that these licence terms for supply of Autovista reports govern the ordering
and use of digital automotive intelligence report(s) (“Report”) offered by
Autovista Group (“Autovista”).
1.2
Customer may submit orders to Autovista via its online store or any such other
method specified by Autovista from time to time. Customer shall specify a
single named user of the Report in the order (“Authorised User”), whose use of
the Report shall be in accordance with clause 4. Autovista may accept an
order by delivering Report. Accepted orders will be deemed to incorporate and
be subject to this Licence Agreement (the ‘Agreement’). All other terms and
conditions contained in any Customer purchase order or other document not
expressly referenced in this Agreement will have no effect.
2. INVOICING AND
PAYMENT
The
fee shall be in the currency stated on the order and is payable in advance by

orders at the applicable rate based on the customer's location and on the
assumption that the customer is a consumer for VAT purposes.
3. REPORT ACCESS
Autovista
will make available the Report to the Authorised User in an online digital
format. Autovista reserves the right, a) to vary the available Report format in
any way; and b) to suspend the availability of the online digital format
temporarily in the event of technical difficulties or other circumstances
beyond the reasonable control of Autovista. In the event of any such variation
or suspension of the Report, Autovista will use all reasonable endeavours to resume
availability as soon as practicable but shall not be liable for any loss,
damage or claim caused by such variation or suspension.
4. INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS AND LICENCE
4.1
All intellectual property rights in the Report and any other items supplied
pursuant to the Agreement will remain the property of Autovista or its

Agreement, Autovista grants to Customer a non-exclusive non-transferable
personal user licence for the single Authorised User to view Report online
provided that Customer keeps intact all and any copyright and proprietary
notices. Customer is prohibited from (i) offering the content for resale; (ii)
copying, scanning, photocopying, faxing, or in any other way reproducing or
copying the content; (iii) sharing the content other than with the named
Authorised User; (iv) distributing the content whether by electronic mail, over
any network or otherwise; (v) uploading the content to any database or server;
or (vi) displaying the content on any website or intranet.
4.2
Authorised User may take one or more “Limited Extracts” (see below) from the
Report for the sole purpose of reproducing them in original “New Material” (see

day-to-day business and may not pass materials to clients and/or prospects
unless done so as part of a presentation or similar, where Autovista is
referenced as owner of all copyrights and intellectual property, and that
passing Limited Extracts to third parties is carried out on an ad-hoc
non-systematic basis. Such extracts must comply with the following conditions
in order to qualify as Limited Extracts for use in accordance with this
clause: the maximum amount which can be extracted from the digital content
is 10% of that document; Limited Extracts may not, in aggregate, represent more
than 10% of a report, document or other material created by a single Authorised
User which incorporates those Limited Extracts (“New Material”); the New
Material must consist substantially of original material created by the
Authorised User(s) and accordingly must not contain substantial amounts of
material aggregated from third parties; and the Limited Extract(s) reproduced
in the New Material, and any conclusions drawn by the Authorised User which
appear in the New Material and which are based on or refer to such extracts,
are accurate, fair and reasonable; all New Materials shall attribute the

of the obligations to be performed by it hereunder, but will retain

explosion, war or the engagement of hostilities, strike, embargo, labor
dispute, government requirement, civil disturbances, civil or military
authority, and inability to secure materials or transportation facilities. The

not be deemed to constitute a waiver by that party of its right thereafter to
enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its
terms. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties with
respect to the subject matter thereof and will supersede all previous and
contemporaneous communications, representations or understandings, either oral
or written, between the parties relating to that subject matter and will not be
