If you have materially breached your Data Licence Agreement, you must pay for the cost of any audit.
- How can we audit you?
- We may conduct an audit at any time on no less than 5 Business Days’ notice to you.

Rest assured that nothing in your Data Licence Agreement limits your consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law.
However, as is standard market practice, we each agree that we limit our liability to each other.
Note that the liability cap does not apply to the indemnities we give to each other.

However, as is standard market practice, we each agree that we limit our liability to each other.
Note that the liability cap does not apply to the indemnities we give to each other.
If you breach any terms of your licence or do something else that causes us loss, you agree to cover our associated costs.
If our Data infringes someone else’s Intellectual Property Rights, we will cover your costs.
However, we will not be responsible for any Consequential Loss or infringement claims to the extent they are caused by your unexpected or uncooperative acts or inaction. Where we do need to cover your costs, we may conduct any related legal proceedings and you must cooperate with that.
- How do we each indemnify each other?
- You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from and against all Losses (including all legal costs, and any other associated fees and costs) we incur as a direct or indirect result of:
- any breach of terms of the Licence, including using our Data or Derived Material for a purpose other than the Permitted Purpose; and
- any negligent act or omission or wilful misconduct by you, your employees, agents, servants, contractors or others for whom you are legally responsible.
- Subject to clause 18.3, we agree to indemnify and hold you harmless from and against all Losses (including all legal costs, and any other associated fees and costs) you incur as a direct or indirect result of any third party claim against you alleging that the Data infringes the Intellectual Property Rights of any person. However, we will not indemnify you:
- to the extent you make any modifications to our Data and those modifications contribute to the claim;
- where you use our Data in combination with any hardware, software or other products or services in a manner that causes the infringement and such combination was not within the reasonable contemplation of the parties given the intended use of our Data;
- where the infringement arises due to your failure to use an update for our Data that is made available to you by us;
- where you do not comply with any specifications or directions provided by us relating to our Data; or
- where the infringement arises due to your use of our Data in a manner that not authorised under your Data Licence Agreement.
- Where you make a claim against us pursuant to clause 18.2, in no event will we be liable for any Consequential Loss.

- you must provide us with all reasonable assistance to allow us to defend the claim;
- you must follow any reasonable direction we give you; and/li>
- you must not settle or make any admissions of liability without first obtaining our written consent.
- Each party has a duty to mitigate its Losses that would otherwise be recoverable from the other party under your Data Licence Agreement by taking appropriate and commercially reasonable steps to reduce or limit the amount of such Losses.
This is where we explain what can happen if either of us does something we shouldn’t.
We can end your Data Licence Agreement if:
- you have done something against the law or to cause us reputational damage;
- you allow unauthorised access to our Data, material you create using our Data or Geoscape;
- you become insolvent;
- you breach your Data Licence Agreement, and don’t fix it within 14 days of us asking you to; or
- you breach your Data Licence Agreement and that breach can’t be fixed.
If this happens, your right to use our Data ends and you must delete any Data and material you created using our Data.
- When might your Licence be suspended or revoked?
- Without limiting our other rights under your Data Licence Agreement, and to the extent permitted by law, we may revoke or suspend your Licence, with immediate effect by written notice to you if we have reasonable grounds to suspect that you:
- have contravened or are contravening any Laws;
- have breached any terms of the Geoscape Terms of Use, and we terminate your Geoscape Account in accordance with those terms;
- due to your act or omission, have caused damage to our reputation, goodwill or other interests;
- due to your act or omission, have allowed unauthorised access to our Data, Derived Material or Geoscape;
- have breached any term of your Data Licence Agreement and:
- if the breach is capable of remedy, have not remedied the breach within 14 days of receiving notice from us requiring the breach to be remedied; or
- the breach is not capable of remedy; or
- are subject to an Insolvency Event;
- On revocation of your Licence pursuant to clause 19.1:
- your Data Licence Agreement will terminate with immediate effect;
- you must, at your cost, delete any Data and Derived Material subject to the revoked Licence in your possession or control; and
- on request from us, sign and return to us a statutory declaration satisfactory to us confirming your compliance with clause 19.2(b) within 14 days of our request.
- Each party retains any rights, entitlements or remedies it has accrued before termination, including the right to pursue all remedies available to either party at law or in equity.
Tax is important! So, you agree to pay GST where it is applicable.
The fees in your Quote do not include GST (unless we expressly say otherwise).
- How is GST payable?
- In this clause, words and expressions which are defined in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth) (as amended, varied or replaced from time to time) have the same meaning given to them by that Act.
- Unless otherwise expressly stated in writing in your Data Licence Agreement, all amounts payable by you in connection with your Data Licence Agreement do not include an amount for GST. If GST is payable on any supply made by us under your Data Licence Agreement, you must pay to us, in addition to and at the same time as the payment for the supply, an amount equal to the amount of GST on the supply. Where you are required by your Data Licence Agreement to reimburse or indemnify us for any Loss or other amount incurred, the amount to be reimbursed or paid will be reduced by the amount of any input tax credit that we will be entitled to claim for the Loss or amount incurred and increased by the amount of any GST payable by us in respect of the reimbursement or payment.
We do our best, but sometimes things might not add up in our documents.
Where this happens look at your Quote first, followed by these Terms, then lastly any other documents that are referred to.
- What if there is inconsistency in the terms and conditions?
- Unless otherwise specified in your Data Licence Agreement, in the event of an inconsistency between the documents which make up your Data Licence Agreement, the following order of precedence will apply to the extent of the inconsistency:
- your Quote;
- these Terms; then
- any other documents incorporated by reference.
Last are what the lawyers call the ‘boilerplates’. Don’t worry, you are nearly there!
You can’t transfer any promises you make to us or rights you have to someone else without our permission./p>
If we don’t think it will affect your rights, we can assign, subcontract and deal with our rights and obligations.
We both agree that we only waive our rights if we let one another know in writing that we are doing so.
If any part of your Data Licence Agreement is found to be unworkable, that part will be severed, and the rest of your Agreement will live on.
Speaking of living on, certain terms will still be binding even if your Data Licence Agreement is terminated.
Like in any good relationship, each of us will behave in a manner that supports the promises we’ve given each other.
Your Data Licence Agreement does not make us partners. We are independent contractors to each other.
We should give each other notice via email.
Your Data Licence Agreement is governed by the laws of the Australian Capital Territory.

Waiver of any rights under your Data Licence Agreement must be in writing and is only effective to the extent set out in that written waiver.
- If any provision of your Data Licence Agreement is void, unenforceable or illegal and would not be so if words were omitted, then those words are to be severed and if this cannot be done, the entire provision is to be severed from your Data Licence Agreement without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.

- Each party must:
- do all acts necessary or desirable to give full effect to your Data Licence Agreement; and
- refrain from doing anything which might prevent full effect being given to your Data Licence Agreement.
- The relationship between the parties is and will remain that of independent contractors, and nothing in your Data Licence Agreement constitutes the parties as partners or joint venturers or constitutes any party as the agent of another party or gives rise to any other form of fiduciary relationship between the parties.
- Other than where notices are required to be hand delivered by law, notices from a party must be delivered electronically and sent to the following email addresses:
- where you send notice to us, our contact email address as set out in Geoscape from time to time: and

- Notices will be deemed to have been received by email within one hour of the email being sent (unless the sender knows that email has failed).
- Your Data Licence Agreement is governed by the laws in force in Australian Capital Territory, and the parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Australian Capital Territory and the Federal Court of Australia.
