You may order the Licensed Software by selecting the desired options using the tools and interfaces provided by Geoman, where comprehensive information about the Licensed Software, including license type and model, price, Subscription Period, number of developer seats, and other relevant details are available for review. Once a Purchase Order has been submitted and subsequently approved by Geoman, the Purchase Order becomes binding on both parties. Geoman may issue a purchase confirmation(s) by email, detailing the Licensed Software purchased. This serves as official notification of the transaction and ratifies your entitlement to use the Licensed Software in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

3. GRANT OF LICENSE

3.1. General. This Agreement grants you no rights or licenses unless you comply in full with all the terms, conditions, and restrictions of this Agreement, including the timely payment of all applicable fees. All licenses hereunder are non-exclusive, personal, non-transferable (except as provided in Clause 12), and worldwide. Failure to comply with any of the terms, conditions or restrictions, or failure to make timely payments, will result in immediate termination of this Agreement and revocation of the rights granted hereunder.

3.2. Per-Developer License Grant. All Licensed Software is licensed on a per-developer basis and each developer must have an individual, valid license. The number of developers authorised to use the Licensed Software is specified in each Purchase Order and rights under this Agreement cannot exceed that number. Exceeding this limit is a material breach of this Agreement; however, the licenses are not nominal, which means that the Licensed Software can be used by any of your developers, provided that the number of licenses purchased is not exceeded. A 'Developer' is defined as anyone who accesses, interacts with, or uses the Licensed Software in any part of the software development process, including but not limited to coding, programming, configuration, integration or testing.

3.3. Expansion. You must, at your sole discretion, purchase additional developer seats for the Licensed Software as needed to accommodate growth or changes in development needs. This acquisition may be done through the use of online tools provided by Geoman or by direct contact with Geoman.

4. LICENSE TYPES AND MODELS

4.1. The Licensed Software is made available to you under several License Types and two License Models as described herein. You can purchase multiple licenses of different License Types and License Models. The specific License Type(s) and License Model(s) granted to you will be as set out in the applicable Purchase Order and reflected in your account interface provided by Geoman.

(a) License Types. Depending on your use of the Licensed Software, you may purchase one or more License Types:

(i) Internal License. Under the Internal License, you are granted the right to use the Licensed Software to create an unlimited number of internal websites that are accessible to internal users, such as internal tools, intranet applications, or internal dashboards. Such websites are to be used solely for your internal business purposes and are not to be developed on behalf of or delivered to external clients or customers. If the Licensed Software is to be used to develop websites for external clients or customers, a separate license must be purchased for each such client or customer, either by you purchasing the license on behalf of the client or customer, or directly by the client or customer.

(ii) Commercial License. In addition to the rights granted under the Internal License, under the Commercial License you are further granted the right to use the Licensed Software to create a one SaaS (Software as a Service) project or another type of customer-facing application for your own commercial purposes. However, you are not permitted to develop the Licensed Software on behalf of external clients or customers, nor deliver it or any derivative works to them. If the Licensed Software is to be used to develop projects for external clients or customers, a separate license must be purchased for each such client or customer, either by you on their behalf or directly by the client or customer.

(iii) Enterprise License

The Enterprise License grants all the rights contained in the Internal License and Commercial License. In addition, it allows you to use the Licensed Software to create an unlimited number of web, desktop, and mobile applications, as well as print products, for internal use or for external clients. Specifically, the Enterprise License permits the development of websites and projects for external clients or customers.

The Enterprise License provides you with additional rights to use the Licensed Software in:

  1. The development of projects within your affiliates.
  2. The creation and distribution of "white label" products—that is, to develop products using the Licensed Software and then sell those products to third parties, who may rebrand and sell them as their own products, subject to their own end-user license agreements.
  3. Software development projects, including but not limited to the development of applications in various programming languages.
  4. The creation and deployment of an unlimited number of SaaS (Software as a Service) applications.

(b) License Models. Each License Type is available only as a Subscription License.

(i) Subscription License. The Subscription License grants you the right to use the Licensed Software to develop new or modify existing projects only during the active Subscription Period, which is maintained on an annual basis by prepayment of the specified subscription fee. Subscriptions are automatically renewed every 12 months, subject to prepayment. Failure to renew, including for payment reasons, will result in termination of the subscription and the right to operate, use and develop new or modify existing projects using the Licensed Software.

You have the right to cancel the subscription at any time, effectively disabling the automatic renewal feature, however no refund will be made. Upon termination or expiry of your subscription, you retain the right to develop new or modify existing projects using the Licensed Software until the end of the fully paid Subscription Period.

During the fully paid Subscription Period, you are entitled to receive minor and major updates and upgrades and to use any version of the Licensed Software, including the latest version.

During the fully paid Subscription Period you may adjust the number of developer seats as needed by using online tools provided by Geoman. A reduction in the number of developer seats will not affect the current Subscription Period and no refund will be made; the adjusted number of seats and any change in the subscription fee will take effect at the next renewed Subscription Period. Conversely, an increase in developer seats is effective immediately, with the additional subscription fee prorated based on the time remaining in the current Subscription Period.

5. RESTRICTIONS

5.1. You agree that you will not: (i) defeat, disable or circumvent any protection mechanism associated with the Licensed Software; (ii) use the Licensed Software, or any part thereof, to develop a product that directly competes with the Licensed Software; (iii) rent, lease or lend the Licensed Software; (iv) to the extent permitted by applicable law, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Licensed Software; or (v) use the Licensed Software in breach of this Agreement.

5.2. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as conferring any right, license or title, express or implied, to you other than those expressly granted by this license. Unauthorised copying of the Licensed Software or failure to comply with the restrictions contained herein will result in automatic termination of this License and will constitute immediate and irreparable harm to Geoman for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, in which case injunctive relief shall be an adequate remedy for such breach.

6. THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

In such cases, Geoman (i) does not directly grant any rights or licenses to such The Licensed Software may contain or be supplied with third party software, the rights to which are owned by such third parties, but merely facilitates the transfer of licenses from such third parties, and (ii) assumes no responsibility or liability for the performance, compliance, or any other aspect related to such The Licensed Software may contain or be supplied with third party software, the rights to which are owned by such third parties.

Please contact Geoman by email ([email protected]) for support subscription offers and details.

8. PAYMENT TERMS

8.1. You agree to pay all charges for your use of the Licensed Software. In the case of Subscription License, failure to pay in a timely manner will result in termination of your right and use of the Licensed Software.

Subscription fees are charged in advance.

8.3. Purchases are final and non-refundable, except as required by law or stated in the Purchase Order. Claims for billing errors must be made within 90 days. Refunds or credits issued at Geoman' discretion do not constitute a policy for future refunds or credits.

8.4. In addition to any other amounts payable under this Agreement, you shall pay all sales, withholding and other taxes, however denominated, which are levied or imposed by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent that you are required to withhold any amount otherwise payable to Geoman for tax or bank charges, you shall pay such amount in addition so that Geoman receives the full amount without deduction for tax or bank charges.

8.5. Geoman reserves the right to change the Subscription License fees for any subsequent subscription period. You will be notified of any such fee changes at least 30 days prior to the end of the current Subscription Period.
