Description of Services
We provide you as a developer ("Developer") or a publisher ("Publisher") with an augmented reality application, application programming interfaces ("APIs"), software development kits ("SDKs"), tools and other related means, services, features and functionalities (jointly: the "Services" or "Optional Services" as the case may be). The Optional Services have Additional Terms and Conditions which are included as attachments to these Terms. Where the term “Services” is used in this Agreement the corrresponding clause applies also to all the Optional Services attached to this agreement. The Services enable you to exchange or provide content in the public space with our users ("Users") or users of third party services in the form of augmented reality layers that can be viewed using a compatible application ("AR Browser"). Augmented reality layers may contain content, including but not limited to text, pictures, graphics, 2D/3D models, videos and links, jointly referred as the “Digital Content”, as well as images required for the detection and tracking of features to display content ("Reference Images"). A "Layer" is the aggregation of multiple Pages and their associated Digital Content (in which case we refer to it as a "Vision Layer" or "Campaign"), or just the aggregation of location-based Digital Content (in which case we refer to it as a "Geo Layer") to be provided as one entity to our users, typically an aggregation that reflects a physical product such as a magazine, or an aggregation representing a specific location-based service, as determined by the Publisher. The collection of all your content, encompassing the Digital Content and the Reference Images, is referred to as "Third Party Content". When adding content, it is important that you respect locations, intellectual property rights, privacy and the rights of third parties at all times.
1. Acceptance of Terms
1.1. Please read these Terms and Conditions ("Terms") carefully. These apply between you and Layar B.V., Weteringschans 109, 1017 SB Amsterdam, The Netherlands ("Layar" or "We") and Layar's affiliated companies. By using the Services in whichever form, through whatever technological means and wherever you are, you enter into an agreement with us and accept these Terms and any legal notices that Layar may post from time to time, such as our Notice-and-take down Procedure, Payment Policy and Privacy Policy (see www.layar.com/legal) and – by continuing your use of the Services – all amendments that Layar implements and communicates to you. If you use any of the Optional Services, namely the Layar Creator, the Layar App Service or the Layar Connect API, please make sure you also read the Additional Terms in the attachments to this Agreement. By using any of the Optional Services, you are also bound to the Additional Terms for that specific Optional Service. You should save these Terms on a permanent data carrier – for later inspection – and print them before starting to use the Services.
1.2. You are only allowed to use the Services if you are 13 years or older. If you are between 13 and 18 years of age, please read these Terms together with your legal guardian(s), who must give permission for such access/use.
1.3. If you act on behalf of a company, you acknowledge that you are legally entitled to represent your company when accepting these Terms.

2.2.3. Layar is entitled, at its sole discretion, to refuse a Publisher account.
2.2.4. Termination of (the parts of) an agreement with you leads to the automatic termination of your Publisher account and revocation of publication approval(s). Terms of termination are set forth in section 11 of these Terms.

2.3.4. Unless we agree otherwise, termination of (the parts of) an agreement with you leads to the automatic termination of your Developer account. Terms of termination are set forth in section 11 of these Terms.

3. Marketing and Distribution on Behalf of Publishers
3.1. Upon request for publication, the Publisher authorises and instructs Layar, which instruction Layar accepts upon approval for publication, to: (i) market the Digital Content; (ii) make the Digital Content available to Users on Publisher's behalf, e.g. by the mere conduit of Digital Content to Users and caching thereof; (iii) obtain orders for access to Digital Content from Users on your behalf; (iv) allow and sublicense Users to access and use (copies of the) Digital Content; (v) use the Digital Content to enable Users to post or display content; (vi) make copies of, format, and otherwise prepare Digital Content for delivery to Users, including Users using any (3rd party) AR Browser that supports interoperability with the Platform and including adding security solutions; and (vii) use the Digital Content, including but not limited to screen shots and excerpts thereof, trademarks and logos associated therewith for promotional purposes.
3.2. The Publisher grants Layar a personal, non-assignable, worldwide, royalty-free and non-exclusive license to (i) store and process the Reference Images uploaded to the Platform to the extent necessary to provide the Services in accordance with these Terms and the Services in accordance to the Layar Terms & Conditions for End-Users; this right extends to the taking of fingerprints in order to detect and track Reference Images; (ii) enable the publication of the associated Digital Content on a supported mobile device when its User views the print copy or other (digital) reproduction of a Reference Image through the Platform; and (iii) make copies of, format, and otherwise prepare Reference Images for delivery to Users for the purpose of viewing the associated Digital Content. No other publishing rights are granted to Layar with regard to the Reference Images.
3.3. Layar will provide the hosting and publication service for each Vision Layer for a pre- determined period after the Layer has been published by You. Depending on the mode of publication, you will be notified of the period of publication of your Layer. If it isn’t mentioned at the time of publication or agreed with you otherwise, the period of publication is at most 1 (one) year. After that period, Layar may unpublish the Digital Content.
3.4. The Publisher acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Publisher shall be solely responsible for any Third Party Content and all claims and liabilities relating to the Third Party Content; (ii) Layar's efforts directed to marketing and making the Third Party Content available to Users are performed on the Publisher's behalf; and (iii) the Publisher's relationship with Layar is non-exclusive.
4. Provision of the Services
4.1. You agree that the form and nature of the Services may change from time to time without prior notice to you. Such changes can include but are not limited to bug fixes, patches, modified functionalities, new versions of the Platform, and/or modifications in the provision of Optional Services, facilities and/or support.
4.2. You understand and accept that we may involve affiliated companies in providing the Services to you.
4.3. Layar provides the Services and all Optional Services with reasonable care and skill. You understand and accept that the Services are provided "as is" and "as available".

4.4. You agree that we may provide you with written or electronic notices (e.g. by e-mail, regular mail, SMS, MMS, social media messages, or postings).
4.5. Layar provides the Services on the basis of a Fair Use Policy. Should your Digital Content generate an amount of traffic to Layar’s servers such that this greatly impacts Layar’s cost of operation, we reserve the right to throttle or temporarily disable access to your Digital Content. The threshold for such an event is when traffic to your Digital Content is more than 25% of all Layar traffic for repeated, prolonged periods of time over the course of multiple days. We will warn you at least 24 hours prior to taking such measures with the goal of reaching a common understanding on how to proceed.
5. Use of the Services
5.1. You will be responsible for any content that you exchange, provide or upload, whether or not you connect to the Platform. You should always be aware of and pay cautious attention to the context and environment in which you exchange, provide or upload content.

5.2. You will refrain from (re-)selling, trading, leasing, renting, loaning and distributing the Services, unless we agree otherwise and such activities will be subject to specific terms. You may not modify, copy, or create derivative works based on the Services. unless specifically agreed otherwise in written form.
5.3. You are entitled to stop publishing Third Party Content at any time.
5.4. As part of the Services, Layar may provide you with API's to establish a link between the Third Party Content and the Services. The use of any API provided by Layar is subject to these Terms. When an affiliated company provides you with an API as part of the Services, it may apply different or additional terms and conditions which you accept when using the API.

Attachment 1 (to the Terms)
Additional Terms and Conditions for Layar Creator Service
The following terms are in addition to the Terms of the Agreement and apply to any use by you of the Layar Creator. The “Layar Creator Services” include, but are not limited to hosting services, including storage of your content and Software as a Service ("SaaS"). When we provide you with the Layar Creator Services, our service consists of the remote placing and maintaining at your disposal of content (including software) that you upload, whether or not you connect to the Platform software via the internet or any other electronic communications network, without us providing you with any physical data medium.
Definitions
"Layar Platform" means the most current version of Layar’s web-based software platform for the hosting of the augmented reality application, APIs, software development kits (including the Layar Creator), tools, and other related means, services, features and functionalities, and any patches, updates, upgrades, or improvements which may be made to any of foregoing (or any component thereof).
"Associated Content" means those portions of the Digital Content linked by you to a Reference Image contained in the Layar Platform.
"Page" is the term used in the Layar Creator to denote a Reference Image.
"Campaign" means the aggregation of multiple Pages and their Associated Content. A Campaign can have different statuses: Draft, Published or Archived. Only Published Campaigns are publicly online and their Digital Content can be accessed by end-users.

1. Provision of the Services
1.1 We shall not be obliged to provide you with a physical data carrier containing the content within the context of SaaS, or the software we may use in the provision of the Layar Creator Services to you.
1.2 When providing you with the Layar Creator, we will make every effort to ensure that these Services are provided with due care. We provide the Layar Creator on the basis of a best efforts obligation.
1.3 You acknowledge that we may continue to provide the Layar Creator using new or amended versions of our (other) Services. We are, however, under no obligation to maintain, change or add certain features or functionalities of the Services specifically for you, and you accept that we reserve the right to reject any modification you request.
1.4 In addition to the exclusion of warranties set forth in these Terms, you agree that we cannot warrant that the Layar Creator Services provided to you are free of defects and will operate without interruptions. We shall always use reasonable efforts to fix any defects in the Layar Creator Services within a reasonable period of time. We may install temporary solutions, program bypasses or problem-avoiding restrictions.
2. Hosting and Publication
2.1 While providing you with the Layar Creator Services, Layar agrees to (i) store and host the Reference Images uploaded by you to the Layar Platform to the extent necessary to provide the Services in accordance with this Agreement, and (ii) enable the publication of the Associated Content on a mobile device when its User activates any of the widgets or buttons created by You (using the Layar Creator) on the print copy of a Reference Image in the Layar Platform.
2.2 Your Campaigns will be hosted and published for a fixed period of time, the Publishing Period, during which end-users will be able to view the Digital Content published as part of the Campaign. The Expiry date of your Campaigns will be displayed in the Layar Creator in your Campaign overview.
2.3 At the time of publication, Layar will clearly indicate the Publishing Period of your Campaign, depending on the choices you make (e.g. publishing for free may give you a shorter publishing period than publishing as ‘Pro’ campaign using Credits).
2.4 If you published a Campaign prior to the Effective Date of these current Terms, the Expiry Date will be 1 (one) year after the last Page published as part of your Campaign prior to the Effective Date. Any Pages added to your Campaign and published after the Effective Date will not affect the Expiry Date.
2.5 After the Expiry date, your campaign will be archived, meaning Layar will unpublish the Digital Content and make it inaccessible to end-users. This applies for all Pages included in your campaign, regardless whether they were added and published at a later date.
2.6 Once archived, you may choose to re-publish your Campaign, at which point a new Expiry date will be set. Layar may restrict you to re-publish your Campaign under certain conditions only, including but not restricted to setting a fee for publication or requiring you to spend Credits for each Page in the Campaign.
2.7 Layar is not responsible for warning you in anticipation of one of your Campaigns expiring.
2.8 Layar may change the Publishing period and the terms for re-publishing at any time. Such changes will not affect the Expiry date of Campaigns published prior to the change.
3. Subscription Services
3.1 Certain features of the Layar Creator are only accessible as part of a (paid) Subscription, such as our Premium Account for the Layar Creator. The features offered as part of a Subscription will be published on the website. By applying for a Subscription plan on the Layar website, you agree to the Terms set forth in this section.
3.2 The special features will be activated as soon as Layar has been able to verify your payment of the fee for the first period of the subscription, or has decided that you qualify for early activation in which case you should fulfill due payment according to our Payment Policy (clause 6.6 of our general Terms).
3.3 If during the term of your subscription, you create Digital Content using any of the special features offered by your subscription, that Digital Content will remain available within your Campaigns after your subscription is terminated.
3.4 Layar may offer various subscription periods, e.g. one month, six months and one year, with their respective prices. The available subscription periods are published on our website.
3.5 A Subscription is entered on the basis of auto-renewal: Unless you terminate your subscription according to the terms set forth in clause 3.8 below, Layar will renew your subscription automatically. You acknowledge that you will be invoiced for the new period as soon as your subscription has renewed. Layar will either withdraw the subscription fee from your authorised credit card/bank account or request you to fulfil the invoice according to our Payment Policy (clause 6.6 of the general Terms).
3.6 If the subscription period is 3 (three) months or longer, you may terminate your subscription by giving us notice by emailing to help@layar.com at least 1 (one) calendar month prior to the next renewal date of your subscription. Failure of giving us such notice will automatically renew your subscription with the same period. If the subscription period is shorter, you may cancel your subscription at any time, and your subscription will remain valid until the next renewal date, upon which it will end.
3.7 Likewise, you may switch to a different subscription period by giving us the same advance notice as stated in 3.5. Note that you may only switch to one of the subscription periods that we offer at that moment, as published on our website.
3.8 Layar reserves the right to change the subscription fees and subscription periods offered at any time. Such changes will come into effect for your subscription on the next renewal date.
3.9 Layar reserves the right to change the set of features that come with a subscription at any time.
3.10 In the case that Layar changes the subscription fees in a way that is disadvantageous to you, your subscription will stop to auto-renew at the next renewal date and you will be given the option to renew your subscription or change your subscription. Without any action on your part, your subscription will terminate in such an event.
3.11 Layar may terminate your subscription at its own discretion, giving you notice prior to the next renewal date of your subscription with the same notice periods defined in 3.8.
3.12 You are responsible to ensure that due subscription fees are in the possession of Layar within due dates as set forth by our Payment Policy (clause 6.6 of the general Terms). Failing to do so will result in an immediate suspension of the features and rights associated with your subscription, until you have fulfilled your payment obligations with Layar. Such suspension does not relieve you from your obligation to settle the due fees for the renewal of your subscription, as stated in our Temporary Suspension clause 6.7 of the general Terms.
4. Security

3. Provision of the Layar SDK Services
3.1. Your Layar SDK license allows you to use the Layar SDK in one (1) Developer App. Your Developer App must be registered on the Layar Platform and may consist of different versions of the same app for different mobile platforms (e.g. one version for iOS and one version for Android). Your Developer App will be identified on the Layar Platform by its unique ID, as defined by the specific platform (e.g. the iOS Bundle Identifier or the Android Package Name).
3.2. In order to use the Layar SDK in conjunction with our APIs you will be assigned an OAuth key and secret (jointly referred to as “Keys”) that must be provided to the Layar SDK when using it in your Developer Apps. The same Keys can be used in the same Developer App on various platforms (e.g. iOS and Android), but not in different Developer Apps on the same platform. You will refrain from using the Keys in any other app than the one for which the Keys were issued. Layar has the right to discontinue the Layar SDK Services immediately and without prior notice if your app is in violation of this clause.
3.3. Your Keys will unlock access to either Vision layers or Geo layers or both, depending on the terms of the separate Agreement you have made with Layar. Only content published by one or more Publisher Accounts that are associated with your Keys can be viewed through the Layar SDK. These Publishers are determined by the terms of the Agreement.
3.4. If you have been provided with a trial period by Layar, your Keys will expire upon expiry of the trial period. Your Developer Apps will not function when the Keys have expired. You are not allowed to publish any of your Developer Apps to a public App Store (e.g. to the Apple App Store or to Google Play) without having received the final Keys that are valid for at least one (1) year.
3.5. You agree that the form and nature of the Layar SDK Services may change from time to time without prior notice to you. Such changes can include but are not limited to bug fixes, patches, modified functionalities and new versions of the Layar SDK and related Services.
3.6. You understand and accept that Layar may involve subsidiaries and affiliated companies (the "Supporting Companies") in providing the Layar SDK Services to you. These Supporting Companies will then be providing those Layar SDK Services to you on behalf of Layar.
3.7. Your license fee will allow you to receive updates to the Layar SDK during one (1) year after the Effective Date, unless this SDK License Agreement is terminated before the first year (see clause 14). Such updates can include but are not limited to bug fixes, patches and modified functionalities. You are solely responsible for updating your apps to use the updated Layar SDK. You understand and accept that Layar will only fix bugs and defects against the latest version of the Layar SDK and not maintain separate versions of the Layar SDK.
3.8. Past the one year period after the Effective Date, Layar will charge you an additional support fee if you wish to receive updates of the Layar SDK. The fee will be set forth in a separate (electronic) communication form to you and/or on the Layar websites.
3.9. Under no circumstances will Layar be obliged to provide you with corrections of the Layar SDK should defects in the Layar SDK arise.
3.10. You agree that Layar may provide you with notices regarding the Layar SDK Services through any customary means of communication, e.g. by e-mail, regular mail, SMS, MMS, social media messages, postings on or through Layar's websites.
4. APIs
4.1. As part of the Layar SDK Services, Layar or its Supporting Companies may provide you with APIs to establish a link between the Developer App and the Layar Platform. The use of any API provided by Layar is subject to this SDK License Agreement and existing Layar policies which can be found at: layar.com/legal as amended from time to time. When a Supporting Company provides you with an API as part of the Layar SDK Services, it may apply different or additional terms and conditions which you hereby accept.
4.2. If you use any API provided by Layar or its Supporting Companies, you acknowledge that the data, content, and information made available through these APIs may be protected by intellectual property rights which are owned by Layar, the Supporting Companies, their licensors, or those parties that provide the data, content, and information.
4.3. If you use any API to process End User's data, you acknowledge and agree that you shall process data only with the End User's explicit prior consent and only when, and only for the limited purposes for which the End User has given you permission to do so.

5.1. Opening an Account may be necessary to gain access to the Platform or certain parts thereof.
5.2. Layar is always entitled to refuse or close an Account at its sole discretion.
5.3. As part of the registration process and as part of the continued use of the Services you may be required to provide information, such as your name, address, email address, country. You agree and warrant that all information you provide in that respect will always be accurate, correct and up-to-date.
5.4. You understand and accept that you are solely responsible for safeguarding the confidentiality and security of your Account, including but not limited to keeping your passwords confidential.
5.5. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely and entirely responsible for all activities that occur on or through your Account.

6. Third Party Content
6.1. If you use the SDK to be able to run Third Party Content in the Developer Apps, you agree that Layar is not responsible for such Third Party Content. You understand that all Third Party Content which can be accessed or used by you or End Users is the sole responsibility of the party from which such Third Party Content originated and that Layar is not liable for any loss or damage that you or End Users may experience as a result of the use or access of the Third Party Content.
6.2. You acknowledge that Layar shall not monitor and review the Third Party Content on compliance with the SDK License Agreement, except for a limited test to see if the Third Party Content contains technical limitations which prevent granting approval for publication. However, Layar reserves the right to screen, filter, adapt, refuse, or delete (parts of) the Third Party Content whenever it deems necessary and at its sole discretion.
6.3. Should Layar establish that the Third Party Content is not compliant with the existing policies, including by not limited to the Layar Terms and Conditions for Developers and Publishers as amended from time to time, then Layar is entitled to block access thereto for End Users.
