Terms of Service

By accessing or using this website, downloading materials from it, or submitting an inquiry, you accept these Terms of Service. If you use the website on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to accept these Terms on its behalf.

These Terms take effect from the last-updated date shown on this page. Where these Terms conflict with a written contract or order signed between you and AIRSAT, the signed contract prevails.

“AIRSAT” / “we” means AIRSAT Technology Group Co., Ltd. and its successors. “Website” means www.zocn.net.cn and www.airsatglobal.com. “Data Products” means satellite imagery and derived products at any processing level, together with related documentation. “Deliverables” means the Data Products and results actually supplied under an order. “User” / “Customer” means any visitor or contracting party. “Aurora Program” means our open science and training initiative. “Confidential Information” means non-public information disclosed by either party in connection with cooperation.

These terms have the same meaning as in our commercial contracts wherever the same wording appears.

You may browse public pages, download publicly offered materials, submit inquiries, and apply to the Aurora Program.

You must not: scrape or crawl the website without authorisation; download imagery in bulk beyond the scope of an order; circumvent access controls or trial limits; reverse-engineer the website or services; upload malicious code or interfere with the services; misrepresent your identity; or use data in violation of export-control, sanctions or other applicable law.

We may suspend or terminate access for violations and reserve the right to pursue legal remedies.

The website content — text, layout, source code, trademarks, the AIRSAT logo, photography and satellite imagery — is owned by AIRSAT or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property law.

You may quote or reprint website content only with attribution to the source, without modification, and without implying partnership or endorsement. Satellite imagery may not be used as, or as part of, a trademark or in any manner likely to cause confusion as to its origin.

The licence for any Data Products is governed by the contract or order signed for that purchase. Unless separately licensed in writing, the licence is non-exclusive and non-transferable, limited to the product level, territory and term stated in the order, and for your own internal use.

Redistribution, re-licensing to third parties, and the use of imagery to train AI models require separate written authorisation. Publication of imagery (academic papers, press releases, social media) is subject to the attribution and scope rules of the applicable contract.

Data Products may not be used for military or weapons purposes, or in any manner that violates human rights or applicable law. On expiry of the licence, Deliverables in your possession must be returned or destroyed as the contract requires. Where a government or industry client is subject to special regulatory requirements (surveying and mapping qualifications, map review numbers, confidentiality), those requirements apply as agreed in the contract.

Unless stated otherwise, quotations are valid for 30 days. An order becomes effective upon our written confirmation or the signing of a contract. Prices, currency, taxes and duties, payment terms and invoicing follow the quotation or contract; taxes and duties are borne by the Customer unless otherwise stated. Overdue amounts accrue interest as specified in the contract.

Order changes and cancellations, delivery methods and timelines (cloud download, SFTP or physical media) and the consequences of delivery delays are governed by the applicable contract.

Satellite data and related services are subject to the export-control laws of the People’s Republic of China, including the Export Control Law and regulations governing remote-sensing data, and to applicable international sanctions regimes (United Nations, European Union, US OFAC) and, where applicable, the US EAR and ITAR.

The Customer shall declare the end user and end use, shall not resell or divert products to sanctioned countries, entities or persons, and shall provide an End-User Certificate on request. We may decline any order, or terminate an accepted order, where required by these rules.

This website and its public materials are provided “as is”, without warranty of fitness for any particular purpose. Satellite imagery and derived data are subject to imaging conditions (cloud cover, geometric and radiometric accuracy limits); we do not warrant their completeness, accuracy or timeliness beyond the specifications agreed in the applicable contract.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, data loss or business interruption. Our aggregate liability is capped at the fees paid for the service giving rise to the claim, or the amount agreed in the applicable contract.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for personal injury or for intent or gross negligence where such exclusion is prohibited by law.

The Customer shall indemnify and hold AIRSAT harmless from losses, damages and reasonable legal costs (including attorneys’ fees) arising from the Customer’s breach of these Terms, unlawful use of data, or infringement of third-party rights.

We may participate in, and where permitted lead, the defence of any such claim.

This website may contain links to third-party websites. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the content, privacy practices or availability of those sites.

Links do not constitute endorsement. You access third-party sites at your own risk and subject to their own terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China. Disputes arising from or in connection with these Terms shall, failing amicable settlement, be submitted to arbitration — unless the applicable signed contract specifies otherwise — at the Jinan Arbitration Commission in Shandong, China.

These Terms are published in Chinese, English, French, Arabic, Spanish, German and Turkish. The Chinese version prevails; other language versions are provided for reference.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is indicated by the “Last updated” date on this page, and material changes will be announced on this website.

Your continued use of the website after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
