By downloading, installing, or using Excavata ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the App.
Excavata is an archaeological recording application that allows users to capture, manage, and analyse excavation data on mobile and desktop devices. The App is provided as-is for use in archaeological fieldwork and post-excavation processing.
Some features of the App may require you to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to provide accurate and complete information when creating your account.
You agree to use the App only for its intended purpose of archaeological data recording and management. You may not:
You retain full ownership of all data you create, record, or import into the App. Excavata does not claim any rights over your excavation data, photographs, drawings, or other content. You are responsible for maintaining backups of your data.
While we take every reasonable precaution to ensure data integrity, we cannot guarantee against data loss. The App stores data locally on your device, and you are responsible for ensuring adequate backups. We strongly recommend enabling cloud backup or regularly exporting your data.
The App, including its design, code, graphics, and documentation, is the intellectual property of Excavata and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. The App is licensed to you, not sold.
We may update, modify, or discontinue features of the App at any time. We will endeavour to provide notice of significant changes. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of any online services associated with the App.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Excavata and its developers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of revenue, or interruption of fieldwork.
The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the App will be error-free, secure, or available at all times.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the App if you violate these Terms of Use. Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases, but your locally stored data remains on your device.
These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any disputes arising from these terms shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation in the first instance.
We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
