These Terms govern all drone survey, LiDAR, photogrammetry, GPS/RTK, mobile mapping and geospatial consulting services (“Services”) provided by MKA Mesh Systems Ltd (“MKA”) to clients (“you”). By accepting a quotation or engaging our Services, you agree to these Terms in full.

01Definitions

• Proposal: a written quotation specifying scope, deliverables, timeline and price.
• Project: the survey work described in an accepted Proposal.
• Deliverables: the data, models, maps, reports and files produced.
• Mobilisation: dispatching MKA crew and equipment to site.
• Force Majeure: events outside reasonable control — weather, ANAC airspace restrictions, civil unrest, acts of God, power outages.

02Quotations & Acceptance

• Proposals are valid for 30 days from issue.
• A Project is accepted on written confirmation (email suffices) and payment of the deposit in clause 03.
• Scope changes after acceptance must be agreed in writing and may revise price and timeline.
• MKA may decline or withdraw a Proposal any time before written acceptance.

03Payment Terms

• MKA will not mobilise until the deposit clears; Deliverables are released on final payment.
• Overdue invoices attract interest of 2% per month from the due date.
• Prices are in XAF unless stated; international clients may be invoiced in USD or EUR by agreement. Prices exclude applicable taxes unless stated.

04Client Obligations

• Provide accurate site data, access permissions and landowner/authority consents to enter and fly over the site.
• Ensure the site is safe for crew and equipment.
• Notify stakeholders of UAV operations where required.
• Provide a competent site contact if the scope requires it.
• Disclose underground utilities, structures or hazards affecting ground-control placement.

MKA is not liable for delays, extra cost or reduced data quality caused by failure to meet these obligations.

05Accuracy & Technical Standards

Stated accuracies assume favourable weather, adequate satellite geometry and client-supplied GCPs where applicable. MKA is not liable for degradation from conditions outside our control (signal interference, vegetation density, inaccurate client GCPs).

06Deliverables

• Formats (LAS/LAZ, GeoTIFF, DXF, DWG, PDF report, OBJ, PLY) are specified in the Proposal.
• Supplied via secure cloud link or physical media as agreed.
• Notify any material deficiency within 14 days of delivery; afterwards Deliverables are deemed accepted.
• Deficiencies caused by MKA are corrected at no cost; those caused by changed requirements or incorrect client information may incur fees.

07Schedule, Delays & Force Majeure

• Timelines are estimates from the confirmed mobilisation date, subject to weather and airspace.
• We will not fly in conditions breaching our Health & Safety Policy (wind > 15 m/s, precipitation, visibility < 5 km).
• Weather delays are rescheduled at no extra cost; client-caused delays may add mobilisation charges.
• If a Force Majeure event continues beyond 30 days, either party may terminate with no further liability, save payment for work completed.

08Intellectual Property & Confidentiality

• On full payment, you own the Deliverables outright for any lawful purpose.
• MKA retains ownership of its methods, workflows, software, scripts and know-how.
• MKA may use anonymised imagery (without identifying client or site) for portfolio and marketing, unless you request confidentiality in writing.
• Both parties keep proprietary information confidential for 3 years after the contract ends.

09Liability

• MKA’s total liability shall not exceed 100% of the project value paid.
• MKA is not liable for loss of profit, business, or indirect/consequential losses.
• Nothing limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

10Termination & Governing Law

• Either party may terminate for material breach unremedied within 14 days of notice, or on insolvency.
• On termination you pay for work completed; the mobilisation deposit is non-refundable once Mobilisation has occurred.
• These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Cameroon.
• Disputes go first to good-faith negotiation (30 days), then to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Douala Commercial Court. International clients may opt for ICC arbitration by agreement.
