grants to Customer the non-exclusive and non-transferable right to access and
use the Web Services during the applicable Subscription Period, subject to and

c. Authorized
Users. Customer shall have the right
to authorize its employees and Third-Party Contractors to access and use the

employees of Customer. GeoAg will
provide one or more separate User Identities to each Sub-User for use by that
Sub-User and its employees.
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)

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

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)

applicable international, federal, state or local law, rule, regulation or
ordinance.

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

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

reasonable assistance as the Account Administrator may request at no additional
charge to Customer.

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.

available to GeoAg at the time the Statement of Work was executed and the
assumptions stated in the Statement of Work.
GeoAg shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the

timetable. GeoAg shall promptly notify
Customer of any new information, changed assumptions or other circumstances

Order revising the description of the Additional Services and/or the estimated
cost of the Additional Services and/or the proposed timetable in a manner that
is acceptable to both Parties. If
