Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee shall comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and any anti-bribery or similar law or regulation in any jurisdiction where business is conducted or services performed in connection with the Agreement.

4.5 Compliance with Terms of Google Maps/Google Earth for Viewer Use.  The Viewer (if Licensee is provided access to the Viewer under its Customer Agreement) may use geocoding services accessed from Google Maps/Google Earth.

6. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER

6.1 No Warranties.  ALL PRODUCT AND ANY SOFTWARE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND VEXCEL DISCLAIMS (TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW) ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, RELATING TO THE PRODUCT AND THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF A THIRD PARTY, CUSTOM, TRADE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY OF INFORMATION, CONTENT, OR RESULTS, OR CONDITIONS ARISING UNDER ANY OTHER LEGAL REQUIREMENT. VEXCEL DOES NOT WARRANT THAT (a) THE PRODUCT OR THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET THE BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS OF LICENSEE; (b) THE PRODUCT OR THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ACCESSIBLE, AVAILABLE, ACCURATE, CURRENT, OR COMPLETE, OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT OR THE SOFTWARE WILL BE COMPLETELY SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR UNINTERRUPTED; OR (c) ALL ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED.

THE SUPPLIERS OF VEXCEL MAKE NO DIRECT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND TO LICENSEE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT

6.2 Potential Adverse Impact to Use of the Product.  Access to the Product through the Software may be impacted by the following:

1. any services, hardware, or software provided by Licensee or by a third party, including issues resulting from inadequate bandwidth or related to Licensee’s or third-party software or services, such as cloud platform services;
2. Licensee’s use of the Product after Vexcel advised Licensee to modify Licensee’s use of the Product, if Licensee did not modify its use as advised;
3. Licensee’s unauthorized action or lack of action when required, or unauthorized action or lack of action when required by Licensee’s employees, agents, contractors, or vendors, or anyone gaining access to the Software by means of Licensee’s passwords or equipment, or otherwise resulting from Licensee’s failure to follow appropriate security practices;
4. Licensee’s failure to adhere to any required configurations, use supported platforms, follow any policies for acceptable use, or Licensee engaging in excessive use or attempting to use the Product in a manner inconsistent with the features and functionality of the Product (for example, attempts to perform operations that are not supported) or inconsistent with Vexcel’s published guidance;
5. faulty input, instructions, or arguments (for example, requests to access files that do not exist); or
6. Licensee’s attempts to perform operations that resulted in Vexcel’s throttling of suspected abusive behavior.

7. INDEMNIFICATION.  Licensee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Vexcel, its affiliates, employees, officers, directors, and shareholders from any third-party claim that arises from (a “Vexcel Claim”) (a) an allegation that any Derivative or Modified Product, or any products or services provided by Licensee or a third party that are bundled, sold, or used with the Product under this Agreement, infringe any intellectual property rights of a third party; (b) the use of the Product or a Derivative by Licensee or a Permitted Sublicensee or any user allowed to access the Product or Derivative, directly or indirectly by Licensee or a Permitted Sublicensee, except to the extent the claim is based on the Product on a stand-alone basis; or (c) any failure by Licensee or Permitted Sublicensees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Licensee shall pay reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Vexcel in connection with any Vexcel Claim. Licensee’s indemnification obligations set forth in this section are subject to the conditions that Vexcel must (x) notify Licensee promptly in writing of such claim, provided that Vexcel’s failure to promptly notify Licensee as provided herein shall not relieve Licensee of its obligations except to the extent that Licensee is actually prejudiced by such failure to give prompt notice; and (y) fully cooperate with Licensee, at Licensee’s expense, in the defense or settlement of such claim, provided that any settlement will be subject to Vexcel’s written approval.

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. In no event will Vexcel or its licensors be liable for any consequential, special, indirect, incidental, exemplary, or punitive damages, whether or not foreseeable and whether or not Vexcel has been advised of the possibility of the damages. In no event will the total liability of Vexcel and its licensors arising out of or in connection with the Product exceed $1,000. The foregoing limitations apply to all causes of action in the aggregate, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

9. TERMINATION. This EULA terminates upon expiration of the Term. In addition, if Licensee breaches any agreement with Vexcel or if Vexcel reasonably suspects that Licensee is using the Product in violation of applicable laws or regulations, Vexcel may immediately suspend Licensee’s access to the Product and terminate the Agreement. Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time. Upon termination of the Agreement, Licensee and Permitted Sublicensees must (a) stop all use of the Product, Modified Product, and Derivatives; (b) permanently delete the Product, Modified Product, and Derivatives from all storage, devices, and systems; and (c) deliver to Vexcel an officer’s certificate certifying compliance with this section at 12503 E Euclid Drive, Suite 20, Englewood, CO 80111, Attention: Legal Department. The termination of the Agreement does not relieve either Party of any obligations that have accrued on or before the effective date of termination.

10. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.

10.1 Injunctive Relief.  Any material breach of this Agreement by Licensee may cause irreparable injury and monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy. Vexcel is entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, in the event of a breach, and Licensee waives the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. The above will not be construed to limit the remedies available to Vexcel.

10.2 Liquidated Damages.  Vexcel may recover, at Vexcel’s election, either (a) damages that arise from Licensee’s breach of this Agreement; or (b) in the event of a breach of the License only, liquidated damages as contemplated by the statutory damages provision of the Copyright Act, 17 U.S. Code §504(c). For purposes of determining breach of the License and the calculation of liquidated damages, an image is infringed when it is improperly downloaded, improperly distributed, or used in the preparation of derivative works after being improperly downloaded. This liquidated-damages provision applies whether or not Vexcel has filed for a copyright registration in connection with such image. Licensee shall reimburse Vexcel for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and for investigation fees incurred by Vexcel in enforcing its rights under this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that this calculation of damages is reasonable as proportionate to the potential losses arising from the unauthorized use of the Product in light of the proprietary intellectual property that Vexcel has developed to maintain a competitive business advantage and the complexity of determining the monetary harm caused by misappropriation of that intellectual property through a License breach.

11. GENERAL TERMS.  The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to access to and use of the Product and supersedes all previous and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, and arrangements, whether oral or written; provided, however, that if there is any conflict between the terms of this EULA and the Customer Agreement, the Customer Agreement controls. The waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be interpreted as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. The Agreement shall not be construed to establish any form of partnership, agency, or other joint venture between Vexcel and Licensee. If the performance of any obligation under this Agreement is prevented, restricted, or interfered with by reason of tornado, hurricane, storm, fire, flood, earthquake, explosion, pandemic, or other casualty or accident or act of God; strikes or labor disputes; inability to procure or obtain delivery of parts, supplies, power, telecommunication services, equipment, or software from suppliers, war or other violence; any law, order proclamation, regulation, ordinance, demand, or requirement of any governmental authority; or any other act or condition whatsoever beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party, the Party so affected will be excused from such performance to the extent of such prevention, restriction, or interference; provided, however, that the Party so affected shall take reasonable steps to avoid or remove such cause of non-performance and shall resume performance hereunder whenever such causes are removed. If Vexcel must seek the services of an attorney to enforce the provisions of the Agreement, Licensee shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and damages incurred by Vexcel, whether such attorneys’ fees, costs, and damages are incurred in or out of court. Any disputes arising out of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without giving effect to its conflict of law rules. Each Party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Denver, Colorado. Licensee may not assign (by operation of law or otherwise), rent, sell, sublicense, sub-contract or otherwise transfer the Agreement or any portion thereof to any other person, firm, or entity without Vexcel’s written consent. Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this section will be null and void. Vexcel may freely assign or otherwise transfer this EULA and any Customer Agreement. The Agreement will be binding upon Licensee and Vexcel and inure to the benefit of Licensee and Vexcel and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The headings or captions used in the Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not intended to be used or relied upon in interpreting or enforcing the Agreement. To the extent that any portion of the Agreement is deemed to be unenforceable, such portion shall be severed and deleted or limited to give effect to the intent of the Parties to the extent possible, and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain binding upon the Parties.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THE AGREEMENT, UNDERSTAND IT, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AND FURTHER AGREE THAT THE AGREEMENT IS THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT BETWEEN VEXCEL AND YOU RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE AGREEMENT.
