software development kits, including the DLSS SDK, NGX SDK, RTXGI SDK, RTXDI SDK and/or NRD SDK, if and when made
available to you under this license (in each case, the “SDK”).
This license can be accepted only by an adult of legal age of majority in the country in which the SDK is used. If you are
under the legal age of majority, you must ask your parent or legal guardian to consent to this license. If you are entering
this license on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have legal authority and “you” will mean
the entity you represent.
By using the SDK, you affirm that you have reached the legal age of majority, you accept the terms of this license, and you
take legal and financial responsibility for the actions of your permitted users.
You agree to use the SDK only for purposes that are permitted by (a) this license, and (b) any applicable law, regulation or
generally accepted practices or guidelines in the relevant jurisdictions.
1. LICENSE. Subject to the terms of this license and the terms in the supplement attached, NVIDIA hereby grants you a non-
exclusive, non-transferable license, without the right to sublicense (except as expressly provided in this license) to:
a. Install and use the SDK,
