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 unless and except set forth
in the published documentation otherwise, 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, (d) remove any proprietary notice, labels, or

to, the Products and the Software other than the License Grant. You agree to keep condential all Fortinet condential information and only to use such information for the purposes for which

Except for evaluation and beta licenses or other licenses, such as subscription licenses, where the term of the license is limited per the evaluation/beta or other agreement, in the ordering
documents or otherwise, 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,

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 specically agreed to in writing by Fortinet) the Software to one end

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. 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, for any
spare parts not purchased directly from Fortinet by the end-user, for any accessories, or for any stand-alone software. Fortinet warrants that the hardware portion of the Products, including
spare parts unless noted otherwise (“Hardware”) will be free from material defects in workmanship as compared to the functional specications for the period set forth as follows and appli-
cable to the Product type (“Hardware Warranty Period”): a three hundred sixty-ve (365) day limited warranty for the Hardware excluding spare parts, power supplies, and accessories (provided,
solely with respect to FortiAP and Meru AP indoor Wi-Fi access point Hardware appliance products and FortiSwitch Hardware appliance products other than the FortiSwitch-5000 series (for
both excluding spare parts, power supplies, and accessories), the warranty herein shall last from the start of the warranty period as discussed above until ve (5) years following the product
announced end-of-life date), and, for spare parts, power supplies, and accessories, solely a ninety (90) days limited warranty. 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, reconguration, 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 recondi-
tioned 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 the software as initially shipped with the Hardware Products will substantially conform to Fortinet’s then
current functional specications 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 specications. This obligation is exclusive of transport fees, labor, de-installation, installation, reconguration, 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 rst 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 specications” means solely those specications authorized and published by Fortinet that expressly state in such specications that
they are the functional specications referred to in this section 6 of this Agreement, and, in the event no such specications are provided to you with the Software or Hardware, there shall be no
warranty on such Software.
