These FlatPeak Terms of Service (the ‘Agreement’) are entered into by and between FlatPeak Technology Ltd, a Company registered in England and Wales, Company number 08021484 (‘FlatPeak’), whose business address is 24 Greville Street London, EC1N 8SS, United Kingdom, and the entity agreeing to these terms (‘Customer’).

This Agreement is effective as of the date that you create the Subscription or, if applicable, the date that the Agreement is countersigned (the ‘Effective Date’).

If you are accepting on behalf of your employer or another entity, you represent and warrant that: (i) you have the full legal authority to bind your employer or the applicable entity to these terms and conditions; (ii) you have read and understood this Agreement; and (iii) you agree to this Agreement on behalf of the party that you represent. If you don’t have the legal authority to bind your employer or the applicable entity, please do not start the Subscription (or, if applicable, do not sign this Agreement). This Agreement governs the Customer’s access to and use of the Services as ordered in the Dashboard.

From time to time, FlatPeak may modify this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified by FlatPeak, changes become effective for the Customer upon renewal of the Customer’s current Subscription (as defined below) or entry into a new Subscription.

FlatPeak will use reasonable efforts to notify the Customer of the changes via the notices displayed in the Dashboard, email or other means. The Customer may be required to click to accept or otherwise agree to the modified Agreement before renewing a Subscription or entering into a new Subscription, and in any event, continued use of the Services after the updated version of this Agreement goes into effect will constitute the Customer acceptance of such updated version.

If FlatPeak specifies that changes to the Agreement will take effect prior to the Customer’s next renewal or order (such as for legal compliance or product change reasons) and Customer objects to such changes, Customer may terminate the applicable Subscription and receive as its sole remedy a refund of any fees Customer has pre-paid for use of the applicable Services for the terminated portion of the Subscription.

BY INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY ALL TERMS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES CONTAINED OR REFERENCED IN THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT, PLEASE DO NOT USE ANY Services. FOR CLARITY, EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS LEGALLY BINDING UPON IT.

The Services are designed to enable the Customer to identify the energy tariff of End-Users, provide cost of energy analytics and optimise scheduling of energy consumption and exports. The Customer may import and export Customer Data between the Services, its own systems and Third-Party Platforms through supported integrations and FlatPeak APIs.

2.2. Provision of Services. The Services are provided by FlatPeak to the Customer on a subscription basis as set out in the Subscription that is accessible via the Dashboard.

2.3. Access to Services. The Customer may consume the Services solely for its own benefit and in accordance with this Agreement, the Documentation and any scope of use restrictions designated in the applicable Subscription. If the Customer is given API keys or passwords to access the Services on FlatPeak’s systems, the Customer will require that all Dashboard Users keep API keys, user ID and password information strictly confidential and not share such information with any unauthorized persons. User IDs are granted to individuals and named persons and may not be shared. If the Customer is accessing the Services using credentials provided by a third party (e.g., Google, Apple or Microsoft auth), then the Customer will comply with all applicable terms and conditions of such third party regarding provisioning and use of such credentials. The Customer will be responsible for any and all actions taken using the Customer’s accounts and passwords.

If any Dashboard User who has access to a user ID is no longer an employee (or Contractor, as set forth below) of the Customer, then the Customer will immediately delete such user ID and otherwise terminate such Dashboard User’s access to the Service.

Customer must implement FlatPeak Code on the Customer Properties in order to enable features of the Services. The Customer will implement all FlatPeak Code in strict accordance with the Documentation and other instructions provided by FlatPeak. Customer acknowledges that any changes made to the Customer Properties after the initial implementation of FlatPeak Code may cause the Services to cease working or function improperly and that FlatPeak will have no responsibility for the impact of any such Customer changes.

2.5. Contractors. Customer may permit its Contractors to serve as Dashboard Users, provided Customer remains responsible for compliance by such individuals with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any use of the Services by such individuals is for the sole benefit of Customer.

2.6. General Restrictions. Customer will not (and will not permit any third party to): (a) rent, lease, provide access to or sublicense the Services to a third party; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise seek to obtain the source code or non-public APIs to the Services, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law (and then only upon advance notice to FlatPeak); (c) copy or modify the Services or any Documentation, or create any derivative work from any of the foregoing; (e) remove or obscure any proprietary or other notices contained in the Services (including without limitation (i) the “Powered by FlatPeak” designation that may appear as part of the deployment of the Services on Customer Properties and (ii) notices on any reports or data printed from the Services); or (f) publicly disseminate information regarding the performance of the Services.

Further, FlatPeak may monitor Customer’s usage of such APIs and limit the number of calls or requests Customer may make if FlatPeak believes that Customer’s usage is in breach of this Agreement or may negatively affect the Services.

2.8. Trial Subscriptions. If Customer receives free access or a trial or evaluation subscription to the Services (a “Trial Subscription”), then Customer may use the Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement for a period granted by FlatPeak (the “Trial Period”). Trial Subscriptions are permitted solely for Customer’s use to determine whether to purchase a paid subscription to the Services. Trial Subscriptions may not include all functionality and features accessible as part of a Paid Subscription.

FlatPeak uses all commercially reasonable technical and organisational measures to prevent unauthorised access, use, alteration or disclosure of any Services or Customer Data. However, FlatPeak will have no responsibility for errors in transmission, unauthorised third-party access or other causes beyond FlatPeak’s control.

4.2 Facilities and Data Transfer. All facilities used to store and process Customer Data will adhere to security standards no less protective than those at facilities where FlatPeak stores and processes its own information of a similar type. FlatPeak has implemented at least industry-standard systems and procedures to ensure the security and confidentiality of Customer Data, protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of Customer Data, and protect against unauthorised access to or use of Customer Data. As part of providing the Services, FlatPeak may transfer, store and process Customer Data in accordance with the Data Processing Agreement. By using the Services, Customer consents to this transfer, processing and storage of Customer Data.

By enabling the use of the Services with any Third-Party Platform, Customer authorises FlatPeak to access Customer’s accounts with such Third-Party Platform for the purposes described in this Agreement. The customer is solely responsible for complying with any relevant terms and conditions of the Third-Party Platforms and maintaining appropriate accounts in good standing with the providers of the Third-Party Platforms.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that FlatPeak has no responsibility or liability for any Third-Party Platform or any Customer Data exported to a Third-Party Platform.

The customer is responsible for paying all Taxes, and all Taxes are excluded from any fees set forth in the applicable Subscription. If Customer is required by Law to withhold any Taxes from Customer’s payment, the fees payable by Customer will be increased as necessary so that after making any required withholdings, FlatPeak receives and retains (free from any liability for payment of Taxes) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such withholdings been made. Any late payments may be subject to a service charge equal to 1.5% per month of the amount due or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less.

By providing Payment Card information and agreeing to purchase any Services, Customer hereby authorises FlatPeak (or its designee) to automatically charge Customer’s Payment Card on the same date of each calendar month (or the closest prior date, if there are fewer days in a particular month) during the Subscription Period for all fees accrued as of that date (if any) in accordance with the applicable Subscription. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the amount billed and charged each month may vary depending on Customer’s use of the Services and may include subscription fees for the remainder of Customer’s applicable billing period and overage fees for the prior month.

7.4.2. Foreign Transaction Fees. Customer acknowledges that for certain Payment Cards, the issuer of Customer’s Payment Card may charge a foreign transaction fee or other charges.

7.4.3. Invalid Payment. If a payment is not successfully settled due to expiration of a Payment Card, insufficient funds, or otherwise, the Customer remains responsible for any amounts not remitted to FlatPeak and FlatPeak may, in its sole discretion, either (i) invoice Customer directly for the deficient amount, (ii) continue billing the Payment Card once it has been updated by Customer (if applicable) or (iii) terminate this Agreement.

7.4.4. Changing Payment Card Information. At any time, Customer may change their Payment Card information by entering updated Payment Card information via the “Subscriptions” page on the Dashboard.

7.4.6. Payment of Outstanding Fees. Upon any termination or expiration of the Subscription, FlatPeak will charge Customer’s Payment Card (or invoice Customer directly) for any outstanding fees for Customer’s use of the Services during the Subscription Period, after which FlatPeak will not charge Customer’s Payment Card for any additional fees.

The limited warranty set forth in this Section 9.1 will not apply: (i) unless Customer makes a claim within thirty (30) days of the date on which Customer first noticed the non-conformity, (ii) if the error was caused by misuse, unauthorised modifications or third-party hardware, software, Services or services, or (iii) to use provided on a no-charge, trial or evaluation basis.

EXCEPT FOR EXCLUDED CLAIMS (DEFINED BELOW), NEITHER PARTY (NOR ITS SUPPLIERS) SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, LOST DATA, LOST PROFITS, FAILURE OF SECURITY MECHANISMS, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, RELIANCE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE.

12.4. Nature of Claims and Failure of Essential Purpose. The parties agree that the waivers and limitations specified in this Section 12 apply regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise and will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in this Agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

13. Indemnification

FlatPeak will defend Customer from and against any claim by a third party alleging that the Services, when used as authorised under this Agreement, infringes a UK patent, UK copyright, or UK trademark and will indemnify and hold harmless Customer from and against any damages and costs finally awarded against Customer or agreed in settlement by FlatPeak (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from such claim, provided that FlatPeak will have received from Customer: (i) prompt written notice of such claim (but in any event notice insufficient time for FlatPeak to respond without prejudice); (ii) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defence and settlement (if applicable) of such claim; and (iii) all reasonable necessary cooperation of Customer. If Customer’s use of a Product is (or in FlatPeak’s opinion is likely to be) enjoined, if required by settlement or if FlatPeak determines such actions are reasonably necessary to avoid material liability, FlatPeak may, in its sole discretion: (a) substitute substantially functionally similar Services or services; (b) procure for Customer the right to continue using such Product; or if (a) and (b) are not commercially reasonable, (c) terminate this Agreement and refund to Customer the fees paid by Customer for the portion of the Subscription Period that was paid by Customer but not rendered by FlatPeak. The foregoing indemnification obligation of FlatPeak will not apply: (1) if such Product is modified by any party other than FlatPeak, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such modification; (2) if such Product is combined with Services or processes not provided by FlatPeak, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such combination; (3) to any unauthorised use of such Product; (4) to any action arising as a result of Customer Data or any third-party deliverables or components contained within such Product; (5) to the extent the alleged infringement is not caused by the particular technology or implementation of the Product but instead by features common to any similar product or service; or (6) if Customer settles or makes any admissions with respect to a claim without FlatPeak’s prior written consent. THIS SECTION 13 SETS FORTH FlatPeak’S AND ITS SUPPLIERS SOLE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT.

14. Confidential Information

Each party (as “Receiving Party”) agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical and financial information it obtains from the disclosing party (“Disclosing Party”) constitute the confidential property of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be confidential or proprietary due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure.

Any FlatPeak Technology, performance information relating to any Product, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement will be deemed Confidential Information of FlatPeak without any marking or further designation. Except as expressly authorised herein, the Receiving Party will (1) hold in confidence and not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties and (2) not use Confidential Information for any purpose other than fulfilling its obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement.

The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors and other representatives having a legitimate need to know (including, for FlatPeak, the subcontractors referenced in Section 16.7 (Subcontractors)), provided that such representatives are bound to confidentiality obligations no less protective of the Disclosing Party than this Section 14 and that the Receiving Party remains responsible for compliance by any such representative with the terms of this Section 14.

The Receiving Party’s confidentiality obligations will not apply to information that the Receiving Party can document: (i) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (ii) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (iii) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (iv) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information.

The Receiving Party may make disclosures to the extent required by law or court order, provided the Receiving Party notifies the Disclosing Party in advance and cooperates in any effort to obtain confidential treatment. The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party, the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.

15. Co-Marketing

At the request of FlatPeak, Customer agrees to the issuance of a joint press release (“Press Release”) on a mutually agreed upon date or the 90th day from the Effective Date, whichever is earlier. Each party will have the right to approve the Press Release in advance, but such approval will not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. The customer also agrees to participate in other reasonable marketing activities that promote the benefits of the Services to other potential customers and to use the Customer’s name and logo on FlatPeak’s website and in FlatPeak promotional materials. Customer agrees that FlatPeak may disclose the Customer as a customer of FlatPeak.

16. General Terms

16.1. Assignment. This Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each party’s permitted successors and assigns. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the advance written consent of the other party, except that either party may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, reorganisation, acquisition or other transfer of all or substantially all of such party’s assets or voting securities. Any attempt to transfer or assign this Agreement except as expressly authorised under this Section 16.1 will be null and void.

In the event of any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising from or relating to this Agreement, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise (“Dispute”), the parties shall first use their best efforts to resolve the Dispute. If a Dispute arises, the complaining party shall provide written notice to the other party in a document specifically entitled “Initial Notice of Dispute” specifically setting forth the precise nature of the dispute (“Initial Notice of Dispute”). If an Initial Notice of Dispute is being sent to FlatPeak, it must be emailed to legal@flatpeak.com and sent via mail to: FlatPeak, 24 Greville Street, London, EC1N 8SS, United Kingdom. Following receipt of the Initial Notice of Dispute, the parties shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognising their mutual interests, attempt to reach a just and equitable solution of the Dispute that is satisfactory to both parties (“Direct Dispute Resolution”). If the parties are unable to reach a resolution of the Dispute through Direct Dispute Resolution within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the Initial Notice of Dispute, then the Dispute shall subsequently be resolved as set forth below.

16.3.2. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. The Customer agrees that any claim which is now subject to the dispute resolution as set out in this section 16.3 will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. By using FlatPeak Services, Customer irrevocably agrees that the courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Services (including non-contractual disputes or claims).

16.4. Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, no supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement will be binding unless executed in writing by a duly authorised representative of each party to this Agreement. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce or exercise rights under this Agreement, nor will any waiver be effective unless in writing signed by a duly authorised representative on behalf of the party claimed to have waived. No provision of any purchase order or other business form employed by Customer will supersede the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any such document relating to this Agreement will be for administrative purposes only and will have no legal effect.

16.5. Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements and communications relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. Customer acknowledges that the Services are online, subscription-based Services and that in order to provide an improved customer experience, FlatPeak may make changes to the Services, and FlatPeak will update the applicable Documentation accordingly. The support and service level availability terms described in the Support Policy and the SLA may be updated from time to time upon reasonable notice to Customer to reflect process improvements or changing practises (but the modifications will not materially decrease FlatPeak’s obligations as compared to those reflected in such terms as of the Effective Date).

16.6. Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement (except for a failure to pay fees) if the delay or failure is due to unforeseen events that occur after the signing of this Agreement and that are beyond the reasonable control of such party, such as a strike, blockade, war, act of terrorism, riot, natural disaster, failure or diminishment of power or telecommunications or data networks or services, or refusal of a license by a government agency.

16.7. Subcontractors. FlatPeak may use the services of subcontractors and permit them to exercise the rights granted to FlatPeak in order to provide the Services under this Agreement, provided that FlatPeak remains responsible for (i) compliance of any such subcontractor with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) for the overall performance of the Services as required under this Agreement.

16.8. Summons. Nothing in this Agreement prevents FlatPeak from disclosing Customer Data to the extent required by law or court orders, but FlatPeak will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer where permitted to do so.

16.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will be considered one and the same agreement.
