Term and Termination.
Term. This Agreement shall commence on the earlier of (a) the date that you order the Services or (b) the date upon which you first use the Services (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue for an “Initial Term”, which shall be the term set forth in the applicable ordering document or web site pursuant to which you ordered the Services. Thereafter this Agreement shall renew for additional periods of one year (each a “Renewal Term”) unless you provide prior written notice to RemoteLock of your intent not to renew the Services at least forty-five (45) days before the end of the then-current term, provided that, if applicable law requires a shorter notice period for cancellation of automatic renewal, such shorter notice period shall apply. The Initial Term together with all Renewal Terms shall be the “Term”. RemoteLock may provide you a no-charge trial period. If you are provided a no-charge trial period and do not continue with a paid subscription, the Term shall conclude at the end of the free trial period.
Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated prior to expiration of the Term under the following circumstances. RemoteLock may terminate this Agreement or suspend access to your use of the Services immediately and without notice for a material breach of this Agreement or any improper use of the Services as may be determined in RemoteLock’s reasonable discretion. Improper use of the Services may include, without limitation, abuse of RemoteLock customer support. In the event of a termination pursuant to the foregoing two sentences, you shall not be entitled to any refund of amounts paid, including any amounts paid for future access to the Services. In addition, RemoteLock may terminate this Agreement and your access to the Services at any time with at least ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to you, provided that RemoteLock will refund any amounts paid for future service if termination is pursuant to this sentence. If the Services are provided on a no-charge basis, RemoteLock may terminate this Agreement and your access to the Services at any time, for any reason and without prior notice. If RemoteLock materially breaches this Agreement, you may terminate this Agreement “for cause” by providing thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to RemoteLock detailing such material breach, provided that, such termination shall be void if RemoteLock cures its breach within the thirty (30) day period. If you terminate “for cause” RemoteLock will refund any payments made for future service. You may also terminate this Agreement “for convenience” at any time by providing written notice to RemoteLock. You agree that if you terminate this Agreement “for convenience” you shall not be entitled to any refund of amounts paid to RemoteLock and any remaining fees for the full term of your subscription (i.e., the term of your subscription applicable before termination “for convenience”) shall become immediately due and may be immediately invoiced by RemoteLock.
Promptly upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, you and your Authorized Users will cease use of the Services. Provisions that by their nature, should survive termination of this Agreement shall survive termination. By way of example, the following will survive termination: any obligation you have to pay, indemnification obligations, any limitation of liability, terms regarding ownership of intellectual property and terms regarding disputes. ON EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, REMOTELOCK SHALL NOT HAVE ANY OBLIGATION TO RETAIN OR RETRIVE DATA COLLECTED IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.
Fees.
Payment. You agree that RemoteLock may charge you for all applicable fees for the Services that you order or use (“Fees”). Fees shall be set forth in an ordering document or will be described on RemoteLock’s website. All quoted Fees will be exclusive of taxes, duties and the like, which may be charged by RemoteLock and will be paid by you (exclusive of taxes based on RemoteLock’s net income). Unless otherwise set forth in an ordering document, subscription fees shall be charged upon the initial purchase and at the beginning of each Renewal Term. If RemoteLock provides you an alternative payment schedule with multiple payment installments over the applicable subscription Term (for example, monthly payments for an annual subscription), the remaining amount for the entire subscription Term shall immediately become due and payable if you do not pay an installment payment on time. If you are provided a no-charge trial period and continue to a paid subscription after such no-charge trial period, subscription fees may be charged upon conclusion of the no-charge trial period. If additional subscriptions for Services are purchased by you during the then-applicable Term, Fees for additional subscriptions shall be charged at RemoteLock’s then-applicable price and shall be pro-rated for the remainder of the then-applicable Term for such additional subscriptions so that all subscriptions expire/renew at the same time. You agree that any non-subscription Fees may be charged according to RemoteLock’s then-applicable policy, which may include being immediately charged for such Fees. If any payment is not received on time, is returned unpaid or if any credit card or similar transaction is rejected, denied, challenged or reversed, RemoteLock may suspend your access to the Services until payment is made or terminate this Agreement for material breach.
If your ordering document indicates that Fees shall be invoiced, Fees shall be due within thirty (30) days of invoice date. You agree that RemoteLock may send invoices to any address that is set forth on the ordering document. RemoteLock shall not be required to use your payment system to submit an invoice and you agree that you do not require a purchase order to issue before invoicing. If you fail to pay the Fees on time, RemoteLock may charge the lesser of 1% interest per month or the maximum allowable under applicable law on overdue amounts.
UNLESS YOU CANCEL AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, AS DETAILED ABOVE IN “TERM”, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE SERVICES WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONTINUE AND YOU AUTHORIZE REMOTELOCK (WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU, UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW) TO COLLECT THE THEN-APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION FEES AND ANY TAXES FOR EACH RENEWAL TERM, USING ANY PAYMENT METHOD, INCLUDING ANY CREDIT AND/OR DEBIT CARD, THAT REMOTELOCK HAS ON RECORD FOR YOU.
IF YOU ARE PROVIDED A NO-CHARGE TRIAL PERIOD, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE SERVICES WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONTINUE ON A PAID BASIS UNLESS YOU CANCEL BEFORE THE END OF THE NO-CHARGE TRIAL PERIOD, AND YOU AUTHORIZE REMOTELOCK (WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU, UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW) TO COLLECT THE THEN-APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION FEES AND ANY TAXES FOR THE PAID SUBSCRIPTION, USING ANY PAYMENT METHOD, INCLUDING ANY CREDIT AND/OR DEBIT CARD, THAT REMOTELOCK HAS ON RECORD FOR YOU.
Fee Updates. RemoteLock may update applicable Fees at any time by updating such Fees on its website or otherwise providing notice to you. Updates to Fees, including any Fees for the use of integrations and/or premium services, shall apply immediately.
Confidentiality.
Confidential Information. Each party (the “Disclosing Party”) may from time to time during the term of this Agreement disclose to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) certain non-public information regarding the Disclosing Party’s business, including technical, marketing, financial, personnel, planning, and other information (“Confidential Information”). Regardless of whether marked as confidential or not, any non-public information regarding the Services or Software shall be deemed the Confidential Information of RemoteLock.
Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall not disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, and shall otherwise protect such Confidential Information, using the same degree of care which the Receiving Party ordinarily uses with respect to its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party shall not use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose other than in connection with the Receiving Party’s rights and duties pursuant to this Agreement, and shall limit the disclosure of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the employees or agents of the Receiving Party who have a need to know such Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement, and who are, with respect to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, bound by confidentiality terms no less restrictive than those contained herein.
Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Confidential Information shall not be deemed to include any information which (i) was already lawfully known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party as reflected in the written records of the Receiving Party; (ii) was or becomes lawfully known to the general public without breach of this Agreement; (iii) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without access to, or use of, the Confidential Information; or (iv) is required to be disclosed by law or by the order or a court or similar judicial or administrative body; provided, however, (a) that the Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party of such requirement immediately and in writing, and shall cooperate reasonably with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in the obtaining of a protective or similar order with respect thereto and (b) such information shall continue to be deemed Confidential Information with respect to any other use or disclosure.
Limitation of Liability.
YOU AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL REMOTELOCK OR ITS PARENTS, AFFILIATES, RELATED COMPANIES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, LICENSORS OR SUPPLIERS (COLLECTIVELY, REMOTELOCK AND THE OTHER ENTITIES, THE “REMOTELOCK ENTITIES”) BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICE, THE SOFTWARE AND/OR ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER SERVICES PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST DATA, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO YOUR PROPERTY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, AND/OR ANY INFORMATION OR SERVICES, EVEN IF THE REMOTELOCK ENTITIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. ADDITIONALLY, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE REMOTELOCK ENTITIES AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO REMOTELOCK IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PROCEEDING WHEN THE APPLICABLE CAUSE OF ACTION FIRST AROSE OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS (US$100.00). THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY DESCRIBED ABOVE SHALL APPLY FULLY TO RESIDENTS OF NEW JERSEY. IF ANY PORTION OF THIS SECTION IS HELD TO BE INVALID UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, THE INVALIDITY OF SUCH PORTION SHALL NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF THE REMAINING PORTIONS OF THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
Indemnification.
By RemoteLock. If you are, or RemoteLock reasonably believes that you will become, subject to any third party claim that your authorized use of the Services infringes any U.S. copyright or U.S. patent, RemoteLock will, at its option and expense: (a) procure for you the right to continue using the Services or (b) replace or modify the Services so as to no longer infringe. If RemoteLock is unable to reasonably resolve the third party claim through the foregoing options, it may terminate this Agreement and shall promptly refund to you any Fees paid for future use of the Services. RemoteLock’s obligation under this section will not extend to any claim based on or arising from: (i) additions, changes or modifications to the Services by or on behalf of you or your Authorized User(s); (ii) use or incorporation of the Services or any component thereof with or into any other service, product or process; (iii) User Information; or (iv) your or your Authorized User(s)’ unauthorized use of the Services. You will give RemoteLock prompt notice of any infringement or potential infringement covered by the obligations of RemoteLock under this section.

Dealer Terms
THIS SECTION ONLY APPLIES TO YOU IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED THE SERVICES FROM A REMOTELOCK AUTHORIZED DEALER (A “DEALER”). NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED THE SERVICES FROM A DEALER, THE FOLLOWING TERMS SHALL APPLY.
Dealer Terms – Fees and Billing: If you have ordered the Services through a Dealer, Fees and billing shall be according to your agreement with the Dealer. In the event that a Dealer ceases to do business and/or loses its authorization from RemoteLock, you agree that RemoteLock may collect any unpaid fees for the Services directly from you.
Dealer Terms – Support: For so long as you are ordering the Services through a Dealer, you acknowledge and agree that support for the Services shall be provided by such Dealer and that RemoteLock shall have no obligation to respond directly to any request for support from you and/or any of your Authorized Users.
Dealer Terms – Transition: If the Dealer that you ordered the Services from ceases to do business and/or loses its authorization from RemoteLock, you agree that RemoteLock may transition your account to being a direct RemoteLock customer, including obtaining direct payment from you for applicable fees, and that the “Dealer Terms” shall no longer apply (a “Dealer Transition”). If a Dealer Transition occurs and you do not promptly provide information requested by RemoteLock, including any requested payment information, you agree that RemoteLock may immediately cease providing the Services.
Dealer Terms – User Information. You acknowledge and agree that the Dealer may have access to User Information and/or Usage Data in connection with the Services, including information made available in connection with Dealer’s support or billing of Fees.

Dispute Resolution: Mandatory, Bilateral Arbitration and Waiver of Class Actions
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
YOU AND REMOTELOCK AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY FINAL AND BINDING BILATERAL ARBITRATION, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court in your county of residence within the United States if your claims qualify; and (2) this agreement to arbitrate does not include your or RemoteLock’s right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in state or federal court in Denver County, Colorado to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s Intellectual Property Rights. The Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §1, et seq., and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement and govern all questions as to whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.
Il n'y a ni juge ni jury en arbitrage, et la révision judiciaire d'une sentence arbitrale est limitée. Un arbitre peut cependant accorder, à titre individuel, les mêmes dommages et intérêts et réparations qu'un tribunal (y compris les mesures injonctives et déclaratoires ou les dommages-intérêts légaux), et doit respecter les termes du présent Contrat.
Afin d'éviter toute ambiguïté, les litiges soumis à la présente convention d'arbitrage incluent, sans s'y limiter, toute réclamation ou controverse entre vous et RemoteLock concernant les ventes, les retours, les remboursements, les annulations, les défauts, les politiques, la confidentialité, la publicité, ou toute communication entre vous et RemoteLock, même si la réclamation survient après que vous ou RemoteLock avez mis fin à votre accès aux Services et/ou au présent Contrat.
Avant d'engager une procédure d'arbitrage, vous et RemoteLock acceptez de vous adresser mutuellement une notification écrite (« Avis de litige »), qui devra contenir : (a) une description écrite du problème ainsi que les documents pertinents et les informations justificatives ; et (b) une déclaration des réparations spécifiques demandées. Sauf en cas de préjudice irréparable potentiel, vous et RemoteLock acceptez de tenter de bonne foi de résoudre tout litige avant d'engager une procédure d'arbitrage et de ne pas engager de procédure d'arbitrage avant quarante-cinq jours après la remise de l'Avis de litige applicable.
Processus et procédure d'arbitrage
Si vous et RemoteLock ne parvenez pas à une solution convenue dans les quarante-cinq (45) jours suivant la remise de l'Avis de litige, l'une ou l'autre partie peut alors engager un arbitrage contraignant comme seul moyen de résoudre les réclamations, sous réserve du présent Contrat. L'arbitrage devra (1) être administré par la Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (« JAMS »), conformément aux Règles et procédures d'arbitrage simplifiées de la JAMS alors en vigueur (les « Règles JAMS ») et tel que modifié par la présente convention d'arbitrage, y compris les règles concernant le dépôt, l'administration, la découverte et les honoraires de l'arbitre ; (2) être mené par un arbitre unique et neutre ; et (3) avoir lieu dans le comté où vous résidez ou dans tout lieu raisonnable aux États-Unis qui vous convient. Dans la mesure où la présente convention d'arbitrage entre en conflit avec la Politique de la JAMS sur les arbitrages de consommation conformément aux clauses de pré-litige – Normes minimales pour l'équité procédurale (les « Normes minimales »), les Normes minimales s'appliqueront à cet égard.
VOUS ET REMOTELOCK ACCEPTEZ CHACUN QUE TOUTE PROCÉDURE DE RÈGLEMENT DES LITIGES SERA MENÉE UNIQUEMENT SUR UNE BASE INDIVIDUELLE ET NON DANS LE CADRE D'UNE ACTION COLLECTIVE, REPRÉSENTATIVE OU D'UN PROCUREUR GÉNÉRAL PRIVÉ. En outre, à moins que vous et RemoteLock n'en conveniez expressément autrement, l'arbitre ne peut pas regrouper les réclamations de plus d'une personne et ne peut pas autrement présider une forme quelconque de procédure représentative ou collective. Si un tribunal décide que la loi applicable empêche l'application de l'une des limitations de cette section concernant une réclamation particulière, alors cette réclamation (et uniquement cette réclamation) doit être séparée de l'arbitrage et peut être portée devant un tribunal.
Si, pour une raison quelconque, une réclamation est portée devant un tribunal plutôt que par arbitrage, vous et RemoteLock renoncez chacun au droit à un procès avec jury.
VOUS COMPRENEZ ET ACCEPTEZ DONC QU'EN CONCLUANT LE PRÉSENT CONTRAT, VOUS ET REMOTELOCK RENONCEZ CHACUN AU DROIT À UN PROCÈS AVEC JURY ET AU DROIT DE PARTICIPER À UNE ACTION COLLECTIVE OU REPRÉSENTATIVE POUR TOUTE RÉCLAMATION COUVERTE PAR LE PRÉSENT CONTRAT.
Les Règles JAMS sont disponibles sur son site web à l'adresse http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/. Nonobstant toute disposition contraire des Règles JAMS ou toute autre disposition des règles d'arbitrage choisies, par accord, pour régir, vous et RemoteLock acceptez chacun que toutes les questions relatives à un litige soient déléguées à l'arbitre pour décision. En outre, l'arbitre, et non un tribunal ou une agence fédérale, étatique ou locale, aura l'autorité exclusive de résoudre tous les litiges découlant de ou liés à l'interprétation, l'applicabilité, l'opposabilité ou la formation du présent Contrat, y compris, mais sans s'y limiter, toute allégation selon laquelle tout ou partie du présent Contrat est nul ou annulable, ou si une réclamation est soumise à l'arbitrage. La sentence arbitrale sera écrite, contraignante pour les parties et pourra être homologuée comme jugement par tout tribunal compétent.
Audience
Si votre réclamation n'excède pas 10 000 $ (USD), vous et RemoteLock acceptez de renoncer à une audience orale devant l'arbitre et l'arbitrage sera mené uniquement sur la base des documents que vous et RemoteLock soumettez à l'arbitre, à moins que vous ne demandiez une audience ou que l'arbitre ne juge une audience nécessaire. Dans la mesure où une audience orale est demandée par vous ou RemoteLock, ou jugée nécessaire par l'arbitre, vous et RemoteLock acceptez que l'audience soit menée par téléphone ou par vidéoconférence.
Décision de l'arbitre
La sentence arbitrale sera une déclaration écrite de la décision concernant chaque réclamation et fournira également une déclaration écrite concise des constatations et conclusions essentielles qui constituent la base de la sentence. La décision et la sentence de l'arbitre sont définitives et contraignantes, avec une révision judiciaire limitée en vertu de la FAA, et un jugement sur la sentence peut être rendu par tout tribunal compétent.
Frais
Il incombe à chaque partie de payer les frais de dépôt, de gestion de dossier/administratifs et les honoraires de l'arbitre de la JAMS, tels qu'énoncés dans les Règles JAMS. Dans la mesure où les frais de dépôt de l'arbitrage dépassent le coût du dépôt d'une action en justice, RemoteLock paiera le coût supplémentaire. Si votre demande de dommages-intérêts n'excède pas 25 000 $ (USD) et que vous suivez la procédure de notification de litige énoncée ci-dessus, RemoteLock paiera tous ces frais, à moins que l'arbitre ne constate que la substance de votre litige ou la réparation demandée était frivole ou a été intentée dans un but inapproprié (tel que mesuré par les normes énoncées dans la Règle fédérale de procédure civile 11(b)).
Petites créances et action gouvernementale
En alternative à l'arbitrage, vous ou RemoteLock pouvez résoudre les litiges devant un tribunal des petites créances ayant compétence sur votre réclamation. Le présent Contrat et la présente convention d'arbitrage ne vous empêchent pas de porter votre Litige à l'attention de toute agence gouvernementale fédérale, étatique ou locale. Ces agences peuvent, si la loi le permet, demander réparation contre RemoteLock en votre nom.

Afin d'éviter toute ambiguïté, un bon de commande client ou un document similaire ne sera pas considéré comme un Accord-cadre et les termes de tout document de ce type ne s'appliqueront pas. Si un Accord-cadre s'applique à votre utilisation des Services, les termes de l'Accord-cadre et du présent Accord s'appliqueront à votre utilisation des Services, sauf indication contraire dans l'Accord-cadre. En cas de conflit entre l'Accord-cadre et le présent Accord, l'Accord-cadre prévaudra. Afin d'éviter toute ambiguïté, et sous réserve de la phrase précédente, le présent Accord prévaut sur toute autre communication entre vous, ou en votre nom, et RemoteLock, y compris toute version antérieure du présent Accord. Dans la mesure où votre utilisation des Services implique ou est intégrée à des produits ou services de tiers, les conditions de ces tiers peuvent également s'appliquer aux services de tiers.
Mineurs. Vous devez être âgé d'au moins 18 ans (ou de l'âge éventuellement requis par la loi applicable, mais en aucun cas moins de 18 ans) pour utiliser les Services.
Cession. Vous ne pouvez pas céder le présent Accord, sauf à une entité acquérant la quasi-totalité de vos actifs, à condition que ce cessionnaire ne soit pas un concurrent de RemoteLock, tel que déterminé à la discrétion raisonnable de RemoteLock, et que ce cessionnaire accepte par écrit d'assumer toutes les obligations en vertu du présent Accord. Sauf disposition contraire ci-dessus, vous ne pouvez céder aucun de vos droits ni déléguer aucune de vos obligations en vertu du présent Accord à une partie quelconque sans le consentement écrit exprès de RemoteLock. Toute tentative de cession en violation de ce qui précède sera nulle et sans effet. Sous réserve de ce qui précède, le présent Accord liera vos successeurs et ayants droit et leur profitera.
Notification. Toute notification en vertu des présentes doit être faite par écrit et envoyée par courrier recommandé ou par e-mail. La notification à votre intention sera envoyée à toute adresse physique et/ou e-mail que vous (ou en votre nom) avez fournie à RemoteLock. Si vous ne fournissez aucune adresse à RemoteLock, la notification pourra être envoyée par RemoteLock de toute manière déterminée à la discrétion raisonnable de RemoteLock. La notification à RemoteLock doit être envoyée par e-mail à legalnotice@remotelock.com. Les notifications seront réputées données à leur réception.
Force Majeure
RemoteLock ne sera pas responsable de toute violation de l'Accord ou de tout retard ou manquement à l'exécution résultant d'une cause échappant au contrôle raisonnable de RemoteLock, y compris, mais sans s'y limiter, les conditions météorologiques, les troubles civils, les actes des autorités civiles ou militaires, les pandémies ou les cas de force majeure.
