Terms of Use
The rules for using garmolabs.com, and how licensing, pricing and disputes work.
Agreement to these terms
This website, garmolabs.com, is operated by Garmo Labs, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Garmo Labs”, “we”, “us” or “our”). These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the website and its content. By using the website you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the website.
If you use the website for an organization, you confirm that you may accept these Terms for it, and “you” includes that organization. You must be at least 18 years old to use the website.
Using the website
We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to view and use the website, and to download and share its public briefs, catalogs and examples within your organization, to evaluate our products. You must not:
- copy, modify, redistribute, sell or republish website content except as these Terms allow;
- scrape or harvest the website beyond what robots.txt allows, or use its content to train machine-learning models without our written permission;
- probe, scan or test the security of the website except under Reporting security issues, or bypass any access control;
- interfere with or overload the website, or send spam or malicious code through its forms;
- misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or use the website unlawfully.
Information on the website
Website content describes our architectures, IP, software, systems, evidence and services for general information. It is not an offer capable of acceptance, a warranty, or professional, engineering or legal advice.
- Architectural visuals are concepts. They are not die photographs, floorplans or measured-silicon results unless stated.
- Evidence, qualification and readiness statements describe the specific records, checks and boundaries stated with them. They are not foundry signoff, certification or a guarantee of results in your design or process.
- Benchmarks and examples reflect the inputs and conditions stated; illustrative workflows are not customer case studies.
- Prices and availability may change until confirmed in a written agreement.
We work to keep the website accurate, but it may contain errors, which we may correct at any time.
Licensing, orders and services
No license, purchase or service is created by browsing, downloading a brief, adding a product to a comparison or submitting an enquiry. Products, releases, rights, deliverables, support and fees are set only by a written agreement, order or statement of work signed or accepted by Garmo Labs (an “Agreement”). If an Agreement conflicts with these Terms, the Agreement controls.
- Fees and taxes are as stated in the Agreement and exclude taxes, which you pay except taxes on our income.
- Renewal: a subscription renews automatically only if the Agreement says so; it will state the term, price and how to cancel before you agree.
- Cancellation: you may cancel renewal at any time by emailing legal@garmolabs.com; it takes effect at the end of the current paid period.
- Refunds: fees for a period that has started are not refundable unless the Agreement or law requires otherwise.
Intellectual property and trademarks
The website and its content, including text, graphics, artwork, documents and software, belong to Garmo Labs, LLC or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
Garmo Labs, SpinForge, their logos and our product names are trademarks of Garmo Labs, LLC. Other names and marks on the website, including those of foundries, process design kits, EDA tools, hardware makers and standards bodies, belong to their owners and are used only to identify their products. Their use does not imply endorsement, sponsorship or affiliation.
Feedback and enquiries
We may use suggestions you send us without obligation. Unless we have signed a confidentiality agreement with you, information sent through the public contact form is not treated as confidential; please do not send design files, confidential models or trade secrets that way.
Export controls and sanctions
Semiconductor IP, design data, software and technical information may be subject to U.S. export-control and sanctions laws, including the Export Administration Regulations and regulations administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, and to the laws of other countries. You agree to comply with them. You may not export, re-export or transfer our products or technology to a sanctioned or embargoed country or region, to a person on a U.S. government restricted-party list, or for a prohibited end use, including weapons of mass destruction or a restricted military end use. Deliveries may require screening, licenses or end-use statements before release.
Copyright complaints
If you believe content on the website infringes your copyright, send legal@garmolabs.com a notice with your signature; the work and the material you say infringes, with its location on the website; your contact details; a statement of your good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)). We will review notices promptly.
Reporting security issues
Report vulnerabilities in the website or our products to legal@garmolabs.com (see security.txt). Please allow reasonable time for a fix before disclosure, and do not access or alter data that is not yours, degrade the service or use social engineering.
Disclaimers
THE WEBSITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND ACCURACY, AND DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE. Warranties for licensed products, if any, are stated only in the applicable Agreement. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some may not apply to you.
Limitation of liability
TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE, AND OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE WEBSITE IS LIMITED TO ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100). Liability for licensed products and services is governed by the applicable Agreement.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability that cannot be limited by law, or affects consumer rights that cannot be waived.
Indemnity
If you use the website for an organization, that organization will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims, and resulting losses and reasonable costs, arising from its breach of these Terms or misuse of the website.
Suspension and termination
We may suspend or end your access to the website if you breach these Terms or to protect the website, its users or our business. Provisions that by their nature should survive, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity and governing law, survive.
Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules; the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. Disputes will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court where it qualifies.
Consumers living outside the United States keep the protection of the mandatory laws of their country and may also bring proceedings there. Before filing a claim, please contact us so we can try to resolve it informally.
Notice to California consumers
Under California Civil Code § 1789.3: the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs can be reached at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or (800) 952-5210.
