WHAT CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL CHANGE WILL BE DETERMINED AT LICENSOR'S SOLE DISCRETION, IN GOOD FAITH AND USING COMMON SENSE AND REASONABLE JUDGMENT. CUSTOMER SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING AND BECOMING FAMILIAR WITH ANY SUCH MODIFICATIONS. USE OF THE SERVICE BY CUSTOMER FOLLOWING SUCH NOTIFICATION CONSTITUTES CUSTOMER'S ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS AS MODIFIED. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO CUSTOMER, CUSTOMER'S SOLE REMEDY AND RECOURSE IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SERVICE.

NOW WHEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual benefits and obligations set forth below, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Access to the Software. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and as long as Subscriber pays all of the fees to Licensor as described hereunder, Licensor grants Subscriber a limited, non-exclusive, right and license, to use the Platform and the software modules set forth in Section 1.1 (the "Software") each for its intended purpose and no other purpose. Section 1.1 may be amended or modified by the mutual agreement of the parties in order to add or remove specific software modules. Upon the mutual agreement of the parties to such an amendment, this Agreement will be considered amended so that "Software" refers to the additional or modified software modules.
   1. Software means collectively, the software and any know-how, processes, methodologies, specifications, designs, inventions, functionality, graphics, techniques, methods, applications, user manuals, online documentation, products or other technology and materials of any kind used by Licensor or its licensors in connection with performance of the Platform or made available by Licensor to Customer.
   2. Use of Platform. Prior to any use of the Platform by Subscriber, a Subscriber employee or authorized contractor (each a "Subscriber User"), each Subscriber User will be required to register with the Platform. During registration, each Subscriber User will need to provide certain basic information, such as name, e-mail address, and identifying information for each individual surveillance camera connected to the Platform (such as, but not limited to IP address, username, and password) as provided by Subscriber through the Platform or made available by Licensor to Customer and updated each time a request for addition or change of service is request to Licensor.
   3. Data Analytics. Subscriber shall identify its organization as well as surveillance camera and network infrastructure properties (collectively the "Subscriber Properties") to Licensor and Licensor shall provide Subscriber with instructions sufficient to enable the Platform to begin to track and analyze camera data associated with the Subscriber Properties and to determine camera health or malfunction. Licensor and Subscriber agree that the camera information and data analytics performed by the Platform in relation to the Subscriber Properties (the "Site Data") shall belong to Subscriber, but Subscriber grants to Licensor a license to use the Site Data during the Term of the Agreement in connection with the Platform and the Software. Moreover, Subscriber grants to Licensor a perpetual, non-terminable license and right to use the Site Data in an aggregated or de-identified form that does not individually identify any Subscriber users or otherwise violate the privacy rights of Subscriber’s users.
   4. No Other Access or Use. Except as expressly provided above, no other right to access to or use the Software or Platform is granted under this Agreement, and Subscriber shall not attempt to access or use the Software or Platform other than for the intended purpose of the Software and Platform. Subscriber shall not reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, or design around the Software or Platform. Subscriber shall not at any time do or omit, or suffer to be done or omitted, any act or thing, which may impair Licensor’s rights in and to the Software or the Platform. Licensor expressly reserves and retains all other rights in and to the Software and Platform not expressly granted herein, beside of distributing the Software and Platform to third parties. Any distribution to third parties requires third party agreement of materially similar agreement to the current Agreement between third party and Licensor. Subscriber shall not acquire and shall not claim any title to the Software or the Platform, and the license granted herein is not intended to be and shall not be construed as an assignment, in part or in whole, of the Software or the Platform.
   5. Ownership. Subscriber recognizes and agrees that the Platform, the Software, and all materials or code furnished or made available to Subscriber by Licensor hereunder, excluding the Site Data, are, as between Subscriber and Licensor, the exclusive property of Licensor and any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret or other intellectual property or proprietary right belongs to Licensor. Subscriber does not acquire any right, title or interest in or to the Platform, the Software or other materials furnished or made available hereunder except the limited and temporary right to access and use them as provided by this Agreement.
2. Confidentiality. Each party acknowledges that by reason of their relationship to the other hereunder, each will have access to certain information and materials concerning the other's business, plans, customers, technology and/or products that is confidential and of substantial value to that party, which value would be impaired if such information were disclosed to third parties (collectively "Confidential Information" of a party); provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not include information that (a) is rightfully known by the recipient at the time of disclosure without any obligation of confidentiality; (b) is lawfully disclosed to the recipient by a third party without confidentiality restrictions; (c) becomes publicly available through no fault of the recipient; or (d) is independently developed by the recipient without access to or use of the discloser's Confidential Information. Each party agrees that, except as necessary to exercise its rights or perform its obligations hereunder, it will not use in any way for its own account or the account of any third party, nor disclose to any third party, any such Confidential Information and shall take every reasonable precaution to protect the confidentiality of such information. All Confidential Information shall be designated as such prior to the time of disclosure or in writing within 30 days of disclosure, or be of a nature which a reasonable person knew or should have known to be confidential. Confidential Information shall include without limitation: (1) license keys or log-in credentials to the Services (2) Licensor pricing, product roadmaps or strategic marketing plans; and (3) non-public materials relating to the Services. The Agreement shall be deemed the Confidential Information of each party. Upon request by either party, the other party shall advise whether or not it considers any particular information or materials to be Confidential Information. In the event of termination of this Agreement for any reason, the terms of this paragraph shall survive, and there shall be no use or disclosure by a party of any Confidential Information of the other party.
3. Fees.
   1. Fees. The specific Software offerings Licensor will provide Subscriber pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable fees for access to and use of the Software are set forth in Section 1.1.
   2. Payment. Subscriber make payments according to the mutually agreed fees and charges for the Service (as may be updated from time-to-time by Licensor by providing written notice Subscriber). Subscriber agrees to provide accurate and current information necessary to allow Licensor to invoice Subscriber during the Term of the Agreement. Subscriber shall be liable for any overdraft fees, bank charges or fines resulting from insufficient funds or exceeding authorized payment levels of the payment method authorized by Subscriber. All payment obligations will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement. Payment is due upon receipt of invoice and shall be provided by means of wire transfer, ACH, check or Zelle as mentioned on the invoice. In the event that the Subscriber fails to make a payment by the due date as specified in this agreement, Subscriber shall be liable to pay a late payment penalty equal to 5% of the outstanding monthly fee or the maximum penalty amount allowed by law, whichever is lower. The late payment penalty shall be calculated on a daily basis from the due date until the outstanding amount is settled. Licensor reserves the right to initiate collection proceedings (the costs of which shall be reimbursed by Subscriber), suspend or terminate the Services, or take any appropriate legal action to recover the outstanding amounts in addition to the late payment penalty.
4. Term and Termination.
   1. Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of twelve (12) months (the "Term") unless terminated earlier as set forth herein. Thereafter, the Agreement will automatically renew for additional twelve (12) month periods unless either party provides notice of non-renewal sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then current term. (The initial Term and any renewal Terms are collectively referred to herein as the "Term").
   2. Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement in the event the other party materially breaches this Agreement and does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days after written notice from the non-breaching party setting forth the nature of the material breach. Except as specified here, termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any other remedies either party may have. Termination shall not affect the parties’ rights and obligations with respect to Services provided prior to the effective date of such termination. Subscriber’s obligation to pay all charges for the Term shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
   3. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Subscriber shall immediately discontinue all use of the Software and the Platform and remove any code from the Subscriber Properties transferring information to the Platform. Thereafter, Subscriber shall have no further right, license or privilege to access, or use the Software or the Platform. No fees will be refunded to Subscriber due to an early termination and Subscriber's payment obligations shall survive Termination of the Agreement.
5. Warranties; Limit of Liability.
   1. Limited Warranties. Licensor and Subscriber each represent, warrant and covenant to the other that: (i) it is in good standing in the state of its organization and qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which it is required to be qualified; (ii) it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement; (iii) the execution and performance by it of its obligations under this Agreement will not constitute a breach of any other agreement or a violation of any ordinance, statute, law, or regulation to which it is a party or by which it is bound;
   2. Availability. Licensor will make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Software and Platform are operational. From time to time, however, and as may be necessary to maintain the proper operation of the Software and Platform, Licensor may disable the Software and/or Platform for repairs, upgrades or routine maintenance ("Downtime"). Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the impact of any Downtime on Subscriber; provided, however, that Licensor shall have no liability for any losses, damages, costs, or expenses arising out of any incident which occurs during Downtime. For the avoidance of doubt, interference with the operation of the Software by third-party software that is not provided by Licensor as part of the Software will not constitute Downtime in violation of this section and Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that such interference is not a breach of this Agreement.
   3. No Reliance Upon the Software. Subscriber shall in no way rely upon the Software or the services provided by Licensor for the safety or security of Subscriber’s business, business premises, employees, contractors, or invitees. Subscriber represents and warrants that it has and will continue to have its own safety and security rules, procedures, and personnel, and retains full responsibility for monitoring and addressing any unsafe, insecure, or hazardous circumstances or situations related to Subscriber’s business.
   4. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. THE SOFTWARE AND PLATFORM IS OFFERED TO SUBSCRIBER "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, GUARANTY, CONDITION, COVENANT OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TIMELINESS, CURRENCY, ACCURACY OR OTHER ATTRIBUTES, OR FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE ARE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMED. LICENSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND THAT THE SOFTWARE AND PLATFORM WILL MEET CUSTOMER'S OR ANY OTHER PERSON'S REQUIREMENTS, OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, ACHIEVE ANY INTENDED RESULT, BE COMPATIBLE OR WORK WITH ANY SOFTWARE, SYSTEM OR OTHER SERVICES, OR BE SECURE, ACCURATE, COMPLETE, FREE OF HARMFUL CODE, OR ERROR FREE. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber specifically acknowledges and agrees that the Software may be prevented from operating from time-to-time by third-parties, and that this third-party interference may reduce or eliminate the effectiveness of the Software. Further, use of the Software by Subscriber may result in third-parties taking adverse actions with regard to Subscriber. Licensor will not be liable for lost revenues, interference with the use or operation of Subscriber Properties, or other damages resulting from third-party interference or adverse actions taken as a result of the use or operation of the Software.
   5. NO LIABILITY. EXCEPT FOR A BREACH PURSUANT TO THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS HEREIN, EACH PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE ACTUAL FEES PAID (OR OTHERWISE DUE AND PAYABLE) BY SUBSCRIBER TO LICENSOR FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE INCIDENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY; WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, LICENSOR SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO SUBSCRIBER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR ENHANCED DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES, LOST DATA, OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE, ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING DOWNTIME, REGARDLESS OF (A) WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE, (B) WHETHER OR NOT SUBSCRIBER WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND (C) THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT OR OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED.
6. Indemnity.
   1. Indemnification by Licensor. Licensor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Subscriber from and against any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or resulting from any claim, demand, charge, action, cause of action or other proceeding asserted by any third party against Subscriber alleging that any claim that the Software (or Subscriber’s use thereof in accordance with the Agreement) infringes or misappropriates such third party’s U.S. patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right (each, an "Infringement Claim"), provided that (A) Licensor is promptly notified in writing of any such claim, demand, charge, action, cause of action or other proceeding against Subscriber, and (B) Subscriber permits Licensor to defend, compromise or settle same and gives Licensor all available information, reasonable assistance and authority to enable Licensor to do so. Without limiting the foregoing, if Licensor receives notice of an Infringement Claim, Licensor shall have the right, at its option and sole expense, to obtain for Subscriber (and its Subscriber Users) the right to continue to use the Software or modify or replace the Software with an alternative, non-infringing solution that performs all of the same material functionality. This Section 6.1 does not apply to the extent that the alleged infringement arises from:
      1. Open source components or other third-party materials;

      7. use of the Software by or on behalf of Subscriber that is outside the purpose, scope, or manner of use authorized by this Agreement or in any manner contrary to Licensor's instructions;
      8. events or circumstances outside of Licensor's commercially reasonable control (including any third-party hardware, software, or system bugs, defects, or malfunctions); or
      9. Third-party claims or losses for which Subscriber is obligated to indemnify Licensor pursuant to Section 6.2
      The foregoing states the entire liability of Licensor, and Subscriber’s sole and exclusive remedy, with respect to Infringement Claims.
   2. Indemnification by Subscriber. Subscriber shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensor from and against any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or resulting from any claim, demand, charge, action, cause of action or other proceeding asserted by any third party against Licensor resulting from Subscriber’s use of the Software, including but not limited to (i) the Subscriber’s assumption or belief that the Software is free from defect or that the Software will detect all malfunctioning cameras or that there will not be a reasonable delay between a camera malfunctioning and the Software’s detection of such malfunction, or (ii) the conduct of Subscriber’s business while using the Platform of the Software, including, without limitation, personal injury actions, wrongful death action, property damage, breach of contract, employee or workplace disputes, or (iii) as a result of Subscriber’s inappropriate conduct, misrepresentation, unlawful or unethical behavior while using the Software.

7. Marketing and Publicity. Subscriber grants Licensor and Licensor grants Subscriber, the right to use either party’s name, mark and logo on the other party’s website, in that party’s marketing materials; provided, however, that in the event either party objects to any such use, the other party agrees to modify or remove such use as reasonably requested. Without requiring prior Subscriber approval, Subscriber agrees that Licensor may state the fact that Subscriber is a Licensor customer without revealing any Confidential Information or specifics about the Agreement or the relationship. Without requiring prior Licensor approval, Licensor agrees that Subscriber may state the fact that Licensor is providing service to Subscriber without revealing any Confidential Information or specifics about the Agreement or the relationship.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile signatures and signatures transmitted by email after having been scanned shall be accepted as originals for the purposes of this Agreement. The waiver by either party of a breach of or a default under any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of the Agreement, nor shall any delay or omission on the part of either party to exercise or avail itself of any right or remedy that it has or may have hereunder operate as a waiver of any right or remedy.
