    • Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) any and all acts of Customer taken in connection with the Services or the Contract, whether on the Site (including the Portal) or via the Denowatts App, any Denowatts API or otherwise, including acceptance of the Order Quotation, these Terms, any Additional Terms of Service or the other terms and documents comprising the Contract, shall be done only by its Authorized Users, (ii) all acts or omissions of such Authorized Users shall be deemed to be the acts or omissions of Customer, (iii) Customer shall, at all times, ensure the full compliance by each such Authorized User with all provisions of the Contract, (iv) Customer shall be liable and responsible directly to Denowatts for any acts or omissions of each such Authorized User, including any violation of the Contract or applicable law, and (v) Denowatts shall have no duty or obligation to verify the matters set forth in the preceding clauses (i) or (iii), and no liability for any failure of any such Authorized User to meet any eligibility or other requirements imposed by the Contract.
    • Customer hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that: (i) each of its Authorized Users has full, actual and necessary right, power, capacity, authorization and authority to agree, accept or sign, on behalf of, and in the name of, Customer, and otherwise bind Customer to, these Terms and the other portions of the Contract; (ii) Denowatts shall have no duty or obligation to investigate, verify, or confirm the foregoing matter; (iii) Denowatts is hereby expressly entitled and authorized to (and may reasonably) rely on any such agreement, acceptance or signature by such Authorized User as full evidence of such Authorized User’s full, actual and necessary right, power, capacity, authorization and authority in connection therewith; and (iv) without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3(c), Customer shall take all actions, and provide all evidence, reasonably requested by Denowatts, from time to time, in order to demonstrate and verify such right, power, capacity, authorization and authority of each Authorized User.
  2. Revisions to the Contract. Denowatts may (without liability or penalty of any kind) change or modify the Contract (including these Terms) at any time and from time to time (“Revisions”) by posting such Revisions to the applicable Site (including the Portal) or the Denowatts App and, in the case of these Terms, changing the “Date of Last Revision” above. Revisions will be effective (and become part of the Contract) immediately upon such posting; provided, however, that (i) Denowatts shall provide written notice of such Revisions to Customer by sending notice via email to the email address provided by Customer to Denowatts on the Order Form or at anytime thereafter, (ii) Customer shall have 15 days after the date of such notice to notify Denowatts in writing of any objections that Customer may have with such Revisions (and Customer shall be deemed to have agreed to such Revisions if such objection notice is not provided to Denowatts within such 15-day period), and (iii) in the event of any such objections, Denowatts and Customer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such objections within 30 days after receipt by Denowatts of such objection notice; provided further that (A) any waiver, modification or amendment to such Revisions that are agreed to by Denowatts and Customer in connection with such resolution shall be set forth in a jointly executed written amendment to the Contract, and (B) in the event Denowatts and Customer fail to reach resolution within such 30‑day period, (x) the Contract shall automatically terminate effective as of the expiration of such 30-day period and (y) Denowatts will, within 30 days after the effective date of such termination, refund a pro-rata portion of the Service Fee (excluding the Setup Fee), based on the number of days remaining in the then current Initial Period or Renewal Period (as the case may be), as determined by Denowatts in its sole discretion. In no event shall the Equipment Price or (except as provided in the preceding sentence) other Payment Amounts required to be paid under the Contract (or any portion thereof) be refunded.
  3. Payment, Shipping, Inspection and Return.
    • Customer or Provider (as applicable) shall pay the Service Fee, Equipment Price and any other fees and charges (including any applicable shipping and handling charges), and the Taxes (as defined below), each as described, and at the time(s) specified, on the Order Quotation, in the Portal or Denowatts App, or on any invoice provided by Denowatts to Customer (collectively, the “Payment Amounts”). Customer or Provider (as applicable) shall pay, and be fully responsible for, all fees, sales, use, excise and other taxes, customs, duties, tariffs, and other charges of any nature which may be imposed in connection with the Contract, Services or Equipment, other than any taxes upon, or measured by, Denowatts income (“Taxes”). Service Fees are subject to increase with respect to any Renewal Period or extension of the then-current Subscription Period. Customer (or any Provider responsible for payment hereunder) shall pay to Denowatts, from time to time, upon request, interest on overdue amounts under the Contract at the rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less. In addition, Customer (or any Provider responsible for payment hereunder) shall, immediately upon request and from time to time, reimburse Denowatts for all costs and expenses incurred by Denowatts (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with collecting any such undisputed overdue amounts. Acceptable forms of payment are by ACH, electronic fund transfer, credit card or check, as identified during the checkout process on the applicable Site, or on any invoice provided by Denowatts, or otherwise acceptable to Denowatts.
    • Denowatts shall have no obligation to provide any Services or other Accessible Items, or to sell or ship any Equipment, (and may, at the sole discretion of Denowatts and without any liability, delay or suspend the provision of any Services or other Accessible Items or sale or shipping any Equipment) until Denowatts is in receipt of all Payment Amounts and other amounts required to be paid under the Contract. Denowatts reserves the right to ship via USPS or any other carrier of equal or lesser cost. If expedited shipping is required, Customer shall select that as its shipping choice on the Order Form. Customer hereby agrees that Denowatts (i) will not be able to change the shipping address once the shipment has been prepared or has shipped, (ii) shall not be responsible for any delays or problems with shipping or delivery once the Equipment has been shipped, (iii) does not provide insurance on any Equipment during shipment and delivery, and (iv) may require its carriers to obtain a signature upon delivery for all orders. Shipping charges are based on the shipping address specified on the Order Quotation and desired shipping method.
    • Customer (or the Provider ordering and receiving the Equipment), as the case may be, shall fully inspect the Equipment upon receipt thereof, and prior to installation or use thereof. Customer or such Provider (as the case may be) shall have the right, at any time within 30 days after its receipt of the Equipment (the “Return Period”) to return to Denowatts (at Customer’s or such Provider’s (as the case may be) sole cost, expense and risk of loss) any or all such Equipment that is defective or not conforming to the Order Quotation. No such return shall be valid or accepted by Denowatts unless such Equipment is actually received by Denowatts in new, unused, uninstalled condition (and without any damage caused by Customer or such Provider) during the Return Period. Unless Customer or such Provider (as the case may be) so returns such Equipment to Denowatts within the Return Period, it shall be conclusively presumed that the Equipment is in good condition, repair and working order satisfactory in all respects, and suitable for the intended purpose, and shall constitute acceptance of such Equipment. Neither Customer nor any Provider shall have any right to revoke acceptance. Denowatts, in its sole discretion, may reject any return of Equipment if it, in its sole discretion, finds that such Equipment is not defective and otherwise conforming to the Order Quotation. Denowatts’ sole and exclusive liability, and Customer’s or such Provider’s (as the case may be) sole and exclusive remedy, in connection with any defective or non-conforming Equipment properly and timely returned to Denowatts (and accepted for return by Denowatts) in accordance with this Section 5(c) shall be, at Denowatts’ option and cost, to replace or exchange such Equipment with the same or substantially similar Equipment in a reasonably prompt manner.
  4. Term of the Contract; Termination.
    • The term of the Contract shall commence upon the date of acceptance of the Order Quotation by Customer or Provider (as the case may be) and expire upon the termination or expiration of the Subscription Period, unless the Contract is earlier terminated in accordance with this Section 6(a), pursuant to Section 4 above or pursuant to any other express provision contained in the Contract. Denowatts may: (i) terminate the Contract and Customer’s and each Provider’s’ right to use the Accessible Items immediately upon written notice in the event that Customer or any Provider (or any Authorized User of Customer or any such Provider) is in breach of, or default under, any provision of the Contract (with the termination of the Subscription Period becoming effective upon such termination of the Contract); and (ii) elect to stop the Subscription Period from automatically renewing by providing written notice of non-renewal to Customer during the then-current Initial Period or Renewal Period, as the case may be, and at least 30 days prior to the commencement of the next Renewal Period (with the expiration of the Subscription Period (and term of the Contract) becoming effective upon the expiration of the then-current Initial Period or Renewal Period, as the case may be). Customer may terminate the Subscription Period at any time, for any reason or no reason, by providing at least 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to Denowatts (with the termination of the Subscription Period (and term of the Contract) becoming effective upon the date that is 30 days after the date of receipt by Denowatts of such notice or, if later, the date of termination (if any) specified in such notice).
    • The expiration or termination of the Contract for any reason shall automatically and immediately result in the termination of the Subscription Period, Services and Customer’s right and license to use the Accessible Items (other than the Raw Equipment Data). Without limiting the foregoing, upon any such termination or expiration, Customer (i) shall immediately cease use of all Software, Services, Reports, Denowatts Data and other Accessible Items (other than Raw Equipment Data), and (ii) may (but shall not be obligated to) return the Equipment to Denowatts (at Denowatts’ reasonable cost). Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon expiration or termination of the Contract, or upon termination or suspension of the Services, neither the Deno(s) nor the Gateway(s) purchased will continue to operate or send or receive data. No termination by Denowatts of the Contract or any Services shall release Customer from any then outstanding or surviving obligations to Denowatts under the Contract. In the event of any such expiration or termination (other than as provided in Section 4 above), no Service Fee or other Payment Amounts (including any such amounts paid in advance) shall be refundable. Each of the following provisions of these Terms shall survive any expiration or termination of the Contract: Sections 1; 2 (other than 2(c)(ii)); 3; 5(a); 6(b); 7(c), (d), (e) and (f); 8 (other than Sections 8(a) and (c)); 9; 10; 11(e), (f), (g), (h), (i) and (j); and 12 through 18, inclusive.
  5. Use of Equipment, Accessible Items and Confidential Information.
    • Customer shall be responsible, at its cost, for the installation of Equipment at the Equipment Location. Customer shall, except with the prior written consent of Denowatts, maintain and operate the Equipment only at the Equipment Location. Customer shall provide Denowatts with reasonable advance notice in writing of any desire by Customer to change the Equipment Location. Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that any consent provided by Denowatts to change the Equipment Location may result in, and be contingent upon, the payment to Denowatts by Customer of additional charges and fees. Denowatts shall have the right (and Customer hereby grants Denowatts permission) to enter the Equipment Location at all reasonable times, during normal business hours, and with at least 24 hours’ advance notice to Customer, for purposes of inspecting, maintaining, upgrading or testing the Software or Services, or for any other legitimate business reason of Denowatts.
    • Provided that none of Customer, any of its Providers, or any Authorized User of Customer or any such Provider is in breach of the Contract (including the payment provisions thereof), and subject to the other provisions of these Terms and the Contract, Denowatts hereby grants to Customer, during the Subscription Period only, a limited, revocable, terminable, royalty-free, non-exclusive, nontransferable and nonassignable license, without the right to sublicense, to: (i) access and use the Services and other Accessible Items (other than the Denowatts App, Software and Raw Equipment Data) provided by Denowatts or produced via the Services, solely and strictly in accordance with the requirements of these Terms and the Contract; (ii) download, install and use, in object code format only, one copy of the Denowatts App and Portal Software on each of its Authorized User’s Devices (A) solely in order to access and use the Services and (B) solely and strictly in accordance with the requirements of these Terms and the Contract; and (iii) execute and run the Equipment Software, in object code format only, solely (A) on, and as an embedded component of, the Denos and Gateways purchased under the Order Quotation and installed on Customer’s applicable PV System at the Equipment Location (and never separate, apart or removed from such Equipment), (B) to enable such Equipment to function, and (C) solely and strictly in accordance with the requirements of these Terms and the Contract. Except as expressly provided in the Contract, Denowatts is not granting any right or license to Customer or any of its Authorized Users (by implication or otherwise, under the Contract) in or to (or to use) the Software, and all rights not expressly granted to Customer and its Authorized Users by Denowatts relating in any way to the Contract are reserved for Denowatts.
    • Except only as otherwise expressly permitted by Section 7(d) below with respect to Raw Equipment Data, Customer shall use the Services and other Accessible Items, only (i) during the Subscription Period, (ii) in accordance with applicable laws (including export control laws), (iii) for their intended commercial purpose, (iv) for Customer’s own internal business purposes of managing and operating Customer’s applicable PV System, and (v) in accordance with all Documentation and all other requirements as may be specified on the Site (including the Portal), or the Denowatts App or otherwise by Denowatts.
    • Subject to the other provisions of these Terms and the Contract, Denowatts hereby grants to Customer a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty free, fully-paid, perpetual, irrevocable, non-terminable, assignable right and license (with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers) to, at any time (including after the termination or expiration of the Subscription Period or the Contract), and in accordance with applicable laws (including export control laws): (i) freely use, copy, analyze, reformat, translate, modify, prepare derivative works of, or otherwise fully exploit any Raw Equipment Data for any business or commercial purpose determined by Customer, in its sole discretion, including for developing or improving its products or services; and (ii) disclose, display, provide access to, transfer, sell, resell, license, sublicense or rent (or to authorize or permit its contractors to disclose, display, provide access to, transfer, sell, resell, license, sublicense or rent) to any third party, the public, any government or any person or entity, for any business or commercial purpose, any or all Raw Equipment Data. For purposes of clarity, the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(d) shall apply only to Customer’s right to use Raw Equipment Data (in and of itself), and nothing in this Section shall, or shall be deemed to, (A) expand or alter Customer’s rights under the Contract to use or access any other Accessible Items (including any Denowatts Data, any Denowatts API, the Services, the Portal or the Denowatts App) or (B) eliminate or alter any limitations or restrictions imposed on, or applying or relating to, such rights.
    • Without limiting the foregoing provisions of Section 7(a) or (c), Customer shall not (whether directly or indirectly (including on behalf of or in association with any other person or entity)) (i) sell, transfer, assign, license, sublicense, loan, lease, distribute, copy, reproduce, otherwise make available, allow any download, installation or use by, or provide access to, third parties, display, publicly perform or otherwise exploit all or any portion of the Denowatts Technology and Data (other than the Raw Equipment Data), or attempt to do any of the foregoing, (ii) reverse engineer, decompile, decrypt, disassemble, access, disclose, or otherwise attempt to derive or access any of the source code of any or all of the Denowatts Technology and Data (or attempt to do any of the foregoing), (iii) create, incur, assume or allow to exist any Lien (as defined below) on, or with respect to, any or all of the Denowatts Technology and Data (or attempt to do any of the foregoing), (iv) remove or extract (or attempt to remove or extract) the Equipment Software from any Equipment or otherwise, (v) remove or obscure (or attempt to remove or obscure) any identification or proprietary rights notices on any or all of the Denowatts Technology and Data, (vi) use (or attempt to use) any or all of the Denowatts Technology and Data (other than the Raw Equipment Data) for timesharing or service bureau purposes, as an application service provider, on behalf of third parties, or to make competing products, software, services, equipment or other items, (vii) conduct, or publish or disclose (or attempt to do any of the foregoing) to any third party the results of, any benchmark, capacity, performance, security or vulnerability tests or other evaluations run on any or all of the Denowatts Technology and Data, (viii) interfere (or attempt to interfere) with the operation of any or all of the Denowatts Technology and Data or its use by others, or circumvent (or attempt to circumvent) its access restrictions, (ix) transmit or use any Virus (or attempt to transmit any Virus to, or use any Virus with) any or all of the Denowatts Technology and Data, (x) use (or attempt to use) any robot, spider, data scraping or extraction tool, or similar mechanism with or in connection with any or all of the Denowatts Technology and Data, or (xi) make (or attempt to make) any enhancements, modifications, improvements, derivative works, alterations or additions to any or all of the Equipment or Denowatts Technology and Data (other than the Raw Equipment Data), but, in any event, all such enhancements, modifications, improvements, derivative works, alterations or additions (regardless of being made in contravention of the Contract) shall be deemed to be “Developments” (as defined below).
    • Customer shall hold in confidence all Confidential Information at all times, use the Confidential Information solely for the purposes expressly permitted under the Contract, and not disclose any or all of Confidential Information to any third party. Customer shall maintain the Confidential Information in confidence using at least the same degree of care as it employs in maintaining in confidence its own confidential or proprietary information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Customer shall promptly notify Denowatts of any actual or suspected violation of the terms of this Section 7(f) and shall take (at its sole cost and expense) all reasonable further steps requested by the Denowatts to prevent, control or remedy any such violation. Upon termination or expiration of the Contract, or upon the request of Denowatts, Customer shall return to Denowatts or destroy, or do some combination thereof (and certify in writing to Denowatts as to such return or destruction, as applicable) with respect to, all of the Confidential Information received by, or in the possession or control of, the Customer, including any notes, reports or other documents prepared by the Customer which contain Confidential Information, in each case, as elected by Denowatts, in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, Customer shall continue to be bound by its obligations of confidentiality and other obligations under this Section 7(f). Any Confidential Information (or portion thereof) shall not (i) be excluded from Customer’s obligations under this Section 7(f), (ii) lose its status as “Confidential Information” or otherwise have such status undermined in any way, or (iii) be deemed to be generally known or available to the public, in each case, merely because (A) such Confidential Information (or portion thereof) is embraced by more general information or embodied in general disclosures or (B) individual components of such Confidential Information (or portion thereof) is or becomes published or known to the public, including any such component that consists of, reflects or otherwise relates to any Raw Equipment Data.
  6. Certain Services and Use by Denowatts of Customer Data.

    • Customer hereby consents, acknowledges and agrees that any and all Customer Data may be collected, used and disclosed by Denowatts as provided in this Section 8, Section 2, Section 14 and elsewhere in the Contract.
    • Customer hereby grants to Denowatts an unlimited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty free, fully-paid, irrevocable, assignable right and license (with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers), during the Subscription Period, to (i) freely use, copy, analyze, reformat, translate, modify, or prepare derivative works of any and all Customer Data and (ii) disclose, display, provide access to, transfer, license or sublicense (or to authorize or permit its Contractors to disclose, display, provide access to, transfer, license or sublicense) any and all Customer Data to any Contractor; in each case, solely for purposes of providing the Services, including for generating or producing Denowatts Data or Reports.
    • Customer hereby grants to Denowatts an unlimited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty free, fully-paid, perpetual, irrevocable, non-terminable, assignable right and license (with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers) to, at any time (including after the termination or expiration of the Subscription Period or the Contract): (i) freely use, copy, analyze, reformat, translate, modify, prepare derivative works of, or otherwise fully exploit any Redacted Data for any business, commercial or other purpose determined by Denowatts, in its sole discretion, including for developing or improving its products or services, or providing products or services to Denowatts’ other customers; and (ii) disclose, display, provide access to, transfer, sell, resell, license, sublicense or rent (or to authorize or permit its Contractors to disclose, display, provide access to, transfer, sell, resell, license, sublicense or rent) to any third party, the public, any government or any person or entity, for any business, commercial or other purpose, any or all Redacted Data (whether alone, in aggregated form, or together with Denowatts Data or information or data of other customers of Denowatts).
    • Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Denowatts Data is generated by, or results from, use by Denowatts of certain proprietary, patent-pending or patent-protected technology, methodologies, know-how, systems, processes, devices, inventions, algorithms, procedures or techniques (collectively, “Methodologies”), which constitute valuable property of Denowatts; (ii) as between Customer and Denowatts, (A) all Denowatts Data (other than Raw Equipment Data) and Methodologies are Confidential Information, and (B) except only for the limited licenses expressly granted by Denowatts under the Contract, Denowatts retains all right, title and interest in and to all Denowatts Data and Methodologies (and Customer is not receiving any license or right in or to any of the Methodologies, by implication or otherwise, under the Contract); (iii) Customer will use all Denowatts Data (other than the Raw Equipment Data) only for managing and operating Customer’s own applicable PV System (and will not sell, resell, lease, assign, distribute or otherwise transfer any Denowatts Data (other than the Raw Equipment Data) or Methodologies); and (iv) Customer shall not disclose any Denowatts Data (other than the Raw Equipment Data) or Methodologies to any person or entity (other than Denowatts).
  7. Ownership of Equipment, Software and Services.
    • Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Contract: (i) if and to the extent actually provided to, or downloaded, installed, accessed or used by, Customer, all Software and other Accessible Items are being licensed (and not sold) by Denowatts, as and only to the extent expressly provided elsewhere in these Terms; and (ii) as between Customer and Denowatts, Denowatts (or its Contractor(s)) retain sole and exclusive (A) ownership of, and title to, all Denowatts Technology and Data, and (B) copyright, trade secret, patent, trademark, intellectual property and other proprietary rights in and to all Equipment, Denowatts Technology and Data and other property of Denowatts or its Contractor(s) (collectively, the “Denowatts IP”). Customer shall have no right, license title, or interest in or to (I) any Denowatts IP, by implication or otherwise, or (II) any Denowatts Technology and Data, except as expressly granted in each of Sections 7 and 8 above or elsewhere in the Contract. Customer shall not create, incur, assume or allow to exist any claim, lien, attachment, restriction, encumbrance or other right of others (whether arising by agreement, operation of law or otherwise) (each, a “Lien”) on, or with respect to, any Denowatts IP or Denowatts Technology and Data. In the event that any Denowatts IP or Denowatts Technology and Data becomes subject to any such Lien (and without limiting any of Denowatts’ rights or remedies), Customer shall promptly notify Denowatts thereof and shall use its best efforts to diligently and promptly remove such Lien.
    • Customer shall promptly disclose to Denowatts all software, other works of authorship, formulas, processes, databases, enhancements, modifications, improvements, derivative works, developments, designs and other inventions or ideas, whether or not patentable, that Customer makes, conceives, reduces to practice, or creates, either alone or jointly with others, relating in any way to any of the Equipment, Denowatts Technology and Data (other than the Raw Equipment Data), or Denowatts IP (collectively, “Developments”). Customer hereby assigns to Denowatts, as and when made, conceived, reduced to practice, or created, all of Customer’s ownership, right, title, and interest in and to all Developments, including: (i) all copyright, trade secret, patent, trademark, intellectual property and other rights in and to the Developments; (ii) all goodwill associated with Developments; and (iii) all benefits, privileges, causes of action, and remedies relating to any of the foregoing, whether before or hereafter accrued (including the right to sue for all past infringements or violations).

    • Denowatts shall retain a security interest in all Equipment (including replacements thereof) and all proceeds therefrom, until the Payment Amounts and other amounts required to be paid under the Contract are paid in full. At Denowatts’ request, Customer shall execute financing statements or other documents deemed necessary or desirable by Denowatts to perfect such security interest. In addition, Customer hereby authorizes Denowatts to file a photocopy or other electronic or photo reproduction of these Terms as a financing statement. Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that financing statements may be filed on the basis of these Terms without Customer’s signature where allowed by law. In the event Customer fails to pay Denowatts any of the Payment Amounts or other amounts required to be paid under the Contract, when due, Denowatts (i) may repossess any such Equipment and (ii) shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.
  8. Risk of Loss. Risk of loss to the Equipment (including replacement Equipment) passes from Denowatts to Customer or Provider purchasing the Equipment, as the case may be, upon delivery by Denowatts to the carrier (and with respect to any returned Equipment, remains with Customer or such Provider (as the case may be) until delivery to Denowatts). Customer or such Provider (as the case may be) shall bear, and hereby assumes, all risks of loss, disappearance, theft, damage or destruction, from any cause whatsoever, of or to the Equipment (“Loss”) from and after such delivery by Denowatts to the carrier, and no such Loss shall relieve any obligations of Customer or such Provider (as the case may be) under the Contract, including the payment of the Payment Amounts or other amounts required to be paid under the Contract. Customer or such Provider (as the case may be) shall immediately notify Denowatts in writing of any Loss occurring while Equipment is in the possession or control of Customer or such Provider (as the case may be). Customer or such Provider (as the case may be) shall immediately notify Denowatts of each accident, injury, sickness, or death to persons, or damage to property that involves, is alleged to involve or appears to involve in any way the Equipment while in the possession or control of Customer or such Provider (as the case may be), any defect or unsafe condition in the Equipment manifesting while in the possession or control of Customer or such Provider (as the case may be), or any improper installation, use, functioning or maintenance of the Equipment (each, an “Occurrence”). Customer or such Provider (as the case may be) agrees to secure and maintain in a safe manner all Equipment and surrounding premises in the condition existing at the time of any Occurrence until such time as Denowatts, or any of its authorized agents, investigators, attorneys, or other designated persons, inspects or investigates said Equipment or premises (and Customer or such Provider (as the case may be) shall immediately provide all permissions necessary for such inspection or investigation). Denowatts shall have the exclusive right to reclaim any Equipment involved in any Occurrence and to thereafter replace same with comparable equipment. Customer or such Provider (as the case may be) shall also provide to Denowatts, upon request, all information requested by Denowatts concerning any Occurrence, and shall promptly provide to Denowatts copies of all correspondence, papers, notices and documents whatsoever received by Customer or such Provider (as the case may be) in connection with such Occurrence or any claim or demand relating thereto.
  9. Limited Warranty; Related Matters.
    • Denowatts warrants to Customer only that: (i) when given normal, proper and intended installation, operation and usage, (A) each Deno will be free from material or significant defects in materials and workmanship (including any such defect caused by lightning strikes to Customer’s applicable PV System located at the Equipment Location) during the Subscription Period, but in no event for a period longer than ten years after the commencement date of the Initial Period (the “Deno Limited Warranty”), and (B) each Gateway will, during the one-year period from the date of such installation (with no extensions to such one-year period for any repaired or replacement Gateway), be free from material or significant defects in materials and workmanship (the “Gateway Limited Warranty”); and (ii) during the Subscription Period, Denowatts shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services in a professional and businesslike manner and in all material respects as described in the Documentation (the “Services Limited Warranty”). The Deno(s), Gateway(s) and Services that are subject to the applicable foregoing limited warranty (the “Limited Warranty”) are referred to herein as the “Warranted Items”.
    • Each of the Deno Limited Warranty, Gateway Limited Warranty and Services Limited Warranty is conditioned on Denowatts receiving, during the applicable warranty period therefor (the “Applicable Warranty Period”), prompt written notice from customer of such Limited Warranty claim, and Denowatts ability to inspect the applicable Warranted Items and re-create the defect or non-conformity prior to any change, movement or disturbance thereto or to any surrounding property or materials. Any notice of such claim received by Denowatts after the Applicable Warranty Period will not be honored and shall be void and ineffective. With respect to any defective or non-conforming Services that are covered by the Services Limited Warranty, Denowatts may, in its sole discretion and at its sole option (but without any obligation whatsoever), extend the Subscription Period by a period of time (as determined by Denowatts, in its sole discretion) not to exceed the time during which such Services remained so defective or non-conforming. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Denowatts’ sole and exclusive liability, for a breach of the Limited Warranty shall be, at Denowatts’ option and cost, and within a reasonable period of time after receipt of timely and effective written notice from Customer of the Limited Warranty claim, the repair, replacement or re-performance of the applicable defective or non-conforming Warranted Items covered by the Limited Warranty, or extension of the Subscription Period as and only to the extent provided in the preceding sentence. Customer shall provide Denowatts with all information, access and cooperation requested by Denowatts in connection with determining Limited Warranty eligibility or with repairing, replacing or re-performing Warranted Items covered by the Limited Warranty. Repaired, replaced or re-performed Warranted Items shall be subject to the same Limited Warranty to the same extent as it was applicable to the original Warranted Items so repaired, replaced or re-performed; provided, however, that any repaired, replaced or re-performed Warranty Item shall not be afforded a new warranty period, and shall, instead, be covered only for the duration remaining, if any, on the Applicable Warranty Period for the original Warranted Item so repaired, replaced or re-performed. Denowatts may, at its option and expense, require Warranted Items to be shipped to Denowatts or elsewhere (and subsequently returned to Customer) for Limited Warranty service to be performed.
