1.0 SUBSCRIPTION TERMS.

1.1 Solution. Your access to and use of the Solution for the given period is defined by a Service SKU that is purchased by You and constitute Your subscription to the Solution for the purpose of this Agreement. The Solution is comprised of Your subscription as described in Your Solution account under subscription section, the Embedded Software (defined below) and the Apps (defined below); but does not include Your internet browser (which serves as the primary access for the Solution) or Gateways (defined below). For the avoidance of doubt, subject to your purchased subscription, the Solution includes without limitation, the Apps, Milestone Kite analytics, algorithms, and applications within the Solution, and upgrades or changes We make to the Solution over time, and all related patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, software, technology, know-how, inventions (whether or not patentable) and all other proprietary and intellectual property (“IP”) rights related thereto.

(a) License. Subject to Your compliance with the terms and conditions in this Agreement and Your payment of any applicable fees, Milestone grants to You a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable and non-assignable license only to install and use the Solution for Your applicable subscription term set forth in Your Solution account; and for no other purpose or under any other condition whatsoever (“License”). The License does not include any permission to create any Modifications (defined below) of or to the Solution.

(c) Embedded Software. The “Embedded Software” is the portion of the Solution that is installed on the Gateway. Subject to Your compliance with the terms and conditions in this Agreement and Your payment of any applicable fees (including purchase of the applicable Gateway), Milestone grants to You a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, and non-assignable license only to use the Embedded Software on the applicable Gateway for the term set forth in Your Solution account for the purpose of Your subscription only and for no other purpose or under any other condition whatsoever (“Embedded Software License”). The Embedded Software License does not include any permission to create any Modifications of or to the Solution. We warrant that the Embedded Software will be substantially free from defects in workmanship and materials under normal use, maintenance and service (“Embedded Software Warranty”), for a period of Your subscription as defined in Your Solution account, however not exceeding the duration of Your Gateway warranty, cf., Section 1.11 (Gateway). Should the Embedded Software fail within this warranty period, Milestone or a third-party on behalf of Milestone shall repair, replace or provide an equivalent product/service, all to be determined in Our sole discretion. To start the Embedded Software Warranty process, You must contact Your Milestone Partner for a technical support case to be raised with Milestone which could result either (i) in the software update as defined in this Section 1.1 (c) or (ii) in the Return Material Authorization process (“RMA”) and RMA number for the failed Embedded Software will be issued. Upon receipt of the failed Embedded Software (remotely accessed by Milestone or a third-party on Milestone’s behalf or sent by You in accordance with the RMA instructions) or in the event that Milestone determines in its sole discretion that it will provide an on-site inspection of the failed Embedded Software, Milestone or a third-party shall inspect such Embedded Software to determine if it is proven to be defective. If the Embedded Software is deemed to be defective (to be determined in Milestone’s sole discretion), Milestone or a third-party on Milestone’s behalf shall either repair, replace or provide an equivalent product/service to You. Your exclusive remedy under the Embedded Software Warranty is to receive repaired or replaced Embedded Software or equivalent product/service, and Milestone’s sole obligation and liability under this Embedded Software Warranty is to ensure You are issued repaired or replaced Embedded Software or equivalent product/service.

(d) Ownership. You acknowledge and agree that Milestone, or its licensors or affiliates, owns all right, title and interest in and to the Solution, including without limitation, all related IP rights, text, data, audio, graphics, files, interfaces, algorithms, other information and materials originating in the Solution, and any translations, improvements, corrections, adaptations, derivatives, enhancements, changes, additions, revisions and other modifications (collectively, the “Modifications”) made to the Solution. All rights in and to the Solution not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved to Milestone and its licensors, and no additional licenses are granted or implied hereunder.

(e) Your Solution Account. Your Solution account describes the terms of Your subscriptions, locations where You will use the Solution, data retention period, restrictions and responsibilities, and other subscription details.

In order to implement, access and use the Solution, You need to work with Your Milestone Partner (defined as Your Milestone reseller or the company that orders via a Milestone Distributor Partner and helps you to select and manage Your subscription for the Solution, necessary hardware, installation, maintenance, infrastructure and/or support) to assist in ordering, selecting, managing, installing and setting up Your subscription, hardware and network and providing support and maintenance if You have any issues with the Solution. With respect to the Solution and the Gateway, You agree and acknowledge that, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing separately between You and Your Milestone Partner, in no event will Your Milestone Partner be deemed to add or grant You any warranty which is greater than those described in this Agreement solely by virtue of the fact that Your Milestone Partner has acted in a capacity of integrator or reseller to You, nor will it be deemed to assume any liability in excess of what Milestone assumes under this Agreement, except in a case of Your Milestone Partner’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence. In particular, You agree that the exclusions and limitation of liability under Section 1.11 (Gateway) and Section 4.0 (Disclaimers; Limitations of Liability; Indemnification) shall operate to the benefit of Your Milestone Partner to the same extent such provisions operate to the benefit of Milestone. Milestone is not responsible for ordering, selecting, setting up or managing Your cameras or network infrastructure, and You are responsible for ensuring You have the necessary systems, hardware, software, cameras and network connectivity necessary to use the Solution.

This Agreement exclusively governs Your access to and use of the Solution, and any legal terms agreed between You and a Milestone Partner concerning the Solution or Your subscription will have no legal force or effect on Milestone and Your subscription. Milestone is not a party to the supply and/or service agreement between You and Your Milestone Partner and, therefore, Milestone is not subject to and Milestone is not responsible for the terms of such agreement, neither directly nor indirectly. The terms and conditions under which the Solution is provided to You by Milestone are defined by this Agreement solely.

1.8 Other Services. You may refer to Your Milestone Partner to help select and purchase software and hardware, install and set up cameras and network infrastructure, implement and configure the Solution, and to provide support and maintenance if You have any issues.

1.9 Exceeding Subscription Parameters. Your Solution account describes terms of Your subscription, including the maximum number of subscriptions to be used with the Solution, maximum storage constraints, resolution necessary to be used with the Solution, video and analytics data retention period, analytics usage, and other subscription-specific information, all of which determines the price for the subscription. If You exceed any of the limits described in Your Solution account, or change settings in such a way that would increase parameters of Your subscription and/or Milestone’s costs of providing the Solution, then Your Milestone Partner or Milestone will contact You to adjust Your subscription terms or otherwise address the matter. If We are unable to agree on adjusted terms, Milestone may limit Your use of the Solution.

1.10 Solution Integrity. You are prohibited from breaching or attempting to breach any security features of the Solution, or from accessing it in ways other than those provided by Milestone. This prohibition includes without limitation: (a) accessing content or materials not intended for You, or logging on to an account that You are not authorized to access; (b) attempting to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Solution unless We have given You prior written permission to do so; or (c) accessing or attempting to access the Solution by any means (automated or otherwise) other than through the currently-available, published and enabled interfaces provided by Milestone. You must not simulate the appearance or function of the Solution, or try to distribute it as Your own product, or remove any IP rights notices in the Solution.

1.11 Gateway. In order to use the Solution, a Milestone gateway hardware device with the Embedded Software (the “Gateway”) must be purchased from Your Milestone Partner. If You have purchased a Gateway from Your Milestone Partner, We warrant the Gateway will be substantially free from defects in workmanship and materials under normal use, maintenance and service (“Gateway Warranty”), for a period of five (5) years which begins on the date the Gateway is delivered to You. Should a Gateway fail within this warranty period, Milestone or a third-party on behalf of Milestone shall repair, replace or provide an equivalent product/service, all to be determined in Our sole discretion. To start the Gateway Warranty process, You shall contact Your Milestone Partner to initiate a technical support case and, if necessary, a Return Material Authorization (“RMA”) number for the failed Gateway will be issued. Upon receipt of the failed Gateway (sent by You in accordance with the RMA instructions) or in the event that Milestone determines in its sole discretion that it will provide an on-site inspection of the failed Gateway, Milestone or a third-party shall inspect such Gateway to determine if it is proven to be defective. If the Gateway is deemed to be defective (to be determined in Milestone or the third-party’s sole discretion), Milestone or a third-party shall either repair, replace or provide an equivalent product/service to You. Your exclusive remedy under the Gateway Warranty is to receive a repaired or replaced Gateway or equivalent product/service, and Milestone sole obligation and liability under this Gateway Warranty is to ensure You are issued a repaired or replaced Gateway or equivalent product/service. Returns of a Gateway without prior authorization by Milestone (via a RMA number) will be refused. No RMAs will be issued after five (5) years from the date the Gateway was delivered to You. The Gateway Warranty is null and void if You do not remain a continuing subscriber of the Solution from the date the Gateway was delivered to You. The Gateway Warranty does not cover: (a) any Gateway that was provided on an unpaid or free basis; (b) defects to the Gateway due to accident, abuse, unauthorized use, service, alteration, modification or improper installation or configuration by You, Your personnel, or any third-party not engaged by Us; or (c) defects based on Your failure to use the Gateway in accordance with its documentation and this Agreement. You acknowledge and accept that possible new functions and capabilities added to the Solution during the duration of Your subscription may not be compatible with Your Gateway and/or the Embedded Software, and hence not available to You, until the Gateway has been upgraded to a newer version. Any such required upgrade of the Gateway is not covered by this Gateway Warranty.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Gateway defined herein excludes any third-party equipment or other hardware not purchased from Milestone, directly or through Your Milestone Partner. The Solution cannot be used with non-Milestone gateway devices. The use of any non-Milestone gateways is on Your responsibility; neither Milestone nor Your Milestone Partner will assume any liability, responsibility whatsoever, with respect to, including, without limitation, Your use, non-use, the warranties and obligations under this Agreement or Service Level Agreement.

1.12 Open Source. Certain components or libraries included in the Solution may be covered by open source licenses.

You shall comply with such open-source license agreements.

2.1 Duty. The Party receiving (“Receiving Party”) Confidential Information (defined below) from the Party disclosing (“Disclosing Party”) Confidential Information, will take reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure and unauthorized use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information with the same degree of care, but no less than reasonable care, as used to protect the Receiving Party’s own Confidential Information of similar nature. The Receiving Party will limit the distribution and communication of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to employees, affiliates, subsidiaries, subcontractors (including in the case of Milestone, Arcus Holding A/S and Arcules Inc.), or other agents of the Receiving Party, who have a need to know such Confidential Information in order to perform its duties under this Agreement and have confidentiality obligations and restrictions at least as strong as the ones in this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall not disassemble, reverse engineer, or otherwise decompile any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

2.2 Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means any non-public, proprietary or confidential information provided by the Disclosing Party, either directly or indirectly, to the Receiving Party under this Agreement that: (a) if in tangible or written information or materials, is marked as “confidential” (or with words of similar meaning) or that should reasonably be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and circumstances of its disclosure; and (b) any disclosed information (whether disclosed orally or otherwise) that is reasonably understood to be confidential or proprietary. Your Confidential Information includes without limitation, Your Content and Access Information. Milestone Confidential Information includes without limitation, the Solution, Milestone software in the Gateways, No-Charge Offerings (defined below), specifications, development plans, related information and IP rights therein.

2.4 Compelled and Other Disclosure. If the Receiving Party is required, pursuant to a legal proceeding or other legal or regulatory requirement, to disclose any Disclosing Party Confidential Information (or Your Content, in the case of Milestone’s compelled disclosure by a governmental entity), reasonable prior notice will be given to Disclosing Party in order to contest, seek a protective order, or otherwise limit such disclosure. The Receiving Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party’s application for a protective order or other remedy, and the Receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that the Receiving Party is legally required to disclose. Either Party may disclose this Agreement or the terms herein to such Party’s financial and legal advisers and current and potential lenders, acquirors and investors under written terms of confidentiality. Nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement will be construed to preclude either Party from: (a) compliance with disclosure obligations imposed by the securities laws or regulations of any government entity or public stock exchange, and each Party consents to disclosures as required by such laws or regulations; or (b) disclosing this Agreement or the terms herein to such Party’s financial and legal advisers and current and potential lenders, acquirors and investors, under written terms of confidentiality.

3.0 Payment.

3.1 Payments.

4.3 Indemnification.

(a) By Milestone. If a claim by a third-party is brought against You that alleges that the Solution, as made available to You, infringes any IP Right in your country, or that an action by Milestone resulted in bodily injury, death, or physical property damage, then Milestone will defend You against the claim, and indemnify You against any damages that are confined in a final award or judgement against You by a court of competent jurisdiction to the benefit of the infringed third party or agreed in a written settlement negotiated and approved by Milestone. This protection extends to You and Your officers, directors and employees (“Your Indemnified Party(ies)”). If such a claim is made against You, You must provide Milestone with: (i) written notice of the claim within 20 days of receiving notice of a claim; (ii) all necessary assistance, information and authority necessary for Milestone to defend the claim and perform its obligations under this Section 4.3 (at Milestone’s expense); and (iii) sole control of the defense of such claim and all associated settlement negotiations. Milestone may not settle any claim against You that does not fully and unconditionally release Your Indemnified Parties from any liability for the indemnified claim. If a claim of IP right infringement is made or appears likely to be made with respect to the Solution, Milestone may, at its expense and sole choice, enable You to continue to use the affected Solution, modify it to make it non-infringing, replace all or portions of the Solution with a substantially functional, non-infringing equivalent, or terminate this Agreement in whole or with respect to the affected Solution and provide You with a prorata refund of pre-paid fees paid based on the effective date of termination and the then remaining term of the applicable subscription, if any (the refund may be through Your Milestone Partner). However, no refund will be provided for the Gateway. For purposes of clarification, the indemnifications set forth in this Section will be provided by Milestone directly to You.

(b) Exclusions From IP Indemnification. Milestone will have no liability or responsibility to defend or indemnify Your Indemnified Parties under Section 4.3(a) for any IP infringement claim based upon: (i) any information, data, component or application that is not exclusively owned by or licensed to Milestone (including without limitation, uploaded video recordings, video and analytics data, and Other Applications); (ii) any Modification of the Solution by a party other than Milestone; (iii) Your use of the Solution in combination with any non-Milestone product, software, service or equipment, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such combination; (iv) the use of other than the latest release of the Solution if such claim could have been avoided by use of the latest unmodified release; (v) Your continuance of allegedly infringing activity after being notified about the infringement claim, or after being notified of Modifications (to be made at no cost) that would have avoided the alleged infringement; (vi) Your unauthorized use of the Solution; or (vii) if You settle or make any admissions with respect to a claim without Milestone’s prior written consent.

(c) By You. If a claim by a third-party is brought against Milestone or its affiliates, licensors of the Solution to Milestone, Your Milestone Partner, and their respective officers, directors, employees, or agents (“Milestone Indemnitees”) alleging damages arising from Your violation of Sections 1.4 (Unauthorized Use), 1.5 (Access Information and Other Users), 1.7 (Your Responsibilities), Your access control configurations, or Your collection of video and analytics data that is not in compliance with applicable laws, then You will defend the Milestone Indemnitees against the claim, and indemnify and hold harmless the Milestone Indemnitees against any damages that might result. In the event of such a claim, Milestone will provide You with: (i) prompt written notice of the claim; (ii) all necessary assistance, information and authority necessary for You to defend the claim (at Your expense); and (iii) sole control of the defense of such claim and all associated settlement negotiations. You may not settle any claim that does not fully and unconditionally release the Milestone Indemnitees from any and all liability for the indemnified claim.
