Terms of Service

Thank you for registering to use Panedia's services. We want you to derive as much value as possible from the use of our content & systems, and seek not to arbitrarily limit your usage. At the same time we must make a viable business, so in this licensing agreement we seek to balance both of our needs.


1)
By creating a map and/or registering to use our Embedded Content System (the "SERVICE"), you ("YOU") accept and agree to be bound by the Panedia Embedded Content Terms of Service ("TOS"). If you don't agree with and/or can't abide by the TOS please delete your account (If Applicable), stop using the SERVICE & remove it from your webiste(s) immediately.

2) The SERVICE when used commercially must be paid for via:

a) Automatic Monthly subscription by Credit Card
    or
b) Yearly by invoice.

Monthly fees are not refundable, though YOU may elect to stop paying for & using the service at any time. YOU must cancel your account or contact Panedia to stop automatic monthly payments. Removing the SERVICE from your website will not stop automated payments as we won't know that has been done. Yearly fees are not refundable except in the event that Panedia can no longer provide the SERVICE in which case you will be provided a pro-rata refund on the unused full months of the yearly payment.

3) You understand and agree that although we will use reasonable efforts to ensure the SERVICE is always available, temporary interruptions may occur. The SERVICE is provided "AS IS" and Panedia is not liable to you for any temporary interruption.

4) By paying fees to Panedia for use of the SERVICE you are given the right to create & use map(s) containing Panoramic Virtual tours as selected by YOU or auto selected by our systems. You may use the map(s) anywhere on your website. Furthermore you may use the map(s) on more than one website where YOU have multiple versions of the main website ie multiple languages or multiple URL's eg .com, .net, .biz or market specific versions of the main website.

5) You may not use your map(s) on websites other than those owned by YOU or your company. You may not lend, sub-license, sell, lease or give away maps created using the SERVICE to any other party. Except where specifically provided for in writing by Panedia.

9) You may change the panoramas shown on your embedded maps at any time by logging into your account and using the tools provided. Changes you make are instantly updated to your embedded maps.

10) FREE accounts may at some time in the future contain advertising on the maps. You will be given 30 days notice if this is to occur. To avoid advertising you would need to upgrade to a 'commercial account'. Commercial accounts will never contain unsolicited 3rd party advertising.

16) Google's Mapping Service Terms.

You understand that the SERVICE is built on top of the Google Maps API, therefore by using the SERVICE you are also agreeing to accept the Google Maps API Terms of Service. (http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html) Much of the Google Maps API Terms of Service is not applicable to YOU as you are not using Google's system directly. Here are a few pertinent items from the Google Maps API terms of service.

By way of example, and not as a limitation, You agree that when using the Service, You will not:

* use Google services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose;
* remove any copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights notices contained in or on Google services;
* interfere with or disrupt Google services or servers or networks connected to Google services, or disobey any requirements, procedures, policies or regulations of networks connected to Google services;
* promote or provide instructional information about illegal activities or promote physical harm or injury against any group or individual; or transmit any viruses, worms, defects, Trojan horses, or any items of a destructive nature.

Panedia provides no guarantees on the Google mapping service. We do not own or have control over the service. Panedia is not charging you for use of Google Maps. Google Maps is a free service which can be accessed & used by anybody. Google's mapping service is provided "AS IS" and Panedia is not liable to you for any temporary interruption. We reserve the right to terminate your service or delete your information if Google ask us to do so.
