PRODUCT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Version F1-28-19
PLEASE READ THESE PRODUCT TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING ANY DIGITALGLOBE PRODUCTS.
Your Order Confirmation, together with these Product Terms and Conditions and the applicable End User License Terms, are, collectively, your agreement for the license of DigitalGlobe Products (the “Agreement”). This Agreement constitutes a legally binding contract between DigitalGlobe, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices located at 1300 W. 120th Avenue, Westminster, Colorado 80234 USA (“DigitalGlobe”), and Customer, as identified in the applicable Order Confirmation.
By signing or otherwise indicating acceptance of an Order Confirmation referencing these Product Terms and Conditions or downloading, accessing or using any DigitalGlobe Product, Customer is accepting and agreeing to be bound by this Agreement. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree to the terms on the Order Confirmation or these Product Terms and Conditions, do not sign or otherwise accept an Order Confirmation and do not download, access or use any DigitalGlobe Product.
If Customer has an existing formal written agreement with DigitalGlobe governing the Products provided by DigitalGlobe in Customer’s Order Confirmation, the terms in that agreement will supersede any contrary terms in these Product Terms and Conditions. Further, to the extent that any license terms embedded in a product are not consistent with this Agreement, the terms in this Agreement will supersede any contrary terms in any embedded text.
2.1 ORDER FORMS. Customer may order Products by completing an order form via the ordering process designated by DigitalGlobe from time to time. Following submission of an order form, DigitalGlobe will review the request and prepare an Order Confirmation.
2.2 ORDER CONFIRMATION. The Order Confirmation sets forth those Products DigitalGlobe offers to license to Customer, the license type, the number of Authorized Users (if applicable) and the license fee as well as other information relating to Customer’s order. Customer accepts an Order Confirmation by signing or otherwise indicating acceptance of an Order Confirmation (such as an email accepting the terms of the Order Confirmation) or by downloading, accessing or using any Product set forth on the Order Confirmation. Unless otherwise set forth on the Order Confirmation, each unaccepted Order Confirmation expires thirty (30) calendar days following the date the Order Confirmation is created; however, DigitalGlobe, in its sole discretion, may extend the expiration date of any Order Confirmation. If Customer accepts an Order Confirmation following the expiration date, that Order Confirmation will be effective and form part of the Agreement unless DigitalGlobe notifies Customer within five (5) calendar days that the Order Confirmation is rejected. Following acceptance by Customer of an Order Confirmation, Customer may only make changes to an Order Confirmation as set forth in Article 5 below.
2.3 REGULATORY APPROVAL. Customer understands that each Order Confirmation is subject to regulatory review after it is accepted by Customer. Accordingly, DigitalGlobe reserves the right to terminate any Order Confirmation upon notice via e-mail and without penalty if DigitalGlobe, in its sole discretion, determines that it is prohibited by law from fulfilling the order.
2.4 CONFLICTING TERMS. If any terms and conditions in an Order Confirmation are inconsistent with these Product Terms and Conditions, the terms and conditions in the Order Confirmation will govern. Customer waives, and DigitalGlobe rejects, any additional or inconsistent terms that may be included on Customer’s purchase orders, vendor forms, supplier registration portal(s), or otherwise submitted or referenced by Customer.
3.1 END USER LICENSE TERMS. Products are licensed and not sold under this Agreement. With respect to each Product licensed by Customer, the license type is set forth in the applicable Order Confirmation. The End User License Terms that correspond to each license type are available at https://www.digitalglobe.com/legal/information. The applicable End User License Terms are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.
3.2 PRODUCT SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Additional terms and conditions applicable to specific Products are set forth in Exhibit A.
4.1 TIME OF DELIVERY. Any delivery date and/or suggested end collection date set forth in an Order Confirmation is an estimate only. DigitalGlobe will not be liable if it fails to deliver a Product in accordance with a delivery date set forth in an Order Confirmation.
4.2 METHODS OF DELIVERY. Products will be delivered on DVD or external hard drive, via Electronic Delivery or via a DigitalGlobe Platform, as set forth in the applicable Order Confirmation and/or Product Specification. All Products are deemed accepted upon delivery.

(b) Electronic Delivery. DigitalGlobe will notify Customer by email when the applicable Product is available for download by Customer from the designated site. That email will also include instructions on how to download the Product(s). Products made available to Customer via Electronic Delivery are deemed to be delivered when the notification email is sent by DigitalGlobe. Customer will have fourteen (14) days from the date of this notification to download the Products from the designated site, after which the Products will be removed from the site.
(i) Extension Requests. During the original 14-day availability window, Customer may request one (1) extension of the time Products are available on the designated site free of charge. If Customer needs additional time to download the Products following the expiration of this extension, Customer must make an “Exact Copy Request” as described in Section 4.2(b)(ii) below.
(ii) Exact Copy Request. If Customer fails to download the Products while they are available on the designated site, Customer may request that an exact copy of the Products be provided via Electronic Delivery, DVD or external hard drive.

(iii) Errors. If Customer is unable to download the Products from the designated site due to an error by DigitalGlobe, Customer must notify DigitalGlobe during the initial 14-day period or extension and provide DigitalGlobe with a description of the error and the orders affected. If DigitalGlobe determines that the error was caused by DigitalGlobe, DigitalGlobe will, at its option, either repost the affected Products to the site or deliver the Products to Customer via DVD or external hard drive, each at no additional cost to Customer.
(c) DigitalGlobe Platforms. Subscription Services Products are made available to Customer and its Authorized Users online via a DigitalGlobe Platform. The Subscription Services Products are deemed to be delivered when Customer has been provided credentials to access the applicable DigitalGlobe Platform and DigitalGlobe sends an email notifying Customer that the Subscription Services Products are available on the DigitalGlobe Platform.
(i) Authorized Access. Authorized Users will access the DigitalGlobe Platform via the Internet by means of a specific account and passwords provided by DigitalGlobe.

If Customer determines that a Disabling Device has been transmitted to the systems or computers of DigitalGlobe, Customer will notify DigitalGlobe promptly of the transmission and the nature of the Virus or other device. DigitalGlobe may disable Customer’s access to the DigitalGlobe Platform and other DigitalGlobe computing systems and/or networks to protect DigitalGlobe’s computing systems and/or networks from a Disabling Device or if Customer breaches any of the security measures established by DigitalGlobe, including access or attempted access to the DigitalGlobe Platform by any unauthorized person. DigitalGlobe will notify Customer if it disables Customer’s access as soon as reasonably possible thereafter.
(iv) Changes. DigitalGlobe reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to add, revise and discontinue any Content and/or Tools in the Product and on the DigitalGlobe Platform and to make changes and modifications in specifications, construction and design of the Product and DigitalGlobe Platform.
(v) Anonymous Data. DigitalGlobe may collect and use Anonymous Information and disclose it internally and to its third party service providers, to support and improve DigitalGlobe’s operations, offerings, products, and services. DigitalGlobe may also use Anonymous Data for product marketing, research and development activities.

6.1 FEES. Customer will pay DigitalGlobe the applicable license, subscription, service and other fees for those Products licensed or purchased by Customer, as set forth in the applicable Order Confirmation (collectively, “Fees”). Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, all Fees are non-refundable.
(a) Subscription Services Products. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Order Confirmation, the fee applicable to any renewal term of a Subscription Services Product will be equal to DigitalGlobe’s then current fee on the date of renewal. If, with respect to any Subscription Services Product, DigitalGlobe offers a promotional fee or discount, unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Order Confirmation, that fee or discount will only apply to the first 12-month period of the Term (and not to any subsequent 12-month period in a multi-year term or any renewals).
6.2 INVOICES. DigitalGlobe or its Affiliate will invoice Customer for Products upon delivery unless otherwise set forth in Section 6.4 below or in Exhibit A. However, with respect to Subscription Services Products, unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Order Confirmation, the fee for the first 12-month period of the term will be invoiced upon delivery, and the fee for any subsequent 12-month periods of the Term will be invoiced on or after the first day of the applicable 12-month period.
6.3 CREDIT ACCOUNT. If Customer wishes to establish a credit account, Customer must complete a credit application and otherwise comply with DigitalGlobe’s requirements for establishing a credit account. DigitalGlobe may revoke Customer’s credit account at any time.
6.4 PAYMENT. If DigitalGlobe or its Affiliate authorizes a credit account, Customer must pay all invoices to DigitalGlobe or its Affiliate, as set forth in the applicable invoice, within thirty (30) days following the date of invoice. If Customer does not have a credit account or DigitalGlobe determines that Customer’s credit history and/or credit rating are not sufficient for the Order Confirmation, Customer may be required to pre-pay Fees, in which case Customer will be invoiced following acceptance of the Order Confirmation. All Fees are payable in US Dollars. All past due amounts will accrue interest at the lower rate of: (a) 1.5% per month; or (b) the highest rate permissible under applicable law. In the event of non-payment, DigitalGlobe reserves the right to suspend all current orders and any Subscription Services Products and refuse future orders until all past due amounts have been paid.
6.5 TAXES. All Fees do not include any sales, use, value-added, foreign withholding or other taxes, duties, fees, excises or tariffs imposed on the licensing, sale or use of the Products (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer is responsible for, and if applicable will reimburse DigitalGlobe within thirty (30) days of request, all Taxes and any related penalties, except for taxes imposed on DigitalGlobe’s net income. If Customer is required to withhold Taxes from payments, the amount due and payable to DigitalGlobe must still equal the Fees that would otherwise be payable had the Taxes not been withheld, and Customer must provide DigitalGlobe with a receipt or other acceptable documentation from the applicable taxing authority evidencing the payment of the Taxes.
7.1 TITLE AND OWNERSHIP. All right, title and interest in and to the Product(s), including all corrections, enhancements, or other modifications made by DigitalGlobe or any Third Party at DigitalGlobe’s direction, and all Intellectual Property Rights therein are the sole and exclusive property of DigitalGlobe or its suppliers, as applicable.
