End User License Agreement

IMPORTANT – READ CAREFULLY: This License Agreement is a legal agreement between you (either an individual, a public entity, or a private company) and EMISIA S.A. for all EMISIA products which covers your use of our software product(s) that accompany this EULA and related software components, which may include associated media, printed materials, and “online” or electronic documentation. All such software and materials are referred to herein as the “Software Product”, or the “Product”, or the “Software”.

You confirm that you accept and agree to be legally bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement by downloading and/or installing and/or using the “Product”. If you do not accept these terms, do not download, install or use the “Product”.

If you are representing a business and/or entity, you acknowledge that you have the legal authority to bind the business and/or entity you are representing to all the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT. If you disagree with the terms of this agreement, then you are not entitled in installing, copying, or using EMISIA product(s). No refund is available in such a case.

When we use the phrase “the Product” or “the Software” in this EULA, we mean all the things that together come from or are created by using the computer program or data. Specifically, the software code and related screens, logical operation and organization of the program and data, the Help and Tutorial illustrations and textual content, multimedia on screen or printed examples and printed manuals, screen layouts and designs, unique nomenclature, etc.

When we use the term “the Data”  we mean any piece of information that is revealed by, reported by, extracted or exported from, learned or discerned from, the operation of the Software, whether text, in a database format, vector and “boundary” data and other thematic output, and any other conveyance of fact that is contained within. The data that is associated with, and may be contained within the Product comes from a variety of sources public and private, and EMISIA spends considerable effort selecting, testing, enhancing, enriching, processing and preparing the data for use. Some Data, in whole or part, can be separately licensed to you, as an independent Product, according to the Terms of this Agreement as will be set out below.

The Data, either as part of the Software or as an independent Product, is not public domain. It is the result of extensive and creative selection, correction, enrichment, verification, and other creative and analytical forms of enhancement by many professionals associated with EMISIA and contains proprietary elements.

When you extract data from any EMISIA product, you do not own it, and it is not your property nor is it public domain. It remains the copyrighted property of EMISIA S.A. and you have a license to use it only as per the terms and conditions of this EULA. The Data (see above) you modify, print, reproduce, or export, are copyrighted by EMISIA S.A.

Any reports, graphs or other visual elements are not clip art, and they are not in the public domain, and they are not your property.

The EMISIA Software product and any Data or other output may only be used pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Some EMISIA products (Copert Street Level, Sibyl) are licensed on an annual subscription basis, not sold.. Other EMISIA Products such as Copert and Copert Australia are licensed, not sold and general license terms are applicable.

You acknowledge that the Product is of such a complexity that there may be inherent defects and that therefore we can give no warranty that the Product is free from error or defect or that operation shall be uninterrupted.

Our Product has been developed as a standard product for use by a wide variety of users and so we are unable to warrant that it will meet any particular user needs.

We provide support to users of our Product via our web site, by email and by phone. The support is provided subject to the terms of this Agreement.

No waiver of any right under this Agreement is effective unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the party to be bound.

No waiver of any past or present right arising from any breach or failure to perform will be deemed to be a waiver of any future right arising under this Agreement.

If any section of this Agreement is unenforceable, that section will be construed, limited, modified or, if necessary, severed to the extent necessary to eliminate its unenforceability and the other sections of this Agreement will remain in full force.
