  1. Licensing
  • The Services delivered have a complex feature set, some of these features are available for free (basic features), and in order to use others (professional features) you need to purchase or subscribe to a license. Even for the basic features, after a short initial trial period you have to register with a valid e-mail address which registration is a prerequisite for license purchase and subscription, too. Registration to Services doesn’t equally mean that you need to pay for using them. All such situations where payment is required to access a part or total of Services is clearly communicated prior of their usage.
  • Feature access restriction. Your right to use the Software is limited to the basic functions which exclude exporting, integration, storage and presentation features until you purchase a license. Most of our licenses are time limited, so you are not entitled to use these features of the Software after that time frame your license is expired but you can still use the basic or other features with a valid license.
  • Software licensing and activation. Lawful use of the Software requires activation of the Software. Software activation is a technology, which controls the lawful use of the Software with a specific Device. During activation, the Software will send information to Surveyorpad about the Software, the registered user and will place a device identifier onto the Device by Surveyorpad, by which Surveyorpad will be able to check if you have a lawful license. This information includes the version, language and license identification key of the Software, some internal identity numbers of the computer hardware and the hardware configuration of the Device which we use only for this purpose. For further technical information, see our knowledge base or contact the customer service of Surveyorpad. By using the Software, you consent to the transmission of this information. After purchasing you have the right to use the features of the Software determined by the license you purchased on up to two Devices (alternatively, not simultaneously). After purchasing a valid license, you can activate the Software with the e-mail address and password you have provided during registration as your account identifier. It is essential that you possess these registration data and the invoice confirming the purchase of the Software.
  • Update and Upgrade. If the Software is marked “Upgrade” or “Update”, then in order to use the Software you are obliged to have a proper license which Surveyorpad acknowledges as suitable for updating. The Software titled Upgrade/Update replaces and/or supplements the product that has served as a basis of the upgrade. The result of the upgraded product shall be used only according to the provisions of the present Agreement. If the Software is an upgrade of an element of a software package that was licensed earlier to you, you are entitled to use or transfer the Software solely as part of a unified program package and you cannot separate it for the purpose of applying it on more than two Device. If you have purchased a perpetual license, you have right to use only the Updates/Upgrades which have the same Major Version you have purchased, unless the right of use of the given Upgrade/Update is expressly granted differently for you by Surveyorpad.
  • Upon expiration or termination of these terms, any perpetual licenses you have granted, your indemnification obligations, our warranty disclaimers or limitations of liabilities, and dispute resolution provisions stated in these terms will survive. Upon the expiration or termination of the Services, some or all of the Software may cease to operate without prior notice.
  • Other License Types.
  • NFR Version. We may designate the Software or Services as “trial”, “evaluation”, “not for resale”, or other similar designation (“NFR Version”). You may install and use the NFR Version only during the period and only for the purposes that we have stated when we provide the NFR Version. You must not use any materials you produce with the NFR Version for anything other than non-commercial purposes.
  • Pre-release Version. We may designate the Software or Services, or a feature of the Software or Services, as a pre-release or beta version (“Pre-release Version”). Pre-release Version does not represent the final product and may contain bugs that may cause system or other failure and data loss. We may choose not to commercially release the Pre-release Version. You must promptly cease using the Pre-release Version and destroy all copies of Pre-release Version if we request you to do so, or if we release a commercial version of the Pre-release Version. Any separate agreement we enter into with you governing the Pre-release Version will supersede the provisions on Pre-Release Version set out in this section.
