Software
Nexwall Firewall is a set of free and open source components and of Nexwall components. The open source components (for example OpenWrt, the Linux kernel, nftables, Snort, dnsmasq, ClamAV, Squid) are licensed under their own licenses, which apply to those components and are listed in the notices of the image. The Nexwall components that are not open source (for example the web interface, the license component and the Web Protection services) are licensed to you under these terms.
Your rights
You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to install and use the software for your own business or home network, or for the networks of your customers if you are a Nexwall partner. You may not remove license notices, circumvent or disable license checks, or reverse engineer the Nexwall components except where the law allows it regardless of this restriction.
Trial and subscriptions
The image includes a trial period. After it, the licensed features need a subscription that you obtain from Nexwall or from a Nexwall partner. Features that are not licensed keep working as the product describes, with the limits stated in the release notes.
Release candidates
Versions marked as release candidates are for evaluation and testing. They are provided as they are, without warranty, and are not meant for production networks without an agreement with Nexwall.
Export, import and sanctions
The software includes cryptography. You are responsible for complying with the export, import and sanctions laws that apply to you, and you confirm that you are not a party prohibited from receiving the software, and that you will not use it for the development or use of weapons.
Liability
To the extent the law permits, Nexwall is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and its total liability for the software that you download free of charge is limited to the amount that you paid for it, which is zero.
Law and forum
These terms are governed by the laws of Brazil and the forum is the courts of the domicile of the user. Nothing in them limits the rights that the open source licenses give you for the open source components, or the rights that Brazilian law gives you.
