4.2. Remedies. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and Kisi’s (and its suppliers’ and licensors') sole and exclusive liability for a breach of the Hardware Warranty will be, in Kisi’s sole discretion, to replace the non-conforming Hardware. Replacement may be made with a new or refurbished product or components. If the Hardware or a component within it is no longer available, then Kisi may replace the Hardware unit with a similar product of similar function. Any Hardware unit that has been replaced under the Hardware Warranty will be covered by the terms of the Hardware Warranty for the longer of (a) 90 days from the date of the delivery, or (b) the remainder of the original Hardware Warranty period.
4.3. Exclusions. The Hardware Warranty does not extend to any non-Kisi proprietary equipment or end of life equipment.

Non-Kisi proprietary equipment would be subjected to the warranty terms and conditions of the manufacturer.
Kisi will not be liable for malfunctions on the Hardware once the warranty expires. You will need to purchase new Hardware if you need a replacement on any part of your Kisi system. You will also be liable for any installation costs associated with replacing your existing Hardware with a new one.
In the event that a new version of the Hardware is released by Kisi, it will be made available to the Customer for purchase. The Hardware Warranty does not extend to devices that have been de-commissioned or devices that have reached their end-of-life. 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. To initiate a return of a Product purchased directly from Kisi directly to Kisi, Customer or Partner must send a return request to Kisi at support@getkisi.com and clearly state details on where and when Customer purchased the Hardware, the serial numbers of the applicable Hardware unit(s), Customer’s reason for returning the Hardware, and Customer’s name, mailing address, email address, and daytime phone number.

7.2. Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement or any License Term for cause (i) upon 30 days written notice to the other party of a material breach if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of the 30-day period, or (ii) if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (iii) for breaches of confidentiality or prohibited uses Kisi reserves the right to terminate immediately.
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. Except as explicitly excluded below, any information of a confidential or proprietary nature provided by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”) constitutes the Disclosing Party’s confidential and proprietary information (“Confidential Information”). Kisi’s Confidential Information includes the Products and any information conveyed to Customer in connection with Support. Customer’s Confidential Information includes Customer Data. 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.

Kisi will pay any damages finally awarded against any Customer Indemnitees by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of any such Claim, or any final settlement of such Claim, so long as Customer (i) gives Kisi prompt written notice of the Claim, (ii) gives Kisi sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (provided that Kisi may not settle any Claim without the Customer Indemnitee’s written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld), and (iii) provides to Kisi all reasonable assistance, at Kisi’s request and expense.

Kisi will have no indemnification obligations under this Section 11.1 to the extent that a Claim is based on or arises from: (a) use of the Products in a manner other than as expressly permitted in this Agreement; (b) any alteration or modification of the Products except as expressly authorized by Kisi; (c) the combination of the Products with any other software, product, or services (to the extent that the alleged infringement arises from such combination); or (d) where the Claim arises out of specifications provided by Customer.

Customer will pay any settlement of and any damages finally awarded against any Kisi Indemnitee by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of any such Claim so long as Kisi (i) gives Customer prompt written notice of the Claim, (ii) gives Customer sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (provided that Customer may not settle any Claim without Kisi’s prior written consent which will not be unreasonably withheld), and (iii) provides to Customer all reasonable assistance, at Customer’s request and expense.

12.3. Liability Cap. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO EXCLUDED CLAIMS AND CUSTOMER’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION IN SECTION 8 OF THE MONITORING SERVICES ADDENDUM (if applicable), IN NO EVENT WILL THE COLLECTIVE LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS, AGENTS AND REPRESENTATIVES, TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY AND ALL DAMAGES, INJURIES, AND LOSSES ARISING FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF, BASED ON, RESULTING FROM, OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER TO KISI UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE 24-MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE CLAIM.

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.
