1. GENERAL DISCLAIMER

The information, content, maps, data, tools, measurements, images, publications, services and other materials made available through the HEYIKO website, applications and digital platforms are provided for general informational, technological, educational, planning, visualization and other stated purposes.

HEYIKO Spatial Technologies Limited (“HEYIKO”, “we”, “us” or “our”) makes reasonable efforts to provide useful, reliable and professionally managed information. However, information available through our platforms may be subject to technical limitations, third-party data limitations, changes over time, inaccuracies, omissions or other limitations.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in a written agreement, information available through HEYIKO should not be treated as a guarantee of accuracy, completeness, legal status, ownership, boundaries, value or suitability for a particular purpose.

2. NOT LEGAL ADVICE

Content published by HEYIKO does not constitute legal advice.

Information concerning:

  • land;
  • property;
  • ownership;
  • boundaries;
  • transactions;
  • planning;
  • development;
  • regulations;
  • contracts;
  • taxation; or
  • other legal matters

should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice from a suitably qualified legal professional or the relevant government authority.

Users should obtain appropriate professional advice before making legally significant decisions.

3. NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR OFFICIAL LAND SURVEYING

Certain HEYIKO tools may enable users to:

  • identify locations;
  • mark points;
  • create polygons;
  • estimate distances;
  • estimate areas;
  • view satellite imagery;
  • visualise land;
  • record locations; or
  • manage spatial information.

Such functionality may provide approximate, indicative or digital measurements, depending on the particular service.

Unless expressly provided under an appropriate professional engagement, these tools do not constitute a substitute for:

  • official cadastral surveying;
  • boundary surveying;
  • land demarcation;
  • beacon establishment;
  • cadastral plan preparation;
  • survey certification;
  • title verification;
  • land registration;
  • subdivision approval;
  • transfer documentation; or
  • other legally recognized land-surveying procedures.

4. APPROXIMATE LAND MEASUREMENTS

Where HEYIKO provides an area, distance or location measurement, the result may depend on:

  • GPS accuracy;
  • device hardware;
  • satellite visibility;
  • map source;
  • imagery resolution;
  • coordinate quality;
  • positioning conditions;
  • user placement of points;
  • polygon geometry;
  • software calculations;
  • available geographic data; and
  • other technical factors.

Accordingly, an area or distance displayed by HEYIKO may differ from measurements obtained through official surveying equipment or authorized professional procedures.

Users should not rely solely on a HEYIKO digital measurement for a legally, financially or technically significant decision.

5. NO DETERMINATION OF PROPERTY BOUNDARIES

A line, polygon, point, boundary or other representation displayed on a HEYIKO platform does not automatically establish the legal boundary of a property.

Digital boundaries may be:

  • user-created;
  • approximate;
  • derived from imagery;
  • based on available spatial datasets;
  • illustrative; or
  • subject to technical limitations.

The presence of a boundary or polygon on a HEYIKO platform does not constitute a legal determination of ownership or boundary rights.

6. NO GUARANTEE OF LAND OWNERSHIP

Information displayed concerning land or property does not, by itself, constitute proof of ownership.

HEYIKO does not guarantee that a person identified as a landowner, seller, agent or property representative has legal ownership or authority over the property unless such verification is expressly included in a separately contracted service.

Users should conduct appropriate due diligence before purchasing, selling, leasing, developing or otherwise dealing with land or property.

7. PROPERTY AND LAND INFORMATION

HEYIKO may publish or facilitate access to information relating to:

  • land;
  • plots;
  • properties;
  • locations;
  • buildings;
  • developments;
  • agricultural land;
  • institutions;
  • businesses; and
  • other geographic features.

Such information may originate from HEYIKO, users, partners, public sources, third-party datasets or other lawful sources.

Information may become outdated or may contain errors or omissions.

Users should verify material information with appropriate authorities, owners, professionals or original data sources before relying upon it.

8. SATELLITE IMAGERY DISCLAIMER

HEYIKO may use or display satellite imagery or other remote-sensing imagery.

Satellite imagery:

  • may not be real-time;
  • may have different acquisition dates;
  • may have varying resolution;
  • may contain cloud cover or other limitations;
  • may not accurately represent current ground conditions;
  • may contain positional or processing limitations; and
  • may be subject to third-party licensing and usage restrictions.

Accordingly, satellite imagery should not automatically be treated as a current or legally authoritative representation of a property or physical feature.

9. MAP DATA DISCLAIMER

Digital maps are representations of geographic reality and are not necessarily exact representations of every physical or legal feature.

Maps may contain:

  • positional errors;
  • missing information;
  • outdated roads;
  • outdated buildings;
  • incorrect names;
  • incomplete administrative boundaries;
  • outdated land-use information; or
  • other discrepancies.

Users should independently verify important information before relying upon it for material decisions.

10. LOCATION AND GPS ACCURACY

GPS and location technologies do not provide identical accuracy under all circumstances.

Accuracy may be affected by:

  • buildings;
  • trees;
  • terrain;
  • atmospheric conditions;
  • satellite geometry;
  • device quality;
  • signal obstruction;
  • interference;
  • operating-system settings;
  • network conditions; and
  • other environmental or technical factors.

A location shown on a HEYIKO platform should therefore not automatically be interpreted as an exact physical position.

11. NO REAL-TIME GUARANTEE

Unless expressly stated otherwise, HEYIKO does not guarantee that maps, imagery, location information, property information, environmental information or other spatial content is updated in real time.

A displayed feature may have changed after the underlying data was collected.

12. AGRICULTURAL INFORMATION

Where HEYIKO provides agricultural or land-use information, including information through services such as HEYIKO Agri, such information may be intended to support planning, visualization, monitoring or general decision-making.

Such information should not automatically be interpreted as:

  • agronomic advice;
  • crop-specific professional advice;
  • guaranteed yield prediction;
  • agricultural certification;
  • environmental certification; or
  • a substitute for advice from a qualified agricultural professional.

13. ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE INFORMATION

Where HEYIKO provides environmental, climate or geographic information, including through services such as HEYIKO Climate, information may be based on models, datasets, remote sensing, historical information or third-party sources.

Environmental and climate information may contain uncertainty and should be interpreted within the limitations of the relevant data and methodology.

Where a decision has regulatory, safety, environmental or financial consequences, users should consult appropriate professionals and authoritative sources.

14. PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION

HEYIKO may provide information, visualizations or spatial tools that can assist users in understanding land, development areas, locations or spatial relationships.

Such information does not automatically constitute:

  • planning approval;
  • development permission;
  • building approval;
  • environmental approval;
  • zoning certification;
  • subdivision approval;
  • infrastructure approval; or
  • any other government or regulatory authorization.

Users remain responsible for obtaining all required approvals, licenses, permits and professional services.

15. VISUALISATIONS AND DIGITAL MODELS

HEYIKO may provide maps, 2D visualizations, 3D models, illustrations, satellite imagery, renderings or other representations.

Such representations may be illustrative or generated from available data.

A visual representation does not necessarily guarantee that the depicted feature, building, boundary, dimension, terrain or development exists exactly as displayed in the physical world.

16. THIRD-PARTY DATA

HEYIKO may use or integrate information obtained from third parties, including:

  • mapping providers;
  • satellite imagery providers;
  • government institutions;
  • public databases;
  • technology providers;
  • data providers;
  • partners;
  • customers; and
  • other lawful sources.

HEYIKO may not control the accuracy, completeness, availability or update frequency of third-party information.

Where appropriate, users should verify material information with the original or authoritative source.

17. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND PLATFORMS

HEYIKO may integrate third-party technologies and services.

These may include:

  • mapping services;
  • satellite imagery;
  • cloud infrastructure;
  • analytics;
  • authentication;
  • payment services;
  • communication services;
  • social-media services; and
  • other technology platforms.

Third-party services may be governed by their own terms, licences, privacy policies and limitations.

HEYIKO is not responsible for changes, interruptions or limitations arising solely from third-party services, except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

18. USER-GENERATED INFORMATION

HEYIKO may allow users to submit or create:

  • maps;
  • coordinates;
  • polygons;
  • property information;
  • photographs;
  • project information;

  • other content.

User-generated information does not necessarily represent the views, findings or verification of HEYIKO.

Users are responsible for ensuring that information they submit is accurate, lawful and appropriately authorized.

19. NO GUARANTEE OF USER-SUBMITTED PROPERTY INFORMATION

Where a user submits property or land information, the publication or storage of that information by HEYIKO does not necessarily mean that HEYIKO has independently verified:

  • ownership;
  • title;
  • boundaries;
  • seller identity;
  • property availability;
  • property value;
  • land-use status;
  • encumbrances;
  • disputes; or
  • legal authority to transact.

Users should perform appropriate due diligence before entering into a transaction.

20. CONTENT ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS

HEYIKO aims to maintain high standards of content quality and management.

Nevertheless, information may occasionally contain:

  • typographical errors;
  • outdated information;
  • incomplete information;
  • technical errors;
  • data-source limitations;
  • changes that occurred after publication; or
  • other inaccuracies.

HEYIKO reserves the right to correct, update, modify, remove or archive content when appropriate.

21. NO PROFESSIONAL RELIANCE WITHOUT ENGAGEMENT
