General.

Integrated Silicon Solution Inc and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as "ISSI." ISSI's websites (herein, the "ISSI Website(s)" or "ISSI's Website(s)") are controlled and operated by ISSI from its offices in the United States of America. These Terms of Use apply to all of the ISSI Websites and all materials and content posted thereon, including but not limited to, text, images, embedded hyperlinks, downloadable content, datasheets, product support documents, and software (collectively referred to herein as "Content"). The ISSI Websites are provided on an as-is, where-is basis and ISSI provides no representations or warranties as to the accuracy, completeness, or utility of any Content provided on the ISSI Websites. Additionally, ISSI makes no representations or warranties that the Content contained on ISSI's Websites is appropriate or available for use in all locations or territories, and access to such Content from locations or territories where such Content is illegal is prohibited. Failure by ISSI to enforce any right(s) or provision(s) contained within these Terms of Use shall not constitute or be deemed to be a waiver of such right(s) or provision(s) nor prevent enforcement by ISSI of such right(s) or provision(s) thereafter. Any claim relating to ISSI's Websites shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any action brought by you and arising out of or related to your use of the ISSI Websites shall be brought, prosecuted and defended, as the case may be, in the state or federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California, and by using the ISSI Websites you consent to the jurisdiction of and venue within such courts. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE ISSI WEBSITES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, YOUR CAUSE OF ACTION WILL BE PERMANENTLY WAIVED.

The Content contained on ISSI's Websites is protected by applicable copyright laws and trademark laws. For further information, please see ISSI's Copyright Information and Trademark Usage Guidelines. Any unauthorized use of the Content appearing on ISSI's Websites may violate copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws and could result in criminal or civil penalties. ISSI vigilantly enforces its intellectual property rights and will actively seek the recovery of any costs, damages and attorneys' fees it may incur preventing the misuse or misappropriation of the ISSI Websites and any Content therein.

So long as you comply with these Terms of Use, permission is granted to download and ephemerally store in computer memory one (1) copy of the Content on ISSI's Websites for personal, non-commercial transitory viewing only. This is the grant of a limited, revocable, non-sublicensable and non-exclusive license under copyright, not a transfer of title, and under this license you may not, and you agree not to:
(a) modify, create derivative works from, or further copy the Content;
(b) use the Content for any commercial purpose, or for any public display (commercial or noncommercial);
(c) attempt to decompile or reverse engineer any software contained on or obtained from ISSI's Websites;
(d) remove any copyright or other proprietary notices on the Content; or
(e) transfer the Content to another person or "mirror" or "frame" the Content on any other website or server.

This license shall automatically terminate if you violate any of these Terms of Use and may be terminated by ISSI at any time and for any reason without notice. Upon termination of this license, you must destroy any downloaded Content in your possession whether in electronic or printed format.

You agree not to use or launch any automated system, including without limitation, "robots," "spiders," "offline readers," etc., that accesses ISSI's Websites in a manner that sends more request messages to the ISSI servers in a given period of time than a human can reasonably produce in the same period by using a conventional web browser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ISSI grants the operators of public search engines permission to use automated systems to copy Content from the ISSI Websites for the sole purpose of creating publicly available searchable indices of the Content. ISSI reserves the right to revoke these exceptions either generally or in specific cases.

You agree not to collect or harvest any personally identifiable information, including account names and/or email addresses, from the ISSI Websites, and not to use the communication systems provided by the ISSI Websites for any commercial solicitation purposes. You agree not to solicit, for commercial purposes, any users of the ISSI Websites with respect to their Submitted Information (as defined below). Note that certain Content made available for download or purchase on ISSI's Websites is subject to its own specific terms and conditions through a separate click-to-accept agreement, and those terms and conditions applicable to such Content shall govern the download and use of such Content.

THE CONTENT ON ISSI'S WEBSITES IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER. ISSI MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING SUCH CONTENT AND ISSI DISCLAIMS AND NEGATES ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING SUCH CONTENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR OTHER VIOLATION OF RIGHTS. FURTHER, ISSI MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES CONCERNING THE ACCURACY, RESULTS, OR RELIABILITY OF THE USE OF THE CONTENT ON ITS WEBSITES OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO SUCH CONTENT OR ON ANY WEBSITES LINKED TO OR FROM THE ISSI WEBSITES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL ISSI OR ITS SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF DATA OR PROFITS, OR DUE TO BUSINESS INTERRUPTION,) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE CONTENT ON ISSI'S WEBSITES, EVEN IF ISSI HAS BEEN NOTIFIED ORALLY OR IN WRITING OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES, OR LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, AND THEREFORE THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Any information, data, images, drawings, photographs, and/or other materials you transmit, submit or post (or which you transmitted, submitted or posted in the past) to any ISSI Website (collectively, "Submitted Information") will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. ISSI will have no obligations with respect to the Submitted Information, and by transmitting, submitting or posting Submitted Information to any ISSI Website you hereby grant to ISSI, and its subsidiaries and affiliates, a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable license to make, sell, have made, disclose, distribute, display, perform, copy, reproduce, incorporate, prepare derivative works of, and/or otherwise use the Submitted Information for any and all commercial and non-commercial purposes, including without limitation in connection with the ISSI Websites.

You may not and shall not transmit, submit or post anything to any ISSI Website that is unlawful, threatening, pornographic, libelous, defamatory, infringing, or that would otherwise violate any law.

You shall be solely responsible for your Submitted Information and the consequences of posting or publishing it. With respect to your Submitted Information, you represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use and authorize ISSI to use all patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, and/or other intellectual property or proprietary rights in and to any and all of your Submitted Information to enable inclusion and use of the Submitted Information in the manner contemplated by the ISSI Websites and these Terms of Use.

From time to time, you may be requested to establish a member account and/or password to access certain portions of a ISSI Website or to receive certain Content. In such cases, you are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account and for any and all activities that occur under your account.

ISSI may, at ISSI's sole discretion, terminate your ability to transmit, submit, and/or post information to any ISSI Websites if you are determined to be a repeat infringer of third party intellectual property rights.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless ISSI, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney's fees) arising from or related to your Submitted Information, your violation of these Terms of Use or any rights of a third party, and/or your use of the ISSI Websites and/or Content, including without limitation in connection with any claim of infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, and/or other intellectual property or proprietary rights of any third party.

ISSI is not obligated to, but may in its sole discretion at any time and without notice, monitor or review any areas or locations on or in any of the ISSI Websites where users transmit, submit or post Submitted Information or communicate with others, including but not limited to chat rooms, bulletin boards, blogs, or any other user forums ("Exchange Services"), and any of the content of any such Submitted Information or Exchange Services. Without limiting the foregoing, ISSI may in its sole discretion at any time and without notice: (a) refuse to post or remove any or all such content; (b) terminate your access to and/or use of any or all of the Exchange Services (including termination due to repeat infringement of intellectual property laws); (c) modify or terminate any or all of the Exchange Services; and/or (d) disclose any such content or information as ISSI deems necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request.
