Documentation

In addition to the requirements above, you must adhere to all policies posted on this site in conjunction with the Services, including all accompanying documentation. All such policies are incorporated by reference into these Terms.

Your Content

Your content is your content. You retain ownership of all content that you contribute to the Services.

Limited to the purpose of hosting your content so that we can provide the Services to you, you hereby grant Sinergise a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable right and license (with the right to sublicense), to use, copy, cache, publish, display, distribute, modify, create derivative works, and store such content and to allow others to do so. This right and license enables Sinergise to host and mirror your content on its distributed platform. You warrant, represent, and agree that you have the right to grant Sinergise these rights.

On termination of your account, Sinergise will make all reasonable efforts to promptly remove from the site and cease use of your content; however, you recognize and agree that caching of or references to the content may not be immediately removed.

Our Content and Third-Party Content

Other than your content, all content displayed on the site or accessible through the Services, including text, graphics, maps, logos, images, illustrations, software or source code, audio and video, and animations, are the property of Sinergise and/or third parties and are protected by Slovenian and international copyright laws. You may be held liable for any unauthorized copying or disclosure of this content. You agree that Sinergise’s licensors shall be third party beneficiaries to these Terms and that these companies may directly enforce, and may rely upon, any provision of the Terms that confers a benefit on them or grants rights in favor of them.

All logos and product names appearing on or in connection with the Services are proprietary to Sinergise or its licensors and/or suppliers. You may not remove any proprietary notices or product identification labels from the Services’ software, maps, or other content.

Publicity

We're proud to have you as a customer. During the term of this agreement, you hereby grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable license to use your trademarks, service marks, and logos for the purpose of identifying you as a Sinergise customer to promote and market Sinergise services. Of course, if you prefer we not use your logo or name in a particular way, just let us know, and we will respect that.

Charges and Payment

Some of the Services require payment. We may charge your credit card on an ongoing basis in advance of providing Services or as needed for prepayments for your subscription fee, any applicable sales taxes, and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of Sentinel Hub Services. The subscription fee is billed in full on the first day of each billing period, unless and until you cancel your subscription.

Sometimes even you don't know how popular your applications are going to be. If your account exceeds the number of requests allowed by your plan, we may charge you overage fees at the end of your billing period. Overage rates vary by plan. You agree to pay overage fees for all usage including requests that result from unexpected traffic. We will notify you, when your account reaches 90% of the allowed volume within a billing period. If we fail to do so, we will not charge overage fee for a specific billing period.

We are not responsible for any bank fees, interest charges, finance charges, over draft charges, or other fees resulting from charges billed by Sinergise. Currency exchange settlements will be based on agreements between you and the provider of your credit card.

All charges are non-refundable unless expressly stated otherwise, or otherwise provided by applicable law.

Request

Some subscription plans include request volume limit or concurrent request limit.

A request stands for a tile of 512*512 px, which is a recommended option for integration in web application due to best performance/size ratio. If you use larger size of requests, the charged number will be increased by a proportional factor, e.g. to reflect same number of pixels. Similarly, if you use smaller size of requests, the charged number will be reduced proportionally.

In case of multi-temporal processing, number of charged requests will consist of number of scenes processed within a multi-temporal request.

Account Cancellation or Suspension

We don't want you to leave, but you may cancel at any time. However, we do not give pro-rated refunds for unused time if you cancel during the middle of a billing cycle.

The limited license granted by this agreement terminates automatically, without notice to you, if you breach any of these Terms.

In addition, Sinergise may cancel or suspend your account for any reason by providing you thirty days advance notice. Upon cancellation or suspension, your right to use the Services will stop immediately. You may not have access to data that you stored on the site after we cancel or suspend your account. You are responsible for backing up data that you use with the Services. If we cancel your account in its entirety without cause, we will refund to you on a pro-rata basis the amount of your payment corresponding to the portion of your service remaining right before we cancelled your account.

Changes to Services or Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time by posting the changed terms on the site. All changes shall be effective immediately upon posting. Please check these Terms periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Services after we post of changes constitutes your binding acceptance of the new terms.

We may change the features and functions of the Services, including APIs, and the terms of the SLA may change over time. It is your responsibility to ensure that calls or requests you makes to the Services are compatible with then-current Sentinel Hub APIs. We will endeavor to avoid changes to our APIs that are not backwards compatible, if any such changes become necessary, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you prior to implementation.

Service Level Agreement

Sentinel Hub services will be available 99% of the time every month. If Sentinel Hub does not meet this guarantee, you will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below.

Defining Unavailability

A Sentinel Hub API will be considered fully or partially unavailable when API is inaccessible from any location (in which case availability for the API for the relevant time period will be calculated as the fraction of your API requests that are failing worldwide).

Uptime in a month will be calculated across APIs based on the uptime of each individual API you use during the month, weighted by the fraction of all your Sentinel Hub API requests accounted for by each API during that month. For purposes of this guarantee, a "month" means a calendar month.

Service Credits

Service credits are calculated as a percentage of the total charges you owe us for Sentinel Hub services each month, or your annual fee divided by 12, as follows:

To receive a credit, you must contact Sinergise within 30 days following the end of the unavailability via email at info@sentinel-hub.com and include the dates and times of unavailability. If we confirm that the uptime percentage in a month covered by your request is below 99%, we will issue you the service credit. Service credit is added to the end of your term for the service, and cannot be exchanged for, or converted to, monetary compensation. The maximum service credit that we will issue for downtime in a month is 25% of the fees you otherwise owe us for that month.

This Service Level Agreement is your sole and exclusive remedy (and our sole liability) for unavailability of our services.

Limitations

A period of unavailability is excluded from the service level guarantee, and will not count towards unavailability calculations for purposes of service credits, if:

• the unavailability is due to scheduled maintenance, provided we notify you at least 5 days in advance;
• the unavailability is due to Data providers failing to provide the data;
• you are in breach of your services agreement with us (including your payment obligations to us), or the unavailability is otherwise due to your actions;
• the unavailability is caused by factors outside of our reasonable control, including a force majeure event; internet access problems; blocking, filtering, or censorship of our services by a government or other third party; or other problems beyond our services.
