ARD LICENSE TERMS
Version B7-22-21
These ARD License Terms (the “License Terms”) apply to your use of Maxar's Analysis Ready Data Subscription Services Product (as further defined below, "Product") that you have licensed either from an Affiliate of Maxar Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices located at 1300 W. 120th Avenue, Westminster, Colorado 80234 USA (“Maxar”) directly or from an authorized Reseller of Maxar. These License Terms are entered into by Maxar and Customer. These License Terms contain the general terms relating to Customer’s access to and use of the Product. The applicable Agreement sets forth the terms pursuant to which Customer purchased the license to use the Subscription Services Product. If the terms of the Agreement conflict with any provisions in these License Terms, these License Terms control unless expressly agreed in writing by Maxar.
1. SUBSCRIPTIONS. Subscription parameters are identified in the applicable Order Confirmation. Descriptions of the parameters are contained in the applicable Product Specification. The subscription term will begin on the Start Date and will continue for the Term set forth in the applicable Order Confirmation, unless terminated in accordance with the Agreement (the “Initial Term”). Customer may renew the subscription by placing a separate Order Confirmation, and paying additional Fees. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Order Confirmation, the Renewal Term Fee applicable to any Renewal Term of a Subscription Services Product will be equal to Maxar’s then current Fee on the date of renewal for the applicable Subscription Services Product. If, with respect to any Subscription Services Product, Maxar offers a promotional Fee or discount, unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Order Confirmation, that Fee or discount will only apply to the Initial Term. Customer can add to subscriptions for Subscription Service Products during a subscription Term at the same pricing as the underlying Order Confirmation by using a supplemental Order Confirmation form that references the current Order Confirmation; supplemental data access added to subscriptions at any point during the subscription term will terminate on the same date as then-current subscription term. If Customer’s usage of the Subscription Services Product exceeds the quantity specified in the applicable Order Confirmation and Product Specifications, Maxar will invoice on a per calendar quarter basis, and Customer must promptly purchase and pay, all applicable Fees for the excess quantity. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Order Confirmation, overage Fees will be equal to the unit Fees set forth in the underlying Order Confirmation for the Product.
2. CONTENT LICENSE AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
2.1 TITLE AND OWNERSHIP. All right, title and interest in and to the Subscription Services Product, including all Content and all corrections, enhancements, or other modifications thereto made by Maxar or any person at Maxar’s direction, and all Intellectual Property Rights therein are the sole and exclusive property of Maxar or its suppliers, as applicable. All rights not expressly granted to Customer are reserved by Maxar.
2.2 CONTENT LICENSE GRANT. Subject to Customer’s compliance with the Agreement, including, without limitation, payment of all applicable Fees, during the Term, Maxar grants to Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to allow its Authorized Users to store, access, use, and reproduce Content, and create Derivatives of Content solely for Internal Use.

This limited warranty is void if any non-conformity has resulted from any accident, abuse, misuse, misapplication or modification of or to the Subscription Service Product by anyone other than Maxar or any breach by Customer of the Agreement. Except as expressly warranted in this article 8, the Subscription Service Products are provided “as is,” without any warranty of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement or nonmisappropriation 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. NEITHER MAXAR NOR ITS SUPPLIERS WARRANT THAT THE PRODUCT WILL BE ACCURATE, CURRENT OR COMPLETE, THAT THE PRODUCT WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S NEEDS OR EXPECTATIONS OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE PRODUCT WILL BE ERROR FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED. FURTHER, SPATIAL, SPECTRAL AND TEMPORAL ACCURACY IS NOT GUARANTEED.
