General Terms & Conditions
1. Introduction
1.1. These General Terms and Conditions (these "General Terms") apply to all Services provided by Us, including where the Services are provided on a free of charge trial basis. The "Agreement" between You and Us comprises the Order Form(s), these General Terms, the Jurisdiction Specific Terms, the Product & Feature Specific Terms, and the Policies and, in the event of any conflict, shall apply in that order. The Jurisdiction Specific Terms, Product & Feature Specific Terms and the Policies are located at (www.land.tech/legal) and, along with these General Terms, are incorporated into each Order Form by reference. Where there is no Order Form (for example where You are using the Services on a free-of-charge basis), Your use of the Services constitutes Your acceptance of this Agreement.
1.2. The Services are intended for business use and not personal use. Accordingly, You confirm that You are entering into the Agreement in a business capacity and not as a consumer. If You are not using the Services for business purposes then You must not use the Services.
1.3. You must purchase sufficient Licences to cover Your Users and You may not allow any Licences to be shared between multiple Users or individuals. Each of Your Users must have their own licence to be able to use the Services and You and Your Users must ensure that you abide by any geographic or other restrictions applicable to the Licenses you have purchased.
1.4 Capitalised terms not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings given in the "Definitions" section at the end of these General Terms.
2. Term, Fees and Termination
2.1. Provision of the Services shall commence on the date stated on the Order Form (unless otherwise agreed by the parties) and shall continue for the Initial Term unless terminated in accordance with these General Terms.
2.2. Each Order Form shall automatically renew for consecutive periods of 12 months (each a "Renewal Term") unless terminated by either Party serving notice at least 30 days prior to the end of the Initial Term or the then current Renewal Term. The Fees for each Renewal Term shall automatically increase by 5% (five per-cent) from the immediately preceding period. If You do not wish to accept the revised Fees then You must give notice under this clause to prevent automatic renewal occurring. If You do not give such notice within the required time period then the Agreement will renew for a Renewal Term at the revised Fees.
2.3. Unless agreed otherwise, all Fees are payable annually in advance and within 14 days of receipt of invoice. Fees are based on Services purchased and specified on an Order Form and additional Fees will be due for any additional Services purchased. The Services and/or number of Licences (including any additional Licences purchased during the Term) may not be reduced or cancelled during the Term unless a specific termination right is set out in the Agreement.
2.4. Unless the Order Form states to the contrary, the Initial Term, Renewal Term, notice period and billing frequency are as set out in the Product & Feature Specific Terms. All Fees are exclusive of VAT or any other sales or other tax (which shall be payable in addition).
2.5. If any Fees properly owing to Us remain unpaid 7 days after the due date then, without limiting any other rights or remedies, we may suspend the provision of the Services until all overdue amounts are paid in full. You shall reimburse Us for any out-of-pocket costs We incur in obtaining payment from You including reasonable legal fees and associated costs. We will only reactivate Your access to the Services once all outstanding Fees and costs have been paid in full, including any Fees relating to the period of suspension.
2.6. In addition to the provisions in clause 2.5, we may immediately suspend Your access to the Services if: (i) you breach our Acceptable Use Policy; or (ii) we determine in good faith that such suspension is necessary to avoid possible harm to Our, Your, or any third party’s systems or information. We will notify You of any such suspension and reason therefor as soon as commercially practicable, and will cooperate diligently to restore service as soon as commercially practicable once the underlying issue is resolved.
2.7. You must ensure that We have accurate and complete contact, billing and payment information at all times. If the Order Form indicates that You will pay by credit card, You authorise Us to charge Your credit card or bank account for all fees payable during the Term (including for any Renewal Term, as applicable), You further authorise Us to use a third party to process payments and consent to the disclosure of Your payment information to such third party.
2.8. Without affecting any other right or remedy available, either Party may terminate the Agreement with immediate effect by written notice to the other Party if the other Party: (i) commits a material breach of the Agreement which is incapable of being remedied or which it fails to remedy within 30 days of written notice to do so; (ii) is subject to any insolvency procedure; or (iii) ceases or threatens to cease trade.
2.9. Without prejudice to any rights or remedies that have accrued under this Agreement, We may at any time terminate or suspend this Agreement, in whole or in part, with immediate effect by giving written notice to You if: (i) You are in breach of any applicable law; (ii) We are required by a regulatory authority; or (iii) to the extent that clause 10 applies, You are in breach of Your warranties under Clause 10.2.
2.10. If You validly terminate the Agreement under clause 2.8 then You shall be entitled to a pro-rated refund of any prepaid Fees which relates to the period after termination. If We validly terminate the Agreement under clause 2.8 then all unpaid Fees for the remainder of the Term shall become immediately due and payable to Us.
2.11. On termination of the Agreement, howsoever arising, Your right to use the Services shall immediately cease. Any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities of each Party that have accrued prior to the effective date of termination shall survive termination of this Agreement as will any clauses of the Agreement which are expressly or impliedly intended to survive termination of the Agreement.

• LandInsight GO ("mobile app")

Data Collection
This section explains the types of personal data we collect from and about you, and the sources of that data.
Data you give us.
This is information about you that you give us by filling in any forms on our services or by corresponding with us by phone, email or otherwise. It includes information you provide when you register to use our services or subscribe to any of our services, and when you report a problem with any of our services. The information you give us may include your name, address, email address, phone number or financial information required for billing purposes.
You may also provide us with information when you attend a networking event.
In our mobile app or LandTech Community, this may be location data and photos in your camera roll. Please see the LandInsight GO section for more detail about this. In LandTech Community and the GMV platform this might also include posts and pictures you share or actions on other posts e.g. likes or comments, event registration details.
You may also participate in a poll or survey on the GMV platform in relation to your views on a particular project or campaign. We may ask for your contact information when participating in a poll and for your views and opinions on questions specific to that campaign. Please note that you can still vote anonymously by choosing not to provide this information, but it is only by creating a profile and providing your name and email address that you can donate points earned by voting to a local charity. Where a client requests additional information specific to a particular project or campaign, they will act as controller in respect of such information in line with their privacy policies.
Please ensure that if you provide us with another individual’s personal data, for example by using the “Recommend” function on LandTech Community, that they have agreed to you giving it to us.
Note that if you provide us with your special category data (for example, in a post on LandTech Community sharing data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious and philosophical beliefs or sexual orientation, etc.) by providing such data, you agree to their processing by us and our service providers if applicable under the conditions set forth in this Privacy Policy.
If you apply for a job with us, you will be required to provide us with your contact information, professional experience, educational history and qualifications, and other information that may be included on your CV. We will also ask for information necessary to complete right to work and background checks. This will be explained further to you at the relevant stage of the job application process.
Data we collect about you.
With regard to your use of our services, we will automatically collect the following information:
• Technical information: the Internet protocol (IP) address, your login information, browser type and version, time zone setting, date and time of access, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system, pages visited and platform.

It also allows us to improve our services. For more detail on the use and purpose, please see our Cookie Policy.

Please note that this privacy policy applies only to the personal data that we collect through our platforms and sites and we cannot be responsible for personal data that third parties may collect, store and use through their website.
Legal basis.
We will only collect, use and share your personal data where we are satisfied that we have an appropriate legal basis to do this. The legal basis we rely upon may impact which rights you have in relation to your personal data (see "Your Rights" below for more information). The legal bases we rely upon are:
• Performance of a contract with you. This applies where you contract with us as an individual, and the processing of your personal data is necessary to provide you with the services, in accordance with our General Terms & Conditions and Website Terms of Use.
• Your consent. This only applies where we have clearly obtained your consent. For example, we may obtain your consent for direct marketing purposes (although note we may also rely on our 'legitimate interests', where permitted to do so by law). We also rely on your consent to access your camera and location data for LandInsight Go (see above). We also rely on consent for non-essential cookies as required under the relevant laws. Where we rely on your consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time (for example, by unsubscribing from marketing, changing your mobile app settings, or otherwise contacting us using the details set out in this Privacy Policy).
• Legal obligation. This applies whenever we need your personal data to comply with a legal obligation, for example maintaining proper accounting records of your transactions with us, or carrying out right to work checks when you apply for a job with us. We may also be under a legal obligation to share data with courts, regulatory or other governmental agencies.
• Legitimate interests. Where the above do not apply, we will have established a legitimate interest to process your personal data for a purpose described in this policy, and will ensure that our interest is not overridden by your rights and freedoms. For example, we have a legitimate interest in:
• Maintaining contact information for representatives of our corporate customers, so that we can provide our services to them and administer their accounts;
• Collecting business contact information for appropriate prospective customers and sending them relevant information about services we reasonably believe may be of interest to them and their business;
• Our use of essential cookies in order to provide you with functional websites;
• Conducting direct marketing and keeping you up-to-date with our services and current activities/campaigns; and
• Preventing account abuse and detecting possible security breaches with respect to our digital platforms.
Referrals.
If you've been referred to our services by a friend, they will be able to provide you with a referral link so that you both can take advantage of our referral scheme benefits. As someone who has been referred to us, we only process your data once you fill in the relevant form to sign up for a free trial and/or use any of our services.
Once you've been referred to us and you choose to use any of our services, you'll then be subject to the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy so please do read them carefully.
Data retention.
Our approach is to only retain personal data for as long as is necessary to satisfy the relevant purpose(s) set out in this policy. We maintain a retention policy taking into account all relevant data categories and imposing timeframes that these should be kept for. Upon expiry of those timeframes we have systems in place to ensure the data is deleted or pseudonymised. Some examples of relevant timeframes we have in place are as follows:
• We will hold information required to maintain accurate company and accounting records (e.g. records of transactions) for 6 years, after which it will be destroyed.
• We will continue to retain personal data where it is necessary for us to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, for example to enforce our contracts or to defend claims from or involving you.
• If you apply for a job with us and are unsuccessful, we will retain your application and personal data for a period of no more than 12 months from our last communication, in order to consider you for future positions and for reporting purposes.
You're able to subscribe and resubscribe from our services at any time so we will not delete your data unless you ask us to do so. However, after 12 months of inactivity we will automatically delete your account and all associated data or anonymise it so that you can no longer be identified from the information. We may hold anonymised data indefinitely.
Please see Your Rights, for more information about this. If you would like your data deleted now, you can email us at compliance@land.tech
Data security
We will make sure to use reasonable measures to protect your personal data. This includes both physical and electronic security measures designed to reduce the risk of accidental destruction, loss or unauthorised disclosure. Measures we take include placing confidentiality requirements on our members of staff and staff at our third party service providers, destroying or permanently anonymising data is it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected. We ask that you take care to keep your information and passwords safe and secure when logging in to and using our services from your device.
We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.
In the UK, if you want detailed information from Get Safe Online on how to protect your information and your computers and devices against fraud, identity theft, viruses and many other online problems, please visit https://www.getsafeonline.org/. Get Safe Online is supported by HM Government and leading businesses.
Where we store your data.
We are a UK headquartered group of companies, and primarily your data will be stored and processed in the UK. However, some of our service providers store and process data outside of the UK and the European Economic Area ("EEA"), for example in the United States. Not all countries outside of the UK and EEA have equivalent data protection laws to the UK and EEA, and consequently we have taken steps to ensure that service providers who may process your personal data outside the EEA have put in place appropriate measures to protect your data, such as by entering into a standard contractual clauses approved by the UK Government, EU Commission or a relevant supervisory authority as appropriate. For transfers to the United States, we utilise the Data Protection Framework where applicable. In non-routine circumstances, we may rely on a derogation available under data protection laws to transfer your personal data outside of the UK and EEA without the aforementioned measures in place. You have a right to see a copy of any agreement under which your personal data is transferred outside of the EEA, although this may be redacted for reasons of commercial sensitivity.
Childrens’ Data
We do not and will not knowingly collect personal data from any unsupervised child under the age of 18. If you are under the age of 18, you may not use our platform unless you have the consent of, and are supervised by, a parent or guardian.
Direct Marketing
We like to keep you posted on everything you need to know about our Site. We usually do this by email. You can choose to stop receiving communications from us at any time by unsubscribing from our e-mails or by contacting us on the details given in the Contact Us section, below. We may ask you to confirm your marketing preferences if you instruct us to provide further services in the future or if we’re required to do so by law or a restructuring of our business.
Your Rights
You have the following rights in relation to your personal data. Please note that some of these rights are dependent on our legal basis for processing your personal data, as explained above. Each right is also subject to exemptions, and we will inform you if we rely on one or more of these. Exercising your rights below is usually free of charge, unless we deem your request to be manifestly unfounded or excessive. We will endeavour to respond to your request promptly but please note there may be instances that we are not able to fully respond to your request, for example if it would detrimentally impact the confidentiality of third parties. Finally, when you make a request we may be required to take steps to confirm your identity.

• The right to access: you can request a copy of the data held and we will follow our internal procedures to provide you with the data that you request where we can, as required by law.
• To rectification: you can contact us to update or correct any of your information. There may be some rectifications you can carry out on your own so please check your account first.

• Right not to be subject to automated decision making: the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling) that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
If you'd like to exercise any of these rights you can email us at compliance@land.tech, or via the specified contact options in the Contact Us section below or other details provided when using our services. In the UK, more information about the rights can be found on the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) website
As it relates to our services and the rights you may choose to exercise, there are some specifics we feel you should be aware of. You should note:
• Deleting our mobile app doesn't delete your data. If you'd like to exercise your right to erasure in this case, please contact us.
• Where your location data is linked to a photo, turning off the location permission may still mean it is held on our servers. If you would like all the location data deleted you would have to delete all your photos from our services.
• You can exercise your right to erasure through the various delete options in our services. This includes the deletion of comments and attachments in the site card. Please note, if you delete anything from our web app it deletes from the mobile app and vice versa.
• We do not use your personal data for the purposes of profiling or automated decision making.
In the UK, you also have the right, at any time, to complain to your supervisory authority. This is the Information Commissioner's Office (https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/). However, we ask that if you are unhappy you try to resolve this with us first – we will do our best to help.
