Software Development Kit License Agreement + +Copyright © 2014 Oculus VR, Inc. All rights reserved. + +The text of this may be found at: http://www.oculusvr.com/licenses/LICENSE-3.1 + +Human-Readable Summary*: + +You are Free to: + +Use, modify, and distribute the Oculus VR Rift SDK in source and binary +form with your applications/software. + +With the Following Restrictions: + +You can only distribute or re-distribute the source code to LibOVR in +whole, not in part. + +Modifications to the Oculus VR Rift SDK in source or binary form must +be shared with Oculus VR. + +If your applications cause health and safety issues, you may lose your +right to use the Oculus VR Rift SDK, including LibOVR. + +The Oculus VR Rift SDK may not be used to interface with unapproved commercial +virtual reality mobile or non-mobile products or hardware. + +* - This human-readable Summary is not a license. It is simply a convenient +reference for understanding the full Oculus VR Rift SDK License Agreement. +The Summary is written as a user-friendly interface to the full Oculus VR Rift +SDK License below. This Summary itself has no legal value, and its contents do +not appear in the actual license. + +Full-length Legal Copy: + +1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License Agreement (the "License"), +Oculus VR, Inc. ("Oculus VR") hereby grants to you a perpetual, worldwide, +non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, sublicenseable copyright license to use, +reproduce, redistribute (subject to restrictions below), modify, and improve the +software contained in this Oculus VR Rift Software Development Kit ("RIFT SDK"), +including, but not limited to, the samples, headers, LibOVR headers, and LibOVR +source. This license is subject to the following terms and conditions: + +1.1. This license includes the non-exclusive license and right to use (i) the RIFT +SDK to make applications, content, games and demos (collectively and generally +referred to as “Developer Content”) that run on the Oculus VR approved mobile hardware +and software products (“Oculus Approved Rift Products”) and which may incorporate +the RIFT SDK in whole or in part in binary or object code; and (ii) to use the +RIFT SDK to create derivative works of the RIFT SDK itself ("RIFT SDK Derivatives"), +whether in source, binary, or object form, in whole or in part, including third +party software unless otherwise noted. + +1.2. RIFT SDK Derivatives are further defined as source, binary or object code +derived exclusively from the RIFT SDK by you; provided, however, that RIFT SDK +Derivatives do not include the Developer Content (engines, utilities, applications, +content, games or demos) which may be developed using the RIFT SDK. By way of example +a mobile application or game or demo that is developed using the RIFT SDK would not +be a RIFT SDK Derivative , nor would a utility or tool set in a pre-existing game +engine that is adapted to work with the RIFT SDK be a RIFT SDK Derivative. +By way of example, but not limitation, a RIFT SDK Derivative is or would be: either (i) +an adaptation of a utility or piece of code from the RIFT SDK to improve efficiency; +or (ii) an addition of code or improvement to the RIFT SDK that adds functionality. + +1.3 For the sake of clarification when you use the RIFT SDK (including RIFT SDK +Derivatives) in or with Developer Content, you retain all rights to your Developer +Content, and you have no obligations to share or license Developer Content (including +your source and object code) to Oculus VR or any third parties; provided, however, +Oculus VR retains all rights to the RIFT SDK and the RIFT SDK Derivatives that may +be incorporated into your Developer Content. + +1.4 You agree to and you will use the Flash Screen Warning and the Health and +Safety Warnings (collectively the “Oculus Warnings”) and the Oculus VR health and +safety protocols found in the Oculus Best Practices Guide (“Oculus H&S Protocols”), +and your use of the Oculus Warnings and the Oculus end user license agreement +(“Oculus EULA”) with your Developer Content as provided for in the Oculus Developer +Center, all of which can be found at the following link: +https://developer.oculusvr.com/?action=doc. + +2. You, the recipient and user of the RIFT SDK, hereby agree and accept that that +Oculus VR shall own all right, title and interest to the intellectual property +rights, including, but limited to copyright, trademark and patent rights, to any +RIFT SDK Derivatives that you may create, and you hereby assign any and all such +rights to such RIFT SDK Derivatives to Oculus VR, subject to the following. + +2.1 We hereby grant to you the a fully paid up, no-charge, royalty-free, +world-wide, in perpetuity, non-exclusive right and license back to use these RIFT +SDK Derivatives solely in conjunction with the RIFT SDK (or any components of the +RIFT SDK) and/or Developer Content on Oculus Rift Products as set forth herein. + +2.2 Furthermore, for the sake of clarification, Oculus VR and its assignees and +licensees shall be free to use such RIFT SDK Derivatives without any approval +from you and without compensation or attribution to you. + +2.3 You also agree upon Oculus VR's request to provide the source and binary code +of any RIFT SDK Derivatives to Oculus VR. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS REQUEST +IS THE BASIS FOR AUTOMATIC TERMINATION OF THIS LICENSE BY OCULUS VR. + +3. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, your license to redistribute +and sublicense the RIFT SDK and RIFT SDK Derivatives is also expressly made +subject to the following conditions: + +3.1. You may sublicense and redistribute the source, binary, or object code of +the RIFT SDK in whole or in part by itself for no charge or as part of a for charge +piece of Developer Content; provided, however, you may only license, sublicense +or redistribute the source, binary or object code of LibOVR in whole, and you may +not license, sublicense or redistribute any portion or element of LibOVR separately +or in part (in either source, binary or object form). If you license, sublicense +or redistribute RIFT SDK Derivatives in and of themselves (not as a part of a +piece of Developer Content) then you may only do that solely with and in conjunction +with either the RIFT SDK or LibOVR. The RIFT SDK (including, but not limited to +LibOVR), any RIFT SDK Derivatives, and any Developer Content may only be used +with Oculus Approved Rift Products and may not be used, licensed, or sublicensed +to interface with mobile software or hardware or other commercial headsets, +mobile tablets or phones that are not authorized and approved by Oculus VR; + +3.2. You must include with all such redistributed or sublicensed RIFT SDK +or RIFT SDK Derivatives code the following copyright notice: +"Copyright © 2014 Oculus VR, Inc.

You must also include +in the License Notice file for all RIFT SDK Derivatives a copy of all notices +(including any product liability or health and safety notices). The contents +of the License Notice file are for informational purposes only and do not modify +the License.

This License does not grant permission to use the trade names, trademarks, +service marks, or product names of Oculus VR, except as required for reasonable +and customary use in describing the origin of the RIFT SDK, LibOVR, or any +element thereof, and reproducing the content of the License Notice file. +5. In no event and under no legal theory, whether in tort (including negligence), +contract, or otherwise, unless required by applicable law (such as +deliberate and grossly negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall Oculus VR +or any contributor be liable to you or your licensees or sublicensees for +damages, including any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential +damages of any character arising as a result of this License or out of the use +or inability to use the RIFT SDK, LibOVR, any element thereof or any RIFT SDK +Derivatives (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill, work +stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial +damages or losses), even if you or such contributor has been advised of the +possibility of such damages. + +6. Your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this License in and of +itself and for all Developer Content created as of March 1, 2014, may be +evidenced by any of the following: your usage of the RIFT SDK or any element +thereof, acceptance of the click-through agreement, or opening the packaging +of the CD-ROM containing the RIFT SDK or any element thereof, including LibOVR. +As this License is updated for future releases of the RIFT SDK and/or LibOVR, +you agree to abide by and meet all requirements of future updates of this +License for those future RIFT SDK releases as evidenced by the same usage of +the RIFT SDK or any element thereof and the future updates of this License +will apply for that future Developer Content that may developed for or with +that future RIFT SDK or any element thereof (i.e., you cannot sidestep out +of the requirements of future updates of the License by developing against +an older release of the RIFT SDK or License). + +7. Oculus VR reserves the right to terminate this License and all your +rights hereunder in the event you materially breach this License and fail +to cure such breach within ten (10) business days after notice of breach +from Oculus VR. + +8. Furthermore, Oculus VR also reserves the right to cancel or terminate +this License for any of the following reasons upon notice to you, subject +to the appeal process set forth in Section 14 for a wrongful termination: + + a) Intellectual property infringement by you with Developer Content + or RIFT SDK Derivatives created by you that is used with or by the + RIFT SDK or any part thereof, or any of the RIFT SDK Derivatives; + + b) Developer Content that violates or infringes upon applicable law; + + c) Health and safety issues associated with your Developer Content; + + d) Failure to comply with or use properly the Oculus Warnings, + Oculus H&S Protocols, or Oculus EULA; + + e) Use of the RIFT SDK, RIFT SDK Derivatives or LibOVR with a + commercial product other than an Oculus Approved Product; and + + f) Failure to provide required notices or deliver source code + and/or binary of RIFT SDK Derivatives as set forth above. + +If you believe that you have been wrongfully terminated under this Section 8 +with respect to material breach or with respect to these above conditions, +you have the right to appeal the termination of this License under Section 14. + +9. This License may be amended by Oculus VR on a prospective basis, and your +usage of the License after such amendments or changes signifies your consent +to and acceptance of any such amendments or changes on a going forward basis. + +10. In the event any provision of this License is determined to be invalid, +prohibited or unenforceable by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction, +this License shall be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable +provision has been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or +unenforceable. + +11. You may not assign any rights or obligations under this License without +the advance written consent of Oculus VR, which may be withheld in its sole +discretion. Oculus VR may assign its rights or obligations under this License +in its sole discretion. + +12. Failure of either party at any time to enforce any of the provisions of +this License will not be construed as a waiver of such provisions or in any way +affect the validity of this License or parts thereof. + +13. Your remedies under this License shall be limited to the right to collect +money damages, if any, and you hereby waive your right to injunctive or other +equitable relief. + +14. This License shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, +without giving effect to choice of law principles. All disputes relating to +this License shall be resolved by binding non-appearance-based arbitration +before a neutral arbitrator in Orange County, California. If your License +has been terminated hereunder by Oculus, you may appeal your termination +through this arbitration process on an expedited basis with an arbitration +within thirty days of your giving Oculus VR notice of the appeal.
