Replacement may be made with a new or refurbished product or components.

Kisi will be required to send notification of any intention to de-commission any Hardware.
4.4. Returns. Customer may return Products purchased directly from Kisi within 30 days from the date of the applicable Purchase Order for any reason. Thereafter, to request a return under the Hardware Warranty, Customer must notify Kisi or, if the Products were purchased from a Partner, the Customer must notify the Partner, within the Hardware Warranty period.

7.3. Effect of Termination. If Customer terminates this Agreement or any License Term in accordance with Section 7.2, then Kisi will refund Customer a pro rata portion of any prepaid fees allocable to the remaining License Term. The following provisions will survive any expiration or termination of the Agreement: Sections 8, 9, 10, 12, and 13, and any other provisions that, by their nature, would reasonably be considered intended to survive.
8.1. Confidential Information.

Confidential Information does not include information which is (i) already known by the receiving party without an obligation of confidentiality other than pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) publicly known or becomes publicly known through no unauthorized act of the Receiving Party; (iii) rightfully received from a third party without a confidentiality obligation to the Disclosing Party; or (iv) independently developed by the Receiving Party without access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.
8.2. Confidentiality Obligations. Each party will use the Confidential Information of the other party only as necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, will not disclose the Confidential Information to any third party, and will protect the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information with the same standard of care as the Receiving Party uses or would use to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event will the Receiving Party use less than a reasonable standard of care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may share the other party’s Confidential Information with those of its employees, agents and representatives who have a need to know such information and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those contained herein (each, a “Representative”). Each party shall be responsible for any breach of confidentiality by any of its Representatives.
8.3. Additional Exclusions. A Receiving Party will not violate its confidentiality obligations if it discloses the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information if required by applicable laws, including by court subpoena or similar instrument so long as the Receiving Party provides the Disclosing Party with written notice of the required disclosure so as to allow the Disclosing Party to contest or seek to limit the disclosure or obtain a protective order. If no protective order or other remedy is obtained, the Receiving Party will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required, and agrees to exercise reasonable efforts to ensure that confidential treatment will be accorded to the Confidential Information so disclosed.

Customer and Kisi are independent contractors, and this Agreement will not establish any relationship of partnership, joint venture, or agency between Customer and Kisi. Failure to exercise any right under this Agreement will not constitute a waiver. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement. This Agreement is governed by the laws of New York without reference to conflicts of law rules. Any notice provided by one party to the other under this Agreement will be in writing and sent either (i) by overnight courier or certified mail (receipt requested), in the case of Customer to Customer’s address on record in Kisi’s account information and in the case of Kisi Incorproated, to 45 Main Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201, or (ii) by electronic mail to Customer’s email address on record in Kisi’s account information or to Kisi at legal@getkisi.com. If any provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable, the Agreement will be construed as if such provision had not been included. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior, written consent of the other party, except that either party may assign this Agreement without such consent in connection with an acquisition of the assigning party or a sale of all or substantially all of its assets. In the event of an assignment by Customer in connection with an acquisition of Customer or a sale of all or substantially all of Customer’s assets, Customer’s License may be transferred to the party acquiring Customer or purchasing all or substantially all of its assets, subject to Kisi’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
A party will not be liable for any failure to perform caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control which would otherwise make such performance commercially impractical including, but not limited to, acts of God, fire, flood, acts of war, government action, accident, labor difficulties or shortage, inability to obtain materials, equipment or transportation (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). If a Force Majeure Event lasts longer than five (5) business days, the parties will meet to determine if performance under the Agreement can resume as agreed. If the parties cannot agree, then Kisi may terminate the applicable Purchase Order or this Agreement.
If any disputes arise, the parties will first attempt to resolve the dispute informally via good faith negotiation. If the dispute has not been resolved after 30 days, the parties will resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator administered by JAMS, its successors and assigns, in New York County, New York, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, and pursuant to its arbitration rules. Each party will be responsible for paying any arbitration fees in accordance with the foregoing rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator may include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of its data security, intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights.
