Disclaimer and Copyright Notice
This disclaimer applies to all draft specifications and final specifications adopted by the
Bluetooth SIG Board of Directors (both of which are hereinafter referred to herein as a
Bluetooth “Specification”). Your use of this Specification in any way is subject to your
compliance with all conditions of such use, and your acceptance of all disclaimers and
limitations as to such use, contained in this Specification. Any user of this Specification is
advised to seek appropriate legal, engineering or other professional advice regarding the use,
interpretation or effect of this Specification on any matters discussed in this Specification.
Use of Bluetooth Specifications and any related intellectual property is governed by the
Promoters Membership Agreement among the Promoter Members and Bluetooth SIG (the
“Promoters Agreement”), certain membership agreements between Bluetooth SIG and its
Adopter and Associate Members, including, but not limited to, the Membership Application, the
Bluetooth Patent/Copyright License Agreement and the Bluetooth Trademark License
Agreement (collectively, the “Membership Agreements”) and the Bluetooth Specification Early
Adopters Agreements (1.2 Early Adopters Agreements) among Early Adopter members of the
unincorporated Bluetooth SIG and the Promoter Members (the “Early Adopters Agreement”).
Certain rights and obligations of the Promoter Members under the Early Adopters Agreements
have been assigned to Bluetooth SIG by the Promoter Members.
Use of the Specification by anyone who is not a member of Bluetooth SIG or a party to an Early
Adopters Agreement (each such person or party, a “Member”) is prohibited. The use of any
portion of a Bluetooth Specification may involve the use of intellectual property rights ("IPR"),
including pending or issued patents, or copyrights or other rights. Bluetooth SIG has made no
search or investigation for such rights and disclaims any undertaking or duty to do so. The legal
rights and obligations of each Member are governed by the applicable Membership
Agreements, Early Adopters Agreement or Promoters Agreement. No license, express or
implied, by estoppel or otherwise, to any intellectual property rights are granted herein.
Any use of the Specification not in compliance with the terms of the applicable Membership
Agreements, Early Adopters Agreement or Promoters Agreement is prohibited and any such
prohibited use may result in (i) termination of the applicable Membership Agreements or Early
Adopters Agreement and (ii) liability claims by Bluetooth SIG or any of its Members for patent,
copyright and/or trademark infringement claims permitted by the applicable agreement or by
applicable law.
THE SPECIFICATION IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITH NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER,
INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINGEMENT, FITNESS
FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OR REASONABLE SKILL
OR CARE, OR ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF ANY COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE,
TRADE PRACTICE, PROPOSAL, SPECIFICATION OR SAMPLE.
Each Member hereby acknowledges that products equipped with the Bluetooth wireless
technology ("Bluetooth Products") may be subject to various regulatory controls under the laws
and regulations applicable to products using wireless non licensed spectrum of various
governments worldwide. Such laws and regulatory controls may govern, among other things,
the combination, operation, use, implementation and distribution of Bluetooth Products.
Examples of such laws and regulatory controls include, but are not limited to, airline regulatory
controls, telecommunications regulations, technology transfer controls and health and safety
regulations. Each Member is solely responsible for the compliance by their Bluetooth Products
with any such laws and regulations and for obtaining any and all required authorizations,
permits, or licenses for their Bluetooth Products related to such regulations within the
applicable jurisdictions. Each Member acknowledges that nothing in the Specification provides
any information or assistance in connection with securing such compliance, authorizations or
licenses. NOTHING IN THE SPECIFICATION CREATES ANY WARRANTIES, EITHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING SUCH LAWS OR REGULATIONS.
