For the purpose of this Agreement, you and, if applicable, such company (or other entity) constitute “Customer” or “you”.

The “Effective Date” of this Agreement is the date you register for an Account and agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, KYZENTREE reserves the right to suspend your account and access to the Kt-Pulse Software in the event you fail to meet your payment obligations as set forth in this Agreement.

 

 

1.2      Account Information

You agree to provide accurate information and promptly update your account if it changes. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your user passwords, IDs, and other credentials and login information (collectively, “Passwords”), and you agree that KYZENTREE has no liability with respect to the use of any Passwords. You acknowledge that Passwords are personal to each user or team, and you are responsible for ensuring that each Password is used only by the applicable user or team. Team logins are permitted in two instances

• for accessing the Kt-Pulse Analytics through shared desktop computers or laptops for use in general manufacturing areas. Generic analytics accounts are limited to one per department

If you permit others to access or use your Account or you set up Team Accounts to permit users to access the Kt-Pulse Collector App or the Kt-Pulse Analytics, you are responsible for the activities of such users that occur in connection with your Account or the Team Accounts.

 

1.3      Seats

The Kt-Pulse Software cannot be used without the relevant license activation seats (“Seats”), which will (i) be tied to your manufacturing plant’s account, (ii) permit access to the Kt-Pulse Software for a certain number of active devices (data collectors) and users, depending on the number of Seats purchased, as further described in the Kt-Pulse Software and in licensing emails sent to the administrator for your plant, and (iii) self-expire and lockout the Kt-Pulse Software at the end of your Subscription Period or Free Trial Period (as defined below), unless otherwise renewed.

A seat is defined as a workstation or manufacturing process to which an android or iOS device containing the Kt-Pulse app (known as a “Data Collector”) is set up with a unique link key, and whereby the workstation is activated to send and receive data to/from the data collector app.

Kyzentree acknowledges and agrees that Customers shall be permitted to deactivate an existing workstation and activate a new workstation within the plant to monitor an alternative manufacturing process. In such instances, the overall number of seats does not increase and therefore, there is no increase in the Subscription Fees.

At the option of the Customer and subject to receipt of a valid purchase order, Kyzentree will source and supply the data collector hardware (tablets or iPads, gooseneck holders, screen protectors, shell casings and charging cables) for the performance of the Services on the Customer’s behalf.

The Customer shall ensure that the hardware supplied shall only be utilised for accessing the Kt-Pulse Software or other work related activities.

As a trial customer, you have access to the same online training materials as commercial customers and receive support from the Kyzentree Customer Success team to ensure that you can maximise the use of the Kt-Pulse Services during the trial period.

11.3.1     Binding Arbitration

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, including the formation, interpretation, breach or termination thereof, including whether the claims asserted are arbitrable, will be referred to and finally determined by arbitration in accordance with the JAMS International Arbitration Rules.

This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland, exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules. Nothing in this clause will preclude the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

Either party may commence arbitration by providing to JAMS and the other party to the dispute a written demand for arbitration, setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested.

 

11.3.2     Service of Process

Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process through personal service at their corporate headquarters or manufacturing plant address. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

The parties, witnesses, and arbitrator will treat as confidential and will not disclose to any third person (other than witnesses or experts) any documentary or other evidence produced in any arbitration hereunder, except as required by Law or except if such evidence was obtained from the public domain or was otherwise obtained independently from the arbitration.

 

11.4  Independent Contractors

Neither party will, for any purpose, be deemed to be an agent, franchisor, franchise, employee, representative, owner or partner of the other party, and the relationship between the parties will only be that of independent contractors.
