2.7 Packaging. The Services can be accessed by the Subscriber following the purchase of a Domotz Subscription Package (“Package”), either online or via contacting a Domotz sales representative. Different commercial Packages will have different limitations for the use of the Services. Packages are described in the Documentation. Limitations in each Package may refer to the following variables:

  • Number of “Persistent Device” (also referred to as “PD”), defined as an Asset reported by a Domotz Network Collector whose state is ON continuously (i.e. reporting a heartbeat) for longer than 24h. The assumption is that such an Asset, being on 24/7, is a fixed part of the corporate infrastructure thus serving a functional purpose. Mobile phones, laptops and any kind of transient or intermittent devices are very unlikely to be classified as a PD. PDs normally account for around 30%-40% of Assets which gain or try to obtain an IP address on that network. PDs help us measure the size and complexity of a network to determine a commercially appropriate for a use case. The number of PDs reported on a Domotz Network Collector is calculated on a daily basis by sampling it once per day.
  • Number of “Routed Network", defined as subnets which are reachable by the Domotz Network Collector from a physical network interface via a Layer 3 connection.
  • Number of “External Host”, defined as single digital Assets which are reachable by the Domotz Network Collector from a physical network interface via a Layer 3 connection.
  • Number of “Metrics”, defined as data variables or vectors associated to properties of a digital Asset (such as temperature, CPU consumptions, disk space, etc.) overtime.
  • “Configuration Management” defined as the ability to store, edit and retrieve a configuration management file in relation to an Asset via the Services.
  • “Allowed Netmask” is the netmask configuration of a Domotz Network Collector.
  • Number of “API Calls” relates to the ability by the subscriber to use the Services programmatically without needing to use the Domotz App.
  • “Traffic Transfer” refers to the quantity of data which transits via the Domotz cloud servers when a Subscriber establishes a VPN or a direct tunnelling session via a Domotz Network Collector during their use of the Services.

2.8 Domotz may offer additional products, services or enhanced functionality for Subscribers or End Users to purchase in accordance with the terms of this Agreement ("Additional Services"). At the Subscriber's or End User's option, the parties may agree in writing for the provision of Additional Services during the term of this Agreement by completing a specified order form.

2.9 The fee for providing Additional Services under this Section will be agreed by the parties prior to the performance of such Additional Services.

2.10 Fair Usage Policy. The Subscriber agrees to a fair and acceptable usage policy (“FUP”) which includes abiding to the limits embedded in the Packages, and in addition:

  • an allowance of 10GB of data transmitted to the Domotz Cloud per Agent Software per month and/or
  • an allowance of 5,000 API calls per day

This FUP allows us to charge a competitive entry price to all our customers according to their use cases. Should you exceed the FUP, Domotz reserves the right to apply a supplemental charge to cover the amount by which you exceed the allowance or, in alternative, to discontinue the provision of the Services to you.

ANNEX 1
ADDITIONAL HARDWARE TERMS

1. REJECTION OF ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT TERMS. The terms of this Agreement and Annex 1 are the exclusive terms upon which Domotz is willing to sell its own 'D' branded Hardware. These terms supersede and replace any prior agreement, undertaking, representation or warranty whether in writing or oral. Any different or additional terms and conditions on Subscriber's purchase order or other documentation shall not be binding on Domotz and are hereby expressly objected to and rejected.

2. DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE. Risk of loss or damage to Hardware shall pass to Subscriber upon Domotz's delivery to a carrier. Any delivery dates shown are approximate only and Domotz shall have no liability for any delays in delivery. Subscriber shall inspect Hardware for any damage within three (3) days after receipt. Failure to identify any damage and reject Hardware in writing within the three (3) day period shall constitute acceptance of the Hardware.

3. LIMITED WARRANTY. Domotz warrants that Domotz Hardware will conform in all material respects to the Documentation and be free from defects in material or workmanship for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase ("Warranty Period"). If, during the Warranty Period, the Subscriber notifies Domotz in writing of any fault or defect which prevents any Domotz Hardware from functioning in accordance with the Documentation, Domotz will, at its sole option and free of charge to Subscriber, repair, replace or refund the purchase price paid.

DOMOTZ MAKES NO OTHER EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AND MAKES NO IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE, USAGE IN TRADE, COURSE OF CONDUCT, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR INTEGRATION. DOMOTZ'S LIABILITY ON ANY WARRANTY CLAIM SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE ACTUAL PURCHASE PRICE PAID. DOMOTZ SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO SUBSCRIBER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, REVENUES, SALES, BUSINESS, GOODWILL OR USE.

The foregoing warranty expressly excludes and Domotz will not repair, replace, or provide refunds to Customers in the following instances:

  • If the alleged defect arises because Subscriber (or someone acting under the Subscriber's instruction) has altered or repaired Domotz Hardware without the prior written consent or authorization of Domotz;
  • If Subscriber did not follow any applicable instructions for proper storage, usage, or maintenance of Domotz Hardware;
  • If Subscriber has failed to notify Domotz of any defect where the defect should have been reasonably apparent on inspection; or
  • If Subscriber fails to notify Domotz of any defect within 12 months of purchase.

This warranty does not cover the cost of shipping the defective hardware to Domotz for repair, or the cost of shipping the repaired or replacement hardware to Subscriber. The above represents the Subscriber's sole and exclusive remedy and is contingent on the Subscriber providing all necessary information to assist Domotz in attempting to resolve the alleged fault or defect.
