IQGEO SUBSCRIPTION
END USER LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. Applicability. These general terms and conditions (these “Terms”) are the only terms which govern the provision of the Subscription Services by IQGeo (“IQGeo”) through a reseller (“VAR”) to the buyer (“Customer”), IQGeo, VAR and Customer as identified in the Order Form that references these Terms (the “Order”). These Terms prevail over any of Customer’s general terms and conditions of purchase, regardless of whether or when Customer has submitted its purchase order or such terms. IQGeo and Customer may be referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties.” IQGeo may revise and update these Terms from time to time in IQGeo’s sole discretion. It is the Customer’s responsibility to check these Terms periodically for changes. The Customer’s continued use of the Subscription Services following the posting of revised Terms means that the Customer accepts and agrees to the revised Terms.
2. Provision of the Subscription Services.
2.1. Subscription Services. Subject to Customer’s compliance with these Terms and the Reseller Pass-Through Terms, IQGeo shall provide a right to use and access certain subscription services, as indicated on the Order, on an installed basis, including as applicable: (i) the licensing of IQGeo’s proprietary software and services (“Product(s)”), (ii) the provision of Third Party Software or Third Party Data Services, and (iii) the Documentation (subsections (i)-(iv) collectively the “Subscription Services”) during the Subscription Term (as defined below). For the avoidance of doubt, the provision of support and maintenance services in respect of the Subscription Services (“Support Services”), are not part of the Subscription Services. Support Services shall be provided by VAR pursuant to the terms of the Reseller Pass-Through Terms, including the benefit of any third line maintenance and support services which IQGeo provides to VAR, for the benefit of licensees of the Subscription Services. Whereby: “Documentation” means any materials and documentation provided or made available by IQGeo to Customer in connection with the Subscription Services; “Third Party Data Services” means data services supplied by a third party which may be required to use or optimise the relevant Product; and “Third Party Software” means a software product owned and licensed by a third party and which may be required to use or optimise the relevant Product.
2.2. Delivery of the Subscription Services. The Subscription Services are provided on an installed basis and VAR or Customer shall be responsible for installing the relevant Products at the location (e.g. install address, hardware or platform) specified by Customer and identified in the Reseller Pass-Through Terms (“Installation Location”).
2.3. Reseller Pass-Through Terms. The Subscription Services are supplied to Customer, subject to these Terms, by VAR pursuant to the terms of the Reseller Pass-Through Terms. VAR may impose additional terms and conditions for Customer access and/or use of the Subscription Services pursuant to Reseller Pass-Through Terms but in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Reseller Pass-Through Terms and these Terms, these Terms shall prevail and supersede such contradictory terms and will control Customer’s use of the Subscription Services. VAR is responsible to for the supply of the Subscription Services and the Support Services pursuant to the terms of the Reseller Pass-Through Terms and Customer acknowledges and agrees that IQGeo shall have no liability to Customer in connection with the Subscription Services or the Support Services (including use or performance of the Subscription Services or Support Services) other than in connection with breach of IQGeo’s obligations under these Terms. These Terms will apply to any new maintenance or minor update, release or version of the Products supplied to Customer by VAR pursuant to the Reseller Pass-Through Terms as part of the Support Services.
2.4. VAR supplies. The Subscription Services may require or rely upon software, data services, advice, recommendations, products and services of VAR. Use of such software, data services, advice, recommendations, products and services of VAR is subject to the Reseller Pass-Through Terms or such other terms or conditions of VAR. Notwithstanding any other provision in these Terms, IQGeo shall have no obligation or liability for or in connection with such software, data services, advice, recommendations, products and services of VAR, or any losses or damages arising therefrom.
2.5. License.
2.5.1. License Grant. IQGeo hereby grants to Customer a limited, personal, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable license and right, on a subscription basis, to: install one copy of the Products at the Installation Location and permit its authorised Representative(s) (subject to the maximum number of Named Users) (“Users”) to access and use (as an installed service) the Subscription Services during the Subscription Term solely for the Permitted Purpose. Customer shall at all times ensure full compliance by any Users with these Terms and Customer shall remain fully liable and assume all responsibility for use of the Subscription Services by its Users. Except for the license provided pursuant to this Section, Customer acknowledges these Terms do not grant Customer, and IQGeo expressly disclaims the grant of any license, interest or right to or under any Intellectual Property Rights (as defined below) of IQGeo, whether directly or indirectly, by implication or otherwise.

If IQGeo has any reason to believe or suspect that Customer or its Users are in violation of these Terms, IQGeo may request additional assurances of compliance from Customer, upon which Customer shall promptly initiate an investigation and provide a written certification of compliance within thirty (30) days, in a form reasonably acceptable to IQGeo. Whereby “Operating Unit” means a division, department or functional area within Customer’s organization that is responsible for a specific corporate activity.
2.6. Acceptable Use. Customer shall not (and shall not allow any person other than IQGeo or person authorised by IQGeo to): (i) pledge the Products as collateral or otherwise, and shall not permit the creation if any encumbrance, mortgage, charge, lien or security interest over or on the Products; (ii) use the Products to operate a managed service or service bureau, whether as standalone or bundled product, for the benefit of any other person; (iii) attempt to copy, modify, duplicate, translate, create derivative works from or transmit all or any part of the Products or Documentation in any form or media or by any means; (iv) attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise reduce to human-perceivable form all or any part of the Products or otherwise attempt to learn the source code, structure, designs, algorithms, or other items underlying the Product; (v) fix, repair, alter, amend, maintain or support the Products (or attempt to do the same); (vi) license, transfer, assign, distribute, time-share, display, disclose, or otherwise commercially exploit, or otherwise make the Products and/or Documentation available to any third party except the Users; or (vii) modify or remove any copyright, trademark, patent or proprietary notices on the Products or the Documentation.

2.7. General Restrictions: Customer shall not attempt to circumvent or bypass any license restrictions or limitations imposed by these Terms or any applicable Order. If IQGeo has any reason to believe or suspect that Customer or its Users are in violation of the license restrictions as set out in Section 2 of these Terms, IQGeo may request (in addition to its right of audit in Section 15 of these Terms) additional assurances of compliance from Customer, upon which Customer shall promptly initiate an investigation and provide a written certification of compliance within thirty (30) days, in a form reasonably acceptable to IQGeo. Customer acknowledges that any violation of the usage restrictions or attempts to circumvent license limitations may result in immediate termination of these Terms and may subject the Customer to legal consequences, including but not limited to, monetary damages and injunctive relief. Any breach of this Section shall be a material breach of these Terms.
2.8. Acceptable Use of APIs: Any APIs provided are intended solely for use in conjunction with the Subscription Services. Any unauthorized use of the APIs outside the scope of any applicable Order is strictly prohibited.
i) Prohibited Activities: Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, use the APIs to circumvent or violate any user license restrictions imposed by the Software. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to (i) Reverse-engineering, decompiling, or disassembling the Software to gain unauthorized access to its functionality; (ii) Replicating or redistributing the Software's features or functionality through the use of the APIs in a manner that exceeds the scope of the user license; (iii) Modifying, adapting, or tampering with the APIs or the Software to enable unauthorized access or use; (iv) Build a geospatial client using the provided APIs that would allow for use of the Subscription Services with less Named Users than would be strictly necessary if the API would not have been provided.
ii) Non-Interference: Customer shall not use the APIs in any manner that interferes with the proper functioning of the subscription Services or disrupts the experience of other users. Excessive use shall be monitored against thresholds or limits communicated in advance by IQGeo, and/or against usage & performance metrics requested by the Customer and mutually agreed upon by IQGeo. IQGeo shall monitor system performance and notify Customer if usage exceeds such thresholds, upon which Customer shall take such reasonable steps to remedy the situation. Excessive use includes, but is not limited to, excessive API requests, automated scripts, or any activity in excess of what the system has been designed for, or in excess of the performance requirements requested by the Customer and agreed upon by IQGeo, causing overloads or degrading the performance of the Subscription Services or its associated services;
iii) Compliance Monitoring: IQGeo reserves the right to monitor Customer’s use of the APIs to ensure compliance with these restrictions. If IQGeo reasonably believes, based on clear evidence, that Customer is in violation of these terms, IQGeo shall first notify Customer in writing of the alleged violation and provide a reasonable opportunity to cure the issue (except in cases where immediate suspension is necessary to prevent material harm to the Subscription Services). Only after failure to cure within a reasonable period, or in the event of imminent threat to system integrity, may IQGeo take appropriate action, including but not limited to suspending or terminating Customer’s access to the APIs as appropriate and pursuing legal remedies;
iv) Reporting Violations: If Customer becomes aware of any unauthorized use or misuse of the APIs, Customer agrees to promptly notify us and provide all relevant details to assist in IQGeo’s investigation and enforcement efforts;
v) Reservation of Rights: All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by IQGeo. IQGeo reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate access to the APIs at any time for any reason without prior notice.
Any breach of this Section shall be a material breach of these Terms.
2.9. Suggested Improvements. Customer may provide comments or suggestions regarding, or proposed improvements to the Subscription Services (“Suggested Improvements”). IQGeo will be free to use, disclose, reproduce, license or otherwise distribute, and exploit Suggested Improvements as it sees fit, entirely without obligation to Customer or restriction of any kind on account of Intellectual Property Rights or otherwise, including the payment of any fees or royalties to Customer.
