Neither Customer nor its Authorized Developer shall knowingly, after making such inquiries as a reasonable person in Customer’s or its Authorized Developer’s position would undertake, use or permit others to use the Software or Mappedin Works, or any portion thereof, in isolation or with any other software, digital product, or data, including any Customer Materials, in a manner that in Mappedin’s judgment, acting reasonably, interferes with, degrades or adversely affects any software, system, network or data used by any person including Mappedin or its partners or otherwise has a detrimental effect upon Mappedin or any of their respective customers or products or services, and Customer or its Authorized Developer will immediately cease any such activity upon Mappedin delivering notice requiring same to Customer. Further, neither Customer nor its Authorized Developer will use or permit others to use the Software to commit a crime, or for any tortious purpose; or resell or attempt to resell, or except as expressly contemplated by the Proposal or as otherwise agreed in writing by Mappedin, otherwise make or attempt to make available to third parties the right(s) to access the Software or Mappedin Works or any data contained therein. Further, neither Customer nor its Authorized Developer shall exceed, nor permit any other person to exceed, any usage limits or quotas or access the Software in a manner designed to improperly avoid incurring fees; remove or alter any proprietary rights notices on the Software; circumvent any security technology that is part of the Software, or attempt to do any of the foregoing.
2.4 No Reverse Engineering. Neither Customer nor its Authorized Developer shall alter, modify, adapt, create derivative works, deface, disassemble, or Reverse Engineer the Software or any other Mappedin supplied product or service (including any Mappedin Works), or attempt to do so, or permit, acquiesce, authorize or encourage any other person to do so. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Reverse Engineer” means any act of reverse engineering, translating, disassembling, decompiling, decrypting, scraping, or deconstructing (including any aspect of “dumping of RAM/ROM or persistent storage”, “cable or wireless link sniffing”, “protocol analysis” or “black box” reverse engineering) data, software (including backend APIs, interfaces and any other data included in or used in conjunction with programs that may or may not technically be considered software code) or hardware or any method of obtaining or converting any information, data or software from one form into human-readable form or such other form as enables Customer or its Authorized Developer to utilize that information, the digital maps or data contained therein or software for purposes other than those contemplated by this Agreement.
2.5 Ownership of Customer Materials, Software and Mappedin Works. With the exception of the right to enforce the restrictions in Section 2.4 and obligations in Section 2,6, nothing herein transfers any ownership right, title or interest in or to any Customer Materials to Mappedin. Mappedin shall have the right to use the Customer Materials solely to provide the Services and to train and otherwise improve its Software. Nothing in this Agreement transfers or grants to Customer or to any User or its Authorized Developer, any ownership right, title or interest in or to any Software or to any Mappedin Works, or in or to any intellectual property right associated with the Software or Mappedin Works, or to any portion thereof. For avoidance of doubt, subject to Customer’s underlying rights in Customer Materials, Mappedin shall own all rights, title and interest and all intellectual property rights in or to any subject matter created, developed or contributed by Mappedin or its Software hereunder (including any Mappedin Works). Without limiting the foregoing Mappedin shall have the right to use analytics generated by the Software to provide the Services and improve the Software. Customer and its Authorized Developer agree to sign such further documents and take such further steps as Mappedin indicates are reasonably necessary to give effect to this provision and further agrees that neither of them shall challenge the enforceability or validity of this provision.

In instances where the Mappedin Works are intended to be accessible by the general public, Customer shall use reasonable commercial efforts to prevent third parties from obtaining the benefit of the commercial opportunities in the Mappedin Works and any Customer Materials contained therein. Without limiting the foregoing, where the Mappedin Works are intended to be accessible by the general public, Customer shall make gaining access to a website or app in which a Mappedin Work can be accessed subject to terms and conditions which include the following language or its equivalent, “You may only use or reproduce any digital maps or data contained therein for your own personal and non-commercial use. The framing, scraping, datamining, extraction or collection of the digital maps and data contained therein, in any form and by any means whatsoever is strictly prohibited. Furthermore, you may not mirror any such materials.” In addition, Customer shall include a robots.txt file in its website which shall strictly prohibit crawling and scraping in relation to any Mappedin Works and any Customer Materials contained therein.
2.7 Feedback and Innovations. Customer and its Authorized Developer agree to provide Mappedin with feedback on the Software and any portion thereof, and on any beta testing of new functionality or products and services, as reasonably requested by Mappedin and hereby agrees that Mappedin shall own all such feedback, including any associated intellectual property rights. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the knowledge it has with respect to digital maps and wayfinding directories and the uses thereof, is based in large part on its access to the Software, and Customer and its Authorized Developers hereby agree that in consideration of the access to the Software and Mappedin’s business granted herein, they shall not take any steps or threaten to take any steps, directly or indirectly through some other person, to prevent Mappedin from further developing the Software or any portion thereof, in any manner whatsoever, or to prevent Mappedin, its distributors, resellers, value added resellers, technology partners or integrators (collectively “Partners”) from distributing the Software or such further developments or from their respective customers using the Software or such developments whether Customer develops or implements such further developments or obtains associated intellectual property rights (including for avoidance of doubt, patent rights) related to the Software or developments prior to Mappedin doing so or not. Customer and its Authorized Developers further agree that they shall not seek any compensation from Mappedin, its Partners or customers in relation to such developments and agrees to sign such further documents and take such further steps as Mappedin indicates are reasonably necessary to give effect to this provision and further agrees that it shall not challenge the enforceability or validity of this provision.
2.8 Limitations on Mappedin’s Responsibility. Unless Mappedin expressly agrees otherwise, its sole responsibility is the provision of the Software and Services. Customer shall be responsible to provide all other aspects of its system, including any required hardware or telecommunications equipment or services and any Customer Materials required to create the digital maps. Mappedin shall have no responsibility for: (i) any performance or non-performance of these Third-Party Products and Services or for any third party cloud services; and (ii) any delays caused by delays in Customer fulfilling these requirements.
3. Fees

Access Fees for licenses added after the term commences shall be pro-rated based on the Customer’s initial set-up date.
3.2 Software shall be delivered to Customer by way of a secure website and Customer shall be responsible for all insurance and other costs, including, but not limited to, any import duties or other taxes (except for taxes on the income of Mappedin) associated with the supply of Software and Services under this Agreement.

4. Confidentiality
4.1 The Parties acknowledge and agree that they may disclose to the other Party (each in turn a “Disclosing Party”) certain Confidential Information in order to further the purposes of this Agreement. The Party receiving such information (the “Receiving Party”) will hold in confidence and except as specifically authorized in writing by the Disclosing Party shall not disclose to any third party (including to any Authorized Developer) any Confidential Information disclosed to them or to which they are provided access in relation to this Agreement. It shall not be a breach of this requirement to; (a) provide the Confidential Information to employees or legal advisors of the Receiving Party, that have a need to know to fulfill the purposes of this Agreement and are each subject to confidentiality obligations consistent with the requirements in this provision; or (b) disclose the Confidential Information to the extent required to do so by a court of law provided that the Receiving Party uses all reasonable efforts to provide sufficient notice of this requirement to the Disclosing Party to enable the Disclosing Party to seek an order limiting or preventing the disclosure of the Confidential Information. The Receiving Party further agrees not to use or reproduce the Confidential Information except as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes of this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall ensure that it has taken precautions that are consistent with industry practices and in all instances are not less than a reasonable standard of care to ensure that the Confidential Information is not lost or stolen. Upon the termination of this Agreement or at any time upon request, the Receiving Party shall either return the Confidential Information or have an officer certify its destruction, provided that this obligation shall not apply to any archival copies of the Confidential Information which form part of the automatic back-up of the Receiving Party’s data. These restrictions shall apply for three years following the expiry or termination of this Agreement, except in the case of trade secrets when they shall apply for so long as the Confidential Information in question remains a trade secret.
5. Privacy
5.1 Neither of the Parties believe that any Personal Information is being collected under this Agreement. If either Party wishes to change this at any time the Party intending to collect the Personal Information must provide prior written notice to the other Party regarding its intention and must obtain the prior written agreement of that Party prior to collecting any Personal Information in any manner that would impose legal obligations with respect to the collection, storage or use of the Personal Information on the other Party.
5.2 If Customer or its Users provide any Personal Information to Mappedin or its agents and/or independent contractors, either directly or through the use of the Software, Customer represents and warrants that Customer has obtained all necessary consents from the identifiable individual to the collection, use, processing, storage, transmission and/or disclosure of such information by or to Mappedin, its agents and/or independent contractors solely for the internal use of Mappedin to: (i) understand and meet Customer’s and the User’s needs and preferences and to provide services to Customer and Users, and (ii) assist Customer and Users to use the Mappedin Works provided to Customer; and (iii) manage and develop Mappedin’s business and operations; and/or for (iv) any of the other purposes, which are set out in Mappedin’s then current privacy policy, which may be viewed at https://mappedin.com/privacy-policy, and (v) any other purpose for which Customer or its Users expressly consent.
5.3 Customer hereby agrees that Mappedin may extract and create aggregated and anonymized data from any data contained in the Mappedin Works and/or Customer Materials (“Extracted Data”). Extracted Data shall not contain, disclose or otherwise identify Users. Mappedin uses Extracted Data to create, or to train and thereby improve, algorithms used in the Software or Services and to otherwise improve Mappedin products and services. Mappedin shall exclusively own all rights, including all intellectual property rights in and to all Extracted Data.
