement.
11.10. Third Party Rights. Other than as expressly stated, the Agreement does not create any
rights for any person who is not a party to it. Only persons who are parties to the
Agreement may enforce or rely on any of its terms.
