However, Customer shall not reassign such user account as a means of sharing use of the Event Diagraming Platform within Customer’s operations, rather, Customer shall purchase additional users as required. Cvent reserves the right to impose a reconnection fee, not to exceed $500 or equivalent of local currency, in the event Customer is suspended for a reason caused by Customer and thereafter Customer requests renewed access to the Event Diagraming Platform.
  3. License to Customer Data - Customer hereby grants Cvent a non-transferable (except as provided herein), royalty-free (except as provided herein), non-exclusive, worldwide license to display, transmit, distribute, copy, store and/or reproduce the Customer Data on or through the Event Diagraming Platform or any other platforms maintained by Cvent, Inc. or its affiliates and to disclose Customer Data to third party service providers for Cvent to operate the Services.

  4. Floor Plans.  “Floor Plans” means all renderings of a physical space uploaded to the Customer’s instance of the Event Diagraming Platform in a system supported format (e.g., a PDF, image file, acceptable CAD file or Event Diagraming’ proprietary FPC2 (or later) data file) but excluding Event Diagraming’ proprietary data structure for storing and representing such Floor Plans.

 

 

CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE EVENT DIAGRAMING PLATFORM RELIES ON BLUEPRINTS THAT ARE PROVIDED BY CUSTOMER OR THAT MAY BE CREATED BY CVENT, AND THAT THE EVENT DIAGRAMING PLATFORM MATHEMATICALLY EXTRAPOLATES DATA DETERMINED FROM SUCH BLUEPRINTS, AND UNDERSTANDS THAT SUCH BLUEPRINTS AND DATA MAY CONTAIN ERRORS OR INACCURACIES, AND THAT SUCH DATA WHEN USED BY THE EVENT DIAGRAMING PLATFORM MAY PERMIT CONFIGURATIONS THAT VIOLATE THE LAWS, RULES OR REGULATIONS OF THE JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE FACILITY REPRESENTED IN SUCH BLUEPRINT IS LOCATED (WHETHER BY OVERRIDE BY CUSTOMER OR BY FUNCTION OF THE EVENT DIAGRAMING PLATFORM). CONSEQUENTLY, CUSTOMER AGREES THAT IT IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT THE PLANS GENERATED BY THE EVENT DIAGRAMING PLATFORM ARE SUITABLE FOR THE CONTEMPLATED EVENT AND WILL IN PRACTICE ACTUALLY PERMIT THE USE OF THE SPACE CONTEMPLATED IN SUCH PLAN AND THAT SUCH PLAN COMPLIES WITH ALL LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS APPLICABLE IN THE LOCAL JURISDICTION FOR WHICH THE PLAN HAS BEEN CREATED
