Telematics Terms and Conditions

This document sets out terms and conditions for your purchase or use of EquipmentShare’s proprietary telematic services which include subscriptions to a user interface (the “Platform”), the required hardware (the “Device”) and related services including, but not limited to, professional device installation (collectively, the “Telematics Services”).  The terms are legally binding on you, so it’s important that you read and understand them. By signing a Telematics Sales Order (“Sales Order”), or otherwise engaging with EquipmentShare’s Telematics Services, you agree to the terms and conditions herein. Along with any signed Sales Order, these EquipmentShare Telematics Terms and Conditions, together with the EquipmentShare Terms of Use and Privacy Policy constitute the “Agreement” between you and EquipmentShare. You agree and understand that EquipmentShare may change the EquipmentShare Telematics Terms and Conditions of the Agreement from time to time, and those changes will be binding on you.  We will provide you with notice of any changes by updating the Last Updated date above, and your use of EquipmentShare’s Telematics Services after that date will constitute acceptance of the changes.

SECTION 1: PURCHASE OF DEVICES
A Device is required to connect your equipment, vehicle, construction equipment, machine or other mechanical apparatus (“Equipment”) to the Telematic Services.  Devices must be purchased from EquipmentShare.
The sale of all Devices under a Sales Order is final, and except as otherwise stated below, Devices may not be returned to EquipmentShare for refund or credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may return Devices to EquipmentShare within thirty (30) days of signing a Sales Order for such Devices provided that the Devices have not been installed, are in a new, re-saleable condition, including being unopened and in the original packaging, and include all related accessories and peripherals. All returns within the thirty (30) day return period will be assessed a per-unit re-stocking fee as stated in the Sales Order.
All software on Devices is licensed, not sold. EquipmentShare is the owner or licensed provider of the software itself, including all intellectual property rights therein. EquipmentShare reserves all rights not expressly granted to you herein.

SECTION 2: PURCHASE OF TELEMATICS SERVICES.  
EquipmentShare telematics subscriptions require a Device to connect your Equipment. A separate subscription is required for each installed Device. At the start of the Initial Term for a subscription, you must select a plan type for each subscription.  Under a monthly plan, you will pay a monthly service fee (“Service Fee”) for the subscription. Under a bundled plan, you will pay a monthly amount for the duration of the Initial Term that covers the products and services described in the Sales Order. The amount of the Service Fee, Device charge, and any applicable fees for installation services will be clearly stated on the Sales Order.



SECTION 3: SUBSCRIPTION PLANS & APPS  

Each installed Device requires access to the Platform through a subscription.  
EquipmentShare’s Platform is composed of multiple individual software applications (individually known as an “App”).  Some Apps may require a separate monthly subscription fee, that may be charged on a per-user basis.  Subscription fees, if any, are stated in each Sales Order.
EquipmentShare’s Platform is regularly updated to improve functionality and introduce new features. Accordingly, EquipmentShare reserves the right to change, alter or modify the Platform at any time. EquipmentShare also reserves the right to add new premium features to the Platform at any time and to charge you an additional fee for such premium features if you choose to add them to your plan.  
Telematics Services may contain links to and/or integrate with third party websites, resources, products and/or services. THESE LINKS AND INTEGRATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND AND ONLY AS A CONVENIENCE.  EquipmentShare is not responsible for the content, functionality, or availability of such third party products and/or services, and you are solely responsible for and assume all risk arising from the use of any third party websites, resources, products and/or services and any links or integrations made available thereto.
Subscriptions are generally offered as follows (collectively referred to hereafter as “Subscription(s)”):
Monthly.  A subscriber is billed monthly for access to the Platform, which automatically continues until you cancel.
Bundled Plan.  A subscriber is billed monthly for access to the Platform and Device(s).  The term for Bundled Plans auto-renews unless you cancel, which must be at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term.  The specific term is listed in your Sales Order.
Full Bundled Plan.  A subscriber is billed monthly for access to the Platform, Device(s) and installation services.  The term for Full Bundled Plans automatically renews unless you cancel, which must be at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term. The specific term is listed in your Sales Order.

SECTION 4: SUBSCRIPTION CANCELLATION AND EARLY TERMINATION FEE AMOUNT

There are no early termination fees related to the cancellation of a Monthly Plan.
If you are enrolled in a monthly plan and cancel prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, no early termination fee (“Early Termination Fee”) will apply. The amount of the Early Termination Fee for subscribers enrolled in a Bundled Plan or Full Bundled Plan is based on the number of months remaining on the Initial Term of the Subscription. If applicable, the amount of the Early Termination Fee for a particular Subscription will be defined in a Sales Order.
EquipmentShare reserves the right to immediately suspend or discontinue Telematics Services at any time or to cancel this Agreement for any reason at any time without penalty to EquipmentShare. If EquipmentShare elects to discontinue Telematics Services or terminate this Agreement for its convenience prior to the expiration of the Initial Term of any Subscription purchased pursuant to this Agreement, you may keep Device(s) by paying EquipmentShare the fair market value of the Device as determined by EquipmentShare, or, in EquipmentShare’s sole discretion, you agree that EquipmentShare may uninstall Device(s) from your Equipment within 30 days of the discontinuation of Telematics Services or Agreement termination.  You will not be liable for early termination fees if EquipmentShare suspends or discontinues the Telematics Services for reasons other than your early termination of your Subscription or breach of this Agreement or others you may have with EquipmentShare.  

SECTION 5: BILLING

EquipmentShare will bill you for the Subscriptions, Devices, Apps, installation services and all other applicable charges or fees (as stated in the Sales Order).  
All invoices are due upon receipt.As permitted by law, all unpaid invoices over thirty (30) days are subject to a 5% late fee, or the highest amount permitted by law. Late fees will continue to accrue on a monthly basis until the balance is paid in full. If an invoice is not paid in full within 60 days EquipmentShare may suspend your Subscriptions until the past due balance and all late fees are paid. If an invoice is not paid in full within 90 days EquipmentShare may terminate the Subscriptions(s) that are the subject of the outstanding invoice(s). If a Subscription is terminated due to non-payment, Early Termination Fees will apply, and all outstanding fees are immediately due and payable.You are responsible for any and all legal fees, reasonable attorney fees, and fees associated with the collection of the outstanding debt owed by you to EquipmentShare pursuant to this Agreement.Failure to receive an invoice does not release you from your obligation to pay for your Subscription(s).
‍Charges for Telematics Services, including charges for service fees, Devices, installation services, and other applicable fees may be included on your mobile carrier bill.  Please refer to your agreement with your mobile carrier for specific payment terms, including late payment and collection terms.

SECTION 6: INSTALLATION SERVICES

If you elect to have EquipmentShare provide installation services, EquipmentShare, or its third party installation provider, will install the Device(s) on your Equipment.  
You agree to provide all necessary access to Subscriber’s Equipment to allow for the installation of the Devices.  In the event that scheduled Devices are not available at the scheduled installation date, access to the installation location is not available, or installation is cancelled, additional charges will be incurred by Subscriber as stated in the Sales Order.
Improper installation of the Devices or maintenance of Equipment into which Devices are installed can lead to damage of such Equipment or dangerous or life-threatening conditions, which can cause property damage, bodily injury, and/or death.

EquipmentShare shall have no obligation to repair or replace Devices: (i) which are lost or stolen or that become damaged or defective for any other reason than manufacturer defect or installation by EquipmentShare or its third party installers; (ii) for which the Subscription for the associated Device has been terminated pursuant to these Terms or the Sales Order; or (iii) for which the warranty has expired, including but not limited to the negligent, reckless or intentional misuse of the Device and/or the Device(s) being installed by you or a third party selected by you.

Certain features may not function or be available for all types of Equipment. Additionally, while EquipmentShare strives to provides all updates during off-peak hours, EquipmentShare may, from time to time, need to interrupt access to Telematics Services to perform system maintenance, testing or for other purposes and may not always be able to give you advance notice prior to such service interruptions. You agree and understand that EquipmentShare will not be liable for any loss or unavailability of Telematics Services.
SECTION 8:  NO ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER OF TELEMATICS DEVICES
EquipmentShare, at its sole and exclusive discretion, may permit you to transfer Subscriptions purchased pursuant to these Terms if you sell or otherwise disposes of the Equipment on which the Device(s) bundled with the Subscription are installed. In such circumstances the party to whom you wishes to transfer the Subscription will be required to sign a Sales Order and will be bound to these Terms in order for the Subscription to take effect.

If for any reason you wish to physically transfer a Device on Equipment you own, EquipmentShare will have a qualified technician assess whether a transfer is possible and complete  the transfer. EquipmentShare reserves the right to charge a transfer fee. The transfer of Devices between different pieces of Equipment will not affect the status of the Subscriptions for those Devices.
