The software is provided by MobileReport Ltd of 10 Heron Road, No. 3 Suite A, Belfast, BT3 9LE, Northern Ireland, company registration number NI607089 trading as ‘GoReport’ (“we, us, our”).
The terms in this document (“Terms”) set out how you may use the GoReport® Software and the basis upon which we will provide you with our Services.
1.1. By signing the Proposal Summary you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms, which together with the Proposal Summary form a legally binding agreement between you and us (“Agreement”).
1.2. If you instruct us to commence providing you with the services set out in a Proposal Summary before you have signed it, you will be deemed to have signed it when you instruct us to proceed.
“you” means the party which signed the Proposal Summary (and “your” shall be construed accordingly).
2.2. In these Terms References to clauses (unless otherwise provided) are references of the clauses of this Agreement. Words in the singular include the plural and in the plural include the singular. A reference to a particular law is a reference to it as it is in force for the time being, taking account of any amendment, extension, application or re-enactment and includes any subordinate legislation for the time being in force made under it. References to “including” and “include(s)” shall be deemed to mean respectively, “including without limitation” and “include(s) without limitation”.
2.3. If there is any inconsistency between these Terms and the Proposal Summary, the Proposal Summary shall prevail.
3.1. This Agreement shall commence on the Agreement Date and shall continue until the Commencement Date and thereafter for the Initial Period and each Subsequent Period entered into in accordance with clause 3.2 below, unless otherwise terminated in accordance with clause 3.2 or clause 16 below.
3.2. At the expiry of the Initial Period, the Agreement shall (subject to clause 3.3 below) automatically renew for a period of 1 year and shall continue thereafter to renew annually for further periods of 1 year on the same terms as set out herein. (Each such 12 month period, a “Subsequent Period”). Either party may terminate this Agreement on the expiry of the Initial Period or any Subsequent Period, by giving the other written notice of no less than 60 days.
3.3. The Subsequent Period shall not apply if it has been agreed that the User Licence is being granted specifically for the purposes of a Project.
4.1. In consideration of payment by you of the Licence Fee, we hereby grant to you a non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable, non-sub licensable (save as set out in clause 4.4 below) licence to use the GoReport® Software from the Commencement Date and thereafter for the duration of the Term, within the Territory, solely for the purpose of capturing, processing and reproducing surveying data for your own internal business purposes (“User Licence”). Any such User Licence shall be subject always to the provisions of this Agreement.
4.2.2. any such User Licence shall only last for the duration of the Initial Period, whether or not the Project has been completed (unless you enter into a new agreement with us in respect of a further User Licence).
4.3. In some circumstances we may not be able to commence your User Licence on the date set out in the Proposal Summary (or otherwise agreed between you and us). This might be because we are waiting for your Computer Equipment to be delivered, owing to a failure by you to comply with your obligations pursuant to clause 10 herein, or for other reasons outside our control. As such, you acknowledge and agree that any date we may give you for the commencement of your User Licence is an estimate only, and that time is not of the essence for the purposes of the Commencement Date. We will do what we can to try to make sure everything runs smoothly and we will notify you as soon as possible if we expect delays, but we can’t and don’t accept any liability for any losses or damages you might suffer if the Commencement Date is later than we estimated, nor shall any such delay be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by us.
4.4.3. you shall be liable for the acts and/or omissions of any Permitted Users which, if carried out by you would amount to a breach of this Agreement.
5.1.7. publish or disclose results of any benchmark or other test run on the GoReport® Software.
