Your use of our Software indicates your acceptance of these Terms and warranty.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Focus Earth grants to you a limited, exclusive right to use the Software in accordance with these Terms and any other written agreement with Focus Earth.  Focus Earth does not in any way transfer the title of the Software to you or any company.  This agreement is a binding legal agreement between Focus Earth and the users of the Software.

1. DEFINITIONS:
For purposes of these Terms:

1. Customer: Our Customers, also referred to as Users, are those approved to use the Software for their purposes and are current on their payments.  Customers agree to only input data that is accurate for that job.  In the event that the data is not accurate, there is no accountability to Focus Earth.

2. Evaluator: An Evaluator is a limited use licensee.  There is a fixed term that the Evaluator may use and review the Software for a reduced fee before becoming a Customer.  The time that an Evaluator is allowed to review and test the Software shall be determined by the Company.

3. Feedback: Feedback is any communication sent or transmitted including, but not limited to, comments, questions, suggestions, or related materials to Focus Earth, whether by letter, e-mail, telephone, or any other method.  Feedback is not considered privileged or private and may be used at the discretion of the Company, and is wholly owned by Focus Earth.

4. Permitted Uses:  The use of the Software is strictly limited to its permitted uses.  That is the input and review of information pertaining to properties, projects, LED systems, technical specifications, financial estimates, energy reports, orders quotes, invoices and logistic updates.

5. Ranking Penalty:  If any Customer is found to have deliberately entered inaccurate information pertaining to their property, technical specifications or pricing with the intent of garnering a competitive advantage, the Customer will be issued a Ranking Penalty within the Energy Portal, or systematically ejected from the platform.  The severity of the Ranking Penalty will be determined by the Company based on evidence collected in any pertinent circumstances.

6. Services:  Services mean all services made available by Focus Earth, including but not limited to, services accessed through mobile or internet methods, by means of a browser or by other online communication methods.

7. Software:  Software, also referred to as the Platform or Energy Portal, means all of software programs distributed, published or otherwise made available by Focus Earth including, but not limited to, mobile content, downloadable and installable programs and programs accessible by means of a browser or other online communication method.  Software and the Platform also includes updates and upgrades as well as accompanying manual(s), packaging, and other written files, electronic or online materials or documentation, and any and all copies of such software and its materials.  The Platform is currently known as the Energy Portal.  However, Focus Earth retains the right to change the name at any time.  Any such change shall not void these Terms.  All subsequent software provided by Focus Earth shall fall under the same Terms and guidelines.

2. LICENSES
1. Use License:  During the term of this Agreement, provided that Customer is in compliance with these Terms, the Company hereby grants Customer a limited right to use the Software and the components of the Energy Portal to obtain the Services for the Permitted Purpose, unless otherwise specified in the Software documentation.  The rights granted herein are subject to your compliance with these Terms.  You hereby acknowledge that no title or ownership in the Software is being transferred or assigned and these Terms are not to be construed as a sale of any rights in the Software.

2. This right of use is granted to Customer on the condition that Customer does not: (i) sublicense, resell, transfer, distribute or otherwise make the Energy Portal accessible to any third parties; (ii) attempt to reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise take steps to discover the source code of the Energy Portal, or permit any third party to do so or attempt to do so; (iii) access the Service to create, develop or otherwise provide any technology, software or platform similar to or the same as the Energy Portal; (iv) frame or mirror any part of the Service; or (v) provide Energy Portal derived information to independent third party contractors without that contractor being approved by Focus Earth. The Platform may only be used by authorized Users.

3. In consideration of Services performed under this Agreement, Customer will pay all fees specified in Order Forms.  All fees are non-refundable when paid, except as otherwise expressly provided in an Order Form.  Any overdue amounts shall be subject to a finance charge at the rate of 1% per month commencing on the date such amount becomes overdue, or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower.  The pricing during any automatic renewal term will be the same as that during the term immediately prior, unless Focus Earth has given Customer written notice of a pricing increase at least 30 days before the end of that prior term, in which case the pricing increase will be effective upon renewal and thereafter.  Customer will provide Focus Earth with valid and updated credit card information, a valid purchase order or alternative document reasonably acceptable to Focus Earth.  If Customer provides credit card information to the Company, Customer authorizes Focus Earth to charge such credit card for all Services listed in the Order Form for the initial subscription term and any renewal subscription term(s).  Such charges shall be made in advance in accordance with the billing frequency stated in the applicable Order Form.  As the Order Form specifies that payment will be by check, Focus Earth will invoice Customer in advance and otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order Form.  Unless otherwise stated in the Order Form, invoiced charges are due 30 days from the invoice date.  Customer is responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Focus Earth and notifying the Company of any changes to such information.

4. Focus Earth reserves the right to suspend the performance of any and all Services and/or access to the Energy Portal, without penalty or any liability to Customer or its clients, if any invoice remains unpaid (in whole or in part) after the date payment is due until such invoice (including late penalties) is paid in full.  If Services to the Customer are suspended pursuant to this section, fees will continue to accrue during the suspended period and Customer will be obligated to pay the overdue payments as well as the fees accrued during the suspended period.  If any unpaid amounts are referred to collection, including but not limited to any applicable late fees, Customer shall reimburse Focus Earth for all costs and expenses of collection, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs related thereto.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Focus Earth shall have the right to withhold or offset from any amounts, refunds or credits due or payable by the Company pursuant to this Agreement the amount of any and all fees, payments, costs and expenses due to Focus Earth.  

5. All fees due to Focus Earth under the Agreement are exclusive of tax.  Customer agrees to pay and be solely responsible for the payment of any and all sales, use, value-added, transfer, withholding or any other taxes arising under the Agreement (“Taxes”).  All Taxes shall be separately stated on Focus Earth’s invoices.  If the Company has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible hereunder, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer unless Customer provides Focus Earth with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority verifying that Customer is not required to pay those Taxes and is legally exempt. The Customer is required to provide the accurate taxation rates for their area.  Focus Earth shall not be responsible for incorrect taxation amounts where the Customer provided incorrect information.

6. If an Evaluator is granted a no-cost evaluation period, Evaluator covenants that each user in Evaluator’s organization will provide a written report to Focus Earth by email at least once a week.  Such report or any combined reports will contain the following items:

(a) Number of projects where Evaluator used the Platform to perform work;

(b) For each issue encountered, Evaluator will provide the module name, screen name, screenshot of the error code or any visual that displays the issue, as well as a specific description of the issue.  Potential issues include: (i) defects; (ii) unclear labels or explanations; (iii) unexpected behaviors, which may not represent defects, but rather aspects where the Evaluator was expecting something else; (iv) a feature or aspect or the user(s) feels is missing but essential; alternatively;

(c) If no issues are encountered during any week of the test period, Evaluator must still report to Focus Earth each module included in the evaluation period.

7. If an Evaluator fails to perform the covenants and obligations described in this section more than once during the evaluation period, Focus Earth at its sole discretion may immediately cancel the evaluation period.  Thereafter, Evaluator will be responsible for paying the license fees appropriate to the membership level in order to continue using the Platform.

8. Focus Earth’s Obligations:  Provided that Customer is in compliance with all the Terms of this Agreement during the term, Focus Earth will (i) provide Energy Portal access to Customer and any available documentation for Customer's use in obtaining the Service for the Permitted Purpose pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable Order Forms; (ii) provide Focus Earth’s standard support for the purchased Services to Customer at no additional charge; and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to make the online Services available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except for: (A) planned downtime (which Focus Earth shall schedule to the extent practicable during the weekend hours between 6:00 p.m. Friday and 3:00 a.m. Monday Eastern time); and (B) any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond Focus Earth’s reasonable control, including, for example, an act of God, act of government, flood, fire, earthquake, civil unrest, act of terror, strike or other labor problem, Internet service or cloud service provider failure or delay, or ransomware attacks.
