6 MONTHS TRIAL VERSION END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR FLUKA SOFTWARE Copyright Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) and European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), 1989-2013. All rights not expressly granted under this license are reserved. Requests for permissions not granted under this license shall be addressed to the FLUKA Collabora- tion Committee, through fcc@fluka.org. Any permission may only be granted in writing. This software results in particular from work performed by Alberto Fassò, Alfredo Ferrari, Johannes Ranft, Paola Sala (the "Authors"), and their collaborators (the "Collaborators"). INFN and CERN are the exclusive source of distribution of the code, bug fixes and documentation of the FLUKA software (FLUKA website). By installing, or otherwise using the Trial Version of FLUKA software, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, you should refrain from installing or using the Trial Version of FLUKA software. DEFINITIONS The Licensors means both CERN and INFN. The Licensee means any person or entity exercising any permission granted by this license. The FLUKA software ("FLUKA") means the last updated version of the fully integrated particle physics Monte Carlo simulation software package being developed since 1989, available from the official FLUKA website and authorised mirror sites. FLUKA includes FLUKA User Routines (as defined below) and accompanying documentation. Output does not form part of FLUKA as herein defined. FLUKA User Routines ("User Routines") means the set of subroutines collected in the usermvax section of FLUKA and forming part of the standard distribution of FLUKA. The Trial Version of FLUKA software ("FLUKA Trial Version") means a version of the FLUKA software to be used only to review, demonstrate and evaluate the FLUKA software. The FLUKA Trial Version has an expiration date which is set out in the title of the Agreement at the sole discretion of the Licensors and which starts as from the date of its downloading by the Licensee ("the Expiration Date"). The FLUKA Trial Version features a built in limitation that purposely impedes unlimited use of the software. It therefore runs in a sub optimal way and limits the computational time to what is deemed adequate for the Purpose as described below. The Purpose should be defined as the willingness of the Licensee to use the Trial version of the FLUKA software in order to evaluate the suitability of FLUKA software for commercial applications and to determine whether to purchase FLUKA under commercial license conditions. Make Available means to market, distribute, transfer, license or sub-license, or in any way dispose of or make available. Output means results and data generated using FLUKA Trial Version, or any procedure or algorithm making use of results and data generated with FLUKA Trial Version, but excludes Comparisons (as defined below). Comparisons means results of benchmark comparisons of the FLUKA Trial Version physics models LICENSE GRANT 1. The Parties agree that the copyright and all other rights related to FLUKA, in whatever form, including but not limited to the object code, source code and user interface, are vested in Licensors, and that Licensors retain all title, copyright and any other proprietary rights in FLUKA. 2. All rights not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved. 3. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensors herewith grant to the Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable object code license to use the FLUKA Trial Version for the Purpose. 4. The scope of the license granted under this Agreement is strictly limited to the use of the FLUKA Trial Version for the Purpose and specifically excludes any scientific or commercial applications. 5. The Licensee shall under no circumstances circumvent the built in limitations contained in the FLUKA Trial version. 6. FLUKA Trial Version is licensed for use by the Licensee only, at the Licensee's site, and the Licensee shall not Make Available FLUKA Trial Version, in whole or in part, either separately or with a product or service, to third parties, without Licensors' prior written permission. 7. The Licensee may not modify, translate, decompile, disassemble, decrypt, extract, or otherwise reverse engineer FLUKA Trial Version, nor may the Licensee attempt to create the source code from the object code of FLUKA Trial Version. The Licensee may not insert FLUKA Trial Version code, in whole or in part, into other codes. The Licensee may not create derivative works of FLUKA Trial Version. It is understood that Output is not considered derivative works. 8. Without prejudice to article 5, the Licensee may modify FLUKA User routines to the extent that the purpose of the modifications is limited to the adaptation of input and output interfaces of FLUKA. Any such modifications are permitted only to the extent that they do not circumvent, replace, add to, or modify any of the functions of FLUKA, or extract specific isolated results from any of the individual internal physics models embedded within FLUKA. 9. The Licensee may use FLUKA Trial Version to generate Output for the Purpose only. The Licensee shall not Make Available such Output to third parties. 10. The Licensee may use FLUKA Trial Version to generate Comparisons for the Purpose but may not Make Available such Comparisons. 11. Any use of FLUKA Trial Version outside the scope of articles 3 to 7 is subject to prior written permission from Licensors. No Party may assign or transfer this Agreement to a third party. 12. The Licensee shall not use FLUKA Trial Version, Output, or Comparisons for military purposes. 13. The Licensee shall not copy FLUKA Trial Version, in whole or in part, for distribution purposes. PAYMENT 14. The FLUKA Trial Version is provided to Licensee free of charge. MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT 15. The Licensors are under no obligation to correct any problems or errors of FLUKA Trial Version. WARRANTY AND LIABILITY 16. DISCLAIMER: FLUKA TRIAL VERSION IS PROVIDED BY LICENSORS "AS IS" AND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE ARE DISCLAIMED. LICENSORS AND THE AUTHORS MAKE NO REPRESENTATION THAT FLUKA TRIAL VERSION WILL NOT INFRINGE ANY PATENT, COPYRIGHT, TRADE SECRET OR OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHT. LICENSORS ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY FACTS THAT WOULD LEAD A REASONABLE PERSON TO BELIEVE THAT USE OF FLUKA TRIAL VERSION WOULD INFRINGE THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. THE LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LICENSORS AND THE AUTHORS HAVE NOT PERFORMED ANY SEARCHES OR INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE EXISTENCE OF ANY THIRD PARTY RIGHTS THAT MAY AFFECT FLUKA TRIAL VERSION. 17. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: EXCEPT AS MAY BE MANDATED BY LAW, IN CASE OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILFUL MISCONDUCT, LICENSORS AND ANY CONTRIBUTOR SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, LOSS OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM THE USE, INCLUDING ANY INABILITY TO USE, FLUKA TRIAL VERSION AND/OR OUTPUT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND THE LICENSEE SHALL HOLD LICENSORS AND ANY CONTRIBUTOR FREE AND HARMLESS FROM ANY LIABILITY, INCLUDING CLAIMS BY THIRD PARTIES, IN RELATION TO SUCH USE. 18. The Parties shall take all necessary measures to prevent any infringement of the terms of this Agreement.

DURATION AND TERMINATION 19. This Agreement shall enter into force on the day of its downloading by the Licensee. 20. This Agreement shall terminate and the license shall lapse after the Expiration date of the FLUKA Trial Version. 21. This Agreement may terminate if the Licensee fails to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement such termination having been notified in writing by the Licensors and being effective within thirty (30) days unless within that period the breach is remedied by the Licensee, or if the Licensee institutes litigation against any of Licensors or any contributors with regard to FLUKA Trial Version, without any compensation being due by either Licensor to the Licensee. 22. In any case of termination of the Agreement the license shall lapse and the Licensee shall uninstall and delete all copies of the Software, including the user documentation. 23. In case of termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever and at the request of either Party, the other Party shall promptly return any confidential information belonging to the first Party. 24.
