Changes to These Terms of Use

We are constantly trying to improve our Services, so these Terms of Use may need to change along with the Services. We reserve the right to change the Terms of Use, including the program and collection specific terms, at any time, but if we do, we will alert you by updating the Terms of Use webpage.

If you wish to continue using the Services after any changes to the Terms of Use have been posted, we may request and require your agreement to all of the changes. If you don’t agree with the new Terms of Use; unfortunately, that means you may no longer be able to use the Services.

For terms governing legacy programs, please refer to www.planet.com/licensing-information/legacy-terms.

If you license Planet Data via Sentinel Hub, please refer to Planet Data below.

Using Sentinel Hub

Sentinel Hub allows any user who has created an account to browse earth observation data from public data sets in the Platform, or via API from other data set(s) that you have licensed. No express or implied warranties shall apply to the public data sets, which are provided “as-is” with all defects. No technical or other support is included. You may also license Planet or other third party data via Sentinel Hub. All data, including public data sets, is subject to the Collection Specific Termsbelow.

If you purchase Processing Units, you can (1) search data from public data sets in the Platform, or via API from other commercial data set(s) that you have licensed; and (2) use Sentinel Hub tools and features to process the data via API, and then download and stream that data via API. Once you have purchased Processing Units, you may add additional Processing Units as pay-as-you-go or prepaid credits. If you purchase Processing Units pursuant to a plan this is not otherwise restricted, you may use the Sentinel Hub APIs for commercial purposes, such as within an application (i.e., if a plan specifies “non-commercial/research” it may not be used for commercial purposes).

From time to time, Planet may offer “free trials” on paid plans for Processing Units, which means the user can consume the trial Processing Units for a period of time at no cost. These programs may include vouchers for non-commercial use, sponsored by the European Space Agency, as well as no-fee EO Browser access. Pricing for Pricing Units may vary by user type, quantity, payment cycle (e.g., monthly vs. annual).

Your right to continue using Sentinel Hub is conditioned on your timely payment of all applicable fees.

Sentinel Hub Payment Terms

Upon purchasing any paid Services, you authorize us or our authorized vendor(s) to store your payment method and use it in connection with your use of the Services as either monthly or annually. To avoid interruption of your service, we may participate in programs supported by your card provider to try to update your payment information. You authorize us or our authorized vendor(s) to continue billing and charging your account for amounts owed with the information that we obtain.

Your subscription begins as soon as your initial payment is processed. If your primary payment method fails, you authorize us to charge any other payment method in your account. If you have not provided us with a backup payment method(s) and you fail to provide payment, or if all payment methods in your account fail, we may suspend your subscription. You can edit your stored payment information anytime.

If your account exceeds the number of requests allowed by your plan, we may charge you overage fees at the end of your billing period. Overage rates vary by plan. You agree to pay overage fees for all usage including requests that result from unexpected traffic. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you if your account reaches 90% of the allowed volume within a billing period.

For European Economic Area customers, your bank may require you to authenticate your initial purchase using a password, a one-time code sent to your mobile number, or biometric recognition. When you authenticate, you also authorize us to charge your payment method for your additional purchases without providing us further payment information or other instructions (i.e., we will initiate future payments independently). Such additional purchases may occur when we automatically charge your payment method in connection with a recurring subscription, or when you add or change licenses or products.

Annual Plans

You will be charged, in one lump sum, the annual rate stated at the time of purchase, plus applicable taxes. Unless otherwise indicated at the time of your original subscription, your subscription will not automatically renew. You authorize us to store your payment method(s) directly or through a third party service provider and, if you agree to automatic renewal, we may automatically charge your payment method(s) every year until you cancel. We will automatically charge you the then-current rate for your plan, plus applicable taxes (such as VAT or GST if the rate does not include it), every year upon renewal until you cancel. We may change your plan’s rate each annual renewal term, and we will notify you of any rate change with the option to cancel. If the applicable VAT or GST rate (or other included tax or duty) changes during your one-year term, we will accordingly adjust the tax-inclusive price for your plan mid-term on your next billing date.

You can cancel your subscription anytime; however, your payment is non-refundable, and your service will continue until the end of your contracted term.

Monthly Plans

Your subscription will automatically renew each month without notice until you cancel. You authorize us to store your payment method(s) directly or through a third party service provider and to automatically charge your payment method(s) every month until you cancel. We will automatically charge you the then-current rate for your plan, plus applicable taxes (such as VAT or GST if the rate does not include it), every month upon renewal until you cancel. We may change your plan’s rate each monthly renewal term, and we will notify you of any rate change with the option to cancel. If the applicable VAT or GST rate (or other included tax or duty) changes during your one-month term, we will accordingly adjust the tax-inclusive price for your plan on your next billing date. Unused quota does not rollover month to month, and will expire if not used within the month.

You can cancel your subscription anytime; however, your payment is non-refundable, and your service will continue until the end of that month’s billing period.

You are responsible for all taxes and other amounts imposed by any governmental agency arising from your use of the Services. The fees for Services are exclusive of all applicable transaction taxes, including sales and use, value-added and business taxes. In addition, you are responsible for any bank fees, interest charges, finance charges, overdraft fees, or other fees resulting from charges billed by Planet. Currency exchange settlements will be based on agreements between you and the provider of your credit card.

Sentinel Hub Service Levels

Planet will use reasonable commercial efforts to make Sentinel Hub services available 99% of the time every month. If Sentinel Hub does not meet this standard, you may be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below.

Defining Unavailability

A Sentinel Hub API will be considered fully or partially unavailable when the API is inaccessible from any location (in which case availability for the API for the relevant time period will be calculated as the fraction of your API requests that are failing worldwide).

Uptime in a month will be calculated across APIs based on the uptime of each individual API you use during the month, weighted by the fraction of all your Sentinel Hub API requests accounted for by each API during that month. For purposes of this section, a "month" means a calendar month.

Service Credits

Service credits are calculated as a percentage of the total charges you owe us for Sentinel Hub services each month, or your annual fee divided by 12, as follows:

Total Available Uptime (across all APIs ) per month

Credit Amount

100% - 99%

0%

95% - 99%

10%

Less than 95%

25%

To receive a credit, you must contact Planet within 10 days following the end of the unavailability via email at info@sentinel-hub.com and include the dates and times of unavailability. If we confirm that the uptime percentage in a month covered by your request is below 99%, we will issue you the service credit. Service credit is added to the end of your term for the service, and cannot be exchanged for, or converted to, monetary compensation. The maximum service credit that we will issue for downtime in a month is 25% of the fees you otherwise owe us for that month.

This Service Level Agreement is your sole and exclusive remedy (and our sole liability) for unavailability of our services.

Limitations

A period of unavailability is excluded from the service level guarantee, and will not count towards unavailability calculations for purposes of service credits, if:

  1. the unavailability is due to scheduled maintenance, provided we notify you at least 5 days in advance; or
  2. the unavailability is due to Data providers failing to provide the data; or
  3. you are in breach of your services agreement with us (including your payment obligations to us), or the unavailability is otherwise due to your actions; or
  4. the unavailability is caused by factors outside of our reasonable control, including a force majeure event; internet access problems; blocking, filtering, or censorship of our services by a government or other third party; or other problems beyond our services.

Sentinel Hub Collection Specific Additional Terms

Within Sentinel Hub there are third party data collections (“Third-Party Collections”), which are subject to separate terms and conditions (“Collection Specific Terms”). In addition to these Terms of Use, if you have been given permission such Third Party Collections, you are subject to the applicable Collection Specific Terms below or as otherwise specified in the Platform. You acknowledge and agree that Planet makes no representations or commitments as to such Third-Party Content and assumes no liability for such Third-Party Content. You are responsible for complying with all applicable Collection Specific Terms.

If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and the Collection Specific Terms, then the Collection Specific Terms govern in relation to that data set.

Landsat Data

Your use of USGS Landsat Data is also subject to the USGS terms. Please note that Landsat data collection acquired through the Services should be credited as follows:

Product, Image, Photograph, or Data Collection Name) courtesy of the U.S. Geological Survey processed by Sentinel Hub

Example: Landsat 7 image courtesy of the U.S. Geological Survey processed by Sentinel Hub

Sentinel Data

Your use of Copernicus Sentinel data and service information is also subject to the Legal Notice. Please note that Sentinel data collection acquired through the Services should be credited as follows:

Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data [Year] processed by Sentinel Hub

Maxar Data

Your use of Maxar Data is subject to Maxar WorldView terms and conditions.

MODIS Data

Information about how MODIS Data can be used is available from NASA. Acknowledgement or credit of the NASA GSFC as data collection acquired through the Services should be provided. See NASA GSFC's citation examples on the following link.

Planet Data

Some users may have access to Planet’s Services pursuant to a separate signed agreement. If you have separately licensed Planet Data, you can use it in Sentinel Hub through APIs. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and the separate signed agreement, then the terms of that separate signed agreement shall govern in relation to that product or service.

In addition, from time to time certain limited Planet datasets may be made available to you at low or no cost for the primary purpose of evaluating different data types, including “sandbox” or “open” data. These limited Planet datasets are subject to the particular license assigned to the dataset, and not to the license provided below. No express or implied warranties shall apply to the Free Plans or Open Collections, which are provided “as-is” with all defects. No technical or other support is included.

If you license any of Planet imagery data offerings (e.g., PlanetScope, SkySat Archive, etc.) (“Planet Data”) through Sentinel Hub, and not via a separate written agreement, access to and use of such Planet Data is subject to the Usage Terms listed below and the Master Content License Agreement (“MCLA”), including the General Definitions found at https://www.planet.com/licensing-information/. Any term capitalized but not otherwise defined in these Terms of Use shall have the meaning set forth in the General Definitions. For the purposes of clarification, references to “Order Schedule” in the MCLA shall be deemed to refer to the Sentinel Hub order transaction and this section of these Terms of Use that governs use of Planet Data.

Usage Terms: If you license Planet Data through Sentinel Hub, you have the limited, nontransferable, nonexclusive, non-sublicensable, non-assignable, revocable license to: (i) use, access, and view Planet Data through the Platform and third party applications; (ii) develop online, desktop, or mobile applications (“Application Derivative Products”) and printed or digital media (“Media Derivative Products”); (iii) the right make the Application Derivative Products available to third parties (“Application End Users”) solely for their internal use and with no further rights of distribution, provided that it does not contain the source imagery from the Planet Data and from which the Planet Data cannot be extracted. You shall display an industry standard copyright notice identifying Planet as the source of the data in any Media Derivative Products or Application Derivative Products. You shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent, and in no event permit, the download or imagery-capture (screen-scrapes, tile grabbing, etc.) of Planet Data.

For the purposes of clarification, in the event more than one Application End User is provided with Application Derivative Products that are based on the same Planet Data (or the same Application Derivative Product is otherwise distributed to more than one distinct Application End User), you must ensure that a separate data request is submitted to Planet for each Application End User. Accordingly, Planet Data must be served directly from Sentinel Hub (i.e. via API), where the unique or new request registers the appropriate Processing Unit use, and may not rely on caching, redirection, or any other local storage.

Planet’s Copyright And Intellectual Property Policy

Planet respects intellectual property laws and has adopted the following Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy.

Reporting Instances of Intellectual Property Violations

Planet will respond to notices of intellectual property violations that provide complete information for us to identify and locate the allegedly infringing materials. Where appropriate, we will remove allegedly infringing materials. Upon review, we may decline to remove allegedly infringing materials – for example, if we determine they are not infringing, if we lack adequate information to determine that they are infringing, if we are unable to find the accused materials, or if the materials are protected by the fair use doctrine, among other reasons.

Please note, under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), section 512(f), any person that knowingly materially misrepresents that activity is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney’s fees. If someone has posted your original work (for example, a photo you took, or an article you wrote) without your permission, you may want to seek legal guidance to find out if your intellectual property rights have been infringed. Planet is unable to provide you with legal advice regarding copyright, trademark or other intellectual property matters.

Copyright Notices

If you believe that material accessible on or through Planet’s Services infringes a copyright, please send a notice of copyright infringement to dmcaagent@planet.com with the following information:

  1. Identification of the work or material that you claim has been infringed. If this material exists online, please provide a URL.

  3. Contact information, including your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  4. A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or law.

Termination and Cancellation

Termination

Planet is also free to terminate (or suspend access to) your use of the Services or your account, for any reason in our discretion, including your violation of these Terms of Use. Planet has the sole right to decide whether you are in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in these Terms of Use. If we cancel your account or terminate your use of the Services in its entirety without cause, we will refund to you on a pro-rata basis the amount of your payment corresponding to the portion of your service remaining right before we cancelled your account.

Account termination may result in destruction of any materials or information, including User Submissions, associated with your account, so keep that in mind before you decide to terminate your account.

Provisions that, by their nature, should survive termination of these Terms of Use shall survive termination. By way of example, all of the following will survive termination: any obligation you have to pay us or indemnify us, any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership or intellectual property rights, and terms regarding disputes between us.

Cancellation

You may cancel your paid subscription(s) at any time with provision of a written notice of termination to Planet. However, we do not give pro-rated refunds for unused time, data, downloads, processing units, or request volume if you cancel during the middle of a billing cycle. Cancellation or termination of your account does not relieve you of any accrued payment obligations.

Indemnity

To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold Planet, its affiliates, officers, agents, employees, and partners harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages (actual and consequential), losses and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or in any way related to any third-party claims relating to (a) your use of the Services (including any actions taken by a third party using your account), and (b) your violation of these Terms of Use. In the event of such a claim, suit, or action (“Claim”), we will attempt to provide notice of the Claim to the contact information we have for your account (provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not eliminate or reduce your indemnification obligations hereunder).

Assignment

You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms of Use or your rights or obligations hereunder, or your Services account, in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without Planet's prior written consent. We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms of Use and our rights and obligations without consent.

Compliance

Your use of the Services shall comply fully with all applicable laws and regulations, which may include, without limitation, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-corruption laws and regulations, economic sanctions administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and export controls administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. Department of State, and other governments and governmental entities (collectively, “Trade Control Laws”). Without limiting the foregoing, you shall ensure that neither the Services nor any part or derivation thereof is: (a) provided to or the subject of any transaction or dealing, directly or indirectly, with or related to a Sanctioned Jurisdiction or Restricted Party (as such terms are defined below), except as prior licensed or otherwise authorized under Trade Control Laws; (b) exported, reexported, transferred, re-transferred or otherwise shipped, directly or indirectly, in violation of any applicable Trade Control Laws; or (c) used for nuclear end-uses, rocket systems, unmanned air vehicles, chemical or biological weapons, maritime nuclear propulsion, weapons of mass destruction, or other restricted end-uses except as licensed or otherwise authorized under applicable Trade Control Laws. “Sanctioned Jurisdiction” means a country, region, territory, or government with respect to which the U.S. government imposes economic sanctions (e.g., Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria). “Restricted Party” means an individual or entity included on any of the restricted party lists maintained by the U.S. Government (e.g., Specially Designated Nationals List, Foreign Sanctions Evader List, Sectoral Sanctions Identification List, Denied Persons List, Unverified List, Entity List, or List of Statutorily Debarred Parties).

Ethics

You acknowledge receipt of Planet’s Statement of Ethical Principles (https://www.planet.com/ethics/ or successor URL). Without limiting your obligation to comply with applicable international law, Planet may suspend or terminate your access to the Services or any part thereof if Planet has a reason to believe that you have used the Services for the intentional targeting of civilians or in connection with the indiscriminate use of weapons.

Limitations on Planet’s Operations

From time to time, Planet may be compelled by governmental licensing authorities to provide access to the Services to regulators or others as may be required for compliance purposes. In addition, Planet may be required to cease or limit its operations, including the collection or distribution of satellite imagery data in certain areas for certain periods of time. Planet’s limitation on operations for the reasons set forth herein shall not be considered a failure or breach of these Terms of Use.

US Government Rights

No technical data or computer software is developed under these Terms of Use, and the Services provided hereunder are “commercial products and services” as that term is defined at FAR 2.101 and have been developed at private expense. The Services and all parts thereof are provided with limited rights asserted by Planet.
