The Synopsys Business Partner Code of Conduct (the “ Partner Code”) is the roadmap for Synopsys Business Partners to do business the right way. By conducting business with Synopsys, each Business Partner agrees to comply with the Partner Code and to maintain the highest ethical standards under any and all circumstances. Business Partners understand that engaging in conduct that is in violation of the Partner Code or is otherwise unethical is grounds for termination or non-renewal of their relationship with Synopsys.
