We recommend that you print and keep a copy of these terms and conditions (and any other documents referred to in these terms and conditions) for your reference.

1.3 A Transaction order submitted by you constitutes an irrevocable offer by you to Autodesk to purchase products and/or services and/or subscriptions subject to these terms and conditions at the price quoted in the Online Cart, and is subject to subsequent acceptance and fulfillment by Autodesk, irrespective of whether the button or link you press or activate to submit your Transaction order to Autodesk includes words such as “Buy” or otherwise indicates that it is the final step in completion of your Transaction order.
1.4 You will receive an order confirmation/receipt from Autodesk once your Transaction order has been accepted and sent to be processed for fulfillment. Please note that any such automatic acknowledgement does not constitute a formal acceptance of your Transaction order. Autodesk may cancel your Transaction order or any renewal (as applicable) at any time and for any reason prior to fulfilling your Transaction order or your renewal (as applicable); if this is the case, we will refund any prior payment that you have made for that/those products, services and/or subscriptions.
1.5 If Autodesk is unable to process payment using the payment method you provided with your Transaction order, or if we have reason to believe that you (i) are ineligible to purchase products or services or subscriptions from Autodesk via the Online Cart either as a result of breach of these terms and conditions or by virtue of applicable law or otherwise, (ii) are otherwise in breach of these terms and conditions, or (iii) have engaged in fraud or criminal activity in connection with your use of any products or services or subscriptions, then, without prejudice to any of our other rights, we may do any or all of the following: (a) stop any products or services or subscriptions being fulfilled to you; (b) stop or suspend ongoing access to products or services or subscriptions; or (c) cancel any automatic renewal plan in which you have elected to participate.

2.2 Autodesk BIM 360 Services. If you purchase Autodesk BIM 360 services, the price quoted to you in the Online Cart for those services may be determined by the Project Value or Represented Aggregate Project Value selected by you immediately prior to placing your Transaction order for those services. In the event that the Project Value or Represented Aggregate Project Value selected by you (“Selected Value”) is lower than the actual Project Value or Represented Aggregate Project Value for which you have purchased the Autodesk BIM 360 services (“Actual Value”), Autodesk reserves the right to (1) invoice you for the difference between the Selected Value price and the Actual Value price, and (2) suspend your access to the BIM 360 services without a refund until such difference in price has been paid.
