5. PROMETHA® App & Services. Cleaver-Brooks, Inc. is a complete boiler room solutions provider. Cleaver-Brooks’ boiler room equipment include electronic controls, which allow users to monitor and analyze performance data from the boiler room systems they purchase from Cleaver-Brooks. Cleaver-Brooks also provides boiler control equipment that can be used to monitor boiler room equipment, as do other third-party providers. Cleaver-Brooks has developed the App and Services so that Cleaver-Brooks and its authorized users can collect and analyze data from boiler room equipment via the software-as-a-service App branded as PROMETHA®. The App does not control the operation of any boiler room equipment. It simply provides information that can be used to better understand and optimize operations.
6. GRANT OF LICENSE. Subject to the terms of any applicable purchase order, Cleaver-Brooks grants you and your authorized employee users a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable license to access and use the App and Services for the sole purpose of remotely monitoring your boiler room equipment (“Equipment”).

All such use will be at your sole risk.
8. EQUIPMENT, HARDWARE & CONNECTIVITY. Many of Cleaver-Brooks’ models of equipment are provided with the hardware necessary to connect to the App. However, some model(s) of Cleaver-Brooks’ equipment and equipment manufactured by others will not connect to the App unless you, at your sole cost and expense, purchase and install additional hardware that will allow you to connect your Equipment to the App. While Cleaver-Brooks will provide access to the App, you are responsible, at your sole expense, for procuring and maintaining equipment and hardware, power, internet service, cellular service and any other items necessary for you and your authorized users to access and use the App and Services.

11. TERM OF LICENSE.

15. FORCE MAJEURE. Except for your obligation to make payment hereunder, neither party shall be in default if its delay or failure to perform any obligation hereunder is caused solely by supervening conditions beyond that party’s reasonable control, including acts of God, pandemic, civil commotion, strikes, labor disputes, third-party attacks and governmental demands or requirements (a “Force Majeure Event”); provided that, in order to be excused from any such delay or failure to perform, such party must immediately notify the other party upon the commencement of the Force Majeure Event, and act diligently to remedy the cause of such delay or failure.

21. INDEMNIFICATION. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Cleaver-Brooks and its affiliates, employees, agents, representatives and third party service providers, for any and all claims, demands, actions, liability, fines, penalties and expenses, whether based on warranty, contract, negligence, strict liability or otherwise, that may arise from any of your acts (or those of your authorized users or contractors) through the use of the App. Such acts may include but are not limited to: submissions, misuse of the App, unauthorized use of the App or data contained therein, or breach the terms of these Terms and Conditions or any applicable law.
22. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the App, the Services, the Data or these Terms and Conditions promptly by negotiation between representatives from each party who have authority to settle the controversy. Either party may give the other party written notice of any dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. Within 15 days after delivery of the notice, the receiving party shall submit to the other a written response. The notice and response shall include (a) a statement of that party’s position and a summary of arguments supporting that position, and (b) the name and title of the representative who will represent that party and of any other person who will accompany the executive. Within 30 days after delivery of the initial notice, the executives of both parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the dispute. All reasonable requests for information made by one party to the other will be honored. All negotiations pursuant to this paragraph are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. If the dispute has not been resolved by negotiation as provided herein within 45 days after delivery of the initial notice of negotiation, or if the parties failed to meet within 30 days of the notice, the parties shall endeavor to settle the dispute by non-binding mediation under the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution (“CPR”) Mediation Procedure currently in effect, provided, however, that if one party fails to participate in the negotiation as provided herein, the other party can initiate mediation prior to the expiration of the 45 days. Unless otherwise agreed, the parties will select a mediator from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals. If the dispute has not been resolved by mediation as provided herein within 45 days after initiation of the mediation procedure, this Agreement does not preclude either party from initiating litigation; provided, however, that if one party fails to participate in either the negotiation or mediation as agreed herein, the other party can initiate litigation prior to the expiration of the time periods set forth above. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a party may file a complaint if in its sole judgment such action is necessary to protect its rights. Despite such action, the parties will continue to negotiate in good faith. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America or the courts of the State of Georgia in each case located in the City of Thomasville and County of Thomas, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding.
23. CLASS ACTION WAIVER. ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS, THE APP, THE SERVICES, OR THE COLLECTION, USE, DISCLOSURE, LOSS OR MISUSE OF DATA SHALL BE RESOLVED ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 22 ABOVE. YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CLEAVER-BROOKS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE PLATFORM OR THE COLLECTION, USE, DISCLOSURE, LOSS OR MISUSE OF DATA.
24. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THESE TERMS, TOGETHER WITH CLEAVER-BROOKS’ PRIVACY POLICY AND ANY PURCHASE ORDERS, REPRESENT THE COMPLETE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CLEAVER-BROOKS AND YOU RELATING TO THE APP, THE SERVICES, THE DATA, AND ANY LICENSES GRANTED HEREIN. CLEAVER-BROOKS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MODIFY OR UPDATE THESE TERMS OF USE AND ITS PRIVACY POLICY BY PUBLISHING UPDATED VERSIONS OF THEM ON THE APP. BY ACKNOWLEDGING ANY UPDATED TERMS AND/OR CONTINUING TO USE THE APP AFTER UPDATES ARE PUBLISHED, YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE TO BE BOUND BY SUCH UPDATED TERMS. NO ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT TERM OR CONDITION STATED BY YOU OR YOUR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE BINDING UNLESS AGREED BY THE CLEAVER-BROOKS IN WRITING. No course of prior dealings and no usage of the trade shall be relevant to supplement or explain any terms used herein.
25. CONSTRUCTION OF TERMS. Each party had the opportunity to review these Terms and to consult legal counsel, therefore the terms of this Agreement will not be construed against either party as the drafter of the Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Georgia without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Georgia or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Georgia. The failure of the Company to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms and conditions stated herein shall not be considered a continuing waiver of any such term or condition or any of the Company’s rights. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.
26. CONSENT TO RECEIVE ELECTRONIC NOTIFICATIONS. Electronic communication is the most effective and timely way to provide the users of the App with any optional or required notifications and disclosures. In some circumstances, however, state and/or federal laws may require us to send you disclosures or communications in paper format unless you have affirmatively consented to receiving electronic notifications only in advance of the notification. Through this Agreement, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 7001, you hereby affirmatively consent to receive electronic notifications and disclosures from us only (without requiring a paper copy) and you represent that, to date, you have not withdrawn such consent. You have the right to change your mind and withdraw your consent at any time. If you would like to withdraw your consent to receive electronic notifications and/or would like to request a paper copies of any electronic notifications you receive, please contact: privacy@prometha.com. To receive electronic records, you will need access to a smart phone, tablet, laptop or computer with Internet access and either email software (such as Microsoft Outlook) or access to a web-based electronic mail software platform, such as Gmail, Yahoo or other electronic mail provider.
27. SEVERABILITY. If any term or provision in these Terms and Conditions is found to be void, against public policy, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction and such finding or order becomes final with all appeals exhausted, then the offending provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable. If the offending provision cannot be so modified, then the same shall be deemed stricken from these Terms and Conditions in its entirety and the remainder of these Terms and Conditions shall survive with the offending provision eliminated.
28. THESE TERMS MAY BE MODIFIED. Cleaver-Brooks may modify these Terms at any time, with the modifications to be effective with respect to the App and Services as soon as any updates are posted in the App. Your continued use of the App and the Services following any such modifications constitutes your acceptance of those modifications. You are responsible for reviewing these Terms periodically and understanding them in exchange for your license to use the App.
