Product License Agreement / EULA and Warranty Terms
Product License Agreement
The parties to this agreement are you (the end-customer) and Fortinet, Inc. ("Fortinet"). CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING LEGAL
AGREEMENT (THE OR THIS “AGREEMENT” OR “EULA”). USE OR INSTALLATION OF FORTINET PRODUCT(S) AND ANY UPDATES
THERETO, INCLUDING HARDWARE APPLIANCE PRODUCTS, SOFTWARE AND FIRMWARE INCLUDED THEREIN BY FORTINET, AND
STAND-ALONE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS SOLD BY FORTINET (TOGETHER, THE "PRODUCTS") CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE BY YOU OF THE
TERMS IN THIS AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED OR UPDATED FROM TIME TO TIME IN FORTINET’S DISCRETION BY FORTINET PUBLISHING
AN AMENDED OR UPDATED VERSION. FORTINET SHALL NOT BE BOUND BY ANY ADDITIONAL AND/OR CONFLICTING PROVISIONS IN
ANY ORDER, RELEASE, ACCEPTANCE OR OTHER WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE OR OTHER WRITTEN OR VERBAL COMMUNICATION
UNLESS EXPRESSLY AGREED TO IN A WRITING SIGNED BY THE GENERAL COUNSEL OF FORTINET. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE
TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT START THE INSTALLATION PROCESS OR USE THE PRODUCTS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE
TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY, AND IN NO EVENT LATER THAN FIVE (5) CALENDAR DAYS AFTER YOUR
RECEIPT OF THE PRODUCT, IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY FORTINET LEGAL LEGAL@FORTINET.COM OF REQUESTED EULA CHANGES.
1. License Grant.
This is a license agreement between you and Fortinet, not a sales agreement. The term "Software", as used throughout this
Agreement, includes all Fortinet and third party firmware and software provided to you with, or incorporated into, Fortinet appliances
and any stand-alone software provided to you by Fortinet, with the exception of any open source software contained in Fortinet’s
Products which is discussed in detail in section 15 below, and the term “Software” includes any accompanying documentation, any
updates and enhancements of the software or firmware provided to you by Fortinet, at its option. Fortinet grants to you a non-
transferable (except as provided in section 5 ("Transfer") and section 15 ("Open Source Software") below), non-exclusive, revocable
(in the event of your failure to comply with these terms, in the event of termination, or in the event Fortinet is not properly paid for
the applicable Product) license to use the Software solely for your internal business purposes (provided, if (a) agreed by Fortinet in
writing, (b) you are authorized by Fortinet in writing to provide managed service provider services (“MSSP”) to your end-customers,
and (c) you pay for an MSSP license, then you may use the Software and/or Software embedded in Fortinet Hardware to provide
those services, subject to the other restrictions in this Agreement), in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement and
subject to any further restrictions in Fortinet documentation (including license term restrictions), and solely on the Fortinet appliance,
or, in the case of blades, CPUs, platform, devices or databases, on the single blade, CPU, platform, device or database on which
Fortinet installed the Software, or, for stand-alone Software, solely on a single computer running a validly-licensed copy of the
operating system for which the Software was designed unless and except set forth in the published documentation otherwise. For
clarity, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all licenses of Software to be installed on blades, CPUs, platforms, devices or
databases are licensed per blade, solely for one blade and not for multiple blades that may be installed in a chassis, per CPU, per
platform, per device, or per database basis, up to the blade, CPU, platform, device, database number defined in the license and as
applicable and in accordance with the documentation. The Software is "in use" on any appliances, blades, CPUs, platforms, devices, or
databases when it is loaded into temporary memory (i.e. RAM), accessed, downloaded, installed, or used on an appliance, blade, CPU,
platform, device, or database. You agree that, except for the limited, specific license rights granted in this section 1, you receive no
license rights to the Software.
2. Limitation on Use.
You are prohibited from and may not attempt to, and, if you are a corporation, you are responsible to prevent your employees and
contractors from attempting to: (a) modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, create derivative works based on,
sublicense, or distribute the Software; (b) rent or lease any rights in the Software in any form to any third party or make the Software
available or accessible to third parties in any other manner (except as expressly permitted for MSSP partners); (c) transfer assign or
sublicense right to any other person or entity (except as provided in section 5): (d) remove any proprietary notice, labels, or marks on
the Software, Products, and containers; (e) use the Software to determine, or disclose the results of, any benchmarking or
performance measurements; (f) interfere with a platform for use of the Software; (g) use the Software on a device not owned and
controlled by you; (h) use automated means to access online portions of the platform for the Software; (i) use the Software for third-
party training, commercial time-sharing or service bureau use or (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement) use the Software to
provide services to third parties, (j) share non-public features or content of the software with any third party; (k) access the software
in order to build a competitive product or service, to build a product using similar ideas, features, functions or graphics of the
software, or to copy any ideas, features, functions or graphics of the software; or, (l) engage in web scraping or data scraping on or
related to the software, including without limitation, collection of information through any software that simulates human activity or
any bot or web crawler.
3. Proprietary Rights.
All rights (including copyrights, trade secret, patent and other intellectual property rights), title, interest in and to the Software and
any Product, and any copy thereof remain with Fortinet. You acknowledge that no title or other intellectual property rights in the
Software or other Products is transferred to you and you will not acquire any rights to the Software or other Products except for the
specific limited license as expressly set forth in section 1 (“License Grant”) above. You expressly agree and acknowledge that Fortinet
owns, retains, and shall retain all intellectual property rights in and to, and you have no intellectual property rights in and to, the
Products and the Software other than the License Grant. You agree to keep confidential all Fortinet confidential information and only
to use such information for the purposes for which Fortinet disclosed it.
4. Term and Termination.
The term of the license is the shorter of (a) the term as set forth in the ordering documents, other Fortinet documentation, or per
Fortinet practices or policies (such as with evaluation or beta licenses or subscription or other term licenses) and (b) for the duration
of Fortinet's copyright in the Software. Fortinet may terminate this Agreement, and the licenses and other rights herein, immediately
without notice if you breach or fail to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or for other reasons as stated in
Fortinet’s other documentation. You agree that, upon such termination, you will cease using the Software and any Product and either
destroy all copies of the Fortinet documentation or return all materials to Fortinet.
5. Transfer.
If you are a Fortinet contracted and authorized reseller or distributor of Products, you may transfer (not rent or lease unless
specifically agreed to in writing by Fortinet) the Software to one end user on a permanent basis, provided that: (i) you ensure that
your customer and the end user receives a copy of this Agreement, is bound by its terms and conditions, and, by selling the Product or
Software, you hereby agree to enforce the terms in this Agreement against such end user, (ii) you at all times comply with all
applicable United States export control laws and regulations, and (iii) you agree to refund any fees paid to you by an end user who
purchased Product(s) from you but does not agree to the terms contained in this Agreement and therefore wishes to return the
Product(s) as provided for in this Agreement. Further, if you are a non-authorized reseller of Products and Services, you are not
authorized to sell Product(s), Software or Services, but, regardless, by selling Product(s), Software or Services, you hereby agree you
are bound by the restrictions and obligations herein and are bound to: (i) ensure that your customer and the end user receive a copy
of this Agreement and are bound in full by all restrictions and obligations herein (ii) enforce the restrictions and obligations in this
Agreement against such customer and/or end user, (iii) comply with all applicable United States export control laws and regulations
and all other applicable laws, and (iv) refund any fees paid to you by a customer and/or end user who purchased Product(s) from you
but does not agree to the restrictions and obligations contained in this Agreement and therefore wishes to return the Product(s) as
provided for in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, distributors, resellers and other Fortinet partners (a) are
not agents of Fortinet and (b) are not authorized to bind Fortinet in any way. Fortinet’s license, warranty, and support is only available
for Products that you purchased directly from an authorized Fortinet channel partner. Products not purchased from an authorized
Fortinet channel partner are not eligible, will not be supported, and may be blocked from registration.
6. Limited Warranty.
Fortinet provides this limited warranty for its product only to the single end-user person or entity that originally purchased the
Product from Fortinet or its authorized reseller or distributor and paid for such Product. The warranty is only valid for Products which
are properly registered on Fortinet’s Support Website, https://support.fortinet.com, or such other website as provided by Fortinet, or
for which the warranty otherwise starts according to Fortinet’s policies, and any support is only valid for products properly purchased
through authorized distributors and resellers. The warranty periods discussed below will start according to Fortinet’s policies posted
at http://www.fortinet.com/aboutus/legal.html or such other website as provided by Fortinet. It is the Fortinet distributor’s and
reseller’s responsibility to make clear to the end user the date the product was originally shipped from Fortinet, and it is the end
user’s responsibility to understand the original ship date from the party from which the end user purchased the product. All warranty
claims must be submitted in writing to Fortinet before the expiration of the warranty term or such claims are waived in full. Fortinet
provides no warranty for any beta, donation or evaluation Products. Fortinet warrants that the hardware portion of the Products
("Hardware") will be free from material defects in workmanship as compared to the functional specifications for the period set forth
as follows and applicable to the Product type ("Hardware Warranty Period"): (a) a three hundred sixty-five (365) day limited warranty
for the Hardware products; (b) for FortiAP, the warranty herein shall last from the start of the warranty period as discussed above
until five (5) years following the product announced end-of-life date Hardware; (c) for FortiSwitch Hardware appliance products other
than the FortiSwitch-5000 series, the warranty herein shall last from the start of the warranty period as discussed above until five (5)
years following the product announced end-of-life date Hardware. Fortinet's sole obligation shall be to repair or offer replacement
Hardware for the defective Hardware at no charge to the original owner. This obligation is exclusive of transport fees, labor, de-
installation, installation, reconfiguration, or return shipment and handling fees and costs, and Fortinet shall have no obligation related
thereto. Such repair or replacement will be rendered by Fortinet at an authorized Fortinet service facility as determined by Fortinet.
The replacement Hardware need not be new or of an identical make, model, or part; Fortinet may, in its discretion, replace the
defective Hardware (or any part thereof) with any reconditioned Product that Fortinet reasonably determines is substantially
equivalent (or superior) in all material respects to the defective Hardware. The Hardware Warranty Period for the repaired or
replacement Hardware shall be for the greater of the remaining Hardware Warranty Period or ninety days from the delivery of the
repaired or replacement Hardware. If Fortinet determines in its reasonable discretion that a material defect is incapable of correction
or that it is not practical to repair or replace defective Hardware, the price paid by the original purchaser for the defective Hardware
will be refunded by Fortinet upon return to Fortinet of the defective Hardware. All Hardware (or part thereof) that is replaced by
Fortinet, or for which the purchase price is refunded, shall become the property of Fortinet upon replacement or refund. Fortinet
warrants that Software as initially shipped by Fortinet will substantially conform to Fortinet's then-current functional specifications for
the Software, as set forth in the applicable documentation for a period of ninety (90) days ("Software Warranty Period"), if the
Software is properly installed on approved Hardware and operated as contemplated in its documentation. Fortinet's sole obligation
shall be to repair or offer replacement Software for the non-conforming Software with software that substantially conforms to
Fortinet's functional specifications. This obligation is exclusive of transport fees, labor, de-installation, installation, reconfiguration, or
return shipment and handling fees and costs, and Fortinet shall have no obligation related thereto. Except as otherwise agreed by
Fortinet in writing, the warranty replacement Software is provided only to the original licensee, and is subject to the terms and
conditions of the license granted by Fortinet for the Software. The Software Warranty Period shall extend for an additional ninety (90)
days after any warranty replacement software is delivered. If Fortinet determines in its reasonable discretion that a material non-
conformance is incapable of correction or that it is not practical to repair or replace the non-conforming Software, the price paid by
the original licensee for the non-conforming Software will be refunded by Fortinet; provided that the non-conforming Software (and
all copies thereof) is first returned to Fortinet. The license granted respecting any Software for which a refund is given automatically
terminates immediately upon refund. For purpose of the above hardware and software warranties, the term “functional
specificationsmeans solely those specifications authorized and published by Fortinet that expressly state in such specifications that
they are the functional specifications referred to in this section 6 of this Agreement, and, in the event no such specifications are
provided to you with the Software or Hardware, there shall be no warranty on such Software.
7. Disclaimer of Other Warranties and Restrictions.
EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY SPECIFIED IN SECTION 6 ABOVE, THE PRODUCT AND SOFTWARE ARE PROVIDED "AS-IS"
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY, IMPLIED OR EXPRESS
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR WARRANTY FOR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. IF ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED IN ANY TERRITORY WHERE A PRODUCT IS SOLD, THE DURATION OF SUCH IMPLIED
WARRANTY SHALL BE LIMITED TO NINETY (90) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL SHIPMENT FROM FORTINET. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY
COVERED UNDER THE LIMITED WARRANTY PROVIDED HEREIN, THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY, SELECTION AND PERFORMANCE
OF THE PRODUCT IS WITH THE PURCHASER OF THE PRODUCT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, THE HARDWARE
WARRANTY PERIOD DISCUSSED ABOVE DOES NOT APPLY TO CERTAIN FORTINET PRODUCTS, INCLUDING FORTITOKEN WHICH HAS A
365 DAY WARRANTY FROM THE DATE OF SHIPMENT FROM FORTINET’S FACILITIES, AND THE SOFTWARE WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY
TO CERTAIN FORTINET PRODUCTS. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT NO VENDOR CAN ASSURE COMPLETE SECURITY
AND NOTHING HEREIN OR ELSEWHERE SHALL BE DEEMED TO IMPLY A SECURITY GUARANTEE OR ASSURANCE, AND FORTINET
DISCLAIMS LIABILITY REGARDING YOUR WEB BROWSER’S REQUIREMENTS OR ANY THIRD PARTY DEVICE OR APPLIANCE USED TO
OPERATE THE SOFTWARE.
The warranty in Section 6 above does not apply if the Software, Product or any other equipment upon which the Software is
authorized to be used (a) has been altered, except by Fortinet or its authorized representative, (b) has not been installed, operated,
repaired, updated to the latest version, or maintained in accordance with instructions supplied by Fortinet, (c) has been subjected to
abnormal physical or electrical stress, misuse, negligence, or accident; (d) is licensed for beta, evaluation, donation, testing or
demonstration purposes or for which Fortinet does not charge a purchase price or license fee; or (e) is procured from a non-
authorized reseller or non-authorized distributor. In the case of beta, testing, evaluation, donation or free Software or Product, the
end user acknowledges and agrees that such Software or Product may contain bugs or errors and could cause system failures, data
loss and other issues, and the end user agrees that such Software or Product is provided “as-is” without any warranty whatsoever, and
Fortinet disclaims any warranty or liability whatsoever. An end user’s use of evaluation or beta Software or Product is limited to thirty
(30) days from original shipment unless otherwise agreed in writing by Fortinet. For clarity, notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
all sales are final and no provision in this EULA entitles you to return Products, other than as expressly set forth herein.
8. Governing Law.
Any disputes arising out of this Agreement or Fortinet’s limited warranty shall be governed by the laws of the state of California,
without regard to the conflict of laws principles. In the event of any disputes arising out of this Agreement or Fortinet’s limited
warranty, the parties submit to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Santa Clara County, California, as applicable,
and agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be determined in the federal and state courts
located in Santa Clara County, California, as applicable.
9. Limitation of Liability.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, FORTINET IS NOT LIABLE
UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR ANY
LOSS OF USE OF THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE OR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, WHETHER DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF PROFIT, LOSS OF
OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OR DAMAGE RELATED TO USE OF THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE IN CONNECTION WITH HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES, DE-
INSTALLATION AND INSTALLATION FEES AND COSTS, DAMAGE TO PERSONAL OR REAL PROPERTY, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER

CONTAINED IN, STORED ON, OR INTEGRATED WITH ANY PRODUCT INCLUDING ANY PRODUCT RETURNED TO FORTINET FOR
WARRANTY SERVICE) RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THE PRODUCT, RELATING TO WARRANTY SERVICE, OR ARISING OUT OF ANY
BREACH OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY IN SECTION 6 ABOVE, EVEN IF FORTINET HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. THE SOLE REMEDY FOR A BREACH OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY IS, AT FORTINET’S SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION:
REPAIR, REPLACEMENT, OR REFUND OF THE DEFECTIVE OR NON-CONFORMING PRODUCT AS SPECIFICALLY STATED IN SECTION 6
ABOVE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY END-CUSTOMER REMEDIES UNDER THIS EULA AND ANY SUPPORT
AGREEMENT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID TO FORTINET FOR THE SPECIFIC APPLICABLE DEFECTIVE OR NON-CONFORMING PRODUCT
AT ISSUE.
10. Compliance with Laws, including Import/Export Laws and FCPA.
You are advised that the Products may be subject to the United States Export Administration Regulations and other import and export
laws; diversion contrary to United States law and regulation is prohibited. You agree to comply with all applicable international and
national laws that apply to the Products as well as end user, end-use, and destination restrictions issued by U.S. and other
governments. For additional information on U.S. export controls see https://www.bis.doc.gov. Fortinet assumes no responsibility or
liability for your failure to obtain any necessary import and export approvals and licenses, and Fortinet reserves the right to terminate
or suspend shipments, services and support in the event Fortinet has a reasonable basis to suspect any import or export violation.
You represent that neither the United States Bureau of Industry and Security nor any other governmental agency has issued sanctions
against you or otherwise suspended, revoked or denied your export privileges. You agree not to use or transfer the Products for any
use relating to nuclear, chemical or biological weapons, or missile technology, unless authorized by the United States Government by
regulation or specific written license. Additionally, you agree not to directly or indirectly export, import or transmit the Products
contrary to the laws or regulations of any other governmental entity that has jurisdiction over such export, import, transmission or
use. Furthermore, you hereby agree that, for any orders that you place with Fortinet whereby any legal or regulatory requirements
may apply to Fortinet such as requirements related to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, or Buy American Act, or the Trade
Agreements Act: you are responsible to ensure the Purchase Order submitted to Fortinet by you and/or any partners clearly states the
specific requirement in writing, or otherwise Fortinet is not bound by any such requirements. You represent that you understand, and
you hereby agree to comply with, all applicable laws including but not limited to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act . You
represent that you hereby agree that you and your employees have not accepted, and will not accept, anything of value, including
money, meals, entertainment, paid-for travel, beta, testing, evaluation, donation or free Products and/or related services, or anything
else of value, in exchange for Fortinet maintaining current business or for new business opportunities. You represent and warrant to
Fortinet that you and your employees, consultants, agents and representatives will not use Fortinet’s products and services to engage
in, or support in any way, violations or abuses of human rights, including those involving censorship, surveillance, detention, or
excessive use of force. You agree you and your employees will be responsible to comply in full with all laws and policies applicable to
any and all dealings with Fortinet in general and its distributors, resellers and partners.
11. U.S. Government End Users.
The Software and accompanying documentation are deemed to be "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer
software documentation," respectively, pursuant to DFAR Section 227.7202 and FAR Section 12.212, as applicable. Any use,
modification, reproduction, release, performance, display or disclosure of the Software and accompanying documentation by the
United States Government shall be governed solely by the terms of this Agreement and shall be prohibited except to the extent

12. Tax Liability.
You agree to be responsible for payment of any sales or use taxes imposed at any time on this transaction.
13. General Provisions.
Except as specifically permitted and required in section 5 (“Transfer”) above, you agree not to assign this Agreement or transfer any of
the rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Fortinet. This Agreement shall be binding upon,
and inure to the benefit of, the successors and permitted assigns of the parties. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sales of Goods is expressly excluded. This Agreement and other Fortinet agreements may be amended or supplemented
only by a writing that refers explicitly to the agreement signed on behalf of both parties, or, for this Agreement, as otherwise
expressly provided in the lead-in above Section 1 above, provided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary and except for this
Agreement which may be amended or updated as expressly provided in the lead-in above Section 1 above, for any amendment or
other agreement to be binding on Fortinet, such amendment or other agreement must be signed by Fortinet’s General Counsel. No
waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce rights nor effective unless in a writing signed on behalf of the party against
whom the waiver is asserted. If any part of this Agreement is found unenforceable, that part will be enforced to the maximum extent
permitted and the remainder shall continue in full force and effect. You acknowledge that you have read this Agreement, understand
it, and agree to be bound by its terms and conditions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this EULA constitutes the entire
agreement between Fortinet and its end-customers and supersedes any and all prior representations or conflicting provisions, such as
limitations of liability, warranties, or otherwise in any and all purported end customer agreements, whether entered into now or in
the future. In the event of a conflict between this EULA and another agreement, this EULA shall prevail unless the conflicting
agreement expressly states that it replaces this EULA, expressly referring to this EULA, and is agreed to in writing by authorized
representatives of the parties (which, in the case of Fortinet, is Fortinet’s General Counsel).
14. Privacy.
You agree to Fortinet’s collection, use, disclosure, protection and transfer of your information, as set forth in the Fortinet privacy

information to send information regarding Fortinet products and services; and (b) Fortinet’s disclosure of your information to provide
assistance to law enforcement, governmental agencies and other authorities or to allow Fortinet to protect its Customers’ and/or end
users’ rights.
15. Open Source Software.
Fortinet’s products may include software modules that are licensed (or sublicensed) to the user under the GNU General Public
License, Version 2, of June 1991 (“GPL”) or GNU Lesser General Public License, Version 2.1, of February 1999 (“LGPL”) or other open
source software licenses which, among other rights, permit the user to use, copy, modify and redistribute modules, or portions
thereof, and may also require attribution disclosures and access to the source code ("Open Source Software"). The GPL requires that
for any Open Source Software covered under the GPL, which is distributed to someone in an executable binary format, that the source
code also be made available to those users. For any Open Source Software covered under the GPL, the source code is made available
on this CD or download package. If any Open Source Software licenses require that Fortinet provide rights to use, copy or modify any
Open Source Software program that are broader than the rights granted in this agreement, then such rights shall take precedence
over the rights and restrictions herein. Fortinet will provide, for a charge reflecting our standard distribution costs, the complete
machine-readable copy of the modified software modules. To obtain a complete machine-readable copy, please send your written
request, along with a check in the amount of US $25.00, to General Public License Source Code Request, Fortinet, Inc., 899 Kifer Rd,
Sunnyvale, CA 94086 USA. To receive the modified software modules, you must also include the following information: (a) Name, (b)
Address, (c) Telephone number, (d) E-mail Address, (e) Product purchased (if applicable), (f) Product Serial Number (if applicable). All
open source software modules are licensed free of charge. There is no warranty for these modules, to the extent permitted by
applicable law. The copyright holders provide these software modules “AS-IS” without warranty of any kind, either expressed or
implied. In no event will the copyright holder for the open source software be liable to you for damages, including any special,
incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use the software modules, even if such holder has been
advised of the possibility of such damages. A full copy of this license, including additional open source software license disclosures and
third party license disclosures applicable to certain Fortinet products, may obtained by contacting Fortinet’s Legal Department at

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be
distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and
a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language.
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The
act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a
work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on
what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided
that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty;
keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and
copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these
conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any
change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program
or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for
such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice
and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the
program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is
interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an
announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the
Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its
terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this
License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of
who wrote it.. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you;
rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In
addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the
Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the
terms of Sections1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to
be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative
is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with
such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work,
complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files,
plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source
code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a
designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the
source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights
under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their
licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission
to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this
License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your
acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or
works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a
license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may
not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for
enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent
issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of
this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License
would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is
intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity
of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system,
which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of
software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to
decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical
distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time.
Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or
concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License
which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or
of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this
License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write
to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving
the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM,
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE
COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT
HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED
ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR
THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH
HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright
holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also
called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you".
A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application
programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work
based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing
the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language.
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)
"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete
source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the
scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The
act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents
constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true
depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium,
provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of
warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of
this License along with the Library. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your
option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and
copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these
conditions:
a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any
change.
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that
uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to
ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs
whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the
Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its
terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this
License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of
who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you;
rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library. In
addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library)
on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the
Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General
Public License, version 2 instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public
License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these
notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License
applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. This option is useful when you wish to copy
part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable
form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-
readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used
for software interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to
copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties
are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being
compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the
Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library
(because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered
by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work
may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small
inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a
derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of
Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the
Library itself.
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to
produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the
terms permit modification of the work for your own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications. You
must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices,
you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of
this License. Also, you must do one of these things:
a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable
linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source
code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified
Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be
able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run
time a copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library functions into the
executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the
modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in
Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the
above specified materials from the same place.
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed
for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so
on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. It may
happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an
executable that you distribute.
7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other
library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution
of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two
things:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License.
Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate
your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not
have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission
to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this
License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your
acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or
works based on it.
10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license
from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may
not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for
enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to
patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the
conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to
satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the
Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this
License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is
intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity
of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system
which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of

section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical
distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public License from time
to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or
concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a version number of this License
which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or
of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license version number,
you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible
with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation,
write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two
goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software
generally.
15. The warranty disclaimer contained in Sections 11 and 12 of the preceding GPL License is incorporated herein.
