USERS MUST READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE INDICATING ACCEPTANCE BY LOGGING INTO THE ROADSAFE GIS APPLICATION.

  1. LICENSE GRANT. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, RoadSafe GIS grants User a nonexclusive, nontransferable license to access and use the Software and Services for internal business purposes only, without the right to sublicense such rights, provided User unconditionally agrees to access and use the Software and Services in accordance with this Agreement (“License”). Under the License, User may print out, or otherwise make, printed copies (“Copies”) of the reports, numeric results, and other information or materials generated from User’s access and use of the Software and Services for internal business purposes only. Any updates, modifications, enhancements or new versions of the Software and Services provided or made available to User by RoadSafe GIS, in accordance with Section 14 of this Agreement, shall be considered Software and Services subject to this Agreement. RoadSafe GIS may at any time and for any reason elect to modify, discontinue, delete or restrict any aspect or feature of the Software and Services without notice to User or any liability to RoadSafe GIS or any RoadSafe GIS Party (as defined in Section 2); however, RoadSafe GIS agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts to provide User with prior notice of any such changes.
  2. DISCLAIMERS. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, (A) THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS” AND, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RoadSafe GIS AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, LICENSORS, SUBCONTRACTORS AND AGENTS (“RoadSafe GIS PARTIES”) DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND ACCURACY; (B) NEITHER RoadSafe GIS NOR ANY RoadSafe GIS PARTY WARRANTS THAT THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES ARE OR WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, UNINTERRUPTED, WITHOUT ERROR, OR FREE OF VIRUSES, WORMS, OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR OTHER PROGRAM LIMITATIONS; (C) USER ASSUMES THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR, OR CORRECTION OF PROBLEMS CAUSED BY VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, UNLESS SUCH ERRORS OR VIRUSES ARE THE DIRECT RESULT OF RoadSafe GIS’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT; (D) EACH OF RoadSafe GIS AND THE RoadSafe GIS PARTIES DISCLAIM AND MAKE NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE ACCURACY, QUALITY, RELIABILITY, SUITABILITY, COMPLETENESS, TRUTHFULNESS, USEFULNESS, OR EFFECTIVENESS OF THE REPORTS, DATA, SCORES, RESULTS OR OTHER INFORMATION OBTAINED, GENERATED OR OTHERWISE RECEIVED BY USER FROM ACCESSING AND/OR USING THE SOFTWARE AND/OR SERVICES OR OTHERWISE RESULTING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, AND (E) USE OF THE SOFTWARE, SERVICES AND REPORTS IS ENTIRELY AT USER’S OWN RISK AND RoadSafe GIS AND EACH OF RoadSafe GIS PARTIES SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY THEREFOR.
  3. LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY. THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF RoadSafe GIS AND THE RoadSafe GIS PARTIES IN THE AGGREGATE TO USER OR ANY THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES WILL BE LIMITED TO THE PAYMENTS RECEIVED FROM USER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. RoadSafe GIS AND THE RoadSafe GIS PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE SOFTWARE AND/OR SERVICES, WHETHER OR NOT RoadSafe GIS AND ITS LICENSORS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND WHETHER BASED UPON BREACH OF CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE). RoadSafe GIS AND THE RoadSafe GIS PARTIES SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ALTERATION, DESTRUCTION OR LOSS OF ANY DATA OR INFORMATION INPUT, GENERATED OR OBTAINED FROM ACCESS AND/OR USE OF THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY REPORTS OR NUMERIC RESULTS, WHETHER OR NOT RoadSafe GIS AND THE RoadSafe GIS PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES AND LIABILITIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN RoadSafe GIS AND USER, AND THE PRICING FOR THE LICENSE REFLECTS SUCH LIMITATIONS.
