If you have a Hivemapper account, you may be able to upload Content to the Services. If you choose to upload Contributor Content, you attest to its locational accuracy and content authenticity. Additionally, you must not submit to the Services any Content that does not comply with this Agreement or the law. For example, the Content you submit must not include third-party intellectual property (such as copyrighted material) unless you have permission from that party or are otherwise legally entitled to do so. You are legally responsible for your Contributor Content. Content can include, for example, dashcam video, still images, GPS information, etc. You assume sole responsibility for any Content you post and you alone are liable for the consequences when you post Content.

Additionally, when you submit Contributor Content, you must make sure it is lawful. For example, you may not submit Content that:

(1) is manipulated in any manner that would lead to an incorrect map;

(2) attempts to trick people by providing false, incomplete, or manipulated content;

(3) is knowingly not collected at the location it claims to be at;

The foregoing examples of unlawful Content are made solely for illustrative purposes and do not constitute an exhaustive list of restricted Content.

Hivemapper may decline to publish, or immediately delete any Contributor Content you submit if you or the Content have violated this Agreement or if you engaged in a commission or omission that is harmful or may be harmful to the Services, its Users, Hivemapper or any of its agents or affiliates. In such cases, Hivemapper may also terminate your access to the Services or prevent you from posting additional Content on the Services. The provisions of this clause are made in addition to any rights afforded to Hivemapper by any law.

Contributor Content does not reflect the views of Hivemapper. Publishing or processing Contributor Content does not warrant its validity, reliability, accuracy, legality or it being up-to-date.

“Generated Content” means both: (1) the Content resulting from the processing from the Software and available to view on the website (“Map Content”); and (2) the corresponding data returned through the Hivemapper Map Data Console (“Map Products”). Except as expressly permitted to Customers who have a signed Order Form with Hivemapper, Users are allowed only to view and search Generated Content and are not permitted to download, export, copy, manipulate or mine any Generated Content.

Hivemapper and/or third parties retain ownership and/or other applicable rights in all Generated Content and all Content other than Contributor Content.

When you submit Contributor Content, you represent and warrant that you own all intellectual property rights in the Content; that you are permitted to publish the Content and to permit Hivemapper to use the Content and exploit all intellectual property rights in and to the Content. Hivemapper receives no ownership rights in and to your Contributor Content. However, by submitting Content to Hivemapper, you hereby grant Hivemapper an irrevocable, worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sub-licenseable and transferable license to use, copy, distribute, and prepare derivative works from the Content. The license granted to Hivemapper in and to the Content you submit is not limited to personal use, but also extends to any commercial use of Content, at Hivemapper’s sole and absolute discretion. Other Users will not have access to your Contributor Content, though we reserve the right to change this in the future, in which case we will notify you prior to making your Content publicly available.

You may request to remove your Content from Hivemapper at any time, but removing such will not affect the Generated Content already created from your Content.

Hivemapper reserves the right to remove any Contributor Content that is found to be in breach of this Agreement.

As between the parties, Hivemapper owns and retains all right, title and interest in and to all of the Products, all improvements, modifications and derivative works of the foregoing, and all intellectual property rights in any of the foregoing. To the extent that Customer acquires any right, title or interest in or to any Product (including without limitation the Service), any deliverable, or any intellectual property rights therein, Customer hereby assigns to Hivemapper all such right, title and interest. Except for the licenses Hivemapper expressly grants to Customer hereunder, Customer is not provided with any license or right to the Products or the intellectual property rights therein, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise. Customer is not granted any right to use any Hivemapper trademark, service mark, logo or trade name.

Contributors and Customer, its authorized users and its other employees and agents may (but are not required to) provide Hivemapper with suggestions, comments or other feedback regarding the Products ("Feedback"). If Customer, its authorized users or its other employees and agents do provide Hivemapper with Feedback, then Hivemapper may, and you hereby grant Hivemapper a license to, freely use, disclose, reproduce, license, distribute and otherwise commercially exploit such Feedback in connection with any product, technology, service, specification or other documentation.

You may terminate your use of the Services at any time and for whatever reason. You are not obligated to advise Hivemapper of such termination. To delete your Hivemapper account and your personal information contained in the account, you may complete the account deletion process from the settings tab of the Hivemapper App. On receiving such a request, Hivemapper will use reasonable efforts to delete such information, however please note that information may not be deleted immediately from our back-up systems. When deleting your account, unless as a result from legal proceedings or obligations, Hivemapper will retain and continue to use the Generated Content that was created from Content you provided to Hivemapper.

If not specified in an Order Form, Hivemapper retains the right to block your access to the Services and discontinue your use of the Services, at any time and for any reason Hivemapper deems appropriate, at its sole and absolute discretion.

We will notify you with the reason for termination by Hivemapper unless we reasonably believe that to do so: (a) would violate the law or the direction of a legal enforcement authority, or would otherwise risk legal liability for Hivemapper; (b) would compromise an investigation or the integrity or operation of the Services; or (c) would cause harm to any user, other third party or Hivemapper. Where Hivemapper is terminating your access for Services changes, where reasonably possible, you will be provided with sufficient time to export your Content from the Services.

If your Hivemapper account is terminated, you may continue using certain aspects of the Services (such as viewing only) without an account, and this Agreement will continue to apply to such use. If you believe your Hivemapper account has been terminated in error, you can appeal by contacting us.

If Hivemapper is unable to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement because of severe weather, natural disasters, acts of God, riots, wars, theft, governmental action, acts of our suppliers, or other events beyond our reasonable control, then we are relieved from our performance of such obligations to the extent, and for the duration, that such performance is prevented by such events.

You represent and warrant that: (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Hivemapper does not ship dashcams to such countries and does not allow residents of such countries to access Map Products.

You and Hivemapper consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
