2. Eligible Sites

This Agreement is available to Institutions of Higher and Further Education, and Research Councils in the United Kingdom and Ireland, Associated Sites and SURFdiensten.

3. Background Detail / Community Evaluation

In 1999 an approach by PCI Geomatics was made to Chest proposing an Agreement for PCI's range of geomatics software products. PCI Geomatics already had a significant number of clients in Higher Education and Research in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Chest received advice from GIS contacts within the Community and was encouraged to negotiate an all-encompassing site licence Agreement. An Agreement was reached which commenced in 1999 and expired in 2004. It was a welcome addition to our portfolio of GIS-related software. This is now the 2nd renewal of this Agreement for the period to September 2010.

4. Products Covered

The Agreement covers all Geomatica modules produced by PCI Geomatics; those excluded are listed below. The excluded modules can be purchased at extra cost by any Site direct from PCI. Includes one set of media, documentation and hardware devices. Other products may be offered during the lifetime of the Agreement. The Agreement includes all new software versions or upgrades, system releases and technical support on all products/platforms covered by the Agreement through a toll-free number and e-mail at support@pcigeomatics.com via one or two nominated contacts at each site. New platforms will be available within the charges if and when commercially available from PCI Geomatics.

For each subsequent year, Sites will be invoiced three months in advance of the anniversary date of the Agreement (invoice date: 23 June ), the final payment to cover the period to 22 September 2010.

There is no prorata charging for Sites that become licensed partway through a year.

All payments must be made to "Eduserv" within 30 calendar days of the date of invoice.

You are advised that because of the requirement for Eduserv to collect monies due before the anniversary date two charges may fall initially into one academic accounting year.

19. Method of Delivery of Product

On receipt of the completed Licence (Schedule 4) [2 copies], Chest will verify eligibility to participate, and will forward the paperwork to PCI Geomatics. The master copies of media and documentation for all the products offered, to run on the platforms ordered, will then be delivered to the Licensed Site, within 30 days, by PCI Geomatics.

The products are currently distributed on the following CD-ROMs:

Geomatica

1 CD-ROM*

* There are a total of three CD-ROMs for these products, each containing a number of platforms. Sites will be provided with the CD-ROM(s) that contain the platform(s) ordered.

Each site that orders the Windows versions will also be provided with one hardlock (see "7. Requirements").

The installation CD-ROM(s) can be copied if required for distribution purposes, and additional media and documentation sets can be purchased from PCI Geomatics for £90 + VAT per set. This charge may vary during the lifetime of this Agreement.
