Third-party Software Licensing and Usage

Last Updated on July 5, 2026

Welcome to Marketeq Digital Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Marketeq," "we," "us," or "our"). This Third-party Software Licensing and Usage document (the "Policy") describes how Marketeq licenses and uses third-party software in connection with its website, digital products, services, and client engagements. Marketeq is committed to using third-party software only in accordance with the applicable license terms and to respecting the rights of software vendors and licensors. This Policy supplements our Intellectual Property Rights Policy and Open Source Software Acknowledgment. If you have any questions regarding this Policy, you may contact us at legal@marketeqdigital.com.

1. Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this Policy is to describe how Marketeq approaches the licensing and use of third-party software. This Policy applies to commercial, proprietary, and open source software licensed from third parties and used by Marketeq in its operations or incorporated into its services and deliverables. It reflects our commitment to complying with software license terms and to managing third-party software responsibly. This Policy should be read together with our other intellectual property policies. It applies across our internal operations and our client-facing work.

2. Compliance with License Terms

Marketeq uses third-party software only in accordance with the terms of the applicable license. We take reasonable steps to understand and comply with the conditions imposed by software licensors, including restrictions on use, copying, distribution, and modification. We respect any usage limits, seat counts, or field-of-use restrictions that apply to licensed software. Where a license requires attribution or the reproduction of notices, we endeavor to comply with those requirements. Our commitment to license compliance reflects our respect for the rights of software vendors and licensors.

3. Licensing in Client Engagements

Where third-party software is used in connection with a client engagement, the applicable license terms may impose obligations on the client as well as on Marketeq. We endeavor to identify significant third-party software incorporated into or required for the use of deliverables and to inform clients of relevant licensing considerations. In some cases, a client may need to obtain its own license for certain third-party software. Marketeq does not grant clients any rights in third-party software beyond those permitted by the applicable license. The treatment of third-party software in a particular engagement is subject to the terms of the applicable client agreement.

4. Prohibited Use

Marketeq does not use, and does not permit the use of, third-party software in a manner that violates the applicable license or infringes upon the rights of the licensor. We do not use unlicensed or pirated software, and we do not circumvent technical protection measures except where expressly permitted. We do not exceed the scope of use authorized by a license or use software in prohibited fields of use. Any use of third-party software that would breach the applicable license is prohibited. We treat license compliance as a matter of both legal obligation and professional integrity.

5. Management of Software Licenses

Marketeq takes reasonable steps to manage its use of third-party software, including maintaining awareness of the licenses applicable to the software it uses. We seek to ensure that our use of licensed software remains within the scope of the applicable license and that renewals or additional licenses are obtained where necessary. We periodically review our software usage as part of our broader governance activities. Effective license management helps us to comply with our obligations and to avoid unauthorized use. We address any identified compliance gaps in a timely manner.

6. Open Source Software

Marketeq uses open source software in accordance with the terms of the applicable open source licenses. Open source licenses may impose obligations such as attribution, the provision of source code, or the application of specific license terms to derivative works. We endeavor to understand and comply with the obligations applicable to the open source software we use. Further information regarding our use of open source software is set out in our Open Source Software Acknowledgment. We respect the terms under which open source software is made available and the rights of its contributors.

7. Third-party Software Warranties

Third-party software is provided subject to the terms and warranties, if any, offered by the applicable licensor. Marketeq does not provide any warranty in respect of third-party software beyond what is expressly agreed and passes through applicable third-party warranties only to the extent permitted by the relevant license. We are not responsible for defects, vulnerabilities, or discontinuation of third-party software by its vendor. Where third-party software is used in a deliverable, the client's recourse in respect of that software may be limited to the terms offered by the third-party licensor. We disclaim liability for third-party software to the extent permitted by applicable law.

8. Changes to This Policy

Marketeq reserves the right to modify or update this Third-party Software Licensing and Usage document at any time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will become effective upon posting the revised Policy, and we encourage you to review it periodically. Continued use of our Services following any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
