F. Trial Use of the Services:

You have the option to request certain services for trial purposes, intended for non-production use only. These trial services are provided "as is," and no warranties are offered for such services.

G. Indemnification:

In the event that a third party asserts a claim against you or COSGrid Networks ("Recipient") alleging infringement of their intellectual property rights based on any material provided by you or COSGrid Networks ("Provider"), the Provider will bear the sole cost and responsibility of defending the Recipient against such claims and indemnify the Recipient against any damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses awarded by a court or agreed upon in a settlement. To qualify for indemnification, the Recipient must fulfill the following conditions :

  • Promptly notify the Provider in writing, within 30 days of receiving notice of the claim (or sooner if required by law).
  • Grant the Provider exclusive control over the defense and any settlement negotiations.
  • Provide the Provider with all necessary information, authority, and assistance to defend against or settle the claim.

If the Provider determines that any material may have infringed upon a third party's intellectual property rights, the Provider may choose to take appropriate actions, such as modifying the material to be non-infringing, obtaining a license for continued use, or, if commercially reasonable options are not available, terminating the license for the material, requiring its return, and refunding any unused prepaid fees. Should the return of the material significantly impact COSGrid Networks' ability to fulfill its obligations, COSGrid Networks may, at its discretion and with 30 days' written notice, terminate the corresponding order. The Provider will not indemnify the Recipient if the Recipient modifies the material beyond the defined scope in the Provider's user documentation or services policies, uses a superseded version of the material, or utilizes any material not provided by the Provider. Additionally, COSGrid Networks will not indemnify you for any infringement claim arising from the combination of the material with non-COSGrid Networks products or services. The indemnification does not cover claims based on patents made known to you before the effective date of this agreement or actions taken by you prior to the effective date. This section serves as the exclusive remedy for any infringement claims or damages.

H. End of Agreement:

The services provided under this agreement will be available for the duration specified in the ordering document, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The period of the services and any subsequent renewal years are collectively referred to as the "services term." Upon the conclusion of the services term, all rights to use the services, including any COSGrid Networks products listed in the ordering document, will terminate. If either party breaches a significant provision of the agreement and fails to remedy the breach within 30 days of receiving written notice, the non-breaching party may terminate the applicable ordering document in which the breach occurred.

If COSGrid Networks ended an ordering document as stated in the previous paragraph, you must make payment within 30 days for all accrued amounts up to the termination date, as well as any remaining unpaid fees for the services ordered under the agreement, along with applicable taxes and expenses. If COSGrid Networks terminates the services under the Indemnification section, you must pay within 30 days for all outstanding amounts due for the services, including related taxes and expenses. The non-breaching party may, at its sole discretion, extend the 30-day cure period if the breaching party is making reasonable efforts to rectify the breach. You acknowledge that in the event of a default on your part, you will not be allowed to use the services that were ordered. Furthermore, if you are in default under an InstaSafe Financing Division contract used to pay for the fees under an order, you may not use the services covered by that contract.

Additionally, if you fail to make the required payments to InstaSafe in accordance with the agreement and do not remedy the situation within ten days of the 30-day cure period, or if you violate any provision of this agreement, InstaSafe may suspend your password, account, and access to the services immediately. InstaSafe may also terminate the services if the aforementioned issues are not resolved within 30 days after the initial notice. However, any suspension of services by InstaSafe under this circumstance does not release you from the obligation to make the required payments under the agreement.

Upon your request and for a period of up to 60 days after the termination of the applicable ordering document, InstaSafe may allow you limited access to the services solely for the purpose of retrieving your data stored in the services environment

You acknowledge and agree that InstaSafe is not obligated to retain your data, and after 60 days following the termination of the ordering document, your data may be permanently deleted and irretrievable.

Certain provisions of the agreement will survive termination or expiration, including those related to limitation of liability, infringement indemnity, payment, and others that are intended to endure beyond the termination of the agreement due to their nature.

I. Pricing

COSGrid Networks offers various Subscription Plans for the provision of their Services on a monthly or yearly basis (the "Subscription Plan").

The Price for each Subscription Plan is determined based on the duration, number of users and features included in the plan. Please note that the Subscription Plans and their respective Prices are subject to change by COSGrid Networks without prior notice or liability. Additional or future services may not be included in the Price at the discretion of COSGrid Networks.

The Subscription Plan Term begins upon successful payment and ends at the conclusion of the Billing Cycle associated with the Subscription Plan. In the event of a payment reversal, the Subscription Plan Term will be immediately terminated, and any credits, discounts, or commitments provided by COSGrid Networks will be voided.

Your Subscription Plan will automatically renew for subsequent terms based on the applicable Billing Cycle (monthly or annual) unless you initiate the Subscription Cancellation Process within your Tenant prior to the renewal date. For further clarity, Refer to our Cancellation and Refund Policies.

COSGrid Networks reserves the right to adjust fees or discontinue offered Subscription Plans, which will take effect in the subsequent billing cycle. In such cases, COSGrid Networks will provide you with at least 30 days' written notice regarding any price increases and offer you the option to cancel the Subscription Plan before the next billing cycle.

Billing Cycles start at the beginning of the month and end on the last day of the last month of your Subscription Plan. If you purchase a Subscription Plan in the middle of the month, you will be charged a prorated amount for the first cycle on the day of purchase.

If you choose to purchase additional features or add more users to an existing Subscription Plan ("Additional Order") during the term of the plan, the initial term of the Additional Order will be adjusted to align with the existing Subscription Plan. The fees for the Additional Order will be prorated based on the remaining term of the existing Subscription Plan.

J. Taxes:

You are responsible for determining any applicable taxes on the payments you make and for collecting, reporting, and remitting the correct tax amount to the appropriate tax authority. COSGrid Networks is not responsible for assessing the tax applicability or collecting, reporting, or remitting any taxes arising from your transactions. Sales tax, Value Added Tax, or other applicable taxes may be added to your Subscription Plan payments as determined by COSGrid Networks.

If you are required to deduct or withhold taxes from your Subscription Plan payments, the withheld amount will be solely your responsibility. The payment made by you to COSGrid Networks for your Subscription Plan will be adjusted to account for the grossed-up amount, ensuring that COSGrid Networks receives the intended payment free of any tax deduction or withholding.

K. Confidentiality:

As part of the agreement, both parties may have access to confidential information belonging to each other ("confidential information"). We agree to disclose only the information that is necessary for fulfilling our obligations under the agreement. Confidential information includes, but is not limited to, the terms and pricing specified in the agreement, your data stored in the services environment, and any information explicitly identified as confidential at the time of disclosure.

Confidential information does not include information that: (a) becomes publicly available without any action or omission by the receiving party; (b) was already lawfully in the possession of the receiving party prior to the disclosure and was not obtained directly or indirectly from the disclosing party; (c) is lawfully disclosed to the receiving party by a third party without any restrictions; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party.

Both parties agree to treat each other's confidential information as confidential and maintain its confidentiality for a period of three years from the date of disclosure. We also agree to disclose confidential information only to employees or agents who need to know it and who are bound by confidentiality obligations that are at least as protective as those in the agreement. InstaSafe will ensure the confidentiality of your data stored in the services environment by following the security practices outlined in the services policies mentioned in the ordering document. Nothing in this agreement prevents either party from disclosing the terms or pricing specified in the agreement in any legal proceedings related to the agreement or from disclosing confidential information to a government entity as required by law.

L. Entire Agreement:

Both parties agree that the agreement, along with any referenced information, constitutes the complete agreement regarding the ordered services. It supersedes any prior agreements or representations, whether written or oral. If any term of the agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect, and the invalid term will be replaced with a term that aligns with the agreement's purpose. The terms of the agreement take precedence over any terms in purchase orders or non-COSGrid Networks documents. Any modifications or waivers require written agreement from authorized representatives of both parties.

M. Limitation of Liability:

Neither party is liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages, or any loss of revenue, profits, data, or data use, excluding fees under the agreement. COSGrid Networks' maximum liability for damages arising from the agreement or the order, whether in contract or tort, is limited to the total amounts actually paid to COSGrid Networks for the services under the relevant order in the twelve (12) month period preceding the claim. Any damages awarded to you will be reduced by any refunds or credits received under the agreement.
