For Purchases in the United States of America
Last Updated 4 August 2017
Your online purchase transaction (“Transaction”) is subject to the terms and conditions set out below which create a contract (the "Agreement") between you and by Autodesk, Inc, a Delaware corporation having its principal place of business at 111 McInnis Parkway, San Rafael, California 94903, USA ("Autodesk") governing that Transaction. Read these terms and conditions carefully.
By clicking the button or mechanism designed to acknowledge agreement to these terms and conditions in the Autodesk online cart through which you place your Transaction order (the “Online Cart”), you (a) are indicating that you have read these terms and conditions, understand them, and agree to be legally bound to them, on behalf of the company or other legal entity for which you are acting (for example, as an employee) (“Company”) or if there is no Company, on behalf of yourself as an individual; and (B) you represent and warrant that you have the right, power and authority to act on behalf of and bind your Company (if any) or yourself (if there is no such entity).
Whenever you place a Transaction order through the Autodesk Online Cart the version of these terms and conditions in effect on the date you place that order shall govern that Transaction. These terms and conditions may change from time to time, so review them upon submission of each order, even if you have reviewed them before. 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.
Note that your use of the products, services and/or subscriptions you purchase are subject to additional Terms of Use (as defined below).
1.1 By clicking on the “Submit Order”, “Buy” or similarly termed button you are placing a Transaction order online to purchase products, services and/or subscriptions from Autodesk subject to these terms and conditions. By clicking on the “Buy” button you are warranting and representing that you are at least of the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence.
1.2 By submitting your information to Autodesk in relation to your Transaction order, you consent to such information being processed to fulfill your Transaction order and in accordance with Autodesk’s Privacy Statement. The Autodesk Privacy Statement is incorporated by reference into and is made a part of these terms and conditions, and can be viewed here Privacy Statement.
1.3 A Transaction order submitted by you constitutes an irrevocable offer by you to Autodesk to purchase the products and/or services and/or subscriptions named in the Transaction order subject to these terms and conditions at the price quoted in the Online Cart for those products and/or services and/or subscriptions, 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. 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, you otherwise fail to make a payment when due, 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, any other agreement you may have with us, failure to make payment, or by virtue of applicable law or otherwise, (ii) are otherwise in breach of these terms and conditions, and/or any other agreement you may have with us, 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.
1.6 Without limiting the generality of any other section of this Agreement, Autodesk reserves the right to limit or refuse any Transaction order you place with us. Further, we reserve the right to verify the validity of all Transaction orders and/or cancel any Transaction orders if we find evidence of fraud, tampering and/or any other violation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person or per order. These restrictions may include Transaction orders placed by or under the same account, the same credit card, and/or Transaction orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address.
2.1 The price for the products, services and/or subscriptions you order, and any additional charges applicable to your Transaction order, will be quoted to you in the Online Cart applicable to those products, services and/or subscriptions and will also be indicated on your order confirmation/receipt. These are the prices and charges that will be charged to your credit card or other accepted payment method.
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/or (2) suspend your access to the BIM 360 services without a refund until such difference in price has been paid.
3.1 All prices quoted and amounts payable by you are exclusive of any tax, levy or similar governmental charge that may be assessed by any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, any federal, state, provincial/territorial or local sales, excise, use or goods and services taxes, or the equivalent, whether based on the delivery, possession or use of the products, services or subscriptions, or otherwise ("Taxes") except for net income, net worth or franchise taxes assessed on Autodesk. Any such Taxes to be collected by Autodesk shall be your responsibility, and shall appear as a separate item on your order confirmation/receipt (unless Autodesk receives a valid tax exemption certificate from you prior to processing your Transaction order).
4.1 The Payment methods recognized by Autodesk are listed in the Online Cart. Only payment methods recognized by Autodesk will be accepted by Autodesk. Autodesk does not offer any credit terms. If you elect to use the services of a third party payment or billing provider in connection with your purchase from us, and provided Autodesk accepts payments from such third party provider on your behalf, your use of such services will be subject to the third party provider’s own terms and conditions. You may be required to create an account with such third party provider and/or provide that third party provider with your bank account or credit/debit card details. Autodesk is not responsible for, and you agree to hold us harmless from and against, any liability resulting from the acts or omissions of any third party payment or billing provider. Autodesk reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to change the permitted methods of payment, including without limitation, the credit cards and/or other types of payment options we are able to accept, at any time.
4.2 Payment shall be made by the payment method selected in your Transaction order. Autodesk will charge credit, debit cards, or other permitted payment method on fulfilling your products and/or services and/or subscriptions to you. Autodesk reserves the right to verify and/or authorize credit or debit card payments prior to acceptance of your Transaction order. Once your Transaction order has been accepted Autodesk will send you an order confirmation/receipt confirming your purchase and the amount that has been charged to you.
5.1 All references in these terms and conditions to the sale, selling, quote or purchase of “products” which are software programs shall mean the sale of the applicable end user license to use with respect to software programs. Products, services and subscriptions purchased are subject to additional terms in the applicable Software License Agreement, Subscription Terms and Conditions or Terms of Service that accompany, or are otherwise designated by Autodesk as governing the use of and/or access to, those products and/or services (“Terms of Use”).

6.1 Digital or software products, services and/or subscriptions purchased by you will be made available to you for electronic download and/or access via the Autodesk Account associated with your Transaction order or via another website or link designated by Autodesk, and (where applicable) a valid corresponding serial number for those products, services and/or subscriptions will be sent to the email address provided by you with your Transaction order or associated with your Autodesk Account. Applicable Terms of Use may contain restrictions on where the products, services and/or subscriptions may be accessed and used. Autodesk will not make any products and/or services and/or subscriptions available for electronic download or access via an address outside the United States of America.
6.2 Prices quoted are exclusive of all applicable freight, insurance, and other shipping expenses, as well as any special packing expense, and all duties and similar charges (“Shipping Costs”) that may be assessed on your Transaction. All such Shipping Costs shall be your responsibility, and shall appear as a separate item on your order confirmation/receipt.
6.3 Any physical products purchased by you shall be delivered to you using post mail or our designated carrier, to the address (“Your Address”) provided by you in your Transaction order or listed in your Autodesk Account. Purchases will only be shipped to a valid mailing address in the United States (as determined by Autodesk in its sole and absolute discretion). However, note that we may not be able to ship to all valid addresses and, in such circumstances, we reserve the right in our sole and absolute discretion to cancel your Transaction order. In the event we are not able to ship to the shipping address you provide, we will notify you, your Transaction order will be cancelled, and you will receive a refund in respect of your Transaction order (unless you are able to provide an alternate eligible shipping address). We reserve the right not to offer expedited or other forms of shipping.
Unless otherwise instructed in writing by you, Autodesk shall select and instruct the carrier as to these agreed terms. Autodesk will use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize delivery delays; however, your sole remedy if any scheduled delivery is delayed for more than thirty (30) days will be to cancel this Agreement in writing, without further liability to either party. With respect to shipment of products within the United States, Autodesk shall ship products to fulfill your Transaction CIF (Incoterms 2010) to Your Address. Autodesk will not ship any products and/or services and/or subscriptions to an address outside the United States of America.

7.2 For services or subscriptions of particular length initial terms (e.g. annual length terms), Autodesk will send you at least one email to remind you of each upcoming renewal of that service or subscription. Further, in the case of all/any services or subscriptions Autodesk will post a confirmation to your Autodesk Account each time your service or subscription is automatically renewed.
