Extensions to Pilot Period: Pilot Period means the length of the Pilot as set forth in the applicable Pilot Order (Pilot Period). For any Pilot Order with us, the Pilot Period may be extended upon the mutual consent of Customer and Nauto (email from Nauto Customer Support confirming Customer’s request to extend for a specified additional time period being sufficient).
Pilot Devices:
- Pilot Devices (including related parts, such as angle bracket, Mark Button, and OBD2 cable) are new or gently used, but are fully functional. Pilot Devices have a software build current as of the date of shipment. Software builds in Pilot Devices may change during the Pilot Period.
- Ownership of Pilot Devices remains with Nauto (or Authorized Reseller, as applicable) and are loaned, not sold, to Customer for the duration of the Pilot Period. No licenses or other rights are granted in or to the Pilot Devices, except the right to use them in the Pilot in accordance with these Solution Terms and the Pilot Order. Customer will not take any actions with respect to the Pilot Devices that are inconsistent with Nauto’s (or, as applicable, Authorized Reseller’s), ownership of the Pilot Devices (e.g., no liens, no sale, leasing, or transfers of the devices, etc.).
- NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, PILOT DEVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS” WITH NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, but if a Pilot Device materially malfunctions during the Pilot Period in a manner that would otherwise be covered by the Nauto Device Warranty please contact Nauto Customer Support (support@nauto.com). For any Pilot Order with us, if the Pilot Period has at least 60 days or more remaining, as a courtesy we will provide a replacement Pilot Device for the duration of the Pilot Period at no expense to Customer. At our request, Customer will return malfunctioning devices to us (at our expense) for troubleshooting.
- Customer agrees to return the Pilot Devices to us (or the Authorized Reseller, as applicable) in good condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, within 30 days of the end of the Pilot Period. Please contact Nauto Customer Support (support@nauto.com) or, if applicable, the Authorized Reseller, for return instructions. For any Pilot Order with us, in the event Customer fails to return any Pilot Devices within such period in good condition, then Nauto will invoice Customer for, and Customer agrees to pay, the current MSRP for each such Pilot Device.
- For any Pilot Order with us, if, within 30 days of the end of the Pilot Period, Customer elects to convert all of the Pilot Devices into a Fleet Deployment Order with us, then, at Nauto’s election, as part of such Fleet Deployment Order either (i) Customer will retain such Pilot Devices (which will be purchased by Customer) or (ii) Nauto will sell Customer Nauto Devices to replace any Pilot Devices returned to us.
Service Levels and Support: For any Pilot Order with us, the SLA applies in all material respects during the Pilot Term, provided that no credits are due in the event we fail to meet the SLA.
Termination: Customer may terminate a Pilot Order with us at any time during the Pilot Period upon written notice to Nauto Customer Support (support@nauto.com). We may terminate the Pilot if Customer or any Users are in breach of a Pilot Order or these Solution Terms and such breach is not cured within 30 days of Nauto notifying Customer of such breach (10 days in the event of a failure to make any payments to us when due).

Use of the Nauto Solution

Certain features and services, including support, may require use of email software or a mobile device that is able to receive text messages (third party fees may apply). Use of the Nauto Solution does not require the downloading or installation of any Nauto client-side software, but Users may need to install a Mobile App on a compatible mobile device to access the Nauto Service. Because use of the Nauto Service involves other hardware, software, and Internet access, a User’s ability to use the Nauto Service may be affected by the availability and performance of these items. Such third-party system requirements and expenses, which may change from time to time, are solely Customer’s responsibility.
Availability: The Nauto Service is generally available 24x7x365 except for periods during which the Nauto Service is down, in whole or in part, for updates, upgrades, maintenance, or due to Force Majeure Events. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure uptime in accordance with the applicable Service Levels set forth in the SLA. To minimize inconvenience, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide reasonable advance notice of scheduled or anticipated downtime, but downtime may occur at any time and without advance notice and may last longer than anticipated or communicated.
Accounts:
- Users: The Nauto Service may be accessed only by Users who create a User account through the Nauto Service (Account) and then only in accordance with these Solution Terms.
- Admins: During the Subscription Term, Customer will provide at least one User with administrative privileges (each, an Admin). Each Admin is able to configure certain elements of the Nauto Solution and manage, and may monitor, Account activity. To provide the service, we need to have certain Business Contact Data for each Admin. Business Contact Data may include the name, email address, phone number, address, and other business-related information of such Admin. Each Admin (and Customer) consents to the use of an Admin’s Business Contact Data by us for the purpose of providing the Nauto Solution to Customer.
- Accounts Generally:
- Each User must create a password for their Account, unless Customer has elected to utilize single sign on, in which case they will handle the log-on per Customer’s policies and instructions. Each User is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of their password.

Accounts cannot be authorized for any third parties unless pre-approved by us and Accounts may not be resold, leased, or otherwise provided to third parties, whether for consideration or not. An Account may be terminated immediately without notice when that User is removed as an authorized Admin or User by Customer, upon termination or expiration of the applicable Subscription Term, for nonpayment of Fees, or if we believe there has been a violation of the Solution Terms.
- Unless otherwise expressly provided for in an Order with us or pre-approved by us, Users will only consist of: (i) employees of Customer, and (ii) third party contractors of Customer who are at that time providing related services to Customer that require access to the Nauto Service and who do not compete with us (Permitted Contractors). Employees of, or contractors for, our competitors are prohibited from accessing or using the Nauto Service without our express prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in our sole discretion.

- International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA): Track mileage by state and generate quarterly reports (desktop only).
Although the Nauto Solution is a tool that can facilitate ELD, DVIR, HoS and IFTA, Customer remains responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable law and related requirements in this regard.
Support: For any Orders with us, we will provide Customer and its Users with support in connection with the use of the Nauto Service during regular support hours in accordance with the SLA and the applicable Service Level (Support). We may subcontract Support services at our discretion without notice or consent.

Customer Data:
- Buffered Media: Nauto Devices may temporarily buffer Media on a Nauto Device for real-time processing. Buffered Media is not Customer Data.
- Recorded Media: If Customer configures the Nauto Solution to record Media, Media will be encrypted and stored locally on the Nauto Device. Unless uploaded, this Media is then overwritten (deleted) in the ordinary course of operations. The duration of storage of locally recorded Media will vary depending on Nauto Device configuration and use. Please note that recording must be enabled for CVR and look back.
- Uploaded Media: Uploading of Media to the Nauto Service is event driven, either because a Safety Incident is detected by the Nauto Device, the Mark Button is pressed, or a CVR is submitted (for more details, see “CVRs” below). Recorded Media that is not uploaded will be overwritten and permanently deleted in the ordinary course of operations.
- Ownership of Customer Data: Customer Data is owned by Customer.
- Access to Customer Data: During the applicable Subscription Term and for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter, Customer may download uploaded Customer Data through the download features in the Nauto Service.

We have no liability of any nature whatsoever for any decisions you make or actions you take (or choose not to make or not take) based on the Solution Output. Unless otherwise agreed in writing in a specific instance, once generated the Solution Output will not subsequently be updated or corrected.
- Open Source Software: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Solution Terms, to the extent required by an Open Source License that applies to a file or component included in the Nauto Solution software (Open Source Software), the terms of such Open Source License will apply to such Open Source Software instead of the terms of the applicable license grant in these Nauto Solution Use Terms. Open Source License means any license meeting the Open Source Definition (as promulgated by the Open Source Initiative) or the Free Software Definition (as promulgated by the Free Software Foundation), or any substantially similar license.
- For the avoidance of doubt, Nauto may use Customer Data (pursuant to the license granted above), Exterior Data, Device Data, and Service Data for purposes of developing and enhancing Nauto’s products and services, training Nauto’s models and improving Nauto’s algorithms, and creating De-Identified Data. Customer's license grants under these Solution Terms do not limit or condition Nauto’s rights in data that Nauto owns.
CVRs: Not all Safety Incidents may be uploaded and an uploaded Safety Incident may not contain the entirety of a Safety Incident. The CVR must specify the number of minutes to be uploaded preceding or following an uploaded Incident or a time range (in minutes using GMT) on a specified date. IMPORTANT: A CVR must be submitted if a Customer desires to upload any non-uploaded Customer Data, generally within 48-72 hours of its occurrence (specific period depends on how the Nauto Solution has been configured), otherwise such data may thereafter be unrecoverable. Upon receipt of a CVR, we will make reasonable efforts to upload such data, but cannot guarantee in each instance that Customer Data for the requested period of time can be uploaded.
Usage Rules:
Use of the Nauto Solution is conditioned upon the ongoing compliance during the Subscription Term by Customer and Users with the following usage rules (the Usage Rules).
- You will not (and will not cause or permit any third party to):
- allow the Nauto Solution to be used without Consents or any other applicable legal requirements, permits, or approvals in place based on the location and use of the Customer Vehicle.
- install a Nauto Device in a vehicle that is not owned or leased by Customer unless Customer has permission to install a Nauto Device in such vehicle and such use is for the direct benefit of Customer.
- transfer a Nauto Device for use other than by Customer without first entering into a Transfer Order with us;
- fail to comply with applicable law pertaining to the use of the Nauto Solution, including recording and use of data and placement of equipment (for example, California Vehicle Code section 26708(b)(13) and similar laws that may apply to Customer, its personnel, or its vehicles.
- remove or tamper with any SD or SIM cards in, or tamper with, or seek to access, extract, copy, or modify any of the content (including data, files, software, and firmware) in, a Device (including by connecting a USB or similar cable to it). Customer is liable for any damage to any SIM or SD cards included with a Nauto Device and any consequences of removal of such SIM or SD cards.
- access an Account that is not the User’s Account or access or use any Nauto Services other than those for which Customer has an active Subscription.
- “frame,” “mirror,” or serve the Nauto Service on any web server or other computer server over the Internet or any other network.
- in any manner or in any form, (i) publish, perform, demonstrate, copy, modify, or reproduce the Nauto Solution, or to create any derivative works thereof; or (ii) rent, lease, loan, sell, re-sell, distribute, or redistribute the Nauto Solution under any circumstance without our express prior written consent.
- disassemble, decompile, or reverse engineer the Nauto Solution or any element or component thereof (including Background IP), including: (i) converting the same from a machine-readable form into a human-readable form or any approximation thereof by, for example, studying the Nauto Solution’s behavior in response to a variety of inputs; or (ii) performing any other activity related to the Nauto Solution that could be construed to be reverse engineering, disassembling, or decompiling.
- remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices, logos, or similar labels in the Nauto Solution.
- use or access the Nauto Solution to conduct any benchmark, performance, or competitive testing or analysis of the Nauto Solution or disclose or publish the results of any such testing or analysis without Nauto’s express written consent.
- conduct any systematic or automated data collection activities, including scraping, data mining, data extraction, or data harvesting on or in relation to the Nauto Solution.
- interfere with or disrupt the Nauto Solution or the servers or networks connected to the Nauto Solution, circumvent, disable, or interfere with security features of the Nauto Solution, or exploit the Nauto Solution in any unauthorized way whatsoever, including by trespass or burdening network capacity.
- use or launch any automated system, including “robots,” “spiders,” “offline readers,” or other similar systems that send more messages to our servers in a given period of time than a human can reasonably produce in the same period by using a conventional web browser.
- use the Nauto Solution to promote or distribute any viruses, trojans, worms, root kits, spyware, or any other harmful software, programs, routines, applications, or technologies, or that may negatively affect the performance of the Nauto Solution or a computer or introduce significant security risks to the Nauto Solution or a computer.
- use all or any part of the Nauto Solution, or allow the transfer, transmission, export or re-export of all or any part of the Nauto Solution, in violation of applicable law or otherwise engage in, facilitate, or further any unlawful conduct in connection with the use of the Nauto Solution.
- If Customer or any Users are on any Restricted Party Lists, they may not access or use the Nauto Solution.
We may, in our sole discretion, suspend or terminate an Account, or suspend or limit Customer’s or any User’s access to or use of the Nauto Solution, in whole or in part, if we believe that the Usage Rules, or other provision of the Solution Terms, have been violated, if necessary to address a material security risk, or if required by applicable law.
Vehicle Maintenance: Nauto Devices draw a small number of milliamps of power from a Customer Vehicle’s battery even when in standby or hibernation mode. Hibernate mode requires less power but entails a boot of the Nauto Device when the vehicle is started and during this boot time not all Nauto Solution features may be active. As between Nauto and Customer, it is Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure that each Customer Vehicle has a battery in a condition able to adequately support the Nauto Device and that the vehicle’s battery remains sufficiently charged. In no event will Nauto have any responsibility of any nature due to or arising from a dead or undercharged battery in a Customer Vehicle, including battery damage or replacement, vehicle downtime, towing, or repair, or loss of revenue. IMPORTANT: If a Customer Vehicle will not be operated for an extended period of time (e.g., more than ~2 weeks), we recommend that a trickle charger is used on the vehicle or that the battery be disconnected while not in operation.
Changes: We may modify the Nauto Solution from time to time but will not, unless required to comply with applicable law, materially reduce its core functionality during a Subscription Term. We will have no liability to the extent we exercise such rights, other than if we discontinue any relevant services or Features during a Subscription Term (other than to comply with applicable law) to refund any prepaid Fees for such services or Features on a pro-rata basis. In the event we intend to “end of life” any Nauto Devices used by Customer during a Subscription Term, we will, circumstances permitting, provide Customer with not less than six (6) months prior notice and allow Customer a last-time-buy opportunity. Unless a Nauto Device has been “end-of lifed,” it is within Customer’s sole discretion whether to upgrade, at its expense, to new versions of Nauto Devices.
Privacy and Data Protection
AI: The AI used in the Nauto Device (i) does not provide automated decisionmaking (apart from providing alerts to drivers) or replace human decisionmaking in any respect, (ii) is not generative AI or agentic AI, and (iii) does not self-train iteratively using raw data (it is trained via human annotation and periodic updates).
Data Security: We operate the Nauto Solution in accordance with our Security Policy, which is made part of this “Privacy and Data Protection” section.
Personal Data:
- Customer Personal Data: To the extent that Customer makes available any Personal Data to us (Customer Personal Data), Customer warrants that Customer has the legal right to make such Personal Data available to us. No “sensitive personal information” or “special category personal data” (as such terms or similar terms are defined by applicable law) are to be provided or made available to us (e.g., health data, financial data, or information about ethnic or racial origin).
- Nauto as a Processor: Customer is the Controller of Customer Personal Data and Nauto is a Processor of Customer Personal Data (except for purposes of the Nauto Controller Activities, as set forth below). To the extent required by Data Protection Law, Nauto will process Customer Personal Data as a Processor in accordance with the DPA. For clarity, the DPA only applies to Nauto in its role as a Processor.
- Nauto Controller Activities: Customer acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the licenses granted by Customer to Nauto in these Solution Terms and any Order that includes Customer Personal Data, (i) from the moment Nauto decides which Customer Personal Data to process in the manner and for the purposes set forth in the Privacy Policy (such processing, the Nauto Controller Activities), Nauto is a separate and independent Controller of such data and (ii) Customer allows Nauto to process such data in accordance with the foregoing. In no event will Customer and Nauto process any Personal Data as joint controllers. Customer acknowledges and agrees that as Nauto has no direct relationship with the natural persons whose Personal Data may be included in Customer Personal Data, Customer undertakes to (a) provide such persons, prior to the installation of a Device in a vehicle, the Privacy Policy and (b) promptly notify Nauto in writing if any such persons communicate to Customer that such person wishes to exercise any of its rights under Data Protection Laws as it relates to such notice.
Consents: Customer acknowledges and agrees that it, and not we, is responsible for Consents. In addition, Customer acknowledges that special Consents may be required with regard to passengers who are minors and agrees that it is Customer’s sole responsibility to obtain such special Consents.
Pricing and Payment Terms
Pricing Generally: Prices quoted by us are firm and not subject to audit, price revision, or price predetermination and are not subject to trade or other discounts (other than discounts expressly set forth in an Order with us). Customer acknowledges that the pricing is based on the provisions of these Solution Terms providing for an agreed allocation of the risk. Customer further acknowledges that the pricing and terms would have been different if there had been a different allocation of the risk.
Fees:
- To access and use the Nauto Solution, Customer will pay the Fees set forth in an Order or, for Renewal Terms as communicated by us (or Authorized Resellers) to Customer.
- For Fleet Deployment Orders with us, Customer may add Features, or increase the Service Package or Service Level, at any time during the Subscription Term upon notice and paying the applicable Fees for such Features, or for the added cost of the Service Package or Service Level. The Service Package and the Service Level can only be decreased (for example, going from Premium to Essentials or from Silver to Standard) at the end of the then-current Subscription Term. Adding additional Nauto Devices will be handled by putting in place an additional Fleet Deployment Order for such Nauto Devices.
Installation Fees:
- If Nauto is handling Nauto Device installation, Nauto or its designated installer(s) will install Nauto Devices on agreed upon date(s) and time(s) at Customer’s premises or at such other mutually agreed upon location(s). Installation Fees are charged at Nauto’s actual cost and associated overhead and are valid for daytime installs during Nauto’s or its installer’s normal business hours. Installs outside those times, or missed or incomplete installation appointments (e.g., due to unavailability of vehicles, inaccessible installation locations, broken OBD ports, dead batteries, or cracked windshields), and any other installation delays or costs not caused by Nauto or its installer are not included and will be billed to Customer at cost. An installation appointment that Customer cancels on less than two (2) full business days prior to the date of such appointment, or if the installer is unable to access the facility, will be deemed to be missed appointments and a fee of US$500 will apply to each such missed appointment.
Taxes:
- Fees are Exclusive of Taxes: Any Fees quoted and invoiced by Nauto are exclusive of all Taxes. Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes for Orders with us, excluding Taxes based on our income except if there is a legal obligation on Customer to record such Taxes by way of withholding as outlined below. If we have the legal obligation to pay or record Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, we will add the Taxes to the Fees and Customer will pay the Taxes to us unless Customer provides us with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. Customer agrees to provide us with Customer’s valid VAT ID upon request where applicable or required.
- Withholding Taxes: If Customer is required to withhold Taxes from any payment by Customer to us pursuant to applicable law in a country in which any services are delivered, used, or obtained, then Customer will make such deductions in the minimum amount required by law and remit such Taxes to the proper authorities on a timely basis. Customer will provide us with official documentation or tax receipts on such withholdings supporting such Taxes and such payments as may be required by us for our tax records as soon as reasonably possible following payment to the applicable taxing authority, and in any event no later than when required by applicable law.
- Inventory Taxes: Customer is responsible for paying all inventory taxes, personal property taxes, or use taxes arising out of Customer’s possession, control, or use of Hardware (including Pilot Devices) obtained pursuant to Orders with us.
- Tax Indemnification: Customer will defend, indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any inventory taxes, personal property taxes, or use taxes asserted against us arising out of Customer’s possession, control, or use of Hardware; any Taxes that Customer is obligated to pay pursuant to this section, but fails to pay and any related seizure and recovery costs; and any claims, causes of action, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ and advisors’ fees, together with any applicable Taxes thereon) and any other liabilities of any nature related to such Taxes.
- Tax Compliance Notifications: If Customer is required for tax compliance purposes to notify applicable tax authorities that we provided services to Customer (such as digital platform or other services subject to the 7th amendment to EU Council Directive 2011/16/EU (aka ‘DAC7’), Customer will inform us in writing of this notification within 30 days after it is made.
Payment: Unless otherwise set forth in an Order with us, for all Orders with us:
- Except as otherwise set forth below, Fees will be invoiced upon signing of the applicable Order.
- For Fleet Deployment Orders, Subscription Fees, Service Package Fees, and Service Level Fees, plus any applicable Taxes, are invoiced in advance on an annual basis.
- Installation Fees and any usage-based Fees (such as CVR minutes), plus any applicable Taxes, are invoiced in arrears.
- Features Fees (or any Fees due to Service Package changes) are invoiced at such time as such Features are ordered or when the Service Package change takes effect.
- We reserve the right to require payment of Undisputed Fees (defined below) in advance, in whole or in part.
- Payment terms are net 30 days from the date of invoice.
- Payments will be made by ACH or wire transfer. Nauto will provide bank account details to Customer’s billing contact following signing. IMPORTANT: to prevent fraud, if Customer receives an email purporting to change our bank account details for payment purposes, Customer will not make such change until it has been confirmed telephonically directly with Nauto Customer Support.
- If Customer requires the use of a purchase order, Customer is responsible for providing the applicable purchase order to us prior to the applicable invoice date.
- If Customer has set up a direct debit, we will not debit the designated account before seven (7) days have elapsed from the date of the invoice. If satisfactory open account credit is established, then until withdrawn, terms of sale are net thirty (30) days from the date of the applicable Order up to the available credit limit.
- If Customer in good faith disputes any Fee amount being charged under any invoice submitted to it by us, Customer will notify us in writing of the dispute prior to the payment due date and describing it with reasonable specificity. Customer may thereafter withhold payment of such disputed amount(s) until resolution of the dispute. The parties will use good faith efforts to resolve any such disputes promptly. Any Fees not disputed in accordance with the foregoing are referred to as Undisputed Fees.
- Customer will pay all Undisputed Fees on each invoice without setoff for any amount Customer may claim due from us and regardless of any controversy that may exist.
- Except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Solution Terms, Fees are non-refundable.
- We may agree to, but will not be required to, sign up for Customer vendor portals or similar applications to receive payment.
- If Customer fails to pay us as required by these Solution Terms or the applicable Order with us, or if we have reason to suspect Customer’s financial condition or other circumstances do not warrant providing the Nauto Service on terms, we may at any time limit or cancel credit and demand payment in advance.
Late Payment: If any Undisputed Fees under an Order with us are not paid when due, Nauto may charge interest on overdue amounts at 1.5% per month, compounding monthly (or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, if lower) from the payment due date until paid in full and Customer will reimburse Nauto for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Nauto in recording overdue payments. We may suspend your access to and use of the Nauto Solution for non-payment upon ten (10) days’ written notice.
Shipping and Delivery
This section applies only to Orders with us unless otherwise expressly noted in an Order.
Delivery Schedule: We will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver ordered Nauto Devices in accordance with any delivery date(s) set forth in the applicable Order. Specified delivery dates are estimates only and time is not of the essence. We are not liable for any delays, losses, or damages resulting from any delays in delivery.
Shipping: Unless otherwise set forth in an Order, all shipments of Nauto Devices are made FCA (Free Carrier) (Incoterms 2020) at the facility designated in the Order (the Delivery Point). Title to and risk of loss or damage to the Nauto Devices being shipped passes from us to Customer upon delivery of such Nauto Devices to the carrier nominated by Customer at the Delivery Point.
Carrier and Transportation: Customer is responsible for nominating the carrier and arranging transportation from the Delivery Point. In the event Customer fails to nominate a carrier or provide adequate shipping instructions within a reasonable time, we may, at our sole discretion, select a carrier on Customer’s behalf, and all costs, fees, and charges associated with such transportation shall be for Customer’s account. Customer bears all freight, insurance, and other shipping costs from the Delivery Point.
Export Clearance: We will seek to obtain any required export license or other official authorization and to carry out all customs formalities necessary for the export of the ordered Nauto Devices. No assurances are given that Nauto Devices can be exported in any specific situation and in that case we may cancel the relevant Order. Customer is responsible for all import clearance, duties, taxes, and other charges imposed by the country of destination.
Packaging: We will pack and label Nauto Devices in accordance with standard commercial practices and in a manner reasonably suitable for transportation by the carrier nominated by Customer. Any special packaging, labeling, or handling requirements requested by Customer will be at Customer’s sole cost and expense and must be agreed upon in writing prior to shipment.
Inspection and Acceptance: Customer is responsible for inspecting Nauto Devices promptly upon receipt. For Orders with us, Customer will notify Nauto Customer Support in writing of any claims for shortages, defects, or nonconformities within ten (10) business days after receipt of such Nauto Devices. For Orders not with us, Customer must contact the applicable reseller. Failure to provide such notice within this period constitutes acceptance of such Nauto Devices and a waiver of any claims related thereto (other than any applicable Nauto Device Warranty).
Partial Shipments: Unless otherwise set forth in an Order, we reserve the right to make partial shipments. Each partial shipment constitutes a separate delivery, and any failure by Customer to deliver any one or more installments will not entitle Customer to reject any other installment or to treat the quotation or any resulting agreement as repudiated.
Nauto Device Warranty
This section applies only to Fleet Deployment Orders.
Except as limited by applicable law or as otherwise set forth in an Order with us or pre-approved by us in writing, Nauto warrants that during the twelve (12) month period from the date of shipment of a Nauto Device (the Warranty Period), the Nauto Device will perform in all material respects in accordance with its Specifications as in effect on the date of shipment by us under normal use (within published Specifications), given proper installation and maintenance, and subject to the following (the Nauto Device Warranty):
- Nauto does not warrant: (i) that the operation of Nauto Devices will be uninterrupted or error-free; (ii) that Nauto Devices will meet Customer’s requirements or achieve any business outcome or result; (iii) that Nauto Devices will operate in combination with other, non-Nauto products or services selected by Customer for its use; (iv) that Nauto Devices will remain free from physical damage, including cracks or scratches on the casing, or damage caused by attempts to open, repair, install or uninstall, or modify a Nauto Device.
- Nauto will be relieved of its obligations and liability under the Nauto Device Warranty to the extent: (a) an error or defect is due to any accessory, equipment, software, or part not manufactured or provided by or on behalf of Nauto; (b) the error or defect is due to the Nauto Device having been improperly operated or maintained (other than by Nauto); (c) the error or defect is due to the Nauto Device having been installed by Customer or by third parties not engaged, authorized by, and under the control of Nauto; (d) the error or defect is due to the Nauto Device having been repaired, altered, or modified by an unauthorized repair facility; (e) the shipment date of the Nauto Device cannot be determined due to the Nauto Device having had its serial numbers or other identifying marks removed, obliterated, or altered; (f) Customer fails to notify Nauto in writing of the error or defect within the applicable Warranty Period; (g) the error or defect is due to Customer’s or any third party’s misuse, neglect, improper installation or testing, or is due to any other cause beyond the range of the intended use, or is due to accident, fire, lightning, terrorism or other hazard or act of God; or (h) the error or defect in the Nauto Device does not exist or was caused by Customer or any third party, including as the result of a Safety Incident. Taping over a Nauto Device’s air vents, pulling out cables, stripping screws, and pouring liquids over or submerging the device, are examples of misuse. If a Nauto Device is damaged as the result of a Safety Incident, you should include it in the related insurance claim and you will need to purchase a replacement device from us.
- If a Nauto Device fails to meet the Nauto Device Warranty during the Warranty Period, then Nauto will have the option, in its sole discretion, to repair the Nauto Device or to replace the Nauto Device with a new or refurbished Nauto Device that has at least the functionality of the existing Nauto Device. For clarity, we may, at our option, replace the existing Nauto Device with a newer model. Any warranty claim must follow Nauto’s then-current return of merchandise authorization procedure.
- No credits or refunds will be provided for periods during the applicable Subscription Term when a Nauto Device is inactive or nonoperational due to any defect, whether or not covered by the Nauto Device Warranty.
- The foregoing remedies are, to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law, (i) the sole and exclusive remedies for any failure to meet the Nauto Device Warranty and (ii) in lieu of all other rights and remedies that may apply.

THIS PROVISION SETS FORTH NAUTO’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE OBLIGATIONS, AND CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES, WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
- Indemnification by Customer: Customer, at its sole expense, will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Nauto, and its directors, officers, employees, and agents, from any and all Claims, including any related Losses, resulting from, arising in connection with, or relating to (i) Claims (a) involving a Safety Incident; (b) that the Nauto Solution (or any part thereof) failed to provide an alert, did not record or transmit data of a Safety Incident, or was otherwise malfunctioning or non-operational or did not perform as expected; (c) involving Customer's improper installation of a Nauto Device (except to the extent Nauto or its authorized agent handled the installation), inadequate Customer Vehicle maintenance, or tampering with, or modification (other than as pre-authorized by Nauto in writing) of, a Nauto Device; (d) involving improper use of the Nauto Solution and (e) relating to the Nauto Solution and brought by Users, Customer’s Affiliates, Customer’s or its Affiliate’s respective employees, contractors, suppliers (including insurance companies), agents, or other representatives, or any driver or passenger (including their parents, legal guardians, heirs, or beneficiaries, as applicable) in a Customer Vehicle or any third parties (including drivers and passengers in other vehicles and pedestrians (including for all of the foregoing their family members, legal guardians, heirs, or beneficiaries, as applicable)); and (ii) the Exclusions.
- Cross Indemnification: Each party, at its sole expense, will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other party, and its directors, officers, employees, and agents, from and against any and all Claims, including any related Losses, resulting from, arising in connection with, or relating to the indemnifying party’s grossly negligent or willful misconduct.
- Procedure: The indemnifying party’s indemnification obligations under this Indemnification section are conditioned upon the indemnitee giving prompt written notice of the Claim to the indemnifying party once the indemnitee becomes aware of the Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide prompt written notice to the indemnifying party will not alleviate an indemnifying party’s obligations under this Indemnification section to the extent any associated delay does not materially prejudice or impair the defense of the related Claim or materially increase the Losses. The indemnifying party will have the sole right to defend such Claim at its expense (including granting the indemnifying party the right to select and use counsel of its own choosing) and to control the defense and settlement thereof for so long as the indemnifying party is conducting such defense with reasonable diligence. The indemnitee agrees to reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party, and at the indemnifying party’s request and expense, assist in the defense or settlement of the Claim. The indemnitee will have the right to participate in such defense and negotiations at its expense and Nauto will control any action to the extent related to any Nauto Intellectual Property Rights (other than any licenses to Nauto’s Intellectual Property Rights granted to Reseller hereunder). The indemnifying party will not, without the indemnitee’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), pay, settle, or compromise a Claim unless it: (i) includes an unconditional written release of the indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Claim; (ii) does not subject the indemnitee to any equitable remedy or to any monetary liability that will not be promptly paid by the indemnifying party or any consent order, decree, or injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, and (iii) does not include a finding, statement, or admission of fault, culpability, or failure to act by the indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party will not be entitled to assume control of the defense of any Claim to the extent that such Claim could impose criminal liability on the indemnitee, and unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the indemnitee will have the right (but not the obligation) to defend such Claim at the cost and expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnitee shall take commercially reasonable measures to mitigate Losses.
General Terms
Mutual Representations and Warranties: Customer and Nauto each represent and warrant that: (i) it is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the place of its establishment or incorporation; (ii) it has full corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under these Solution Terms; (iii) the person accepting these Solution Terms on its behalf has been duly authorized and empowered to accept these Solution Terms; and (iv) these Solution Terms are valid, binding, and enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.
Feedback: You or we may from time to time provide the other with suggestions or comments for enhancements or improvements, new features, or functionality or other feedback with respect to the other’s products or services (Feedback). The party receiving the Feedback has (i) full discretion to determine whether or not to proceed with the development of any requested enhancements or suggestions and (ii) the full, unencumbered right, without any obligation to compensate or reimburse the providing person or party, to use, incorporate and otherwise fully exercise and exploit any such Feedback in connection with the receiving party’s products and services. All Feedback is provided “as is” without any representation or warranty and with no duty to update.
Litigation: If we are called upon to respond to a subpoena, discovery request, or other legal process in connection with a third-party Claim (other than Claims for which we indemnify Customer) or a Claim by Customer against a third party, Customer will reimburse us for our reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including travel expenses, costs associated with preparing requested investigations or reports, and costs associated with court appearances or other aspects of litigation. We will work with legal counsel selected by Customer regarding the matter (with attorneys’ fees, disbursements, and expenses paid directly by Customer) as long as there is not a conflict. If we deem it advisable or necessary, we may engage our own legal counsel and Customer will reimburse us for the related reasonable legal fees, disbursements, and expenses.
Enforcement: We reserve the right to take those steps we believe are reasonably necessary or appropriate to enforce and/or verify compliance with any part of these Solution Terms or any Order with us, including any duty to cooperate with any legal process relating to use of the Nauto Solution, and/or a third-party claim that your use of the Nauto Solution is unlawful and/or infringes such third party’s rights. You agree that we have the right, without liability to us, to disclose any Account Information, service usage records, or other data recorded by the Nauto Solution to law enforcement authorities, government officials, and/or a third party, as we believe we are required to do, or is reasonably necessary or appropriate to enforce and/or verify compliance with any part of the Solution Terms or any Order with us.
Confidentiality:
- Definition: Confidential Information means all data, information, or materials (whether in tangible or intangible form) belonging to the disclosing party or its Affiliates (Discloser) and disclosed to the receiving party or its Affiliates (Recipient) in connection with an Order or these Solution Terms. Such Confidential Information (a) will be marked in writing as confidential, proprietary, or a similar manner; (b) will be identified as proprietary or confidential at the time of disclosure if disclosed orally, visually, or by demonstration; or (c) will be deemed confidential if Recipient knows or reasonably should know that such information is considered confidential, proprietary, or a trade secret of Discloser. Without limiting the foregoing, the following are deemed to be Confidential Information of Discloser: (i) information that Recipient knows or reasonably should know is a trade secret pursuant to applicable law; (ii) any notes, summaries, memoranda, drawings, manuals, records, excerpts, derivatives, interpretations, and all other documents or materials created by or on behalf of Recipient that contain, describe, or refer to information that is Confidential Information of Discloser; (iii) any of the following related to Discloser’s business: know-how (including safety insights), idea, invention, process, technique, algorithm, software (whether in source code or object code form), hardware, equipment, sample, material, device, design, schematic, drawing, formula, data, plan, analysis, strategy, and forecast; and (iv) technical, engineering, manufacturing, product, marketing, servicing, financial, personnel, and other information and materials related to Discloser’s business.
- Protection of Confidential Information: Recipient agrees that it will: (i) protect the confidentiality and avoid the unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, and dissemination of Discloser’s Confidential Information; (ii) in protecting such Confidential Information, use at least the same degree of care as it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care; (iii) only use Discloser’s Confidential Information to exercise Recipient’s rights or comply with Recipient’s obligations under the applicable Order or these Solution Terms (the Qualified Purpose), (iv) not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party, other than to its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, legal counsel, consultants, advisors, accountants, and auditors, but excluding any competitor of Discloser (Representatives) having a reasonable need to know such Confidential Information for the Qualified Purpose. Such Representatives must be bound by a (a) written contract containing terms and conditions that prohibit disclosure to third parties and unauthorized use and are otherwise generally no less restrictive as the terms and conditions of this “Confidentiality” provision; or (b) fiduciary or professional ethical obligation of confidentiality.
- Exceptions: Recipient’s obligations above do not apply (or cease to apply) to any Confidential Information that: (i) was in the public domain at the time it was initially disclosed; (ii) was known by Recipient (or its Affiliates) prior to receiving the Confidential Information from Discloser; (iii) becomes rightfully known to Recipient from a third-party source not known (after reasonable inquiry) by Recipient to be under an obligation to Discloser to maintain confidentiality; (iv) becomes publicly available without breach of this “Confidentiality” provision, including through a patent disclosure; (v) is independently developed by Recipient without access to or use of any Confidential Information; or (vi) is expressly approved for release in writing by Discloser. The obligations of this "Confidentiality" provision survive the Term. Each party will be responsible for any breach of this “Confidentiality” provision by its Affiliates and Representatives.
- Notice of Breach: Recipient will notify Discloser in writing promptly upon discovery of any breach of its confidentiality obligations hereunder by itself, its Representatives, or its Affiliates. Thereafter, Recipient (and as applicable, its Representatives) will reasonably assist and cooperate with Discloser (at Recipient’s expense) to regain possession of Confidential Information and prevent its further unauthorized disclosure and/or use.
- Permitted Disclosure: It is not a breach of these confidentiality obligations for Recipient to disclose Confidential Information it receives hereunder when, and to the extent that, such disclosure is: (i) required by law; (ii) required pursuant to any governmental, judicial, or administrative order by a body of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) required by securities and exchange rules or regulations; provided, however, that Recipient: (a) to the extent practicable and to the extent allowed by law, gives Discloser prompt prior notice of such requirement so that Discloser may seek such protective orders or other confidentiality protection as Discloser (in Discloser’s discretion and at its expense) may elect; and (b) reasonably cooperates with Discloser in protecting the confidential or proprietary nature of such disclosed Confidential Information. Recipient will reasonably cooperate with efforts by the Discloser to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the Confidential Information. If such disclosure is not enjoined by such a protective order, the Recipient will only disclose that portion of the Confidential Information that it is advised by its legal counsel is necessary to comply with such legal requirement.
Intellectual Property:
- Ownership: We and our licensors retain all right, title, and interest (including all intellectual property rights) in and to the Nauto Solution, all derivative works of or other enhancements, modifications or improvements to the Nauto Solution, Background IP, and all De-Identified Data, Exterior Data, Device Data, Service Data, and any other data that does not constitute Customer Data or Customer-Provided Data. Other than the licenses set out in these Solution Terms, Customer retains all right, title, and interest (including all intellectual property rights) in and to all Customer Data and Customer-Provided Data.
- Trademarks: “Nauto,” “VERA,” “VERA Score,” and associated logos, service marks, and graphics used by us on or in connection with the Nauto Solution are our trademarks (the Nauto Marks). Other trademarks, trade names, service marks, and logos, whether or not registered (Marks) are the sole and exclusive property of the respective owning person, who, as between us and them, owns all right, title, and interest therein.
- Use of Nauto Marks: We hereby grant Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license, during the Subscription Term, to display the applicable Nauto Marks solely for the purpose of promoting or advertising Customer’s use of the Nauto Solution; provided that (i) all such use will be in compliance with any trademark usage guidelines provided by us to Customer from time to time, (ii) all goodwill from such use will inure solely to our benefit, and (iii) Customer agrees to display the applicable trademark notices when using the Nauto Marks. At Nauto’s express written request, Customer will cease using Nauto Marks for these purposes.
- Use of Customer Marks: Customer hereby grants us a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to display Customer’s Marks on our website(s) and marketing materials to show that Customer uses, or has used, the Nauto Solution; provided that (i) all such use will be in compliance with any trademark usage guidelines provided by Customer to us from time to time, (ii) all goodwill from such use will inure solely to the benefit of Customer, and (iii) we agree to display the applicable trademark notices when using Customer’s Marks. At Customer’s express written request, we will cease further use of Customer’s Marks for these purposes. This subsection survives termination or expiration of the Agreement.
Term and Termination:
- Term: The term of a Subscription will continue in effect for the length of the applicable Subscription Term, unless earlier terminated as provided in the applicable Order, these Solution Terms, or unless applicable law gives Customer the express right to terminate the Subscription prior to the end of the Subscription Term, in which case such applicable law will govern such early termination. For clarity, the loss or damage of Nauto Devices does not terminate a Subscription. In such cases, Customer will have to purchase replacement Nauto Devices.
- Renewals: Unless otherwise set forth in a Fleet Deployment Order with us, (i) the Initial Subscription Term will automatically renew for successive Renewal Terms of equal length to the applicable Initial Subscription Term, unless either we provide you, or you provide us, with notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current Subscription Term and (ii) for each Renewal Term after the Initial Subscription Term, a five percent (5%) annual increase in the applicable Fees will apply to each such Renewal Term.
- Termination:
- Either party to an Order with us may terminate that Order upon written notice to the other party, if any of the following occur(s): (i) voluntary institution by such other party of insolvency, receivership, bankruptcy, or any other proceedings for the settlement of such other party’s debt; (ii) involuntary institution of insolvency, receivership, bankruptcy, or any other proceedings for the settlement of such other party’s debt, which proceedings are not resolved within sixty (60) days; (iii) the dissolution of such other party; or (iv) a party materially defaults in the performance of any provision of this Agreement and such default remains uncured thirty (30) days after written notice of such default.
- Customer may cancel an Order with us by written notice to us at any time, with such termination effective at the end of the then-applicable Subscription Term. There are no refunds of Subscription Fees or other Fees due to early termination by Customer of an Order with us unless termination was pursuant to applicable law and such law requires refunds for early termination.
- If (i) you fail to comply with any of the provisions of these Solution Terms or an Order; or (ii) Customer has failed to timely pay us all Undisputed Fees, and does not pay such Undisputed Fee within ten (10) days after receiving notice requesting Customer do so; or (iii) an Order terminates for any reason; we may, at our sole discretion, without notice or liability to you or any third party, as applicable, terminate applicable User Accounts or preclude or limit access to the Nauto Solution or any part thereof to Customer and its Users.
- Termination or expiration of an Order will not affect the provisions relating to the payments of Fees due, which will become due by Customer immediately, in addition to our cost of collection (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses).
- Where Customer has entered into an Order with us, upon expiration of the applicable Subscription Term for such Order (i) such Order will terminate; (ii) any and all rights granted to Customer and Users under such Order and these Solution Terms as it relates to such Order will immediately terminate (apart from those that expressly survive termination); and (iii) Customers and Users will promptly cease all use of the Nauto Solution governed by such Order. If you have entered into an Order with an Authorized Reseller, upon expiration of the Subscription Term under such Order, (a) any and all rights granted to Customers and Users under these Solution Terms will immediately terminate (apart from those that expressly survive termination) and (b) Customer and Users will promptly cease all use of the Nauto Solution governed by such Order.
- Survival: In addition to any provisions that by their terms contemplate survival, the sections in Use of the Nauto Solution titled “Customer Data: Ownership,” “Customer Data: Access to Customer Data,” “Licenses: Limited License to Customer Data,” “Licenses: License to Solution Output,” and “Use of Certain Data,” and the sections of these Solution Terms titled “DISCLAIMERS,” “LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION,” and “General Terms,” will survive any termination or expiration of an Order. With respect to the section titled “Customer-Provided Data,” that provision will survive any termination or expiration of an Order for so long as we retain possession of any Customer-Provided Data that is available from, or provided by, other sources.
Changes to Solution Terms: We reserve the right, at any time and from time to time, to update, revise, supplement, and otherwise modify these Solution Terms and to impose new or additional usage rules, policies, terms, or conditions on the access or use, or with respect to Geotab Resellers, the distribution or resale, of the Nauto Solution. Such updates, revisions, supplements, modifications, and additional rules, policies, terms, and conditions (collectively, Additional Terms) become effective thirty (30) days after we provide Customer with such notice, unless, prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, Customer notifies us that it objects to all or some of such Additional Terms and the basis for such objection with reasonable specificity (the Objected Terms). Following Customer’s notification, Customer and Nauto will promptly discuss in good faith the effect of the Objected Terms on Customer, and such parties will, within thirty (30) days thereafter, document any mutually agreed mitigations. If such parties cannot agree to mitigations within such period, we have the right, exercisable within thirty (30) days thereafter, to terminate these Solution Terms and any Orders, in which event we are deemed to have waived Customer’s compliance with the Objected Terms objected to prior to the effective date of termination. If any Orders are not so terminated, Customer will be deemed to have waived the Objected Terms.
Compliance with Law: In connection with the access and use, and with respect to Geotab Resellers, distribution or resale, of the Nauto Solution, the parties will comply with applicable laws, including those relating to data protection, export control, and anti-corruption/anti-bribery, including the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act 2010. Customer will not permit any Affiliates or User to access or use the Nauto Solution for so long as such Affiliate or User is on any Restricted Party Lists.
Entire Agreement: These Solution Terms, together with any applicable Orders with us, constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and us relating to the Nauto Solution and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals, or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. To the extent any term or condition in any other document (other than such applicable Order), including any RFP, RFQ, or purchase order is inconsistent with or in addition to these Solution Terms, such terms or conditions are expressly rejected and our acceptance of any offer or order of Customer is expressly made in reliance on assent to these Solution Terms. Our failure to object to any term or condition in any oral or written communication from you will not constitute an acceptance thereof or a waiver of any term or condition hereof; rather, our failure to so object will be deemed a rejection of your objection, and for such an objection to be accepted by us and change these Solution Terms, we must agree in writing to your specific objection.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Order with us and these Solution Terms, and any Disputes arising out of or relating to them and the Nauto Solution, and, to the extent permitted by law, all related matters including non-contractual matters, and the enforcement thereof, will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law principles. In relation to such matters, you and Nauto each irrevocably accept the non-exclusive jurisdiction of courts having competent jurisdiction located in Santa Clara County, California and waive any right to object to the venue on any ground.

In relation to such matters, you and Nauto each irrevocably accept the non-exclusive jurisdiction of courts having competent jurisdiction located in London, England and waive any right to object to the venue on any ground.

In relation to such matter, you and Nauto each irrevocably: (i) agree that the courts of Ireland will have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute that may arise out of or in connection with such Order or these Solution Terms (including any non-contractual rights and obligations) and the documents to be entered into pursuant to the same and, accordingly, that proceedings arising out of or in connection with such Order and these Solution Terms, and any Disputes arising out of or relating to them and the Nauto Solution, and, to the extent permitted by law, all related matters including non-contractual matters, will be brought in such courts; and (ii) submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and waives any objection to proceedings being brought in any such court on the ground of venue or on the ground that the proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Dispute Resolution:
- Definition of Dispute: Dispute means any dispute, claim, cause of action, or controversy between you and us arising from or relating to an Order or these Solution Terms, or the Nauto Solution, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability, or scope of this clause (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver provision). This term is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced. As used in this Dispute Resolution provision, “party” or “parties” means either a party, or the parties, to the Dispute.
- Customer Support Resolution: Our customer support team is available to address concerns you may have regarding our products, software, and services. Most issues can be resolved in this manner. We encourage you to contact our customer support team prior to initiating the informal dispute resolution process.
- Required Informal Dispute Resolution: Except for IP Disputes and Disputes seeking a temporary restraining order, if you or Nauto have a Dispute with the other related to an Order or these Solution Terms or any matter related to the Nauto Solution, both must first attempt to resolve the Dispute informally before a lawsuit may be filed in court. You and Nauto will make a good-faith effort to negotiate for 30 days towards the resolution of the Dispute, or for a longer period as mutually agreed in writing by such parties (the Informal Resolution Period) from the day you or we receive a written notice of a Dispute from the other (a Dispute Notice). IP Disputes means any Dispute to the extent it relates to infringement of a party’s (or its licensors’) intellectual property rights (but excluding any privacy, data protection, or publicity rights).
The Informal Resolution Period is designed to allow the relevant parties to obtain an understanding regarding the Dispute and to allow the party receiving a Dispute Notice to make a fair, fact-based offer of resolution if it chooses to do so. During the Informal Resolution Period, the relevant parties will participate in an individual meet-and-confer (Meet-and-Confer) in person or, at a party’s election, via videoconference. The Meet-and-Confer will be scheduled on a date and time, during normal business hours, as mutually agreed by the relevant parties. The Meet-and-Confer will address only the Dispute between the relevant parties. If you are represented by legal counsel, your counsel may participate in the Meet-and-Confer, but you will need to be present for and during the entirety of the Meet-and-Confer. We will participate through one of our representatives, and our legal counsel may also be present. The relevant parties can file a lawsuit only upon completion of the Meet-and-Confer relating to the Dispute and only after the end of the Informal Resolution Period.
If you or Nauto file a lawsuit without complying with the requirements in this Dispute Resolution provision, including waiting until the conclusion of the Informal Resolution Period and completion of the Meet-and-Confer, the other party reserves the right to seek relief from a court to enjoin the filing and seek damages from the party who has not followed the requirements, including to reimburse that party for any reasonable costs and fees, including reasonable attorney and expert fees, costs, and disbursements.
- The statute of limitations and any filing-fee deadlines for a Dispute will be tolled for the duration of the Informal Resolution Period for that Dispute so that the relevant parties can engage in this informal dispute-resolution process.
- NOTHING HEREIN PRECLUDES YOU OR US FROM SEEKING IMMEDIATE INJUNCTIVE RELIEF BEFORE AN APPROPRIATE COURT WITH RESPECT TO A VIOLATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS, AN ONGOING OR RECURRING BREACH OF THE USAGE RULES, OR ENFORCEMENT OR RECOGNITION OF ANY AWARD OR ORDER IN ANY APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.
- YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ANY ACTION RELATED TO A DISPUTE MUST COMMENCE WITHIN TWELVE (12) MONTHS AFTER THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE DISPUTE OCCURS, OTHERWISE SUCH ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
WAIVER: ALL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR AS A NAMED OR UNNAMED MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL LEGAL ACTION, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE SPECIFICALLY AGREE TO DO SO IN WRITING FOLLOWING INITIATION OF AN ACTION.
No Third-Party Beneficiaries: Other than indemnitees pursuant to “Indemnification,” neither an Order with us nor these Solution Terms creates a contractual relationship between you and any third party, including any of the Nauto Parties other than us, and you are not a third-party beneficiary of any agreement between us and any third party. If any of the parties are in the UK, no person who is not a party to an Order with us, other than indemnitees, have any rights under the UK Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of such Order or these Solution Terms but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party that exists or is available apart from that Act.
Assignment: The parties agree that each party’s rights and obligations under an Order with us and these Solution Terms may not be assigned, delegated, or otherwise transferred to a third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either we or Customer may transfer or assign its respective rights and delegate its respective obligations under all Orders entered into between such Customer and us, to (a) a successor to all or substantially all of its business and assets, whether by sale, merger, operation of law, or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party but with notice, provided that such assignee or transferee (i) has agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of such Orders and these Solution Terms; (ii) its creditworthiness is generally equivalent to or better than that of the assigning party; and (iii) is located in a Supported Country and the use of the Nauto Solution is legal in that jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the successor (or an Affiliate of such successor) is a direct competitor of the other party, then the other party may terminate such Orders(s) and these Solution Terms within 30 days of receipt of such notice without liability (other than any Fees due as of, or accruing prior to, the effective date of termination). An assignment by a party to an Affiliate requires the consent of the other party and is subject to the limitations (i) through (iii) above mutatis mutandis, but will not otherwise be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For clarity, the sale or transfer of a Nauto Device or a Customer Vehicle does not result in an assignment or transfer of a subscription, an Order with us, or these Solution Terms unless it falls within (a) or (b) above.
U.S. GOVERNMENT RESTRICTED AND LIMITED RIGHTS: This Section applies to any Order in which Customer is a Government Entity in the US, including a US public educational institution. The Nauto Solution is provided with RESTRICTED RIGHTS. Use, duplication or disclosure by the Government Entity is subject to restrictions set forth in subparagraphs (a) through (d) of the Commercial Computer Software-Restricted Rights at FAR 52.227-19 when applicable, or in subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software section at DFARS 252.227-7013, and in similar sections in the NASA FAR supplement, as applicable. All data is provided with LIMITED RIGHTS and such data may be reproduced and used by the Government Entity with the express limitation that they will not, without written permission, be used for purposes of manufacture nor disclosed outside the Government Entity. Manufacturer is Nauto, Inc.
Government Flow-Downs: We do not accept any flow-down provisions under Government Entity prime contracts unless previously negotiated and agreed to in writing between us and Customer in each case. Any flow-down or similar provisions on Customer’s purchase orders or other documentation are disclaimed by and invalid as to us unless and to the extent such flow-downs are expressly agreed to by us in writing.
Force Majeure: Neither you nor we will be in breach of an Order with us or these Solution Terms nor liable for delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under an Order with us or these Solution Terms if such delay or failure results from or is due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including due to fire, lightning strike, flood, earthquake, or other natural disaster, sabotage, nuclear contamination, terrorism, war, insurrection, public health emergency, government-imposed measures responding to the outbreak of infectious disease, quarantine restrictions related to an infectious disease, zombie apocalypse, utility failure, telecommunications or power grid failure, service provider failure (including cloud services), hacking, denial of service, or similar attacks, third party strike or work stoppage, civil riot, or act or order of any court, government, or Government Entity (a Force Majeure Event). The party claiming the Force Majeure Event will promptly notify the other party of the event in writing of the Force Majeure Event and its expected duration and will use diligent efforts to mitigate the effects of the Force Majeure Event upon such party’s performance of its obligations under an Order with us or these Solution Terms. In such circumstances, such party will be entitled to a reasonable extension of the time for performing its obligations (and the other party will also be entitled to a reasonable extension of the time for performing its obligations to the extent due to the first party’s delay or nonperformance).If the period of delay or non-performance continues for ninety (90) days or longer, either party may terminate any impacted Orders upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other, otherwise, when such events have abated, the parties’ respective obligations hereunder will resume.
Miscellaneous: Each party agrees to do all things and execute all deeds, instruments, transfers, or other documents as may be necessary or desirable to give full effect to the provisions of these Solution Terms and the applicable Order(s) with us. The rights, powers, and remedies provided to a party in an Order with us and these Solution Terms are in addition to, and do not exclude or limit, any right, power, or remedy provided by law or equity or any other agreement. If any part of an Order with us or these Solution Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that portion will be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of an Order or these Solution Terms that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction is ineffective as to that jurisdiction only to the extent of the prohibition or unenforceability and does not invalidate the remaining provisions of such Order or these Solution Terms nor does it affect the validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction. No failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right, power, or remedy under an Order or these Solution Terms operates as a waiver. A single or partial exercise or waiver of the exercise of any right, power, or remedy does not preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other right, power or remedy. A waiver is not valid or binding on the party granting that waiver unless made in writing. Customer and Nauto are independent contractors and nothing in an Order or these Solution Terms creates a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship.
Counterparts and e-Signature: Orders and other related documents may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together will constitute the same agreement. Counterparts may be delivered via electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method, and any counterpart so delivered will be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
Third Party Software or Content: The Nauto Solution may contain or utilize third party software or content that requires notices and additional terms and conditions. Such third-party software or content notices and/or additional terms and conditions may be requested from us and are made a part of and incorporated by reference into these Solution Terms. By accepting these Solution Terms, you are also accepting the additional terms and conditions, if any, set forth therein.
