TERMS AND CONDITIONS, Version 200608

SCOPE 5, INC.  STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS, Version 200608

These Standard Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) constitute a legal agreement between Scope 5, Inc. (“Scope 5”) and the person or entity (“Customer”) executing a written ordering document that references these Terms (a “Service Order”), and govern access to and use of Scope 5’s online environment (the “Service Website”), cloud-based services provided by Scope 5 through or in connection with the Service Website (the “Cloud Services”), and Scope 5’s proprietary software applications (“Tools”) (collectively, the Service Website, Cloud Services and Tools are referred to as the “Service”). By executing a Service Order, you agree to all the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the provisions of a Service Order, the provisions of the Service Order shall govern. If you are entering into this agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such company or entity to these Terms, in which case the terms “you” and “Customer” as used below shall refer to such company or entity.  If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree with these Terms, you should not execute a Service Order. If you have elected to purchase professional services from Scope 5 (“Professional Services”), as described in a separate written statement of work (“SOW”), these Terms also apply to the provision and use of the Professional Services. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the provisions of a SOW, the provisions of the SOW shall govern. As used herein, the term “Parties” means Scope 5 and Customer collectively, and “Party” means Scope 5 or Customer individually.

These Terms are effective as of the effective date set forth in the Services Order and shall remain in effect for the subscription period set forth in the Service Order unless earlier terminated as provided herein.

  • SERVICE DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE: The Service allows Customer to efficiently and accurately capture and store data relating to Customer’s resource consumption and conservation, and provides the ability to plan, track, report, and analyze that data. The Service supports participation by multiple users and allows Customer to track the users’ engagement, action and communication. The maximum number of Concurrent Authorized Users of the Service, and the maximum number of Standard Trackers enabled for the Service are specified in the Service Order. An “Authorized User” means an employee, agent or independent contractor of Customer that is authorized by Customer to access and use the Services. “Concurrent Authorized Users” means Authorized Users who use the Service at the same time. A “Standard Tracker” means a feature of the Service that monitors the usage of a Customer resource, such as electricity, natural gas, machinery, or a vehicle. 
  • LICENSE: Subject to the terms and provisions herein, Scope 5 hereby grants to Customer and its Authorized Users, during the Term, a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to: (a) access and use the Service Website solely for purposes of entering data, modifying data, creating and modifying Standard Trackers and Custom Resources; (b) view and manage the reports, charts and dashboards provided as part of the Service (“Reports”);  and (c) install and use the Tools solely in connection with Customer’s use of the Service. 
  • PROFESSIONAL SERVICES: If Customer has elected to purchase Professional Services from Scope 5, the Parties shall enter into a separate, written SOW describing the Professional Services to be performed and setting forth other applicable terms and conditions, including without limitation, Professional Services fees and payment terms, Customer responsibilities, milestones and Deliverables (if any). “Deliverables” means any reports, analyses, inventories, or other work products, tangible or intangible, to be delivered by Scope 5 to Customer as set forth in a SOW. Scope 5 will have no obligation to provide Professional Services, and Customer shall have no obligation to pay for Professional Services, unless and until a SOW has been executed by both Parties.
  • INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY: The Service involves valuable patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property rights of Scope 5 and its suppliers. No title to or ownership of the Service, or any portion thereof, or any associated proprietary rights, is transferred to Customer or any Authorized User, and Scope 5 and its suppliers and licensors, reserve all right, title and interest in and to the same, including in cases where a Customer pays Scope 5 to add functionality already on our roadmap to the product (“Roadmap Acceleration”).

SCOPE 5 RESPONSIBILITIES: 

  • AVAILABILITY: Scope 5 will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Service and Service Website available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except for: (a) planned downtime (of which Scope 5 shall give at least 8 hours prior notice via the Service Website and/or by email) and which will be scheduled to the extent practicable during the weekend hours from 6:00 PM Friday to 3:00 AM Monday, Pacific Time); or (b) any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond Scope 5’s reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God, acts of government, floods, fires, earthquakes, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems (other than those involving Scope 5’s employees), Internet service provider failures or delays, or denial of service attacks.

  • SECURITY: Scope 5 will provide unique password(s) to Customer for use by Authorized Users in accessing and using the Service Website.  Scope  5 will use commercially reasonable security technologies (such as encryption, password protection and firewall protection) in providing the Service. However, Scope 5 does not control the transfer of data, including but not limited to Customer Data, over telecommunications facilities, including the Internet, and Scope 5 does not warrant secure operation of the Service or that such security technologies will be able to prevent third party disruptions of the Service.
  • REPAIRS AND MODIFICATIONS: Scope 5 reserves the right from time to time to perform repairs or make modifications to the Service and add or withdraw products or services therefrom and such repairs, modifications, additions and withdrawals may affect or limit Customer’s usage of the same.

After such thirty (30) day period following such termination, Scope 5 will   have no obligation to maintain any Customer data and shall thereafter warrant the deletion and destruction of all Customer data in Scope 5’s possession. Scope 5 agrees that if it receives a request from any third-party, including any governmental agencies, in the form of a subpoena or other format, requesting access to or reproduction of  Customer  Data,  or  any  other  Customer Confidential Information, Scope 5 shall promptly inform Customer, as legally permissible, and cooperate with Customer in responding to the subpoena. To the extent any Customer Data is stored on a third-­‐party server or storage device, Scope 5 warrants that the above protections relating to third-party requests for Customer Data   will apply to such third-party servers or storage devices and their respective owners.

If payment is not to be in cash, Customer will execute a financing statement, security agreement, lease, and any other documents reasonably requested by Scope 5.

In the event Customer fails to pay any amounts owed or otherwise breaches any term or provision herein, Scope 5 may, in addition to any other rights and remedies, suspend performance of the Service and restrict Customer access to the Service Website without any liability to Scope 5. In the event of suspension of performance of the Service or access restriction to the Service Website in accordance with the previous sentence, Customer will continue to be obligated to pay all amounts owed hereunder during such suspension until the breach is cured, all amounts are paid and the Service and access to the Service Website have been reinstated.

Scope 5 warrants to Customer that (a) the Service will be functional and available for use as set forth herein, and (b) any Professional Services will be performed in a professional, workmanlike manner in accordance with the standards of the industry and consistent with the specifications set forth in the SOW. As Scope 5’s entire liability and Customer’s sole remedy, Scope 5 shall use commercially reasonable efforts to correct any Service that does  not  comply  with  the warranty in this Section 12.
