You shall not allow access to or use of the Subscription Services by anyone other than Authorized Users.

Aurora Solar will not be responsible for any loss, destruction, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or corruption of Customer Data caused by any third party. AURORA SOLAR’S EFFORTS TO RESTORE LOST OR CORRUPTED CUSTOMER DATA PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 2.5 WILL CONSTITUTE AURORA SOLAR’S SOLE LIABILITY AND YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IN THE EVENT OF ANY LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF CUSTOMER DATA IN CONNECTION WITH THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES.
- FEES AND PAYMENT
3.1 Fees. You will pay Aurora Solar the fees set forth in the relevant Service Order in accordance with the terms therein and the terms of this Agreement (“Fees”). The Fees are non-refundable after the money back period as provided by Aurora Solar in the relevant Service Order. Aurora Solar reserves the right to change the Fees or applicable charges and to institute new charges and Fees at the end of a Subscription Term. Except as otherwise provided in the relevant Service Order, you will pay Aurora Solar the minimum monthly fee as set forth in the Service Order for use of up to fifty (50) Projects per Authorized User in the Account (the “Monthly Project Allowance”) for each calendar month following the effective date of the Subscription Term (a “Month”) within five (5) days following the beginning of each Month. If your Subscription Term is longer than one (1) Month, then at the end of each Month except for the last Month of your Subscription Term, the unused portion of the Monthly Project Allowance for such Month may be rolled over for use in the next Month in addition to the Monthly Project Allowance allocated for the next Month, provided that no unused portion of any Monthly Project Allowance may be rolled over from one Subscription Term to another Subscription Term and all unused Projects expire without any refund at the end of each Subscription Term. If your subscription is monthly, i.e. your Subscription Term is one (1) Month, you may not roll over any unused portion of any Monthly Project Allowance and all unused Projects expire without any refund at the end of each Subscription Term. Aurora Solar reserves the right to suspend or terminate Company’s Account for consistently repeated Overage under the Account. An “Overage” means when the total aggregate number of Projects used in a Month under your Account exceeds the Monthly Project Allowance. You agree that consistently repeated Overage is a material breach of this Agreement subject to Section 10.2.
3.2 Payments. Aurora Solar will charge the payment method provided by you for Fees on the applicable payment date, including any applicable taxes. If Aurora Solar cannot charge such payment method for any reason (such as expiration or insufficient funds), you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts, and Aurora Solar will attempt to charge the payment method again as you may update its payment method information. In accordance with local laws, Aurora Solar may update information regarding your payment method if provided such information by your financial institution. All payments due to Aurora Solar must be made in U.S. dollars. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, all payments are non-refundable. If you fail to make any payment when due, late charges will accrue at the rate of 1.5% per month or, if lower, the highest rate permitted by applicable law, and Aurora Solar may suspend your access to the Subscription Services until all payments are made in full. You will reimburse Aurora Solar for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in collecting any late payments or interest.
3.3 Taxes. You are responsible for all sales, use, ad valorem and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind (other than any taxes imposed on Aurora Solar’s net income) imposed by any federal, state, multinational or local governmental authority on any amount payable by you to Aurora Solar hereunder (“Taxes”). Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that you are required to deduct or withhold any Taxes from the amounts payable to Aurora Solar hereunder, you will pay the applicable additional amount, so that Aurora Solar receives the amounts due to it hereunder in full, as if there were no withholding or deduction.
- OWNERSHIP. As between Aurora Solar and you, Aurora Solar owns all worldwide right, title and interest in and to the Subscription Services including all Intellectual Property Rights therein. As between you and Aurora Solar, you own all worldwide right, title and interest in and to all Customer Data and Aurora Solar will not obtain any ownership rights or interests in such data. You hereby grant and will grant to Aurora Solar a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable (in whole or in part), sublicensable (through multiple tiers of sublicenses) license to: (a) use the Customer Data as is reasonably necessary to provide the Subscription Services hereunder for the term of this Agreement and (b) archive and perform analytics on the Customer Data and to distribute, publicly display or perform or otherwise use the results of the same provided such results are in an aggregated form that does not personally identify an individual person, and this license in subsection (b) is irrevocable and perpetual, and (c) to list on its website or in other informational or promotional material your business name (first name and last initial if you are an individual), city, state, country and website address to identify you as an Aurora Solar customer, and this license in subsection (c) shall be perpetual unless and until Aurora Solar receives written notice from you revoking such license under this subsection (c). The parties agree that the use of Company’s name as provided for in subsection (c) and any goodwill arising therefrom shall inure to the owner of such name, and upon written request, Aurora Solar will provide specimens of its usage and take corrective action as reasonably necessary to protect any trademark or other rights therein. To the extent you provide suggestions or feedback to Aurora Solar about its Subscription Services or Service-Generated Output (collectively, “Feedback”), you hereby irrevocably assign and will assign to Aurora Solar all right, title and interest you may have in and to such Feedback, and to the extent such assignment is not valid or complete, you hereby grant and will grant to Aurora Solar an exclusive, royalty-free, fully-paid, transferable (in whole or in part), sublicensable (through multiple tiers of sublicenses), worldwide, irrevocable and perpetual license under all Intellectual Property Rights to use and practice such Feedback in any manner, and irrevocably waive and agree to never assert any claim against Aurora Solar, its directors, officers, shareholders, employees or successors in interest relating to such Feedback.
- NO WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER. THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. AURORA SOLAR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM AURORA SOLAR OR ELSEWHERE WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

You assume sole responsibility and liability for results obtained from the use of the Subscription Services (including Service-Generated Output) and for conclusions drawn from such use. Aurora Solar will have no liability for any claims, losses, or damages caused by errors or omissions in any Customer Data provided to Aurora Solar by you or any results or Service-Generated Output produced by the Subscription Services based upon Customer Data. You acknowledge and agree that the results and Service-Generated Output produced by the Subscription Services based upon the processing of Customer Data are estimates only, that Aurora Solar does not guarantee that these estimates will match actual measurements taken at a given site, that Aurora Solar does not guarantee the accuracy of any engineering designs or plan-sets or customer proposals based on the results or Service-Generated Output produced by the Subscription Services, and that the Subscription Services shall not be deemed a substitute for an actual in-person analysis conducted at a given site. Aurora Solar cannot and will not be liable for third-party criminal intrusions into our Subscription Services, despite our efforts to prevent the same.

7.2 Exclusions.

The parties agree that the limitations and exclusions of liability and disclaimers specified in this Agreement will survive and apply even if found to have failed of their essential purpose.
7.5 Indemnification by You. You shall defend Aurora Solar, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees and successors in interest (collectively, “Aurora Solar Indemnitees”), from and against any action or suit brought against an Aurora Solar Indemnitee by a third party in connection with your or an Authorized User’s use of the Subscription Services (other than any claim for which Aurora Solar is responsible under Section 7.1) including but not limited to a claim that the use or provision of Customer Data or your use of the Subscription Services infringe or misappropriate any Intellectual Property Rights or privacy rights of a third party, and will pay any costs, damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees attributable to such claim that are awarded in final judgment against or paid in settlement by Aurora Solar.

Subject to the foregoing, all notices or approvals will be sent to the addresses set forth in the applicable Service Order or to such other address as may be specified by either party to the other in accordance with this Section. The failure by either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible, and the other provisions will remain in full force and effect. This Agreement (including our Privacy Policy, all Service Orders and documents incorporated by reference) is the complete and exclusive understanding and agreement between the parties regarding its subject matter, and supersedes all prior agreements, proposals, understandings or communications between the parties, oral or written, regarding its subject matter, unless you and Aurora Solar have executed a separate agreement governing use of the Subscription Services.
