4. Account
4.1 Account Responsibilities

To subscribe to an Offering, You may need an account. You are responsible for anyone who obtains, accesses or uses Offerings through You or Your account (including Your Authorized Users). This means (among other things) that You are responsible for Your Authorized Users’ compliance with these Terms, including their use of their accounts, as though each of the Authorized Users is You. In certain cases, Your Authorized Users may be required to set up individual accounts or otherwise agree to applicable terms in order to obtain, access or use Offerings, but that requirement does not affect Your responsibility for Your Authorized Users.

You are also responsible for the security of Your account and all activity associated with Your account. This means (among other things) that You (i) will ensure that only Your Authorized Users use Offerings associated with Your account, and (ii) will secure and not share user IDs or passwords (except with authorized account administrators). If You suspect unauthorized use of Your account, please contact https://www.autodesk.com/trust/contact-us.

You will ensure that all Your account information (including any information that You or Your Authorized Users provide in connection with Your registration for any Offering) is, and continues to be, true and complete.

Not all modes of support will be available in every region or every language.
7.3 Length of subscription

Your subscription to an Offering will be for a fixed term of limited length, the length of which should be indicated at the time of purchase and should be reflected on Your confirmation of purchase or other Offering Identification. If no length is indicated, please contact us at https://knowledge.autodesk.com/contact-support and we will determine and confirm the length of Your subscription term.
7.4 Renewal of subscription

At the end of Your subscription period for an Offering, You may be able to renew Your subscription to the extent, and on the same terms, that Autodesk then generally makes commercially available to subscribers of such Offering in the same geography. Certain subscriptions may have the option of automatically renewing. If you would like to cancel any such automatic renewal, please see Cancelling Automatic Renewal for Subscriptions.
7.5 Switched subscriptions

If Your subscription is replaced by a successor or substitute subscription, the new subscription may be considered a Switched Subscription and, if so, will be subject to the Switched Subscription Terms.
8. Scope, Prior Terms, Maintenance Terms

These Terms do not apply to (i) subscriptions purchased before May 18, 2018, unless renewed on or after that date, or (ii) terms on which Autodesk has agreed to provide maintenance for Software that was previously licensed to You on a perpetual basis. Rather, those subscriptions and maintenance arrangements continue to be subject to their existing terms, which are available at Prior Subscription Terms, Maintenance Terms.
9. Software

If You order Software for delivery, or You order an Offering that includes Software (for example, if a Web Service Offering requires client Software), the Software will at Autodesk’s discretion be made available for download through Your account or other electronic means or delivered to You by Autodesk or an Autodesk-authorized third party. Additional fees may apply for delivery of physical media or other tangible embodiments of Software. No matter how Software is delivered, Autodesk will not be liable for any losses or other liability incurred by You or others due to late delivery or delivery to an incorrect address.

For any Offering consisting of Software that Autodesk makes available or delivers to You, and subject to compliance with these Terms and all payment obligations, Autodesk grants to You a nonexclusive, non-sublicensable, nontransferable license, for the period of Your subscription, to install and use the Software (and permit Your Authorized Users to install and use the Software) solely (i) in accordance with the Documentation for the Offering and any applicable Special Terms, if any, and (ii) within the scope of Your subscription, including the permitted number, License Type, Territory and other attributes specified for the type and level that You selected when subscribing for the Offering. If Your Offering Identification or other confirmation from Autodesk of Your subscription does not specify one or more of those attributes, the license will be (a) a Trial Version; (b) for You as an individual or, if You are a company or other legal entity, for one named employee; and (c) for use only within the country or jurisdiction where You acquired the Offering. You may not install, access or use (or allow installation of, access to or use of) any Software other than as authorized by such license and these Terms, and any other installation, access or use is unauthorized.

During the period of Your subscription, Autodesk may make available or deliver Updates or Upgrades to Software. All such Updates and Upgrades are subject to the same license and other terms as the Software to which the Updates or Upgrades apply. You are encouraged to promptly install and use all Updates and Upgrades made available to You during the subscription period. If You receive an Update or Upgrade for any Software, You may install and use both the previous version and the new version of the Software for testing and migration purposes for a maximum of 120 days (beginning on the first installation date for the new version), provided that, during such 120-day period, You do not use both versions concurrently for production use. After such 120 days, (i) Your (including Your Authorized Users’) right to access and use such previous version will end, and (ii) You must stop all access to and use of the previous version (including all access and use by Your Authorized Users), uninstall all copies of the previous version, and, at Autodesk’s request, destroy any such copies or return them to Autodesk or the reseller from which You acquired the Offering. For certain Offerings (because of Special Terms for the Offerings or because of exceptions granted by Autodesk under certain circumstances), You may have certain rights to continue using and accessing previous versions after such 120-day period. Such rights, if any, are set forth in the Previous Version Rights (see Subscription Benefits).

For the duration of a subscription, You may make one archival copy of the Software to which You subscribed solely for Your backup and archival purposes.

Any Software (including any Update or Upgrade) that Autodesk makes available or delivers to You is licensed for a limited subscription period, not sold, and You may not transfer or assign the license, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding a contractual prohibition to the contrary or as otherwise expressly permitted by Autodesk in writing. Your subscription to a Web Service does not grant to You a license to the underlying Software used in providing the Web Service.
10. Web Services

If You subscribe to Web Services, Autodesk will provide those Web Services to You for the period of Your subscription, subject to compliance with these Terms and all payment obligations. You may access and use the Web Services solely (i) in accordance with the Documentation for the Offering and any applicable Special Terms, if any, (ii) for Your internal business purposes, in the form made accessible and/or provided by Autodesk, and (iii) within the scope of Your subscription, including the permitted number, Web Services Type, Territory and other attributes specified for the type and level that You selected when subscribing for the Offering. If Your Offering Identification or other subscription confirmation from Autodesk does not specify one or more of those attributes, Your Web Service will be (a) a Trial Version; (b) for You as an individual or, if You are a company or other legal entity, for use by one named employee; and (c) for use only within the country or jurisdiction where You acquired the Offering. You may not access or use (or allow access to or use of) any Web Service other than as authorized by these Terms, and any such access or use is unauthorized.

Autodesk will make the Web Services available to You consistent with the manner in which Autodesk makes such Web Services generally commercially available to users with the same subscription as You (including level, geography and other attributes).

Web Services will be provided using processes and safeguards that are designed to help maintain the security of Your Content. Autodesk from time to time may have external auditors prepare reports for Autodesk subscriber on Autodesk’s adherence to its security controls for certain Autodesk services. You may request from Autodesk a copy of such reports applicable to a Web Service to which You subscribe, subject to Your agreement with Autodesk on non disclosure of and restrictions on use of such reports. Autodesk expects to make available such reports no more frequently than once annually.
11. Access To And Use Of Offerings
11.1 General Access and Use Conditions

Depending on the Offering, You may be required to log into Your account to activate, access or use (or to continue accessing or using) the Offering. Only You, including Your Authorized Users, may access or use an Offering. Access to and use of all Offerings is contingent on (among other things) Your timely payment of all applicable amounts, including any taxes and other fees, with respect to the Offerings and compliance with these Terms.

Some Offerings may cause Your Electronic Devices to automatically connect to the internet (intermittently or on a regular basis)—for example, to validate Your subscription, provide You with access to services (including third-party services) or download and install Updates or Upgrades, all without further notice to You. You agree to such connection and to validation of Your subscription and to the automatic downloading and installation of Updates and Upgrades. For some Offerings, You may be able to adjust Your Update or Upgrade settings (this is not available for other Offerings, including those for which automatic Updates or Upgrades are required for operation or security of the Offering).

Offerings do not include access to the internet or any other network or to any communications services or any hardware, software, storage, security or other resources necessary for accessing or using the Offerings. You and Your other suppliers and service providers are responsible for acquiring all such items and for their reliability, security and performance. Not all Offerings, and not all functions of an Offering (including those described in the Special Terms or Documentation), are available in all locations or languages.
11.2 Autodesk APIs

When You subscribe to an Offering, Autodesk may provide You with access to applications programming interfaces, software development kits, tools, libraries, scripts, sample source code and similar developer material specifically for use of such Offering (collectively, “APIs”). For any such APIs that Autodesk makes available or delivers to You, and subject to compliance with these Terms and all payment obligations, Autodesk grants to You a nonexclusive, non sublicensable, nontransferable license, for the period of Your subscription, to use such APIs only (i) internally in conjunction with and for Your own authorized internal use of the Offering for which the APIs were made available, and (ii) in accordance with any Documentation for the APIs. Some APIs are subject to Special Terms, and Your license to the APIs is subject to those Special Terms. All APIs are confidential and proprietary to Autodesk and may not be distributed or disclosed to any third party or used for any purpose other than as permitted by the Documentation for the APIs and the other requirements of these Terms (and any such other use is unauthorized). If You develop any applications, services, modules or components using all or any portion of the APIs (collectively, “Your Development”), You may use Your Development with third-party software or hardware (including porting Your Development to third-party platforms), but only if You remove from Your Development all elements of the APIs (including any elements based on the APIs) and Your Development (a) does not disclose, make available, incorporate or embody any part of the APIs, and (b) does not incorporate or embody any part of the Offerings or other Autodesk intellectual property. If You wish to use Your Development for any use other than Your internal use with Your Offering (for example, for customers or any users other than You), You will need a separate Developer License.
11.3 Use of Third-Party Material and Services

Autodesk may provide You with content, designs, models, data sets, project information, documents, libraries, audio, links, data, applications and other software, services or similar material of a third party (collectively, “Third-Party Material/Services”) in connection with Offerings. Any such Third-Party Material/Services may be governed by different terms found in such Third-Party Material/Services (for example, in the “About Box” or a .txt file), on a web page specified by Autodesk or in the Special Terms or Documentation for the Offering for which the Third-Party Materials/Services are provided (collectively, “Third-Party Terms”). If there are no Third-Party Terms, Your use must be (i) limited to the same terms as the Offering for which You received the Third-Party Material/Services, and (ii) solely in connection with Your use of such Offering. You take sole responsibility for determining, obtaining and complying with all Third-Party Terms. Autodesk will have no responsibility for, and makes no representations and warranties regarding, (a) any Third-Party Material/Services or Your use of such Third-Party Material/Services, and (b) the Third-Party Terms or Your compliance with such Third-Party Terms.
11.4 Use of Your Content

In order for You to access or use certain Offerings, or for Autodesk to provide You with certain services, You may wish to upload or otherwise share Your Content. Autodesk personnel will not use Your Content except (i) at Your request, or with Your consent—for example, when providing You support, or addressing a technical issue or other request; (ii) in connection with providing and improving Offerings (including maintaining, securing, updating or otherwise modifying Offerings); or (iii) in connection with legal-related obligations, enforcement, investigations or proceedings (for example, in response to a valid subpoena). In general, Autodesk does not screen or review content that is posted to any Offering, website or service or otherwise made available to Autodesk. Autodesk reserves the right, however, to screen and review Your Content, and may block or remove content for any reason, including because it is not in compliance with these Terms (for example, illegal, offensive or phishing-related postings or spam). When You provide or make accessible Your Content, You authorize Autodesk and its designees to use, reproduce, modify, distribute and make available Your Content in connection with providing You with Offerings and allowing Autodesk to fulfill its obligations and as otherwise permitted by these Terms.

You (a) are responsible for all of Your Content and for ensuring that Your Content and its use with any Offering comply with all applicable laws and regulations and these Terms, and (b) warrant that Your Content will not infringe or misappropriate any intellectual property or proprietary rights of any person or violate any applicable laws or regulations. Autodesk recommends that You secure and protect Your Content by using appropriate encryption and security technology. You acknowledge that online services may suffer occasional disruptions or outages, and You may not be able to retrieve Your Content as a result. Autodesk recommends that You regularly backup Your Content to Your own storage. You are at all times responsible for storing and maintaining any such backup copies of Your Content.
11.5 Collaboration and Sharing of Your Content

Some Offerings permit You to collaborate with others, including sharing Your Content or publishing Your Content—for example, to a forum or to other services. If You choose to share or publish Your Content (whether by collaboration on or sharing files with a project, emailing, sharing a link, sharing files with other applications or services, posting in a forum or gallery or otherwise), then others (including, in some cases, the general public) may be able to use, sell, reproduce, modify, distribute, make available, display, transmit and communicate Your Content. Forums and galleries may be public, and submissions are generally public. Once You share or publish Your Content, suspending or terminating access will not delete or inhibit access to any of Your Content that was earlier copied, transferred or otherwise shared or published. If You do not want others to have any such access or any of those rights, do not use the sharing, publishing or other collaboration features of the Offerings and set Your permissions accordingly.

An Offering may feature links to third parties that offer services, software or other materials that complement such Offering. Such links are provided as a convenience to You. Autodesk does not monitor or control what such third parties will do with Your Content. You are responsible for ensuring the appropriate level of access to Your Content by any third party. If You authorize any of Your information or Your Content to be shared with any third party, Autodesk may make available Your information or Your Content to such third party; Autodesk will, however, have no responsibility or liability for the actions of such third party, and all governing terms and conditions, including those regarding privacy, are between You and such third party.
12. Trial Versions

Autodesk may make available or deliver Offerings (or features of an Offering) labelled or offered as “not for resale,” “free,” “evaluation,” “trial,” “pre-release,” “beta” or another similar designation (collectively, “Trial Versions”). You may download, install, access or use Trial Versions only during the period and for the purpose of the trial, as expressly permitted by Autodesk. Except as expressly set forth in the online or other Documentation for the Trial Version or applicable Special Terms, (i) the subscription period for the Trial Version will be limited to 30 days, (ii) Your use will be limited to non-commercial evaluation purposes with no rights to make available or distribute the Trial Version to any third party, and (iii) the use will be only by You as an individual or, if You are a company or other legal entity, by one named employee. Notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms or otherwise, (a) Autodesk makes no commitments with respect to Trial Versions regarding any features, functions, service levels or data and provides no warranties of any kind with respect to Trial Versions, (b) Autodesk may choose not to generally release any Trial Versions or convert any Trial Version into a product offering, and (c) Trial Versions may contain code that is not fully tested, including errors and faults that may cause total data loss or system failure. Subscriptions to Trial Versions do not include Subscription Benefits, and Autodesk reserves the right, without any further notice, to end any Trial Versions at any time.
13. Websites

Separate from its Offerings, Autodesk may provide information on its general websites. You agree to use such Autodesk websites in accordance with our Website Terms of Use.
14. Feedback

You have no obligation to provide Autodesk with ideas for improvement, suggestions or other feedback (collectively, “Feedback”), whether in connection with a Trial Version or otherwise, unless otherwise specified in the Special Terms for an Offering. If, however, You provide any Feedback, You hereby grant to Autodesk a non-exclusive, transferable, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license (with rights to sublicense) to make, use, sell, offer to sell, reproduce, modify, distribute, make available, publicly display and perform, disclose and otherwise exploit the Feedback and any Offerings using the Feedback.
15. Limitations On Use
15.1 Offerings are tools

The Offerings are tools and are intended only to assist You with Your design, analysis, simulation, estimation, testing and other activities and are not a substitute for Your professional judgment or Your own independent design, analysis, simulation, estimation, testing or other activities, including those with respect to product stress, safety and utility. Due to the large variety of potential applications for the Offerings, they have not been designed or tested for any specific uses, and it is Your responsibility to determine whether the use of an Offering is appropriate for the purposes You pursue. Autodesk will not be responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the results obtained through use of the Offerings, including any Output. You are responsible for Your (including Your Authorized Users’) use of the Offerings and any results produced by the Offerings, including any Output. Your responsibilities include, without limitation, the determination of appropriate uses for the Offerings and the selection of the Offerings and other computer programs and materials to help achieve Your intended results. You are also responsible for establishing the adequacy of independent procedures for testing the reliability, accuracy, completeness, compliance with applicable legal requirements, and other characteristics of any Output, including, without limitation, all items designed with the assistance of the Offerings. You further acknowledge that the Offerings and Output may not achieve the results You desire within Your design, analysis, simulation, estimation, testing and other constraints.
15.2 Offerings are not designed for storage of sensitive personal information

The data storage functionality associated with Offerings is NOT suitable for the storage of Social Security numbers, credit or debit card numbers, financial account numbers, driver’s license numbers, medical information or health insurance information; data about personal characteristics or other personal information, such as race or ethnic origin, religion or philosophical beliefs, political affiliation or opinions, genetic or biometric data, sexual orientation or trade union membership; or other information that may expose, or pose a risk of harm to, an individual if improperly disclosed or used (collectively, “Sensitive Personal Information”). Except as expressly required by Autodesk (for example, a credit card number used to purchase a subscription), You will not upload or otherwise make available to Autodesk any Sensitive Personal Information, including any files containing Sensitive Personal Information, in connection with Your use of any Offering.
15.3 Acceptable use of offerings

You will access and use (and permit access to and use of) Offerings only in conformance with (and will comply with) all applicable laws. Except as expressly authorized by these Terms, including any Additional Agreement or Special Terms, or as otherwise expressly permitted in writing by Autodesk, You will not:

    Reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, port or create derivative works of all or any portion of any Offering, except as expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding a contractual prohibition to the contrary;
    Sublicense, distribute, transmit, sell, lease, rent, loan or otherwise make available all or any portion of any Offering (including any functionality of any Offering) to a third party or provide any functionality of any Offering to a third party (whether on a service bureau basis or otherwise); and
    Access or use any Offering on or through the internet (other than as made available by Autodesk through the internet), any wide-area network (WAN) or any other non-local network; on or through any virtual private network (VPN); or on or through any application virtualization technology, remoting virtualization technology, web-hosting, timesharing, software as a service, platform as a service, infrastructure as a service, cloud or other web-based, hosted or similar service.

In addition, You will not:

    Remove any copyright, trademark, confidentiality or other proprietary rights notice from any Offering, Documentation or related material;
    Remove, disable or otherwise limit the effectiveness of any technical protection used by Autodesk to (i) manage, monitor, control or analyze the installation of, access to, or use of any Offering or (ii) protect Autodesk’s intellectual property rights;

        obscene, indecent, pornographic or otherwise objectionable;
        protected by copyright, trademark, design rights, trade secret rights, right of publicity or privacy, or any other proprietary right, without the express prior written consent of the applicable owner;
        a national or state secret, classified information or any other information or material (including any photograph, drawing, plan or model) that is subject to official confidentiality treatment;
        secret codes, countersigns, crypto-currency, passwords or other similar information;
        advertising, spam, an offer to sell or buy any goods or services, a “chain letter” or any other form of solicitation; or

    Use or access Software made available as part of a Web Service separately from the applicable Web Service (except as may be expressly permitted in writing by Autodesk).

16. Confidentiality

You or Autodesk (as the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose or make available Confidential Information to the other party (as the “Receiving Party”) in connection with these Terms. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care as to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care) and will (i) use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only in connection with Offerings, and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its employees, consultants, contractors, service providers, professional advisors and other individuals who need such access for purposes related to Offerings and who are subject to confidentiality obligations with the Receiving Party no less stringent than those in these Terms. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so. The Receiving Party will give the Disclosing Party prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and take reasonable steps to limit such disclosure. Autodesk may also disclose Your Confidential Information to comply with any governmental or regulatory body request (including subpoenas or court orders), as part of a legal proceeding involving Autodesk, or at Your request. If disclosure is made at Your request, You may be responsible for the costs of compiling and providing access to Your Confidential Information.
17. Autodesk Proprietary Rights

You acknowledge and agree that Autodesk and its licensors and suppliers will have all ownership of and all rights with respect to (i) the Offerings, Documentation, APIs, Metrics and other information or material provided or made available by Autodesk to You and (ii) any copies of the foregoing, or any materials or other information based on, derived from or otherwise using any of the foregoing (including all rights under trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, patents and all other intellectual property or proprietary rights relating to any of the foregoing). The structure and organization, the underlying algorithms and other internals, the protocols, data structures and other externals, and the source code of the Offerings and the APIs constitute proprietary and confidential information of Autodesk, and You will not disclose such information to third parties, or use such information for any purpose other than as required for ordinary-course access to and use of the Offerings as set forth in these Terms, without Autodesk’s prior written consent. Also, You agree not to access or attempt to access the Offerings by any means other than the interface Autodesk provides or authorizes. In addition, You agree not to engage in any decompiling, disassembling or other reverse engineering or otherwise attempting to discover, learn or study the structure or organization, underlying algorithms or other internals, the protocols, data structures or other externals, or the source code of the Offerings or APIs, except as expressly permitted under applicable law notwithstanding a contractual prohibition to the contrary. Autodesk may make available or provide access to other confidential and proprietary information (either marked as such or understood to be such under the circumstances). If You receive such information, You will not disclose it to any third party, or use such information for any purpose other than as required for access to and use of the Offerings as set forth in these Terms, without Autodesk’s prior written consent.

You have only the rights expressly granted to You under these Terms (including any Additional Agreement or Special Terms). All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Autodesk and its licensors and suppliers; Autodesk and its licensors and suppliers expressly disclaim (and You agree not to assert) any other rights.

You agree not to take any action, or to authorize or encourage any third party to take any action (or cooperate with any third party in taking any action), inconsistent with the foregoing.
18. Warranty, Disclaimers, Limitations On Liability
18.1 Limited warranty

Autodesk warrants that, for any paid subscription, as of the date on which the subscribed-for Offering is made available to You and for 90 days thereafter or, if the subscription period is shorter, such shorter period (“Warranty Period”), the Offering will provide the general features and functions described in the end-user Documentation for the Offering. Autodesk’s entire obligation and liability, and Your sole and exclusive remedy, for Autodesk’s breach of this warranty will be for Autodesk, at its option, (i) to attempt reasonably to remedy the breach or (ii) to refund amounts received for the affected subscription and terminate such subscription. You must bring any warranty claim for any Offering within its applicable Warranty Period.
18.2 Disclaimers

EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH IN THE “Limited Warranty” SECTION (Section 18.1) ABOVE, AND ANY EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH AS SUCH IN ANY ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT OR SPECIAL TERMS, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, (i) THE OFFERINGS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” AND (ii) AUTODESK AND ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS MAKE, AND YOU RECEIVE, NO WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, CONDITIONS OR COMMITMENTS OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE OFFERINGS OR ANY OUTPUT, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS IMPLIED BY STATUTE, OR ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS BASED ON A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OF TRADE OR INDUSTRY STANDARDS. Any statements about the Offerings (including any statements about their functionality or performance) or Output, or other communications with You, that are not contained in these Terms or any Additional Agreement or Special Terms are for information purposes only and do not constitute a warranty, representation, condition or other commitment. Without limitation as to the generality of the foregoing, Autodesk does not warrant or otherwise commit that (a) the Offerings or Output, or the access thereto or use thereof, will be available, uninterrupted, error-free, secure, accurate, reliable or complete, (b) the Offerings will meet any particular performance or availability criteria, (c) Your Content will not be lost or damaged or (d) errors will be corrected or any particular support requests will be resolved to meet Your needs. Any reference to “unlimited” access, use, storage or otherwise with respect to an Offering is subject to the technical limitations of the Offering.
18.3 Limitations on liability

Neither Autodesk nor any of its licensors or suppliers will have any liability (directly or indirectly) for any incidental, special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages; loss of profits or revenue; business interruption or loss of use; cost of procurement of substitute goods or services or other cover; failure of or defects in the Output; loss, corruption or deletion of (or failure to delete) data or Your Content; or damages resulting from Force Majeure (in each case, regardless of the legal theory for seeking such damages or other liability). In addition, the aggregate liability of Autodesk and its licensors and suppliers with respect to any Offering or Output thereof will in no event exceed the amount paid or payable by You for the Offering in the one-year period before the events or circumstances giving rise to the liability first occurred.

The limitations on liability in these Terms will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law to any damages or other liability, however caused and regardless of the theory of liability, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability), indemnification, recourse, statute or otherwise, even if Autodesk has been advised of the possibility of the liability and regardless of whether the limited remedies in these Terms fail of their essential purpose.

You acknowledge that the amounts payable for the Offerings are based in part on and reflective of the disclaimers of warranties and limitations on liability in these Terms and that such disclaimers and limitations are an essential element of the bargain between You and Autodesk.

Nothing in these Terms purports to restrict or exclude Autodesk’s liability for (i) death or personal injury caused by Autodesk’s willful intent or gross negligence or (ii) Your damages or losses caused by Autodesk’s fraud.
18.4 Relationship to applicable law

Autodesk does not seek to limit Your warranties, Your other rights and remedies, or the liability of Autodesk for damages or losses to the extent the limits are not permitted by applicable law (such as statutory warranties, conditions, remedies or liabilities that cannot be excluded by applicable law). Nothing in these Terms restricts the effect of warranties, the liability of Autodesk for damages or losses or other terms that cannot be excluded or otherwise modified under applicable law notwithstanding a contractual restriction to the contrary. These Terms give You specific legal rights, and You may also have other legal rights, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For example, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or other rights, so those provisions of these Terms may not apply to You. Some of these legal requirements are described in the "Country/Jurisdiction-Specific Terms" section (Section 23).
19. Indemnity

You will indemnify and hold harmless (and, at Autodesk’s request, defend) Autodesk against any and all losses, liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered or incurred by Autodesk by reason of any claim, suit or proceeding (“Claim”) arising out of or relating to (i) Your Content; (ii) Your (including Your Authorized Users’) use of Offerings, including any Output or other results produced by such use; and (iii) Your (including Your Authorized Users’) breach of these Terms (including any Additional Agreement, any Special Terms or any other applicable terms).
20. Term, Termination, Suspension

These Terms become effective on the first date accepted in accordance with the "Acceptance" section (Section 1) and continue in effect indefinitely unless terminated in accordance with this “Term, Termination, Suspension” section (Section 20).
20.1 Your right to terminate

You may terminate Your subscriptions and these Terms if Autodesk is in material breach of these Terms (including any Additional Agreement, any Special Terms or any other applicable terms) and fails to cure such breach within 30 days after written notice of the breach.
20.2 Autodesk's right to terminate

Autodesk may terminate any or all of Your subscriptions or other Offerings, these Terms and/or Your account, if (i) You have no current paid subscriptions; (ii) You have failed to timely pay any amounts (including fees and taxes) owing with respect to any Offerings or otherwise owing to Autodesk; (iii) You (including any of Your Authorized Users) are in material breach of these Terms (including any Additional Agreement, any Special Terms, or any other applicable terms) and fail to cure such breach within 30 days after written notice of the breach; or (iv) You become subject to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, become insolvent, make an arrangement with or affecting Your creditors (including an assignment for the benefit of creditor) or commence a process of liquidation. These Terms will automatically terminate without further notice or action by Autodesk if You go into liquidation.
20.3 Effect of termination of subscription

Upon expiration or termination of a subscription or other Offering for any reason, Your rights with respect to that Offering, including any related Software license or subscription Benefits, will end. At that time, You will stop all access to and use of the Offering (including all access and use by Your Authorized Users) and uninstall any and all copies of materials related to such Offering (including any related Software, Documentation, APIs or other material from Autodesk). In addition, at Autodesk’s request, You will destroy any such copies or return them to Autodesk or the reseller from which You acquired the Offering. You will retain proof that You returned or destroyed all such copies. In connection with the expiration or termination of a subscription, (i) as a convenience to You for some Web Services, Autodesk will, upon Your written request, provide You with a brief period (for example, 30 days) in which You may retrieve Your Content after expiration or termination of the Web Services, if You are in compliance with these Terms and pay the applicable fees, if any (for example, Autodesk’s then-current professional services fees for any assistance Autodesk provides), and (ii) otherwise, Autodesk may delete, without notice, any or all of Your Content, including backup and other copies thereof. For more information on post-expiration/termination content retrieval, please check with the individual Web Services Offering. This convenience for some Web Services, if available, does not relieve You of responsibility for retaining and securing complete copies of Your Content at all times.
20.4 Effect of termination of terms

Upon any termination of these Terms for any reason, (i) Your account and Your subscriptions and other Offerings, including those of Your Authorized Users, will immediately terminate, (ii) You will cease all access to and use of any Offerings (including all access and use by Your Authorized Users), and (iii) the effects described above with respect to expiration or termination of a subscription or other Offering will apply. Your payment obligations, ownership of Your work (as described in the “You Own Your Work” section (Section 5)), obligations with respect to APIs and Your Development (including those in the “Autodesk APIs” section (Section 11.2)) and indemnity obligations (including those in the “Indemnity” section (Section 19)); the license as to Feedback (in the “Feedback” section (Section 14)); Autodesk’s rights and Your obligations with respect to proprietary rights (including the rights and obligations in the “Autodesk Proprietary Rights” section (Section 17)); the disclaimers and limitations on liability (in the “Limited Warranty, Disclaimers, Limitation on Liability” section (Section 18)); the governing law and dispute resolution provisions (in the “Contracting Autodesk Entity, Governing Law, and Dispute Resolution” section (Section 21.4)); and Your responsibility for anyone who accesses or uses (or obtains) Offerings through You or Your account (including Your Authorized Users) (including the responsibility described in the “Account” section (Section 4)) will survive termination for any reason.
20.5 Autodesk's right to suspend

If Autodesk believes in good faith that Your Content or Your conduct or failure to act (including the conduct or failure of Your Authorized Users) may (i) pose a security risk or otherwise adversely impact Offerings, systems or other users; (ii) constitute or enable tampering with, removing, disabling or otherwise limiting the effectiveness of any technical protections (including any mechanisms for managing, monitoring, controlling or analyzing the installation of, access or, or use of any Offerings or protections of Autodesk’s intellectual property rights); (iii) subject Autodesk, any reseller or any other user to liability; or (iv) not comply with these Terms (including any Additional Agreement, any Special Terms or any other applicable terms), including failure to pay any amounts owing with respect to any Offerings, Autodesk has the right, but not the obligation, to immediately disable or suspend Your access to and use of any Offerings and access to and use of Your Content. Unless Autodesk reasonably determines that immediate action is prudent, Autodesk will seek to notify You of the planned disabling or suspension before it takes effect.
21. Miscellaneous
21.1 Changes to the offerings

Autodesk reserves the right from time to time to (and You acknowledge and agree that Autodesk may) (i) modify or release subsequent versions of an Offering, or may discontinue an Offering and/or provide instead a substitute Offering; (ii) modify or discontinue the Benefits, features and functionality, or supporting services or availability with respect to an Offering, whether generally or in any geographic area or language; or (iii) add or modify license keys, authorizations or other means of controlling access to or use of the Offerings. Autodesk will endeavor to inform You of major changes to the Offerings.
21.2 Changes to terms

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Autodesk reserves the right from time to time to (and You acknowledge that Autodesk may) modify these Terms. Autodesk will endeavor to notify You of any material modification to the Terms that may have a materially adverse effect on You (“Modification Notice”), and You will then have an opportunity to review such modification. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Terms (including any Additional Agreement or Special Terms), if any such modification has a material adverse effect on You and You do not agree to the modification, You may reject the modification by notifying Autodesk of the rejection within 30 days of the Modification Notice. If You reject a modification under these circumstances, (i) Your access to and use of any Offerings affected by the modification will continue to be governed by the terms in effect immediately before the modification (except to the extent the modification was made for security, privacy or legal compliance reasons) until (a) the end of the then-current period for the subscription or other Offering, if applicable, or (b) 180 days after the Modification Notice, whichever is earlier; and (ii) Your rights to such Offerings, including any related subscription Benefits, will then terminate. In the event of such a termination by You, Autodesk (or an applicable reseller) will refund the prorated portion of any prepaid fees applicable to the remaining term of Your subscription for the affected Offerings after the effective date of termination. Such date will be the end of the term of such Offerings. If the subscription is renewed or extended, it will be under the then-current Terms. Notices by You or Autodesk will be provided as set forth below, except that You may also provide Your notice of rejection (within the 30-day period described above) to the email address, or in any other manner, specified in the Modification Notice.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, modifications to the Privacy Statement, Special Terms, Subscription Types, Subscription Benefits or other policies will be handled as described therein.

You acknowledge that Your commitments with respect to the Offerings and Subscription Benefits are not contingent on delivery of future features or functionality (or oral or written statements about future features or functionality).

If You acquired Your subscription in a member country of the European Union or the European Free Trade Association, the applicable “Territory” for such subscription is all the countries of the European Union and the European Free Trade Association.

If Your principal place of business is in (or, if You are an individual, You are resident of) a Member State of the European Union and there are any court proceedings in a Member State between You and a third party relating to the use of an Offering, (i) You will inform Autodesk promptly in writing of such court proceedings, and (ii) You will not serve Autodesk with a third party notice regarding such proceedings unless Autodesk requests in writing that You do so.

(i) The choice of the law of Ireland as governing law will not deprive You of the protections granted to You by provisions of the law of the country where You reside that cannot be derogated from by contract pursuant to the law of such country.

In addition, notwithstanding any limitations on Territory in these Terms, these Terms do not limit cross-border access or use (such as access or use in one Member State of the European Union of Offerings purchased in another Member State of the European Union) that is expressly authorized by applicable law.
23.2 Australia

    Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

In addition to your other rights and remedies under law in relation to the Offerings, Offerings that are legitimately purchased also come with a 90-day limited warranty as set out in these Terms.

DESPITE ANYTHING ELSE IN THESE TERMS, IF ANY OFFERING IS SUBJECT TO THE MANDATORY WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES OF THE COMPETITION AND CONSUMER ACT (CTH) OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW IN AUSTRALIA (THE “LAW”), AND SUCH LAW PERMITS AUTODESK TO LIMIT ITS LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF THESE WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, THEN AUTODESK’S LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF ANY SUCH WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE WILL BE LIMITED AT AUTODESK’S OPTION TO THE REPAIR, REPLACEMENT OR REPERFORMANCE (OR THE COST OF DOING SO) OF THE RELEVANT OFFERING.
