In such cases, if you disagree with these changes, you may stop using Geometa Services, and we are available to discuss any necessary next steps.
Your access to Geometa Services is personal and non-transferable, meaning you cannot give, sell, lend, gift, assign, sub-license, or transfer it to others.

Some Geometa Services have specific system or connectivity requirements, which are your responsibility to meet before use. For security, Geometa may utilize anti-cheat or background software to enforce these terms. We may also periodically update Geometa Services, which could render older or outdated versions obsolete. When feasible, we will provide advance notice if certain devices/platforms are no longer supported.
Some Geometa Services may be provided before full commercial release for testing and feedback purposes. These versions may include bugs, feature changes, and may require progress resets. Additional requirements may also be applied and will be communicated as needed.
