c.         Authorized Users.  Customer shall have the right to authorize its employees and Third-Party Contractors to access and use the Web Services during the applicable Subscription Period, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.  Customer shall be solely responsible for deciding which of its employees and Third-Party Contractors will be permitted to access and use the Web Services. Customer shall not make any agreement with or warranty or representation to any Authorized User on behalf of GeoAg.  Any such unauthorized agreement, warranty or representation shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

d.         Sub-Users.

2)         Each Sub-User will be required to “click-through” these Terms and Conditions before the Sub-User (and its employees) will be permitted to access and use the Web Services.  If the Sub-User does not agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, the Sub-User (and its employees) will not be permitted to access and use the Web Services. 

3)         If the Sub-User agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, the Sub-User will be permitted to access and use the Web Services, subject to these Terms and Conditions, but only in connection with providing services to Customer, only during the Subscription Period, and subject to Customer’s right to withdraw its authorization at any time and for any reason.  The Sub-User will be permitted to authorize its employees (but not its Third-Party Contractors) to use a User Identity assigned to the Sub-User to access and use the Web Services, subject to these Terms and Conditions, but only in connection with providing services to Customer, only during the Subscription Period, and subject to Customer’s right to withdraw its authorization at any time and for any reason. 

e.         Limitations on Use of Web Services.  Customer and its Authorized Users shall use the Web Services only for Customer’s internal business use (or in the case of Sub-Users, in connection with providing services to Customer), except that Customer and its Authorized Users may use the CitriTrack™ Network Service and the Wireless Data Service installed on GEOMAX™ Equipment owned by Customer or its Authorized Users to access and use GeoAg Applications on behalf of another Customer who has subscribed to those GeoAg Applications.  This exception is intended to permit one Customer to provide services to another Customer (as a Sub-User of that other Customer) using its own GEOMAX™ Equipment.  To be clear, a Customer may use the CitriTrack™ Network Service and the Wireless Data Service in connection with the use of Web Services if Customer is 1) the subscribing Customer and/or 2) acting as a Sub-User of the subscribing Customer.

3.2        GEOMAX™ Equipment.

a.         Ownership of GEOMAX™ Equipment.  Upon receipt by GeoAg of payment in full for any unit of GEOMAX™ Equipment, title to such unit of Equipment shall pass to Customer.  The foregoing notwithstanding, Customer shall acquire no right, title or interest in the CitriTrack™ Network Services and/or the Wireless Data Service installed on any unit of Equipment except the right to use them as expressly granted in the Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement. 

b.         Manufacturer’s Warranty.  Each unit of Equipment is covered under a standard one-year manufacturer’s limited warranty (the “Manufacturer’s Warranty”).  In addition, Customer may purchase an extended manufacturer’s warranty at the time of purchase or for a limited time thereafter. For more information about the Manufacturer’s Warranty and instructions for obtaining warranty service, please contact a GeoAg representative.  Customer agrees and acknowledges that GeoAg has no responsibility to repair or replace defective or damaged GEOMAX™ Equipment.  If, however, Customer would like assistance obtaining warranty service, the Account Administrator may contact a GeoAg representative and GeoAg will provide such reasonable assistance as the Account Administrator may request at no additional charge to Customer.

c.         Damage Not Covered by Manufacturer’s Warranty.  If any unit of Equipment requires repair or replacement, and if Customer is not entitled to repair or replacement under the Manufacturer’s Warranty, then it shall be Customer’s responsibility to repair or replace such Equipment at its sole cost and expense. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Customer would like assistance obtaining maintenance and repair services from the manufacturer that are not covered by the Manufacturer’s Warranty, the Account Administrator may contact a GeoAg representative and GeoAg will provide such reasonable assistance as the Account Administrator may request at no additional charge to Customer.

3.3        Access Controls. 

a.         Appointment of Account Administrator.  Customer shall designate one of its employees (the “Account Administrator”) to act on behalf of Customer on all matters related to the Web Services.  The Account Administrator must have authority to enter into binding contracts on behalf of Customer with respect to Customer’s and its Authorized Users’ use of the Web Services.  The Account Administrator shall follow all protocols and instructions with respect to the administration, configuration, security and use of the Web Services as may from time to time be communicated by GeoAg to the Account Administrator.  Customer shall be responsible for ensuring that its Account Administrator complies with the Agreement.  The initial Account Administrator is identified on the first Order Form signed by Customer.  Customer shall provide five (5) days written notice to GeoAg if Customer wishes to replace the Account Administrator.

b.         Access Level Groups.  Customer, acting through its Account Administrator, may assign different Authorized Users to different access level groups.  Whenever Customer wishes to set up a new access level, the Account Administrator shall provide GeoAg with a written description of the new access level and shall identify any members of the new access level group who are Third-Party Contractors or employees of Third-Party Contractors.  GeoAg shall set up the access level in accordance with the Account Administrator’s instructions and shall provide a unique User Identity for the members of each new access level group.  Each such User Identity shall be associated in GeoAg’s records with Customer’s name and a particular level of access.  GeoAg shall have no control over or responsibility for assigning Authorized Users to access level groups.

c.         Password Security.  Customer agrees that it is solely responsible for ensuring that 1) its Authorized Users do not share their User Identities with other individuals, including other Authorized Users, except that the Account Administrator may provide the appropriate User Identity to each member of an access level group, and 2) its Authorized Users understand the need and take appropriate measures to keep all User Identities secret and confidential.  GeoAg shall have the right to assume that any individual accessing or using the Web Services under a given User Identity is the individual associated with such User Identity in its records and will grant access to Account Information and other capabilities accordingly.  If an individual uses or permits the use of the Web Services under a User Identity not actually assigned to that particular individual, Customer shall be deemed to be in material breach of the Agreement.

d.         Harmful Conduct.  Customer shall not, and shall not permit its Authorized Users or any other individual or entity to engage in conduct intended to or likely to damage the Web Services, for example, by 1) accessing, tampering with, or using areas of the Web Services that exceed the scope of the Authorized User’s authorization; 2) attempting to gather and use information available from the Web Services to transmit any unsolicited advertising; and 3) the knowing transmission of any viruses, worms, other malicious code or computer programming routines that may be introduced to the Web Services as a result of access thereto by Customer or its Authorized Users.

e.         Responsibility for Activities of Individuals Accessing the Web Services.  Customer is entirely responsible for the activities of anyone using a User Identity associated with Customer’s name in GeoAg’s records (including all User Identities assigned to Customer’s Sub-Users), whether or not the activities or the use of the User Identity were authorized by Customer.  Customer shall notify GeoAg immediately of any known or suspected unauthorized use of a User Identity registered to Customer or any other breach of security.  Customer is responsible for changing or requiring its Authorized Users to change any password that may have been compromised using the functionality available through the Web Services.  At Customer’s request, GeoAg shall deactivate any or all User Identities associated with Customer’s name in GeoAg’s records; provided, however, that GeoAg shall have a commercially reasonable period of time to do so.

f.          Security Risks.  Customer acknowledges that the Internet is not an inherently secure means of data communication and that data processing entails the likelihood of some human and machine errors, omissions, delays, and losses, including inadvertent loss or corruption of data, which may give rise to loss or damage.  Customer accepts responsibility for adopting reasonable measures to limit its exposure with respect to such potential losses and damages, including, without limitation, preparation and storage of backup data.

g.         Right to Deny Access.  For the protection of Customer and its Authorized Users, GeoAg reserves the right 1) to deactivate any User Identity; 2) to require Authorized User(s) to change User Identities; or 3) to deny, limit or terminate access to the Web Services or any portion thereof, at any time, as necessary or advisable to protect the security and integrity of the Web Services.  Whenever GeoAg is able to do so without compromising the security or integrity of the Web Services, GeoAg will give Customer reasonable notice before taking such action. If GeoAg determines, in its reasonable business judgment, that it is advisable to take immediate action, without prior notice to Customer, GeoAg shall notify Customer as soon as reasonably practicable of its action and, if it can do so without compromising the security of the Web Services or any investigation, the reason for the action.

3.4        Additional Services.

a.         Additional Services.  From time to time, Customer may request that GeoAg perform services other than or in addition to the Standard Support Services (“Additional Services”).  Additional Services may include, for example, consulting services, designing and developing a customized version of a standard Web Service, or developing a new Web Service to meet Customer’s specific needs.  Customer may request Additional Services in connection with Customer’s use of the Web Services or prior to or independently of Customer’s use of the Web Services.

b.         Statement of Work. Upon receipt of Customer’s request for Additional Services, GeoAg shall, within a reasonable time, submit a proposal to Customer.  Customer and GeoAg shall discuss the proposal, which may be modified by mutual agreement.  If Customer and GeoAg reach agreement on the proposal, then Customer and GeoAg shall execute a statement of work based on or incorporating the final proposal (each a “Statement of Work”).  The Statement of Work shall, upon execution by both of the Parties, become a part of the Agreement.  GeoAg shall have no obligation to provide Additional Services except as set forth in a duly executed Statement of Work.  Each Statement of Work shall include the following information, if applicable:
