Terms and Condition

These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms and Conditions”) are incorporated by reference into, and govern the obligations of (a) either (i) Recycle Track Systems, Inc., a New York corporation (“Pello US”), or (ii) its wholly-owned subsidiary, RecycleSmart Solutions, Inc., a British Columbia corporation (“Pello CA”), that is a party to Order Form (as defined below) in which these Terms and Conditions are referenced (as the case may be, “Pello”), and (b) the customer (the “Customer”) arising under and with respect to, the certain Order Form (as defined below) in which these Terms and Conditions are referenced, and any subsequent Order Form between Pello and Customer referencing these Terms.

These Terms and Conditions, all Order Forms, and any other terms or agreements referenced therein, collectively, the “Agreement.” In the event of a conflict between an Order Form and/or its Attachment and these Terms and Conditions, the Order Form and/or its attachments shall prevail.

1. SERVICES AND SUPPORT

1.1 Services Generally. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Pello will provide Customer the Services described in one or more order forms (each, an “Order Form”) entered into by Pello and Customer that reference these Terms and Conditions, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the terms and conditions contained in such Order Form) (“Services”). Pello may modify or add features to the Services at any time provided that any such modification does not materially reduce the functionality of the Services; Pello may require the payment of additional fees to access such modifications or new features, and such modifications or new features may require Customer to purchase new Sensors or upgrade Sensors.

1.2 Sensors Required. The Services require access to Customer Data as provided by one or more hardware devices deployed at Customer-serviced locations that interoperate with the Services (collectively, “Sensors”). Sensors may be provided from Pello to Customer on a “hardware-as-a-service” basis as part of the Services, to the extent described on the Order Form (all Sensors provided by Pello are “Pello Sensors”). Pello may permit the Services to interact with other Sensors that are not Pello Sensors; such Sensors are Third-Party Technology (as defined below). Customer is responsible for installing and maintaining all Sensors; Pello may from time to time make installation and maintenance services available to Customer under separate terms and conditions and subject to the payment of additional fees under such separate terms and conditions.

1.3 Implementation. Pello will perform certain implementation services if and to the extent expressly set forth in the Order Form, which may consist of tasks such as configuring imports from supported data sources into the Services, in each case as mutually agreed. Each of Pello and Customer will fulfill its respective obligations under the Implementation Plan (as defined in the Order Form) and will cooperate with the other to permit the timely performance thereunder. Pello’s obligations under the Implementation Plan are contingent upon Customer’s timely performance of its obligations, Customer’s reasonable cooperation and any assumptions included in the Order Form or otherwise communicated by Pello to Customer. All dates and fees under the Implementation Plan are estimates made for project planning purposes only. Any changes to the scope of the Implementation Plan shall become effective only upon the execution of a written amendment by authorized representatives of Pello and Customer.

1.4 Integration of Non-Pello Platforms. Customer may choose to use features within the Services that involve integrations with Third-Party Technology, and may enable data exchange between the Services and the applicable Third-Party Technology. “Third-Party Technology” means any platform, add-on, service or product provided by any third party that Customer elects to integrate or enable for use with the Services, including Customer’s own systems, software, connectivity and communications technologies (such as cellular networks, satellites, or internet service providers) or third party infrastructure (including hardware) such as Sensors or cameras. Use of Third-Party Technology is subject to Customer’s agreement with the Third-Party Technology provider. The Services may permit Authorized Users (as defined below) to transmit information to and from Third-Party Technology owned or managed by Customer, including via application programming interface, code snippet or other software, flat file upload, file transfer protocol, or otherwise. Any such Third-Party Technology, or any other Third-Party Technology owned or controlled by Customer that interacts with the Services or any output thereof, is a “Customer System”. Customer acknowledges and agrees that in order to perform the Services, Pello must be able to, and Customer hereby grants Pello the right to access, test, and periodically audit any Customer System and its connection to the Services. Pello does not control and has no responsibility or liability whatsoever for Customer Systems, including their security, functionality, operation, availability or interoperability.

1.5 Suspension. Pello may suspend Customer’s access to the Services in whole or in part if Customer breaches this Agreement or if Customer’s actions risk harm to Pello or other customers or the security, availability or integrity of the Services. Where practicable, Pello will use reasonable efforts to provide Customer with prior notice of the suspension. Once Customer resolves the issue requiring suspension, Pello will promptly restore Customer’s access to the Services.

Customer shall make no modifications or alterations to any Pello Sensor or component thereof.

3.5 Loss. Customer bears the entire risk of any Pello Sensor being lost, stolen, destroyed or otherwise rendered unfit or unavailable for use from any cause whatsoever (“Event of Loss”) while the Pello Sensor is in Customer’s possession. If an Event of Loss occurs, Customer shall promptly notify Pello thereof. Within sixty (60) days following an Event of Loss, unless the Pello Sensor is lost or stolen, Customer shall uninstall and return to Pello, at Customer’s sole cost, the affected Pello Sensor, and shall pay to Pello the purchase price for a replacement Pello Sensor.

3.6 Customer Responsibility for Compatibility. Customer acknowledges that Customer has verified the compatibility of the Pello Sensors with the site and specific hardware and related equipment and utilities where the Pello Sensors will be used. Such determination is Customer’s sole responsibility. Lack of compatibility is not a valid claim under Pello’s warranty and does not entitle Customer to any refund
