ORBIT GT 3D MAPPING VIEWER SDK – TERMS OF USE

Considering:

ORBIT GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGIES NV (“Orbit GT“) is the producer of Orbit software and hardware products and full owner of Orbit technology. Orbit GT offers SDKs, APIs and documentation to third parties to enable development upon Orbit’s core technology; and
The developer entering into these Orbit GT 3D Mapping Viewer SDK Terms of Use (the “Developer”) desires to develop solutions based on or embedding Orbit GT technology, with the non-exclusive right to market, promote and resell these solutions to customers in accordance with the terms of these Orbit GT 3D Mapping Viewer SDK Terms of Use (the “Agreement”).

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

1. NATURE OF THE AGREEMENT

Developer wishes to use Orbit GT’s 3D Mapping Viewer software development kit (the “SDK”) to develop an independent add-on, an integration, a plugin or other solution integrating or interacting with any third party Products as defined hereunder (each a “Development Work”), for which the SDK is considered valuable for Developer or Developer’s customer.

This Agreement describes the rights and obligations of Orbit GT and Developer (each individually a “Party” and together the “Parties”) in relation to the SDK and Development Works.

This Agreement does not constitute either Party the agent of the other, or create a joint venture or similar relationship between the Parties, and neither Party will have the power to obligate the other in any manner whatsoever. Developer acknowledges and agrees that its relationship with Orbit GT is that of an independent contractor, and neither Party will act in a manner that expresses or implies a relationship other than that of an independent contractor. Orbit GT and Developer acknowledge and agree that: (a) Developer is permitted to promote and sell products and services of companies other than Orbit GT; (b) Developer is not required to promote Orbit GT products or services exclusively; and (c) Developer’s decision to devote all or some of its business efforts to the products or services of any particular company is solely at the discretion of Developer.

2. SDK AND DEPLOYMENT

For the avoidance of doubt, SDKs and APIs are not considered a Product for the purposes of this Agreement, nor are the Independent Solutions as defined in sub-section E (Similar Features and Products) hereunder.

B. Prices

The usage of the SDK is free, both in a development environment and in a production environment. Developer is not authorized to charge the License Holder or End User(s) for the SDK, without prejudice to any fees due in relation to the relevant Product(s).

Support from Orbit GT regarding usage of the SDK and development is subject to Orbit GT’s Service Tickets, as defined hereunder.

Developer is granted no right, title or license to, or interest in, any Orbit GT Trademarks, save for the foregoing right of use. Developer acknowledges and agrees that any use of the Orbit GT Trademarks by Developer will inure to the sole benefit of Orbit GT.

Developer undertakes not to knowingly infringe upon or otherwise undermine Orbit GT’s rights in the Orbit GT Works, or the rights of third parties in third-party components of the Products. Developer shall indemnify and hold Orbit GT harmless against any action or claim from any third party for infringement by Orbit GT of third-party rights as a result of the Developer’s integration of the SDK into, or use of the SDK for, any Development Work.
