1. Use of Data
Cartesius uses multiple open data sources with different licenses. The User agrees to verify that it can use the data and check with the given licenses before using it. The User acknowledges that it is solely responsible for ensuring that its use of the data complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and licenses.
2. Free Tier

7. Account Cancellation
Cartesius reserves the right to cancel any account at any time. Cancellation does not entitle customers to a refund of any fees already paid. Unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing, we reserve the right to cancel service to paid customers at any time and will provide a pro-rata refund for the remaining amount of the current billing period. The User may change or cancel the plan at any time, but cancellation does not entitle the User to a refund of any fees already paid.

In no event shall Cartesius be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages arising out of or in connection with the use of the services, whether based on breach of contract, tort (including negligence), product liability, or otherwise, even if Cartesius has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
11. Indemnification
The User agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Cartesius, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers from and against all claims, losses, expenses, damages, and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in connection with the User's use of the services or any violation of this Agreement.
13. Governing Law

15. Entire Agreement
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the User and Cartesius and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the services.
17. Modifications to Agreement
Cartesius may modify this Agreement at any time without prior notice. The User's continued use of the services after any modification to this Agreement constitutes the User's acceptance of the modified terms.
