Good but I dislike the long-ish part about the liability. I understand it is all for the benefit of the mapper but it does sound differently. It is as if you are about to give blood and they give you one page to sign that lists all the circumstances under which they guarantee not so sue you - kinda leaves you with the feeling "oh, I hadn't thought of that... how many other circumstances are not listed here under which they WILL sue me?" I'll heap a ton of praise on you if you manage to express section 5 in 40 words or less. What happens if someone, with malicious intent, deletes lots of data or uploads things that cause trouble (e.g. upload Teleatlas data, then tip off Teleatlas to make trouble). Do we reserve the right to sue them for damages, and if so, would this agreement be the place to hint at that?
