DE Africa Sandbox Terms and Conditions

These are the terms and conditions (« Terms of Use ») of your use of the Digital Earth Africa (DE Africa) Sandbox. When you create a DE Africa Sandbox account or use the DE Africa Sandbox, you agree to these terms.

The DE Africa Sandbox is part of the DE Africa suite of analysis tools, provided to you by Geoscience Australia. These Terms of Use therefore constitute an agreement between you and Geoscience Australia.

The DE Africa Sandbox provides users opportunities to try out DE Africa Open Data Cube interface, experiment with DE Africa’s Earth Observation datasets and develop proof-of-concept applications. It is not developed as a production environment and therefore is a volatile space that we are actively working with our users to improve, so please submit your feedback on your user experience to Helpdesk@digitalearthafrica.org.

  2. You can close your account at any time by emailing the DE Africa team (Helpdesk@digitalearthafrica.org).
