PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. BY INSTALLING, DOWNLOADING OR OTHERWISE USING THE SOFTWARE (INCLUDING ITS COMPONENTS), YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS, DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE.
YOU MUST HAVE A SEPARATE VALID XAMARIN SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR MONOTOUCH OR MONO FOR ANDROID (WHICH MUST BE AN ENTERPRISE OR PROFESSIONAL LICENSE) IN ORDER TO USE THE SOFTWARE COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
1. RIGHTS AND LICENSES
1.1. This Xamarin Software License Agreement (“Agreement”) is a legal agreement between You (an entity or a person) and Xamarin Inc. (“Xamarin”). The software product identified in the title of this Agreement, any media and accompanying documentation (collectively the “Software”) is protected by the copyright laws and treaties of the United States (“U.S.”) and other countries and is subject to the terms of this Agreement. Any update or support release to the Software that You may download or receive that is not accompanied by a license agreement expressly superseding this Agreement is Software and governed by this Agreement. If the Software is an update or support release, then You must have validly licensed the version and quantity of the Software being updated or supported in order to install or use the update or support release. If Software You download or receive hereunder is an update or support release for a prior version of Xamarin Mobile API Preview software You had that was subject to the terms of a prior Xamarin software license agreement that differs from this Agreement and may apply to such Software You download or receive hereunder, then this Agreement supersedes such prior license agreement but only with respect to such Software downloaded or received hereunder.
You may only use the Software, as expressly permitted herein, in conjunction with Your Primary Mono Software. As used herein, “Your Primary Mono Software” means Xamarin MonoTouch software or Xamarin Mono for Android software that is both (a) covered by a separate valid Xamarin software license agreement under which You are the licensee (Your “Primary Mono License”) and (b) for which You have acquired an Enterprise license or Professional license under Your Primary Mono License.
1.2. Components; Other License Terms. The Software may be comprised of numerous components that may be accompanied by separate license terms. In that case, the Software is a collective work of Xamarin; although Xamarin may not own the copyright to every component of the Software, Xamarin owns the collective work copyright for the Software.
Some of the components may be open source packages, developed independently, and accompanied by separate license terms. Your license rights with respect to any individual components accompanied by separate license terms are defined by those terms; nothing in this agreement shall restrict, limit, or otherwise affect any rights or obligations You may have, or conditions to which You may be subject, under such license terms.
1.3. Instances. "Instance" means the initial copy of the Software necessary for use of the Software in conjunction with Your use of Your Primary Mono Software under Your Primary Mono License, and each additional copy (or partial copy) of the Software stored or loaded in memory or virtual memory. Each Instance of the Software (excluding the Redistributables) must be associated with a Professional Instance license or Enterprise Instance license of Your Primary Mono Software (as “Professional Instance” and “Enterprise Instance” are used in Your Primary Mono License) you have acquired, and may only be used by the individual that is permitted to use such Professional Instance or Enterprise Instance under Your Primary Mono License.
1.4. Software License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Xamarin hereby grants to You a world-wide, nonexclusive, non-transferable license to internally use the Software, during the term of this Agreement, solely in conjunction with Your Primary Mono Software to develop software applications as permitted in Your Primary Mono License (these applications may be referred to as “Apps” herein).
1.5. Redistributables License Grant. Subject to (a) the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (b) the terms and conditions of Your Primary Mono License that restrict or limit Your reproduction and distribution of Primary Redistributables (as defined below) (which terms and conditions, for clarity, will vary depending on whether you have an Enterprise or Professional license thereunder), which terms and conditions are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference and shall apply to Redistributables herein as if they were Primary Redistributables, Xamarin hereby grants to You a world-wide, nonexclusive, non-transferable license to reproduce and distribute the Redistributables (as defined below), during the term of this Agreement, in binary code form only and solely in combination with or in support of Your associated App You developed under Your Primary Mono License using the Software in conjunction with Your Primary Mono Software. In the course of Your using the Software in conjunction with Your Primary Mono Software, Your Primary Mono Software will provide You versions of the following files for Your distribution in combination with or in support of Your associated App: Xamarin.mobile.dll (each a “Redistributable” and together, the “Redistributables”). For clarity, the version of each Redistributable that is provided to You for distribution as described above may differ from the version of such file that is present with or in the Software generally or that is provided for distribution with other Apps, and so only the version provided by Your Primary Mono Software expressly for distribution with Your associated App as described above will be a “Redistributable” hereunder. For clarity, the Redistributables are included in the term “Software” hereunder. As used herein, “Primary Redistributables” shall mean the “Redistributables” or “Non-Modifiable Redistributables,” as applicable, in either case as defined in Your Primary Mono License.
1.6. Other License Terms and Restrictions.
The Software is protected by the copyright laws and treaties of the United States ("U.S.") and other countries and is subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Software is licensed to You, not sold.
The Software may be bundled with other software programs ("Bundled Programs"). Your license rights with respect to Bundled Programs accompanied by separate license terms are defined by those terms; nothing in this Agreement shall restrict, limit, or otherwise affect any rights or obligations You may have, or conditions to which You may be subject, under such license terms.
Xamarin reserves all rights not expressly granted to You. You may not:
(1) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any Software except and only to the extent it is expressly permitted by applicable law;
(2) assign, sublicense, distribute (except as expressly permitted in Section 1.5 for Redistributables), or otherwise transfer any Software to any third party (without limitation, this prohibits You from (a) bundling any Software (including any Xamarin tools, libraries, or runtime) into a competing platform and (b) distributing Xamarin tools, libraries, or runtimes as library, source project, or other unfinished work (i.e., distribution is only permitted for Redistributables and as completely built App that is compiled, signed, and ready for distribution in accordance with Your Primary Mono License));
(3) reproduce any Software (except as expressly permitted in Section 1.5 for Redistributables);
(4) create derivative works of, modify, adapt or translate any Software;
(5) use any Software to provide services for any third party;
(6) lease, rent, loan, share or otherwise use, or permit use of, any Software by or for any third party;
(7) use, or permit use of, a single Instance by or for more than one individual;
(8) remove any proprietary notices on or in any Software;
(9) use any Software in a manner not in accordance with its documentation; or
(10) use any Software in an illegal or fraudulent manner.
1.7. Evaluation Software. If the Software is an evaluation version or is provided to You for evaluation purposes, then Your license to use the Software is limited solely to internal evaluation purposes and in accordance with the terms of the evaluation offering under which You received the Software, including any limited evaluation period that may apply (which may also be indicated within the Software). Upon expiration of the evaluation period, You must discontinue use of the Software, return to an original state any actions performed by the Software, and delete the Software entirely from Your system. The Software may contain an automatic disabling mechanism that prevents its use after a certain period of time, so You should back up Your system and take other measures to prevent any loss of files or data. Without limiting the above, You may not use Evaluation Software to create an App.
2. MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT
Xamarin has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for the Software. If Xamarin does provide any such support or maintenance and no separate agreement specifically applies to such support or maintenance, then the terms of this Agreement will govern the provision of such support or maintenance services (“Services“) and Xamarin may cease Services, in whole or part, at any time. For more information on Xamarin's current support offerings, see http://support.xamarin.com.
3. OWNERSHIP
No title to or ownership of the Software is transferred to You. Xamarin and/or its licensors retain all right, title and interest in and to all intellectual property rights in the Software and Services, including any adaptations or copies thereof. You acquire only a conditional license to use the Software.

NEITHER XAMARIN NOR ANY OF ITS LICENSORS, SUBSIDIARIES, OR EMPLOYEES WILL IN ANY CASE BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, TORT, ECONOMIC OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS OR DATA, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES.

6.8. Severability. If any provision in this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be construed, limited, modified or, if necessary, severed, to the extent necessary, to eliminate its invalidity or unenforceability, and the other provisions of this Agreement will remain unaffected.
