Please read these terms of service (“terms”, “terms of service”) carefully before using Smart Site Plan website (the “service”) operated by Juno Maps, LLC (“us”, ‘we”, “our”).
1. Specifications of Smart Site Plan™ Service
Smart Site Plan™ (“SSP”) is a cloud-based data integration service, accessed through the Smart Site Plan™ web portal. SSP provides digital access to the best available information, at a given time and place, including but not limited to; the physical location of proposed, under-construction, and as-built infrastructure, land improvements, and site development. SSP can also be used to manage existing infrastructure to record field notes, repairs, service disruptions, etc., at the Licensee location. Licensor’s services are based upon the best available information made available to Licensor by Licensee, professionals engaged by Licensee, and generally available public sources, through the means and media of an Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) arranged for Licensee.
Licensee is solely responsible for all Licensee computer and data interfaces for connection to the SSP web portal. Licensor shall be held harmless from any defects in transmission of data between the SSP web portal and Licensee locations. Licensor’s sole role in dealing with Licensee’s service disruptions and repair dispatch between Licensee and its employees and contractors is limited to Licensor’s entry of such communications into SSP as and when received from Licensee.
SSP information may be used as a reference for professional project design, surveying, engineering, or construction services. Licensor is not responsible for the accuracy of the data included in SSP.
Licensor, in its provision of SSP service, is not providing professional design, surveying, engineering, or construction advice guaranteed to be correct, complete, or up-to-date. SSP is a repository of the best information made available by the Licensee and its professionals or as available on public websites operated by governmental agencies. Licensee acknowledges that it is entitled to rely solely upon the advice of professional design, surveying, engineering, or construction providers in making any decisions based upon information provided through SSP. Professional design, surveying, engineering, and construction advice, and administrative services are available through Juno Maps, LLC under separate professional services agreements.

Indemnification by Licensor. Except as otherwise provided, Licensor, at its own expense, will defend, indemnify, and hold Licensee harmless from any claim made or threatened or any suit or proceeding brought against Licensee insofar as it is based on an allegation that the Smart Site Plan™ service furnished to Licensee under this Agreement infringes any copyright or patent in existence on the date the Software was initially provided to Licensee, but only if Licensee does all of the following:

If none of the foregoing remedies are commercially feasible, then Licensor will return to Licensee any license fees paid for that Software, and upon such a return, any licenses granted to Licensee for that Software shall terminate immediately. This Section (6.c) sets forth the entire obligation of Licensor, and Licensee’s exclusive remedy, for the actual or alleged infringement by any Software of any patent, copyright, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights of any person or entity.
Indemnification by Licensee. Licensee shall defend, indemnify, and hold Licensor harmless, under the same terms and conditions and to the same extent as Licensor’s indemnification obligation pursuant to Section (6.c), from and against any and all claims asserted by a third party against Licensor to the extent such a claim is based or alleges the infringement of that third party’s intellectual property rights by modification(s) of Smart Site Plan™ made by Licensee, or derivative works made by Licensee.
