This End User License Agreement ("EULA") is a binding legal agreement between you, as an individual or entity, and LinkedIn. By downloading, installing, or using this application for Android, iOS or other mobile platform, as applicable (the "Software"), you agree to be bound by the terms of this EULA. If you do not agree to this EULA, do not use the Software and delete it. You agree that installation or use of the Software signifies that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this EULA.

Use of the Software or any LinkedIn Service within an organization requires a commercial agreement for the applicable LinkedIn Service.  

We use the term “Designated Countries” to refer to countries in the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), and Switzerland. If you reside in the “Designated Countries”, you are entering into this contract with LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company (“LinkedIn Ireland”) and LinkedIn Ireland will be the controller of your personal data provided to, or collected by or for, or processed in connection with the Software or LinkedIn Service. If you reside outside of the Designated Countries, you are entering into this contract with LinkedIn Corporation (“LinkedIn Corp”) and LinkedIn Corp will be the controller of your personal data provided to, or collected by or for, or processed in connection with the Software or LinkedIn Service. 

  1. 1. Description of Software

    The Software is a downloadable software application that enables you to access LinkedIn functionality directly from your Android, iPhone, iPad or other mobile device supported by LinkedIn (“Device”).

    • Make one copy of the Software in any machine readable form solely for back-up purposes, provided you reproduce the Software in its original form and with all proprietary notices on the back-up copy.

    For clarity, the foregoing is not intended to prohibit you from installing and backing-up the Software for another Device on which you also agreed to the EULA. Each instance of this EULA that you agree to grants you the aforementioned rights in connection with the installation, use and back-up of one copy of the Software on one Device.
