1 SUBJECT OF AGREEMENT. "Product", as referred to in this Agreement, shall

allows for creating multiple virtual computers, each with different
operating systems ("Guest Computers"), on a physical computer with a
specific operating system ("Host Computer"), to allow for installing and
executing these Guest Computers simultaneously. The Product consists
of executable files in machine code for the Solaris, Windows, Linux,
and MacOSX operating systems as well as other data files as required
by the executable files at run-time and documentation in electronic
form. The Product includes all documentation and updates provided to
You by Oracle under this Agreement and the terms of this Agreement will
apply to all such documentation and updates unless a different license
is provided with an update or documentation.

2 GRANT OF LICENSE. (1) Oracle grants you a personal, non-exclusive,
non-transferable, limited license without fees to reproduce, install,
execute, and use internally the Product a Host Computer for your Personal

the Product on the same Host Computer where you installed it yourself and
that no more than one client connect to that Host Computer at a time for
the purpose of displaying Guest Computers remotely. "Educational use" is
any use in an academic institution (schools, colleges and universities,
by teachers and students). "Evaluation" means testing the Product for a

(2) The "VirtualBox Guest Additions" are a set of drivers and

to install, execute, copy and redistribute a) unmodified copies of the
ISO installation medium of the VirtualBox Guest Additions as shipped
with the Product and b) the VirtualBox Guest Additions together with
the Guest Computer into which they have been installed.

Agreement will terminate immediately without notice from Oracle if you
materially breach it or take any action in derogation of Oracle's and/or
its licensors' rights to Product. Oracle may terminate this Agreement
should any Product become, or in Oracle's reasonable opinion likely to
become, the subject of a claim of intellectual property infringement or
trade secret misappropriation. Upon termination, you will cease use of,
and destroy, Product and confirm compliance in writing to Oracle. Sections
3-9, inclusive, will survive termination of the Agreement.

EVEN IF ORACLE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. In
no event will Oracle's liability to you, whether in contract, tort
(including negligence), or otherwise, exceed the amount paid by you for
Product under this Agreement. Some states do not allow the exclusion of
incidental or consequential damages, so some of the terms above may not
be applicable to you.
