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.

If you do not agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then you may not continue to use the Products.

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 applicable 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).

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.

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. 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 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 offering to replace them with an updated or comparable version or 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.  Customer shall and hereby does irrevocably transfer and assign to Samsara all right, title, and interest it may have in such Feedback to Samsara, and Samsara hereby accepts such transfer.

Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Order Form, (i) fees are payable by wire transfer; (ii) all transfers are subject to a processing fee up to 3%, subject to applicable law, unless the wire transfer is initiated by Samsara via ACH, in which case the processing fee will be waived; (iii) late payments are subject to a 1.5% per month late fee; and (iv) if license payments are delinquent by 30 days, Samsara may suspend the Service until late payments are remitted. 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. Subject to applicable legal requirements, any Tax refund or credits provided to Customer shall be at Samsara’s sole discretion, and Samsara reserves the right to charge the Customer reasonable fees and costs associated with processing such Tax refund or credit.

8.2 Shipment and Delivery. All shipments are FOB (2010) Origin, Freight Prepaid, and Charged Back.

Samsara may ship Hardware under an Order Form subject to a schedule as mutually agreed between the Parties or as determined by Samsara. If Hardware under an Order Form is shipped in multiple shipments, the Samsara Software license term associated with Hardware shipped after the initial shipment will be set to expire on the same date as the Samsara Software license term associated with Hardware shipped in the initial shipment. 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. Customer agrees to provide access to the licensed Samsara Software only to Authorized Users, and to require such Authorized Users to keep Account login information, including user names and passwords, strictly confidential and not provide such Account login information to any unauthorized parties. Customer is solely responsible for monitoring and controlling access to the licensed Samsara Software and maintaining the confidentiality of Account login information and any provided API tokens. In the event that Customer or any Authorized User becomes aware that the security of any Account login information has been compromised, Customer shall immediately notify Samsara and de-activate such Account or change the Account’s login information. Authorized Users may only use the licensed Samsara Software strictly on behalf of Customer and subject to the terms and conditions applicable to Customer herein. Customer is responsible and liable for any breach by an Authorized User of his or her obligations hereunder.

Samsara will maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Customer Data. Samsara will not share Customer Data without Customer consent, except when the release of data is compelled by law or permitted herein.

If the applicable Samsara Software license terminates or expires and Customer does not renew, the applicable Customer Data may be immediately deleted.

10.2 Customer Data Representation and Warranty. Customer represents and warrants that: (i) Customer will obtain all rights and provide any disclosures to or obtain any consents, approvals, authorizations and/or agreements from any employee or third party that are necessary for Samsara to collect, use, and share Customer Data in accordance with these Terms (ii) no Customer Data infringes upon or violates any individual or entity's intellectual property rights, privacy, publicity or other proprietary rights and (iii) Customer will adhere to all applicable state, federal and local laws and regulations in the conduct of its business in relation to Samsara and its receipt and use of the Products.

To the extent connectivity data is included in a Samsara Software license, connectivity between the applicable Hardware and the licensed Samsara Software does not count towards the included connectivity data cap. Samsara reserves the right to limit access to personal entertainment streaming services through the Hardware connectivity. Connectivity data usage above any included connectivity data cap may result in the reduction of connection speeds, the restriction of connectivity, the interruption of connectivity, or some combination thereof.
