9.     Technical requirements and technical support

Users access the DroneMap digital map application via a web browser or a dedicated mobile application. The web application has been designed and tested for the following web browsers (including the three previous versions):

• Microsoft Edge version 138.0

• Firefox version 139.0

• Google Chrome version 138.0

• Safari version 17.6

The application is fully functional in the above-mentioned web browsers with standard installation, and support for the latest versions of web browsers will be taken into account in regular updates of the web application. The DroneMap digital map will probably also work in other versions or types of web browsers, but in case of any problems, it is not possible to provide technical support and guarantee functionality. It is essential that the browser used supports HTML 5 and CSS 3 standards. In order to work with the application, JavaScript must be enabled and fully functional. For more information, please refer to the documentation for your web browser. The functionality of JavaScript, and thus the entire application, may be affected by personal or corporate network settings or antivirus software. In this case, contact your PC or network administrator for more information. The screens of the DroneMap digital map application are optimized for a resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. Although they are designed to automatically adapt to the user's resolution, especially at lower resolutions, individual objects on the screen may overlap, making the application difficult to use. From a resolution of 1024 x 768, the application automatically switches to mobile display mode.

In the case of the DroneMap digital map mobile application, the current versions of Android and iOS mobile information systems are generally supported, and support for the latest versions of information systems will be taken into account as part of regular updates to the mobile application.

9.1           Technical support for the DroneMap digital map is available via email address: dronemap@ans.cz.

10.  Final provisions

10.1         The Operator reserves the right to change the Terms and Conditions unilaterally at any time. The User will be informed of any changes to the Terms and Conditions via the email address provided by the User in the DroneMap digital map or the next time they access the DroneMap digital map and on the DroneMap digital map website. In such a case, the User with a User Account has the right to reject the change to the Terms and Conditions and terminate the relevant agreement between them and the Operator for this reason with a notice period of 14 days, which shall commence on the day following the sending of the notice to the Operator's address specified in point 7.2 of the Terms and Conditions. On the date of expiry of the notice period, the Operator shall cancel the User Account. If the User with a User Account does not reject the change to the Terms within 14 days of notification of the change to the Terms, they shall be deemed to have agreed to the new Terms. A User without a User Account expresses their consent to the amended Terms and Conditions at the moment of first use of the DroneMap digital map after such a notified change.

10.2         The Terms and Conditions shall become effective as of August 1, 2025.
