Description: This firmware fixes a few issues with Windows and Linux, however, the firmware updater runs only under Windows. macOS loads virtual firmware as part of its initialization of the Solo10G, so in most cases, it generally does not matter which version of firmware is programmed into the Solo10G when you are using macOS. If you have initialization issues that cannot be otherwise explained, consider updating the firmware.

If Licensee is a European Union ("EU") resident, information necessary to achieve interoperability of the Deliverables with other programs within the meaning of the EU Directive on the Legal Protection of Computer Programs is available from Marvell upon written request. If and to the extent that any of the Deliverables are designed to be compliant with any published standard (including DOCSIS, HomePNA, IEEE, and ITU standards), Licensee may not make any modifications that would cause the applicable Deliverables or Licensee's Product to become incompatible with such standard. The Deliverables are not designed, intended, or certified for use in components of systems intended for the operation of weapons, weapons systems, nuclear installations, means of mass transportation, aviation, medical systems providing life support, devices, implants, or equipment, pollution control, hazardous substances management, or for any other dangerous application in which the failure of the Deliverables could create a situation where bodily injury or death may occur. Licensee understands that use of the Deliverables in any such application is solely at Licensee's risk.
3.2 Marvell and its suppliers own all right, title and interest in and to the Deliverables and all Intellectual Property rights therein. Licensee will not remove any copyright or patent marking notice from the Deliverables. Licensee agrees that each copy of Licensee's Software that includes all or any portion of the Deliverables or Derivatives thereof will be accompanied by and subject to a Binary Code-limited software license, the terms and conditions of which will be at least as protective of the Deliverables and Derivatives thereof as the terms and conditions Licensee uses for its own software products and the terms and conditions governing this Agreement. Licensee expressly agrees not to distribute any Deliverables or Derivatives thereof to any third party that has not accepted the terms of such Binary Code-limited software license. Ownership of the Open Source Software will be subject to and in accordance with the applicable Open Source Software license. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement does not grant Licensee any rights under any of Marvell's Intellectual Property rights or trademarks. Marvell retains all rights not explicitly granted herein.

3.4 Notwithstanding Section 2.1, no license is granted hereunder with respect to any Third Party Deliverables. Licensee is solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining, at its sole expense and cost, licenses to any Third Party Deliverables, provided that Marvell shall use commercially reasonable efforts to identify any such Third Party Deliverables, such as in the text files, file headers, release notes or other documentation associated therewith. Marvell may from time to time provide Licensee with an addendum of applicable or optional Third Party Deliverables that includes supplemental terms and conditions. Licensee's access to or use of such Third Party Deliverables automatically binds Licensee to such supplemental terms and conditions. The restrictions on Licensee's ability to exploit the Deliverables as set forth in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 and Marvell's rights under Section 3.3 shall apply to the Third Party Deliverables, unless such restrictions and rights conflict with the applicable license terms for the Third Party Deliverables.

Licensee may sublicense its rights under subsections (i) and (ii) of Section 2.1 of this Agreement solely to its authorized subcontractors working on site at Licensee's premises, provided that (i) Licensee first requires each such subcontractor to sign a written agreement with Licensee binding the subcontractor to the same restrictions concerning the Deliverables and Derivatives thereof as are contained in this Agreement; and (ii) Licensee remains fully liable to Marvell for the actions and inactions of each such subcontractor. Licensee will notify Marvell in writing of its intention to provide access to the Deliverables to subcontractors and of any breach by a subcontractor of its obligations under this Section 5.

Except as expressly provided in Section 5, Licensee will not disclose to any third party, or use in any manner not expressly permitted herein, any Confidential Information. Licensee agrees to take all reasonable measures to protect Confidential Information and prevent unauthorized disclosure, which measures will be at least as stringent as those measures Licensee takes to protect its own confidential information of like kind. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, Licensee will restrict access to Confidential Information, including but not limited to the Deliverables and Third Party Deliverables, to Licensee employees and individual third party contractors who have complied with the requirements of Section 5 who have a "need-to-know" to exercise the license rights granted to Licensee. Notwithstanding the above, all Confidential Information, and any documents and other tangible objects containing or representing Confidential Information and all copies thereof will be and remain the exclusive property of Marvell, its affiliates and their respective suppliers.

13.6 If a court holds that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, the court will modify the provision or part to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if it cannot be made valid and enforceable, the parties intend that the court will sever and delete the provision from this Agreement. Any change to or deletion of a provision of this Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement, which will continue in full force and effect.
13.7 This Agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understanding, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written or oral, with respect to such subject matter.
