PRODUCT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Version G4-21-21
PLEASE READ THESE PRODUCT TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING ANY MAXAR PRODUCTS.
Your Order Confirmation, together with these Product Terms and Conditions and the applicable End User License Terms, are, collectively, your agreement for the license of Maxar Products (the “Agreement”). This Agreement constitutes a legally binding contract and governs any Maxar Products provided by an Affiliate of Maxar Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices located at 1300 W. 120th Avenue, Westminster, Colorado 80234 USA (“Maxar”), and Customer, as identified in the applicable Order Confirmation. References to “Maxar" in the Agreement means the Maxar Affiliate listed on the applicable Order Confirmation.
By signing or otherwise indicating acceptance of an Order Confirmation referencing these Product Terms and Conditions or downloading, accessing or using any Maxar Product, Customer is accepting and agreeing to be bound by this Agreement. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity and, if added to an applicable Order Confirmation, its Affiliates, to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in which case “Customer” refers to such entity and its Affiliates. If you do not agree to the terms on the Order Confirmation or these Product Terms and Conditions, do not sign or otherwise accept an Order Confirmation and do not download, access or use any Maxar Product.
If Customer has an existing formal written agreement with Maxar governing the Products provided by Maxar in Customer’s Order Confirmation, the terms in that agreement will supersede any contrary terms in these Product Terms and Conditions. Further, to the extent that any license terms embedded in a product are not consistent with this Agreement, the terms in this Agreement will supersede any contrary terms in any embedded text.
1. DEFINITIONS. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit B.
2. ORDER PROCESSING.
2.1 ORDER CONFIRMATION. Customer's order for Products will be documented in an Order Confirmation. The Order Confirmation sets forth those Products that Maxar offers to license to Customer, the license type, the number of Authorized Users (if applicable) and the license fee as well as other information relating to Customer’s order. Customer accepts an Order Confirmation by signing or otherwise indicating acceptance of an Order Confirmation (such as an email accepting the terms of the Order Confirmation) or by downloading, accessing or using any Product set forth on the Order Confirmation. Unless otherwise set forth on the Order Confirmation, each unaccepted Order Confirmation expires thirty (30) calendar days following the date the Order Confirmation is created; however, Maxar, in its sole discretion, may extend the expiration date of any Order Confirmation. If Customer accepts an Order Confirmation following the expiration date, that Order Confirmation will be effective and form part of the Agreement unless Maxar notifies Customer within five (5) calendar days that the Order Confirmation is rejected. Following acceptance by Customer of an Order Confirmation, Customer may only make changes to an Order Confirmation as set forth in Article 5 below. All Order Confirmations are subject to final review and acceptance by Maxar. Maxar reserves the right to reject any Order Confirmation without penalty for any reason in its sole discretion.
2.2 REGULATORY APPROVAL. Customer understands that each Order Confirmation is subject to regulatory review after it is accepted by Customer. Accordingly, Maxar reserves the right to terminate any Order Confirmation upon notice via e-mail and without penalty if Maxar, in its sole discretion, determines that it is prohibited by law from fulfilling the order.
2.3 CONFLICTING TERMS. Customer waives, and Maxar rejects, any terms, including, without limitation, any additional or inconsistent terms that may be included on Customer’s purchase orders, vendor forms, supplier registration portal(s), or otherwise submitted or referenced by Customer and no such terms will apply to Maxar or any Products ordered. If any terms and conditions in an Order Confirmation are inconsistent with these Product Terms and Conditions, the terms and conditions in the Order Confirmation will govern.
3. PRODUCTS. Customer is responsible for determining which Products best meet its needs. Maxar reserves the right to discontinue developing, producing, licensing or distributing any Product and to modify, replace or add to the Product at its discretion at any time. Customer agrees that Order Confirmations are not contingent on the delivery of any future Product functionality or features or any statements by Maxar regarding any future functionality or features. All or part of the Products distributed under this Agreement may be provided by an Affiliate of Maxar.
3.1 END USER LICENSE TERMS. Products are licensed and not sold under this Agreement. With respect to each Product licensed by Customer, the license type is set forth in the applicable Order Confirmation.

That email will also include instructions on how to download the Product(s). Products made available to Customer via Electronic Delivery are deemed to be delivered when the notification email is sent by Maxar. Customer will have fourteen (14) days from the date of this notification to download the Products from the designated site, after which the Products will be removed from the site.
(i) Extension Requests. During the original 14-day availability window, Customer may request one (1) extension of the time Products are available on the designated site free of charge. If Customer needs additional time to download the Products following the expiration of this extension, Customer must make an “Exact Copy Request” as described in Section 4.2(b)(ii) below.
(ii) Exact Copy Request. If Customer fails to download the Products while they are available on the designated site, Customer may request that an exact copy of the Products be provided via Electronic Delivery, DVD or external hard drive. A processing fee will apply. Delivery of the exact copy is subject to standard delivery times as described in Section 4.1 above.
(iii) Errors. If Customer is unable to download the Products from the designated site due to an error by Maxar, Customer must notify Maxar during the initial 14-day period or extension and provide Maxar with a description of the error and the orders affected. If Maxar determines that the error was caused by Maxar, Maxar will, at its option, either repost the affected Products to the site or deliver the Products to Customer via DVD or external hard drive, each at no additional cost to Customer.
(c) Maxar Platforms. Subscription Services Products are made available to Customer and its Authorized Users online via a Maxar Platform. The Subscription Services Products are deemed to be delivered when Customer has been provided credentials to access the applicable Maxar Platform and Maxar sends an email notifying Customer that the Subscription Services Products are available on the Maxar Platform.
(i) Authorized Access. Authorized Users will access the Maxar Platform via the Internet by means of a specific account and passwords provided by Maxar. Customer is solely responsible for the confidentiality, security and use of its passwords and account. Maxar will have the right to rely upon any information received from any person using a password or other security measures assigned to Customer and will incur no liability for this reliance.
(ii) Restrictions on Use. Customer is responsible for Authorized Users’ access and use of the Maxar Platform and compliance with this Agreement. Customer will use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to and use of the Maxar Platform and will notify Maxar promptly of any unauthorized use of which it is aware.

Customer will use commercially reasonable efforts, including using a Virus detection/scanning program, in order to remove any Disabling Devices from its systems that may be transmitted to or otherwise present any harm to Maxar’s systems. If Customer determines that a Disabling Device has been transmitted to the systems or computers of Maxar, Customer will notify Maxar promptly of the transmission and the nature of the Virus or other device. Maxar may disable Customer’s access to the Maxar Platform and other Maxar computing systems and/or networks to protect Maxar’s computing systems and/or networks from a Disabling Device or if Customer breaches any of the security measures established by Maxar, including access or attempted access to the Maxar Platform by any unauthorized person. Maxar will notify Customer if it disables Customer’s access as soon as reasonably possible thereafter.
(iv) Changes. Maxar reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to add, revise and discontinue any Content and/or Tools in the Product and on the Maxar Platform and to make changes and modifications in specifications, construction and design of the Product and Maxar Platform.
(v) Anonymous Data. Maxar may collect and use Anonymous Information and disclose it internally and to its third party service providers, to support and improve Maxar’s operations, offerings, products, and services.

All Fees are payable in US Dollars. All past due amounts will accrue interest at the lower rate of: (a) 1.5% per month; or (b) the highest rate permissible under applicable law.
