SAVANT TERMS OF SERVICE

Savant Systems, Inc. (“Savant”, “we” “our” or “us”) offers the Savant Home family of smart home products of which certain products include embedded software (“Product Software”, and together with the purchased hardware product will be referred to as “Products” herein), related software applications, including any mobile software application, known as the Savant Application (“Savant App”, “Savant Mobile App” or “App”), the related Savant Website Application (“WebApp”) and subscription services available through our website (“Site”), the App and WebApp (“Subscription Services”). The Site, App, WebApp and Subscription Services are the “Services”. These Terms of Service (“Terms” or “Agreement”) govern your use of our Products (excluding a separate hardware limited warranty that was part of your purchase of the hardware product) and Services (collectively, Products and Services are the “Savant Home System”).

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS VERY CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE FOLLOWING TERMS, DO NOT DOWNLOAD, INSTALL, OR IN ANY WAY ACCESS OR USE THE SAVANT HOME SYSTEM. BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING OR ACCESSING AND USING THE SAVANT HOME SYSTEM THROUGH THE Savant App OR WEBAPP, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AUTHORITY AND CAPACITY TO AGREE AND ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND AGREE WITH AND ACCEPT ALL OF THE FOLLOWING TERMS. These Terms (combined with Privacy Policy and other user agreements in some cases) constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Savant.

Savant has its principal place of business at 45 Perseverance Way, Hyannis, MA 02601. Savant customer support is available on the Site at: https://savant.com/support/savant-pro and under a separate Software Support Services Agreement to be entered into by and between Savant Systems, Inc. and you.

Please read these Terms closely because they contain important information about automatic renewal, a class action waiver, and an arbitration provision, requiring you to arbitrate any claims you may have against Savant on an individual basis. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE, THE RIGHT FOR A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.

If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not purchase, download, access, or use our Products or Services.

GENERAL

This Agreement in combination with any written limited warranty included in or on Product packaging whether obtained directly from Savant or a Savant authorized dealer, the Software Support Services Agreement, and our App Privacy Policy (see below) represents the entire understanding between you and Savant relating to your purchase or use of the Products and Services and prevails over any prior or contemporaneous, conflicting, or additional communications between you and Savant. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Savant. However, to the extent your use of a Product or Service involves or is integrated with products or services of third-party companies, any terms and policies covering those products or services shall also apply.

The term “you,” as used in these Terms, includes any person or entity who downloads the App or WebApp, uses the Services, creates an account, and commissions one or more Products in the App or WebApp (“Owner”), as well as any person or entity allowed or authorized to access or use the Owner’s Products and Services or set up an account on the Owner’s behalf (“Authorized Users”). Depending on the administrative rights you have given to an Authorized User, such Authorized User may have the ability to use the Services, view, monitor and control your use of the Products and Services, including but not limited to, turning on or off cameras, your entry and security systems, your climate systems, lighting and see your personal information. Owners are responsible for their own actions in connection with the Products and Services, and if you have authorized any additional users, Owner hereby consents to these terms on behalf of all Authorized Users and agrees to be fully responsible for all actions taken by Authorized Users relating to the Owner’s Products, Services and account. As a result, if you are an Owner, you should authorize only those individuals that you trust to access your account, Products, and Services. You must instruct all persons who use the Savant Home System on its proper use. Savant shall have no liability for any losses or damages resulting from any Authorized Users’ use of the Savant Home System.

You must be at least 18 years old (or equivalent minimum age in the jurisdiction where you reside) to use the Products and Services by entering into these Terms. If you are between the ages of 13 (or equivalent minimum age in the jurisdiction where you reside) and 17, you may use our Products and Services only with the consent and under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a user between the ages of 13 and 17 (inclusive), you consent to these terms on behalf of such user and you are fully responsible for the acts of such user in relation to our Products and Services. If you’re agreeing to these Terms on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to these Terms on behalf of that organization or entity and to bind them to these Terms (in which case, the references to “you” and “your” in these Terms, except for in this sentence, refer collectively to you personally and to that organization or entity). Any use or access to the Products and Services by individuals under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in the jurisdiction where you reside) is strictly prohibited and is a violation of these Terms.

You understand and agree that the Savant Home System is a service that provides non-time critical information and control over Savant Products and Services, and that the Savant Home System is not intended to be 100% reliable or available 100% of the time due to the numerous dependencies on the Savant Home System not within the control of Savant. We cannot and do not guarantee that you will receive a notification within any given time or at all. It is your responsibility to test and maintain any Products on a regular basis including checking for battery replacement. You acknowledge and accept these limitations and agree that Savant is not responsible for any damages allegedly caused by the failure or delay of the Services.

THE SAVANT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE NOT A THIRD-PARTY MONITORED EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM. FURTHER, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL SAVANT DISPATCH EMERGENCY SERVICES TO YOUR HOME OR CONTACT EMERGENCY SERVICES IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. IN NO EVENT SHOULD YOU CONTACT SAVANT CUSTOMER SUPPORT IN AN EMERGENCY. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU MUST CONTACT 911, LOCAL POLICE OR FIRE OR OTHER APPROPRIATE LOCAL AUTHORITIES IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY.

Except as set forth in the Dispute Resolution section, Savant may modify, update or supplement these Terms at any time by making the updated Terms available through a link in the App, WebApp and on our Site: https://www.savant.com/terms-of-service. By continuing to use the Products and Services after such changes, you are expressing your acknowledgement and acceptance of the changes and agreement to be bound by such terms. In the event of any error, omission, or other discrepancies between these Terms, including any amendments thereto, and the Terms made publicly available by Savant on our Site, the terms of the latter shall prevail. You may not modify these Terms by making or attempting to make any changes for any purpose. Please check these Terms periodically for updates.

We’re always trying to improve our Products and Services, so they may change over time. We may suspend or discontinue support for any Product; we may suspend or discontinue any part of the App, WebApp, Product Software or the Services; we may introduce new features or impose limits on certain features; or we may restrict access to parts or all of the App, WebApp, Product Software or Services. These Terms will govern any upgrades provided by Savant that replace and/or supplement prior versions of the Product or the Services, unless such upgrade is accompanied by new or additional Terms in which case those Terms will govern, as applicable.

Savant is also free to terminate (or suspend access to) your use of the Services or your account, for any reason in our discretion, including your breach of these Terms. We have the sole right to decide whether you are in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in these Terms. You agree not to hold us liable for any losses you may experience as a result of our suspension of your Services or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Mandatory, Bilateral Arbitration and Waiver of Class Actions

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

YOU AND SAVANT AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR TO THE CONTENT, ANY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN US AND/OR ANY RECORDING ON THE SERVICES AND/OR PRODUCTS SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY FINAL AND BINDING, BILATERAL ARBITRATION, except that:

1. you may assert claims in small claims court in your county of residence within the United States if your claims qualify; and
2. this agreement to arbitrate does not include your or Savant’s right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in state or federal court in the city or county of Wilmington, Delaware to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.

The Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement and govern all questions as to whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. An arbitrator, however, can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Terms.

“Disputes” shall include, but are not limited to, any claims or controversies between you and Savant against each other related in any way to or arising out of in any way from this Agreement, the Products, Services or the Content, including but not limited to cancellations, defects, policies, privacy, advertising, or any communications between you and Savant, even if the claim arises after you or Savant has terminated Services or a user account. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, claims that: (a) you bring against our officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, or other representatives; or (b) Savant brings against you. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, (i) claims in any way related to or arising out of any aspect of the relationship between you and Savant, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, advertising claims, or any other legal theory; (ii) claims that arose before these Terms or out of a prior set of Terms with Savant; (iii) claims that are subject to on-going litigation where you are not a party or a class member; and/or (iv) claims that arise after the termination of these Terms.

DISPUTE NOTICE

Before initiating an arbitration, you and Savant each agree to first provide the other a written notice (“Notice of Dispute”), which shall contain: (a) a written description of the problem and relevant documents and supporting information; and (b) a statement of the specific relief sought. A Notice of Dispute should be sent to: Savant Systems, Inc. 45 Perseverance Way, Hyannis, MA 02601 Attention: Legal Department. We will provide a Notice of Dispute to you via the email address associated with your Savant account. You and Savant agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute before commencing an arbitration and not to commence an arbitration proceeding until a forty-five (45) day post-notice resolution period expires.

ARBITRATION PROCESS AND PROCEDURE

If Savant and you do not reach an agreed upon solution within forty-five (45) days from the original Dispute Notice, then either of us may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to these Terms. Arbitration shall (1) be administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures then in effect (the “JAMS Rules”) and as modified by this agreement to arbitrate, including the rules regarding filing, administration, discovery, and arbitrator fees; (2) be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator; and (3) take place in Wilmington, Delaware. To the extent that this agreement to arbitrate conflicts with the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards for Procedural Fairness (the “Minimum Standards”), the Minimum Standards in that regard will apply.

WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. Further, unless both of us expressly agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

If, for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive our right to a jury trial.

YOU THEREFORE UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND SAVANT ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION FOR ANY CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

The JAMS Rules are available on its website at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/. Notwithstanding any JAMS Rules to the contrary or any other provision in the arbitration rules chosen, by agreement, to govern, you and Savant each agree that all issues regarding the Dispute are delegated to the arbitrator to decide. Further, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

HEARING

If your claim does not exceed $10,000 (USD), you and Savant agree to waive an oral hearing by the arbitrator and the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Savant submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. To the extent an oral hearing is requested by you or Savant, or deemed necessary by the arbitrator, you and Savant agree that the hearing will be conducted telephonically or videographically.

ARBITRATOR’S DECISION

An arbitrator’s award will be a written statement of the disposition of each claim and will also provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions which form the basis of the award. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with some limited court review under the FAA, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

FEES

It is each parties’ responsibility to pay any JAMS filing, case management/administrative, and arbitrator fees as set forth in the JAMS Rules.
