These Maptek Account Terms and Conditions (Terms) apply to your use of a Maptek Account that we make available to you online (Account). The Account enables you to use certain software, services or products that we provide (Products), including by verifying that you are appropriately licensed to run and use the Products.

These Terms form a contract between Maptek Pty Ltd (referred to as we, us or our) and the authorised licensee of the Products, as well as any employee or individual using the Account on behalf of the licensee (collectively referred to as you or your). By creating, accessing or using an Account and by using the Products, you agree to these Terms. You must also comply with any software end user licence agreement or other relevant terms and conditions (EULA) applicable to any Product you use, which apply in addition to these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms or the EULA, you must cease using the Account immediately.

Use of Your Account

An Account is for use only by individuals (natural persons) over 18 years of age, and other legal entities such as corporations capable of accepting these Terms. The individual creating or using an Account on behalf of a licensee of a Product is deemed to accept these Terms on both that entity’s behalf and for that individual personally.

You may only use the Account and information obtained from the Account for lawful purposes, and must ensure that your use of an Account does not breach any laws that apply to you.

In using the Account you must not directly or indirectly:

  1. engage in any conduct that we consider to be illegal, fraudulent, defamatory, abusive, offensive, would infringe another person’s rights, or that we otherwise reasonably consider to be inappropriate or a misuse of the Account;
  2. cause anything to occur that may disrupt the availability of any Account or other service, or engage in hacking or attempts to gain unauthorised access to any service, software, application or other Account, and you agree to immediately notify us if you become aware of any vulnerability in, or unauthorised use of, an Account;
  3. modify or create derivative works of the Account or any of its contents;
  4. lease, license, rent, distribute, transmit or otherwise enable access to the Account or any of its content to or by any third party;
  5. use the Account in or in connection with any application, program, service, software, hardware or product other than as permitted by these Terms; or
  6. cause, assist or permit any third party (including Licensee’s employees, consultants, affiliates or end-users) to do any of the above.

You are liable for all communications transmitted through or using your Account and for all activity (including use of the Products) associated with your Account.

Account Details

You must ensure that all information you provide via your Account is correct, complete, up-to-date and not misleading or deceptive. You must notify us or amend the information in the Account if any information you have previously supplied changes or does not comply with these Terms.

You must keep your Account access credentials (username and password) secure at all times. You must not provide your Account access credentials to any other person or otherwise permit any other person to access or use your Account. If you know or suspect that your access credentials have been obtained or used by a third party without authorisation, you must immediately notify us and take reasonable steps to secure your Account.

We may suspend or terminate your Account without notice at any time and for any reason, including without limitation for failure to pay any Product licence fees. If your Account is suspended or terminated, you are prohibited from creating a new Account unless we notify you otherwise in writing. If we suspend or terminate your Account in circumstances where you are permitted to continue using the Products, we will use reasonable endeavours to provide an alternative means to enable you to continue using those Products.

Our use of the Account

We use the Account to manage and verify your licences for certain Products, as well as to monitor the use of those Products. We may monitor your use of the Products for purposes that include assessing compliance with these Terms and the EULA, to improve the Products, and/or to determine the fees payable for your use of the Products. This may include monitoring of:

  1. which features of the Products are used in a particular session, including which modules and menu options are used;
  2. the performance of the Products; and
  3. information about the computer or hardware on which the Products are being used.

You consent to our use of the Account and the collection of this information in the manner, and for the purposes, described in these Terms.

We will use our reasonable endeavours to maintain in confidence all information obtained in connection with your Account. You may be able to access certain information we collect by reviewing the information made available to you through your Account and/or the Products.

We reserve the right to add or remove features of the Account at any time, and may not notify you of such changes unless they will cause material changes to the Account or Products and your ability to use them.

We do not warrant or represent that an Account will be accessible by you or available at any particular time or at all. We do not guarantee that access to the Products or Account will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that your Account is free from viruses or anything else that may adversely affect any computer that accesses an Account. It is possible that your use of a Product may be limited or prevented if the Account is unavailable for any reason, including without limitation due to technical outages preventing a Product from obtaining access to the Account.

We do not offer insurance, indemnity or other protection of any kind in respect of any use of an Account or Product. If you wish to obtain or rely on such protection it is your responsibility to investigate its availability from a third party and to secure any entitlements you may have arising in connection with it.

No data transmitted over the Internet is secure. We do not warrant, and cannot ensure, the security of such data. You use your Account entirely at your own risk.
