WEBSITE TERMS OF USE

WELCOME

Welcome to www.chesapeaketech.com. In these Terms and Conditions of Use (the “Terms”), “user,” “you” and “your” refer to any person accessing our site or any service or software related to our site (the “Services” and “Software”).

“Chesapeake Technology,” “CTI,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Chesapeake Technology, Inc., a California corporation, and may also include our affiliates (such as our licensors, licensees, and business partners) and our officers, directors, employees, consultants, shareholders, agents, and representatives.

TERMS

By accessing our site, Services, or Software, or by registering with us (to, for example, download a free trial of our Software), you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you are prohibited from using or accessing the site, Services, or Software and will not be able to register.

FEATURES OF OUR SITE

CTI provides various services, information, and products related to sonar mapping and data management. Our site provides users a place to access webinars, tutorials, information about our products and services, free Software trials for evaluation purposes, and other content and resources, and to exchange information.

We may change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of our site, Services, or Software at any time, including the availability of any particular feature or content. We may also impose limits on certain features or restrict access without notice or liability.

In addition, when using a particular feature of the site, Services, or Software, you may be subject to additional applicable terms (such as our End User License Agreement for our Software). All such additional terms are incorporated by reference into these Terms. We may have other offerings from time to time that are governed by different terms of use.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance CTI’s current Services, site, or Software shall be subject to this Agreement.

THIS SITE’S CONTENT IS STRICTLY FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES

We make available through our site a variety of information regarding sonar mapping and data management. Any information provided by any party other than CTI reflects that party’s own views, and not those of CTI. The information CTI provides through our site is not intended to be definitive advice to you, or to apply to all situations, or to serve as a substitute for your taking into account all factors about your particular project and its site conditions.

Similarly, for example, the presence of particular content posted on the site by a third party does not indicate our approval or endorsement of such content. We encourage you to become familiar with such third party content. Your use of our site, Services, or Software, and information or content related to them or materials linked to the site, is entirely at your own risk and they are subject to the “Disclaimer” immediately below.

This site contains links to other web sites, such as social media sites and sites of our advertisers and strategic partners. While we encourage your appropriate interaction with linked sites, we do not review their content or management, and we are not responsible for them.

We reserve the right to terminate your distribution of any such material and, if applicable, delete any such material from our servers.

RIGHT TO INVESTIGATE VIOLATIONS

To ensure that we provide a quality experience for you and for other users, you agree that CTI may access your account and records to investigate an alleged violation of these Terms or other unauthorized purposes.

CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

If we decide to make a material change to these Terms, we will post a notice of those changes on our site prior to implementing that change. By using this site, Services, or Software, you are agreeing to be bound by the then-current version of these Terms. We do not, however, make any commitment to update these Terms.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

IN NO EVENT WILL CTI BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSSES FROM BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR FROM LOST PROFITS OR DATA, LOST SAVINGS ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THIS SITE, SERVICES, OR SOFTWARE, EVEN IF SPECIFICALLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY OTHER CLAIMS BY ANY OTHER PARTY. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF CTI FOR DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO CTI FOR THE SERVICES OR SOFTWARE CAUSING THE CLAIM, IF THE LIABILITY RESULTS THEREFROM.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights; you may have others which may vary from state to state, region or country. Some states, regions or countries do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, or the limitation of how long an implied warranty lasts, so some of the above may not apply to you.

INDEMNITY

You agree to indemnify CTI for any third party claims, losses, liability, damages, and costs (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from your violation of these Terms.

SEVERABILITY – WAVER

If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any part of these Terms to be unenforceable for any reason, all other provisions will remain unaffected and CTI and you agree to replace any invalid provision with a valid provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision. No waiver of any breach of these Terms shall constitute a waiver of any other breach of the same or any other provisions, and no waiver is effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.

YOUR PRIVACY

We respect your privacy and permit you to control the treatment of your personal information. Our current Website Privacy Policy can be found at www.chesapeaketech.com/privacy. Our Website Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms.

We may require you to register before you use or access the site, Services, or Software by providing us complete and accurate information requested on the registration form. You may also be asked to provide a user name and password. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password. You may not use the account, username, or password of someone else at any time. You agree to notify us immediately on any unauthorized use of your account, user name, or password. We shall not be liable for any loss that you incur as a result of someone else using your password, either with or without your knowledge. You may be held liable for any losses incurred by us.

COPYRIGHT PROTECTION

We respect others’ intellectual property rights, and we insist our users do the same. If you believe that posted content or Submissions infringe your rights under copyright law in specific materials (collectively, a “Work”), please follow the procedure described below to notify us of your concerns or objections.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) gives recourse to copyright owners who believe material on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you have a good faith belief that content or material on the site infringes your copyright, you or your agent may send us a notice requesting that such material be removed or that or access to it be blocked (the “Notice”). The Notice must contain the following information: (i) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner; (ii) a description of the copyrighted Work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed; (iii) a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the site; (iv) your address, telephone number, and email address; (v) a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (vi) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your Notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.

If you believe in good faith that a Notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed by us against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. See www.loc.gov/copyright for details. You may wish to consult your legal adviser before filing a Notice or counter-notice. Please note there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

Any Notice or counter-notices must be sent to us at:
