OVERWATCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our Platform.

Our Platform includes our software-as-a-service offerings such as Overwatch. It also includes any applications we provide for you to access those offerings, and any Devices we lease to you.

In these Terms, defined terms have the meanings in clause 16 below.

application of terms

General: Your rights to access and use the Platform are determined by your Subscription. The details of your Subscription are set out in your Order Form.

Order Forms: Your Order Form makes an Agreement between you and us, incorporating these Terms.

Acceptance of Order Forms: You are deemed to have accepted an Order Form as soon as you submit an Order Form online to us, or sign and return a copy of the Order Form to us, or otherwise confirm your acceptance by email or any other written format. If you have not accepted an Order Form within 30 days of receiving it, the Order Form will not take effect until you have accepted it and we have confirmed to you in writing that the Order Form is still valid.

Varying Terms: We can amend these Terms from time to time by publishing an updated version of the Terms on our Website. For any existing Subscription, the amended Terms take effect 30 days’ after we give you written notice of the amendment. If you disagree with the amendment you can give us written notice to this effect within 14 days of receiving notice of this amendment and we will then, at our option, either:

  1. reverse the amendment; or
  2. confirm the amendment to the Terms remains in effect, in which case you may within 14 days of our confirmation, terminate your Subscription without cause on not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to us.

Any amendment to an Order Form must be agreed by the parties in writing.

Your Subscription to the Platform

Subscription: During the Subscription Term your Subscription provides you with the right to access and use the Subscribed Products specified in the Order Form in respect of those vessels stated in the Order Form.

Subscription Term: Your Subscription starts as soon as the Order Form takes effect (or such later start date set out in the Order Form). Your Subscription will continue until either party terminates the Subscription under clause 2.3, but will not be less than the minimum term set out in the Order Form (or if no minimum term is set out in the Order Form, then the minimum term will be 24 months) (the Minimum Term).

Termination of Subscription: Either party may terminate the Subscription without cause on not less than 30 days’ prior written notice ending at any time after the Minimum Term ends.

Changes to Subscription: For each Subscribed Product, if you exceed any usage limits under the Agreement (such as exceeding the number of vessels the Subscribed Products can be used for under your Subscription or if you exceed the number of User Licences provided under your Subscription) we may charge you additional fees. Unless stated otherwise in the Order Form, those additional fees will be based on our standard list prices at the relevant time.

Expiry or termination of Subscription: If the Agreement is terminated (including under clause 12), your Subscription will end immediately. In either case, when your Subscription ends, you must cease all use of the Subscribed Products (and return any Devices in accordance with clause 6.9). If and to the extent we allow you access to the Platform without a current Subscription, or after your Subscription has expired, you must comply with these Terms, but we have no obligations or liability to you in relation to that access or usage, and we can withdraw your access at any time without notice.

Your use of the Platform

Use of Platform: Unless stated otherwise in your Order Form, you must ensure your Users use the Platform solely in respect of the vessel(s) set out in the Order Form for your internal business purposes.

User Licences: You must ensure that the total number of active accounts for your Subscribed Products does not exceed 10 User Licences (or such greater number of User Licenses provided by your Subscription as stated in your Order Form). An account is ‘active’ if it can be used to log in to the Subscribed Product, whether or not it is actually used.

User accounts: You must ensure each User has their own account for the Subscribed Product, and that Users do not share accounts.

Unauthorised access: You must use reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorised access to, or use or disclosure of, the Platform. You must promptly notify us on becoming aware of any unauthorised access or use. You must, on request, provide us with reasonable assistance to investigate and remedy that unauthorised access, use or disclosure.

Restrictions on use: You must not (and must ensure your Users will not):

  1. use the Platform in violation of any Law;
  2. use the Platform to send or store infringing, obscene, threatening, or otherwise unlawful material;

Third Party Services: The Platform may provide you with the access to services or content being provided by one or more third parties (“Third Party Services”). We have no obligations or liability in relation to Third Party Services, and any warranties given under the Agreement do not apply to Third Party Services. You may be required to accept additional terms in order to access Third Party Services through the Platform. Once accepted, those additional terms will apply to the Third Party Services alongside the terms of the Agreement, and will prevail over the Agreement in relation to the relevant Third Party Services.

Fees and payment

Fees: You must pay the fees specified in the Order Form. Unless stated otherwise in the Order Form, all fees are quoted and payable in US Dollars.

Changing fees: We can change the fees for your Subscription on 60 days’ prior written notice to you. But you may exercise your right to terminate the Subscription without cause under clause 2.3. We will not increase our fees during the Minimum Term.

  1. the fees for your Subscription are payable in equal monthly instalments payable monthly in advance;

  3. amounts invoiced to you are due for payment 30 days after receipt of the invoice.

Method of payment: If agreed in the Order Form, we will charge you the fees automatically using the authorised form of payment set out in the Order Form (for example credit card payment or direct debit authority).

Default interest: If you fail to pay an amount due under the Agreement by the applicable due date, you must pay us interest on the overdue amount, at a rate of 1.5% per month (or, if lower, the maximum rate allowable under applicable law), calculated daily and compounding monthly, from the due date up to but excluding the date of payment.

Suspension: Except for amounts subject to a reasonable and good faith dispute, if a payment remains unpaid 30 days after receipt of the invoice and we have provided you with at least 30 days’ notice, we may suspend your access to the Platform, without any liability to you.
