If you do not agree to these Terms or you are not authorized to access and/or use the Products, you shall not access or use the Products. If you are accessing and/or using the Products on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity that is our Customer, you agree to these Terms on behalf of such company or other legal entity, and you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind such company or other legal entity to these Terms. If you have entered into a separate contract with Samsara with respect to your purchase of Products or under which Products are made available to you, to the extent there is a conflict between such separate contract with Samsara and these Terms, such separate contract with Samsara shall prevail. References to “you” and “your” in these Terms refer to that company or other legal entity, our Customer. You may not use the Products if you are our direct competitor, as determined in our sole discretion, except with our prior written consent.
3. Changes to Terms or Services. Samsara may modify the Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If Samsara does so, Samsara will inform you by posting the modified Terms to the Services or our website or through other communications with you, our Customer. It is important that you review the Terms whenever Samsara modifies them because if you continue to use the Products after Samsara has posted or otherwise informed you of the modified Terms, you are indicating to Samsara that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If you do not agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then you may not continue to use the Products.
4. License. Subject to the terms and conditions specified in these Terms or an applicable Order Form, Samsara grants Customer a non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited and revocable license to use and access the Samsara Software (i) in accordance with the Documentation, (ii) for the number and type of Samsara Software licenses specified in the applicable Order Form and solely the functionality included therein, and (iii) starting from the applicable License Start Date until the License Expiration Date set forth in such Order Form or the earlier termination of such Order Form or these Terms. The Support Services and the Hosted Software SLA are included as part of the license grant and contingent upon a valid license. The Firmware license for each item of Hardware is contingent upon Customer purchasing and maintaining a valid license to the Samsara Software. For clarity, the license for Samsara Software that is provided in conjunction with a Hardware unit is only valid for use with that Hardware unit, unless the Hardware unit is replaced pursuant to the Hardware Warranty Policy and RMA Policy. Samsara reserves the right to audit Customer’s usage of Samsara Software and to remove Customer’s access to Samsara Software beyond the licensed scope (“Licensed Scope”) (for example, the licensed feature scope or licensed user count, as applicable) at any time. If Customer would like to use Samsara Software beyond the Licensed Scope, Customer is required to purchase the applicable Samsara Software licenses and if applicable install the applicable Hardware that include such scope. If Samsara becomes aware that Customer is using Samsara Software beyond the Licensed Scope, Samsara reserves the right to charge Customer for the applicable Samsara Software licenses that include such Licensed Scope at the then-current list price, and Customer agrees to immediately pay such amounts. Further, during the applicable license term under an Order Form, Customer agrees that it cannot downgrade a Samsara Software license plan to a lower Samsara Software license plan (for example, downgrading from an “Enterprise” license to a “Premier” license).
5. License Restrictions. Customer agrees not to do or attempt to do any of the following without Samsara’s express prior written consent: (i) resell, white label, or reproduce the Products or any individual element within the Product, Samsara’s name, any Samsara trademark, logo or other proprietary information, or the layout and design of any part of the Product; (ii) access, tamper with, or use non-public areas of the Samsara Software, Samsara’s computer systems, or the technical delivery systems of Samsara’s providers; (iii) probe, scan or test the vulnerability of any Samsara system or network or breach any security or authentication; (iv) avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate, impair, descramble or otherwise circumvent any technological measure implemented by Samsara or any of Samsara’s providers or any other third party (including another user) to protect the Samsara Software; (v) transfer, copy, modify, sublicense, lease, lend, rent or otherwise distribute the Firmware to any third party; (vi) unless permitted under applicable law, decipher, disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer any aspect of the Products, in whole or in part; (vii) impersonate or misrepresent an affiliation with any person or entity; (viii) use or access the Products for any competitive purpose; (ix) perform benchmark testing on the Products; (x) use the Products to store or transmit Malicious Code; (xi) use the Products to store, publish, submit/receive, upload/download, post, use, copy, or otherwise produce, transmit, or distribute infringing, libelous, defamatory, harassing, threatening, or otherwise unlawful or tortious material; or to store, publish, submit/receive, upload/download, post, use, copy, or otherwise produce, transmit, or distribute material in violation of third-party privacy rights; (xii) violate any applicable law or regulation; or (xiii) authorize, permit, encourage, or enable any other individual or entity to do any of the foregoing. Samsara has the right to investigate violations of this Section or conduct that affects the Samsara Software Systems and immediately suspend or terminate any or all of Customer’s access to the Samsara Software if it reasonably suspects or determines that Customer has violated this Section. Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Samsara from and against all claims, actions, demands, and legal proceedings, and all liabilities, damages, demands, losses, claims, costs, fees (including legal fees), and expenses in connection with a violation of this Section 5 and any investigation related thereto. Samsara reserves the right to limit or restrict Product access in unsupported countries. Samsara may also consult and cooperate with law enforcement authorities to prosecute users who violate the law.
6. Hardware Installation and Equipment Maintenance. Customer is responsible for installation of the Hardware and ongoing maintenance of any equipment, including but not limited to installation in accordance with any Equipment warranty. Depending on the Customer’s intended use of the Products, Customer may require professional installation of the Hardware or ongoing professional maintenance of any equipment into which Hardware is installed. If Customer is unable to install the Hardware or to conduct such ongoing maintenance, or if Customer is uncertain that Customer has the requisite skills and understanding, Customer agrees to consult with a qualified installer or maintenance professional. Improper installation of the Hardware or maintenance of the equipment into which Hardware is installed can lead to damage of such equipment or dangerous or life-threatening conditions, which can cause property damage, bodily injury, and/or death. Customer may notify Samsara if Customer did not order the correct Hardware cables for Hardware installation. For more information on Samsara's Cable Exchange Policy, please see the Cable Exchange Policy Section of the Hardware Warranty and RMA Policy.

Samsara may change or discontinue all or any part of the Products, including changing, discontinuing, or removing features included in a Samsara Software license, at any time and without notice, at Samsara’s sole discretion. If Samsara discontinues supporting a Hardware model and the associated Samsara Software that you have ordered from Samsara in accordance with these Terms prior to the applicable License Expiration Date without replacing them with an updated or comparable version model, you may terminate the applicable Order Form with respect to the applicable Products and request a Refund for such Products. Updates or upgrades may include security or bug fixes, performance enhancements, or new functionality, and may be issued with or without prior notification to Customer. Customer hereby consents to such automatic updates.
7.2 Pre-Launch Offerings. From time to time, Samsara may in its sole discretion make Pre-Launch Offerings available to Customer for evaluation purposes. Should Customer opt to use a Pre-Launch Offering: Customer agrees to (i) enter into any additional terms required by Samsara for the applicable Pre-Launch Offerings; (ii) assume sole responsibility and all risk, and waive and release Samsara from any claims directly or indirectly arising from or related to the Pre-Launch Offerings; and (iii) without limitation, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Samsara from any third party claims directly or indirectly arising from or related to the Pre-Launch Offering. PRE-LAUNCH OFFERINGS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. Customer acknowledges that Pre-Launch Offerings that may interact, interface, or integrate with third party products and/or services may not be validated or supported by such third parties and may interfere with the operations of or void warranties for such third party products and/or services. Samsara reserves the right to modify, terminate, or discontinue the Pre-Launch Offerings at any time in its sole discretion, for any reason, with or without notice, and without liability to Customer, and has no obligation to make any Pre-Launch Offerings generally available to Samsara customers. If Samsara decides in its sole discretion to make a Pre-Launch Offering generally available to Samsara customers as a new Product or part of an existing Product, Samsara may discontinue making such offering available to Customer as a Pre-Launch Offering at that point in time. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any continued usage after such discontinuation date will require that the Customer purchase or have already purchased the applicable Product under an Order Form and pay any additional amounts owed for such purchase. Except as explicitly set forth otherwise in this Section 7.2, Pre-Launch Offerings are subject to the same terms and conditions as are applicable to a “Product” under these Terms.
7.3 Feedback. Customer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide feedback to Samsara regarding the Products upon request and agrees that Samsara shall have all rights, title, and interest in and to all comments, suggestions, and other feedback (collectively, “Feedback”) provided by Customer to Samsara related to the Products.

Further, unless otherwise set forth herein or in the applicable Order Form, all payments made to Samsara under an Order Form are non-refundable. Samsara may submit Customer contact information and information related to the timeliness of Customer’s payments to credit rating, credit reporting, or similar agencies. If Customer makes a payment without specifying to which invoice it applies, Samsara reserves the right to apply such payment to any outstanding Customer invoice(s). Customer is responsible for all payments of applicable taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction whatsoever (collectively, “Taxes”), however designated or incurred under these Terms. IF Samsara has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, Samsara will invoice Customer, and Customer shall reimburse Samsara for any taxes paid or payable on behalf of Customer. Unless required by applicable law, Samsara will not provide retroactive Tax refunds or credits to Customer.

The total cost of the Samsara Software licenses associated with such Hardware shipped after the initial shipment will be pro-rated based on their actual license term, rounded up to the nearest month, as compared to the full Samsara Software license term under such Order Form. Certain payment amounts set forth in an Order Form assume that all Hardware under such Order Form is shipped at the same time and are subject to potential reduction by Samsara based on the actual schedule of Hardware shipment
9. Accounts. Customer shall be solely responsible for administering and protecting Accounts.
