The supplier grants to BOSCH a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable right to use the Licensed Software in accordance with the Terms and Conditions set forth below.

Unless explicitly otherwise agreed in writing in the respective individual transaction agreement, the right of use shall not be restricted to a specific production location, a specific product portfolio (e.g. project or platform) of BOSCH, but shall encompass the use of the Licensed Software for and in connection with all existing and/or future BOSCH Products.

4. Use tied to specific hardware

Insofar as the Licensed Software shall only be used with specific hardware in accordance with the agreement, or if the functionality thereof can only be used in connection with specific hardware which the supplier supplies to BOSCH, the rights of use defined in sections 1 and 2 shall apply only in connection with the respective hardware of the supplier.

10. Test recognition

The supplier shall ensure that the licensed software does not contain any functions which, without external interference, enable the recognition of a standardized procedure for evaluating product characteristics (“Test situation”), which is carried out by authorities or third parties recognized by law or through market recognition. The supplier shall also ensure that the licensed software does not contain any functions that optimize the product characteristics with regard to test situations. The functions mentioned above are only permitted insofar as they are necessary in terms of state-of-the-art requirements, are legally permissible and are explicitly agreed with us as part of the licensed software.

11. Miscellaneous

The termination of an individual transaction agreement (for whatever legal reason) shall be without prejudice to any rights of use granted to customers of BOSCH and/or any of the customer’s affiliates and end users that were granted up to the termination thereof.
