Overview. ‍These Terms govern your use of the Platform and Product.  Your purchase of the Product is governed by the limited warranty provided with the Product which can be found here (“Limited Warranty”) and may be further governed by other terms of sale, as provided with your Product when you purchased it.  Certain features of the Platform may be subject to additional rules, which will be posted in connection with such features.  Span’s privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) found here is incorporated herein by reference, and you accept and agree to the Privacy Policy by using the Platform and Product.1.2. General Use. ‍By using the Platform and Product, you represent, acknowledge and agree that you are at least 18 years of age, or if you are under 18 years of age but are at least 13 years old (a “Minor”), that you are using the Platform and Product with the consent of your parent or legal guardian and that you have received your parent’s or legal guardian’s permission to use the Platform and Product and agree to its Terms.  If you are a parent or legal guardian of a Minor, you hereby agree to bind the Minor to these Terms and to fully indemnify and hold harmless Span if the Minor breaches any of these Terms.  If you are not at least 13 years old, you may not use the Platform or Product at any time or in any manner or submit any information to Span or the Platform.1.3. Term and Termination. ‍These Terms will remain in full force and effect as long as you continue to access or use the Platform or Product, or until terminated in accordance with the provisions of these Terms. At any time, Span may (i) suspend or terminate your rights to access or use the Platform, or (ii) terminate these Terms with respect to you if Span, in good faith, believes that you have used the Platform or Product in violation of these Terms, including any incorporated guidelines, terms or rules. If you transfer a Product to a new owner, your right to use the Platform with respect to that Product automatically terminates and the new owner will have no right to use the Product or Platform under your Account (as described below) and will need to register for a separate Account with Span and accept these Terms.  Upon termination of these Terms, your Account and right to use the Platform will automatically terminate.2. ACCOUNTS.2.1. General.  You can simply view certain portions of the Website, and not access or use any Services, by simply visiting and viewing the Website.  You do not need an account to do so.  However, to access the Services, certain portions of the Website, and the Apps, you must have an account with Span.  Span provides several types of accounts, as set forth below.2.2. Types of Accounts.a. Owner. If you are the owner of the residence in which the Product is installed, you are considered an “Owner.”  When the Product is installed at your residence, the Installer will collect your email address from you, so that Span may send you an account invitation.  After the Product has been installed and the installer has shared your email address with Span, Span will send an invitation to create an account.  Your username will be the email to which the invitation was delivered, and you will create your own password as part of the registration process.  As part of the registration process, we will also ask you to provide or confirm your name, the address of your residence, and your phone number.  If you have purchased a residence where the Product has already been installed, please contact us at support@span.io so that we may help you set up your account.  An Owner may designate authorized users (each an “Authorized User”) who may then make an account to access the Owner’s Product and use the Platform. Authorized Users shall have the ability to use the Platform and monitor and control the Product. Authorized Users may also have the ability to view information (including personal information) and content related to an Owner’s Product and the Platform, such as outage notifications and power usage history. Authorized Users are responsible for their own actions in connection with the Platform and Product, but the Owner also hereby agrees to be fully responsible for all actions taken by Authorized Users relating to the Owner’s Product, Platform and Account. Thus, if you are an Owner, you should only authorize those individuals whom you trust. b. Authorized User.  You are an “Authorized User” if an Owner has sent you an invitation to make an account to access and use the Platform and Product of the Owner.  Authorized Users shall have the ability to use the Platform and monitor and control the Product. Authorized Users can view information and content related to an Owner’s Product and the Platform, such as outage notifications and power usage history. Authorized Users are responsible for their own actions in connection with the Platform and Product.  An Owner can revoke your access as an Authorized User at any time. c. Installer.  You are an “Installer” if you have completed the required training from Span and have qualified as a certified installer by Span to install the Product at certain residences for an Owner who has purchased the Product.  When you become a certified installer, Span will send you an email invitation inviting you to create an account and to download the version of the App for Installers. To create an account, you must provide Span with your name and phone number, and you must create a password.  Once you have created an account with Span, you will be able to access those certain portions of the Platform designated for access by Installers, including access to documentation to assist you in configuring the Product, a note-taking function so that you may upload information related to the installation, a photo collection function so that you may collect photos of the Product once installed, and certain features and functions to assist you in testing the Product.  As an installer, you have special access to certain features and functions specific to Installers only, and you agree not to share your account credentials with anyone else. 2.3. Account Rules.All the information that you provide when registering for an account and otherwise through the Platform must be accurate, complete and up to date.  You may change, correct or remove any information from your account by either logging into your account directly and making the desired changes or contacting Span using the contact information at the end of these Terms requesting that we make the change.  You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, and you are responsible for all activities that occur using your password. You agree not to share your password, let others access or use your password or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your password.  You agree to notify Span if your password to the Platform is lost, stolen, if you are aware of any unauthorized use of your password on the Platform, or if you know of any other breach of security in relation to the Platform.2.4. Electronic Communications.By using the Platform, you consent to receiving electronic communications from Span. These electronic communications may include emails, push notifications, and other electronic notices about the Services, and other information concerning or related to the Platform and Product.  These electronic communications are part of your relationship with Span.  You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that we send you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION WAIVER.Please read the following (this “Provision”) carefully.  It affects your rights. Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to a customer’s satisfaction by contacting us at support@span.io.  This Provision facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any disputes that may arise between you and Span.  Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which persons with a dispute waive their rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court and to a jury trial, and instead submit their disputes to a neutral third person (or arbitrator) for a binding decision.  You have the right to opt-out of this Provision (as explained below), which means you would retain your right to litigate your disputes in a court, either before a judge or jury. Please read this Provision carefully.  It provides that all Disputes (defined below) between you and Span shall be resolved by binding arbitration.  Arbitration replaces the right to go to court.  In the absence of this arbitration agreement, you may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions).  Except as otherwise provided, entering into this agreement constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury.  There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.  The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorneys’ fees).10.1. Definitions.For the purpose of this Provision, “Span” means Span and its parents, subsidiary, and affiliate companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents.  The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Span regarding any aspect of your relationship with Span, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below).  “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced and shall include any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to you (such as Span’s licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding.10.2. Agreement.WE EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION. 10.3. Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution. For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give Span an opportunity to resolve the Dispute.  You must commence this process by mailing written notification to Span at: Attn: Legal, 679 Bryant Street, San Francisco, CA 94107.  That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your Claim, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek.  If Span does not resolve the Dispute within 45 days after it receives your written notification, you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration.  You may pursue your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.10.4. Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out.Notwithstanding the above, you or Span may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if (a) the Dispute qualifies, it may be initiated in small claims court. or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT (the “Opt-Out Deadline”).  You may opt out of this Provision by mailing written notification to Span, Attn: Legal, 679 Bryant St, San Francisco, CA 94107.  Your written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with Span through arbitration.  Your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with Span.  Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your Dispute in arbitration or small claims court.10.5. Arbitration Procedures.If this Provision applies and the Dispute is not resolved as provided above under Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution, either you or Span may initiate arbitration proceedings.  The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all Disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator.  The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration.  All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Provision. For arbitration before AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply. for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply.  In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply.  The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.  For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules &amp. Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols for Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply.  The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267.  This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules.  Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration. Because the Platform and these Terms concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all Disputes.  However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.10.6. Arbitration Award.The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding.  The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party.  Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.10.7. Location of Arbitration.You or Span may initiate arbitration in either San Francisco County, California or the federal judicial district that includes your billing address.  In the event that you select the federal judicial district that includes your billing address, Span may transfer the arbitration to San Francisco, California in the event that it agrees to pay any additional fees or costs you incur as a result of the transfer, as determined by the arbitrator.10.8. Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs.Span will pay all arbitration filing fees and arbitrator’s costs and expenses upon your written request given prior to the commencement of the arbitration.  You are responsible for all additional fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, fees for attorneys and/or expert witnesses.  Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law.  In addition to any rights to recover fees and costs under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in good faith with Span as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.10.9. Class Action Waiver.Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both you and Span specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration.  If you choose to pursue your Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you.  Neither you, nor any other user of the Platform can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.10.10. Jury Waiver.You understand and agree that by entering into this Agreement you and Span are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court.  In the absence of this Provision, you and Span might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions).  Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived.  Other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited or may also be waived.10.11. Severability.If any clause within this Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Provision, and the remainder of this Provision will be given full force and effect.  If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable, and the Dispute will be decided by a court.10.12. Continuation.This Provision shall survive the termination of your service with Span or its affiliates.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Span makes any change to this Provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change and require Span to adhere to the language in this Provision if a dispute between us arises.11.
