1. License Grant.
This is a license, not a sales agreement, between you and Fortinet. The term “Software”, as used throughout this Agreement, includes all Fortinet and third party rmware 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 rmware
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 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 substantial portion of your business is to provide managed service provider services to your end-customers, you may use the Software embedded in FortiGate
and supporting hardware appliances 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, and solely on the Fortinet appliance, or, in the case of blades, CPUs or databases, on the single blade, CPU 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, or, in the case of blades,
CPUs or databases, on a single blade, CPU or database. For clarity, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all licenses of Software to be installed on blades, CPUs or databases are licensed
on a per single blade, solely for one blade and not for multiple blades that may be installed in a chassis, per single CPU or per single database basis, as applicable. The Software is “in use” on
any Fortinet appliances when it is loaded into temporary memory (i.e. RAM). You agree that, except for the limited, specic license rights granted in this section 1, you receive no license rights
to the Software.

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; (c) except as provided in section 5, transfer assign or sublicense right to any other person or entity, or (d) remove any proprietary notice, labels,
or marks on the Software, Products, and containers.

(“License Grant”) above.
4. Term and Termination.
Except for evaluation and beta licenses or other licenses where the term of the license is limited per the evaluation/beta or other agreement or in the ordering documents, the term of the license
is 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. 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. The provisions of this Agreement, other than the license granted in section 1 (“License Grant”), shall survive termination.
5. Transfer.
If you are a Fortinet contracted and authorized reseller or distributor of Products, you may transfer (not rent or lease unless specically 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

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
