1.  SERVICES.  DigitalGlobe Solutions Inc. (“DigitalGlobe”) offers SeaStar Sport Web Service to subscribers (each, a “Subscriber”) on a nonexclusive basis to provide an oceanographic satellite data information service (the “Service” or “SeaStar Sport Web Service”).  Subscriber desires to use the Services.  These terms and conditions if accepted by Subscriber identifies the Services to be purchased by Subscriber and sets forth the terms and conditions upon which DigitalGlobe will provide the Services and Subscriber will use the Services it purchases.

(b)    DigitalGlobe’s fees for Services do not include any taxes, charges, levies, duties, withholding, usage, or other fees which may be asserted against a party by any local, state, or national governmental authority with respect to or arising out of these Terms and Conditions (collectively, “Taxes”).  Except for U.S. federal income and U.S. state income (or equivalent) taxes imposed on DigitalGlobe with respect to its income from these Terms and Conditions, Subscriber will be responsible for all Taxes.  Where required or if DigitalGlobe determines appropriate, DigitalGlobe may invoice Subscriber for Taxes DigitalGlobe believes are due in connection with the Services and, provided DigitalGlobe remits such amounts to the applicable authority, DigitalGlobe shall have no liability for such Taxes.  The foregoing sentence imposes no obligation on DigitalGlobe to make any filing or take any action that is the responsibility of Subscriber under applicable law.

(c)    All of Subscriber’s payments under these Terms and Conditions will be made free and clear of any applicable withholding, income, or any other Taxes or charges whatsoever.  To the extent Subscriber is required to withhold Taxes or other charges from such payment, the amount of such payment will be increased so that the net amount paid equals the amount that would otherwise be payable had such Taxes or charges not been required to be withheld.  Subscriber will provide to DigitalGlobe copies of such documentation as is necessary to establish the amount of Taxes or other charges withheld in connection with such payment and the corresponding adjustment made by Subscriber

6.  TERMINATION.  Your right to use the Service and DigitalGlobe Data and DigitalGlobe’s obligation to provide the Services and DigitalGlobe Data will automatically terminate if you fail to comply with any provision of this Agreement.  If DigitalGlobe terminates your Service for failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement, you will NOT be entitled to any refund of any fees paid for the Services, including, without limitation, any fees paid for the unused term of your subscribed term.   All provisions relating to proprietary rights and transfer prohibitions shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
