- Title; Risk of Loss. Title to ordered Product(s) (other than any software and/or firmware embodied therein) passes to Customer when these Product(s) are provided by Giatec to the common carrier selected to ship the Product(s) to Customer. However, Giatec bears all responsibility for loss of or damage to purchased Product(s) during initial shipment after purchase and until such Product(s) are received by Customer, unless Customer selects its own mode of shipping. For Product(s) being returned for repair, risk of loss is borne by Customer for return shipment of the Product to Giatec and by Giatec following repair and upon shipment to Customer.
- Limited Warranty. Giatec warrants purchased Product(s) against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use (the “Warranty”) for a period of twelve (12) months from the Delivery Date (the “Warranty Period”) subject to the condition that Customer has completely paid for the applicable Product(s). Giatec does not warrant that the operation of the Product(s) will be uninterrupted or error-free. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the Warranty Period does not restart if Customer receives a replacement Product pursuant to the Warranty. The Warranty does not apply to: (a) consumable parts, such as batteries, Plexiglas cell units and cables unless the relevant damage has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship; (b) cosmetic damage, including scratches, dents and broken plastic on ports; (c) damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, neglect or failure to properly maintain (including water damage and/or condensation or improper temperatures during storage), or improper installation or use or any attempted repair or modification by anyone other than Giatec; (d) damage caused by electrical disturbances or acts of God (including, civil disturbance, war, terrorism, flood, fire, rodents or insects); (e) situations where manufacturer’s serial numbers and/or security labels have been removed from applicable Product(s); and (f) damage caused during shipment (due to Customer’s improper packaging) from Customer to Giatec in the case of Product returns for repair.
Except for the Warranty, Giatec disclaims all other representations, warranties and conditions, express or implied, including any implied warranties and/or conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, non-infringement, fitness for a particular purpose, or against hidden or latent defects. Giatec’s responsibility for claims in respect to the operation of purchased Product(s) is limited to the repair or replacement of Product(s) under the Warranty that are within their applicable Warranty Period.
- Technical Support. Giatec will provide technical support to Customer in accordance with Giatec’s then-current support policy and in accordance with the Warranty set forth in these Sale Terms, unless full payment for the applicable Product(s) has been received. Giatec will respond to Customer support problems by phone or by email. If a support problem cannot be rectified via phone or email, Customer will be provided with return instructions for the affected Product.
- Data Ownership. Except for Calibration Data submitted by Customer to the Giatec SaaS Service, Giatec shall own all right, title and interest (including all intellectual property rights) in and to the Service Data. If any rights in any Service Data initially vest in Customer, Customer hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to Giatec all of Customer’s right, title and interest (including all intellectual property rights) in and to such Service Data. Giatec will be entitled to make Service Data available to third parties in Giatec’s discretion if such Service Data does not identify Customer and cannot be traced back to Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer acknowledges and agrees that when Customer uses the Giatec SmartRock Plus App, Service Data that can be traced back to Customer will be provided to the ready-mix concrete supplier who sold Customer the corresponding SmartRock Plus Product. Customer hereby grants to Giatec a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid up, perpetual, irrevocable license to access and use the Calibration Data that Customer uploads to the Giatec SaaS Service for the purpose of allowing Giatec to provide the Giatec SaaS Service and to create anonymized, aggregate statistics using such Calibration Data (such anonymized, aggregate statistics hereinafter referred to as the “Service Data Analytics”). For greater certainty, Giatec shall own all right, title and interest (including all intellectual property rights) in and to the Service Data Analytics and shall be entitled to use the Service Data Analytics without any requirement for Customer’s permission provided that the Service Data Analytics do not identify Customer and cannot be traced back to Customer. If any rights in any Service Data Analytics initially vest in Customer, Customer hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to Giatec all of Customer’s right, title and interest (including all intellectual property rights) in and to such Service Data Analytics.
- Suggestions. If You provide Giatec with any suggestions, comments or other feedback relating to any aspect of the Products, the Giatec SaaS Service, the Giatec App(s) or any other Giatec products or services (“Feedback”), You hereby grant Giatec a royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sublicenseable, irrevocable, perpetual, unrestricted license to fully exploit such Feedback, including, within the Products, the Giatec SaaS Service, the Giatec App(s) or any other Giatec products or services.
- Repair. If a Product is damaged or defective upon initial delivery to Customer (the date of delivery is hereinafter referred to as the “Delivery Date”), Customer must notify Giatec technical support within thirty (30) days of the Delivery Date to receive a replacement for such Product. Upon receipt of timely notification about any Product that was damaged or defective upon initial delivery to Customer, Giatec will provide return instructions, if required. Product(s) that were damaged or defective upon initial delivery to Customer, must then be returned to Giatec as soon as reasonably practicable for repair or replacement in Giatec’s discretion. Giatec may arrange for the delivery of temporary or permanent replacement Product(s) for Product(s) that were damaged or defective upon initial delivery. If a Product is damaged or defective upon initial delivery to Customer, Giatec may in its discretion provide a refund for the affected Product(s) instead of repairing or replacing the affected Product.
If during the Warranty Period, but, following the initial thirty (30) day period, a Product fails to comply with the Warranty, Customer must contact Giatec technical support to confirm the Warranty non-compliance and to obtain return instructions if needed. Customer shall be responsible for properly packing return shipments of all Product(s) to Giatec (for whatever reason) and for shipping and insurance costs for such return shipments. If a Product is returned for repair or replacement at any time following purchase by Customer and Giatec discovers that the Warranty is inapplicable due to a Warranty exclusion, the Product will not be repaired and will be returned to Customer at Customer’s expense, unless Customer authorizes and pays for the applicable repair. Whether Customer authorizes a repair or not, Giatec reserves the right to charge a “No Fault Found” fee if a Product is found not to be defective.
Any Giatec reseller or distributor involved in the purchase of a Product is not authorized to make any modification, extension, or addition to the Warranty provided by Giatec pursuant to these Sale Terms, although any such reseller or distributor may provide its own warranty in addition to the Warranty provided by Giatec. - Limitation of Liability. NEITHER GIATEC NOR ITS LICENSORS, RESELLERS, DEALERS OR SUPPLIERS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF REVENUE OR PROFIT, LOST OR DAMAGED DATA OR OTHER COMMERCIAL OR ECONOMIC LOSS, EVEN IF GIATEC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR THEY ARE FORESEEABLE. GIATEC IS ALSO NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CLAIMS BY A THIRD PARTY.

GIATEC’S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER, AND THAT OF GIATEC’S LICENSORS, DEALERS, RESELLERS AND SUPPLIERS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PRICE PAID FOR THE PRODUCT(S) GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT THE ALLEGED BREACH OR DEFAULT IS A BREACH OF A FUNDAMENTAL CONDITION OR TERM OR A FUNDAMENTAL BREACH.
- Indemnification. You shall, at Your own expense, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Giatec including its affiliated companies and its and their officers, employees and subcontractors (collectively, the “Giatec Indemnitees”) against all liabilities, losses, costs, damages, penalties and expenses (including all legal fees and expenses and court costs) which the Giatec Indemnitees may incur or suffer as a result of (i) any bodily injury, death or damage to real or personal property arising in connection with Your or an End User’s products and/or the Calibration Data provided by You or an End User or on Your or an End User’s behalf to the Giatec SaaS Service, including Your or an End User’s failure to provide accurate, up-to-date Calibration Data on an on-going basis, or to adhere to the ASTM C1074 Standard; (ii) Your or an End User’s negligence or willful misconduct; (iii) any errors, omissions, inaccuracies or other claims arising in connection with the Calibration Data provided by You or an End User or on Your or an End User’s behalf to the Giatec SaaS Service; (iv) any claims that the trademarks, logos, or branding provided by You or an End User to Giatec infringe third party rights; (v) any defects, malfunctions or product liability claims arising in connection with Your or an End User’s products; (vi) any breach of contract in any agreement between You and any End User; (vii) any representation or warranties made by You that extend, expand or modify the representations and warranties made by Giatec in these Sale Terms in respect to the Products; and/or (viii) any breach by Customer of these Sale Terms.

- Services.
1.1. SIM Card services are provided by Truphone Limited or any other SIM card provider (“SIM Provider”). SIM Provider will provide data connectivity services only. SMS communication and mobile voice service is not provided as part of the data subscription plan for the SIM Card. Giatec and SIM Provider shall take all reasonable steps to make the Services available to you at all times, contingent upon their ability to maintain necessary licenses or permissions, or their network capacity and connection availability. Please note that the network operator in the country of use will ultimately be responsible for network coverage, quality and availability.
1.2. You acknowledge that mobile telephony is a form of wireless communication and operates on the basis of transmission of radio and signal frequencies. As such it can be interfered with by numerous external sources or by obstacles inherent in buildings, vegetation or terrain and as such we cannot guarantee a perfect or error free transmission, both in terms of quality or availability of the Service.
1.3. Neither Giatec, nor SIM Provider, warrant or guarantee a fault free Service and give no warranties or guarantees as to network coverage, quality or availability. In the event of a fault, upon becoming aware of the fault or upon receipt of notice of the existence of such a fault by you, Giatec and SIM Provider shall use reasonable efforts to promptly correct the fault.
1.4. As with any GSM mobile service, a core feature of the Services is the inclusion of roaming on foreign networks in order to provide the Services outside of Giatec’s chosen home country and any agreed SIM Provider designated countries (Roaming). Roaming means that you will be using foreign networks, over which we (Giatec and SIM Provider) have no control and therefore cannot provide any guarantees about the Services, particularly its availability or quality. In addition your use of the Services whilst Roaming may be subject to different laws and regulations that apply. Neither Giatec, nor SIM Provider, will accept any liability for your failure to comply with those laws or regulations.
1.5. Where SIM Provider does not have an arrangement with a specific country for the purchasing of local rates and thereby the offering of local rates, then you may still use the SIM Card but this will be on a Roaming basis. You may incur additional charges for this Roaming ability including data access whilst Roaming.
1.5. From time to time SIM Provider may be required to upgrade, modify or maintain the Services. On such occasions the Services may be temporarily unavailable, however, SIM Provider will endeavour to keep such disruption to a minimum and we (Giatec) will notify you at least 3 days in advance.
1.6. We reserve the right to suspend, in a proportionate and corresponding manner, the Services, without giving you notice where:
a) we have reason to believe you are making fraudulent use, excessive usage or breach of any of our policies or otherwise are in material breach of the Agreement;
b) there are any outstanding and undisputed bills or Service charges which have not been paid when they are due for payment and we have provided sufficient and reasonable prior written notice for remedying the non payment of the outstanding bills, in no event less than 15 days;
c) we are notified that the SIM card licensed to you is lost or stolen, in which event, we shall be obligated to suspend the Services associated with that SIM.
d) we are obliged to comply with an order, instruction or request of any government, regulatory, or emergency services organisation, our contractual obligations with our Suppliers or other competent administrative authority, in which event, we will make our best effort, if we are not prohibited from doing so, to ensure that you are warned sufficiently beforehand to allow you to challenge such order, instruction or request, should you elect to do so, and we hereby agree to cooperate and assist you in your such initiative;
e) in order to urgently prevent damage or degradation of our or our contracting party’s network integrity which may be caused by you or anyone using your access;
f) there is an emergency or for security reasons;
g) we may at our discretion bar or disconnect your SIM if we have noticed any form of fraudulent use including relating to a SIM Card or Device (the “Device” is defined as Giatec’s SmartHub device) whilst using the Service, in which event, we will notify you promptly.
1.7. We may monitor the Services and disclose information gained from such monitoring in order to satisfy any law, regulation or other governmental request, to operate and administer the Services, or to protect us or our other customers, except that such monitor or disclosure shall not be in breach of any applicable law, rules or regulations, in relation to data protection, or otherwise.
- Your Obligations.
2.1. You shall be responsible for all use of the Service. You agree to be obligated to use the Services lawfully and in compliance with the Terms of the Agreement and that you are responsible for all use of the Service including all applicable charges incurred to your account for uses that are not part of the Service (including such use, and charges incurred by any third party using your account with or without your permission) should you not have made such effort as to ensure they are so obligated. Your use of the Service is subject to SIM Provider’s Acceptable Use Policy, Privacy Policy and Fair Usage Policy and all other applicable SIM Provider policies which you must adhere to. A copy of each of those policies is available on the website www.SIM Provider.com and shall also be available on request. If SIM Provider makes any changes to these policies we (Giatec) shall notify you in writing. Any use in contravention of these policies will entitle us to terminate the corresponding Services to you and to cancel your account, as appropriate. We will, where reasonably practicable and legally possible to do so, notify you of any breaches of our policies by you and allow you to remedy such breach within a reasonable period of time prior to any suspension or termination of the Services by us, in no event less than 30 days.
2.2. Unless authorized by Giatec, you shall not remove the SIM card or use it for any application other than the Device.
2.3. You shall not misuse the Service or Device including but not limited to (a) re-selling or re-billing the Service; (b) using the Service or Device to engage in unlawful activity, or conduct that adversely affects
our Customers, employees, business, Suppliers, or any other person(s) or that interferes with our operations, network, reputation, or ability to provide a quality service or otherwise.
- SIM card or eSIM Profile.
3.1. The SIM card or eSIM Profile, as the case may be, and all technology, intellectual property and documentation relating to it and the Service shall remain the property of SIM Provider and/or Giatec. SIM Provider and Giatec grant you a revocable, conditional, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-sub-licensable license to use the SIM card or eSIM Profile and the Services for the duration of this Agreement or the data subscription plan, whichever is shorter.
3.2. You must inform Giatec as soon as practicable if any SIM card provided to you under this Agreement is lost or stolen. If any SIM card is lost or stolen please call our Customer Success team immediately or e-mail us at support@giatecscientific.com. You will remain fully liable for all call costs and charges until you have notified Giatec of the lost or stolen SIM card.
- Limitation of Liability.
4.1. Giatec shall not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations or provision of the Services where such delay or performance failure is due to (i) any of your acts or omissions; (ii) where you have provided incorrect data or information; (iii) network failure, network outage, network congestion, power failures; or (iv) that is caused by events outside our reasonable control including but not limited to strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes (whether involving our workforce or any other party) Acts of God, war, terrorist activity, malicious damage, compliance with any law or governmental order.

TRADEMARK GUIDELINES
“SmartRock® Plus” is a trademark of Giatec Scientific Inc.
TRADEMARK GUIDELINES
I. Conform to Trademark Usage Requirements. When using the trademarks in logotype, always use the trademarks in the form of the specification sheets provided by Giatec Scientific Inc.
II. Use Proper Trademark Notices. In advertising, brochures and other collateral materials, the first time or the most prominent time the trademark appears, it should have a ™ behind it (or the designation ® if the mark is registered in the applicable jurisdiction), and an asterisk that refers to the bottom of the page or brochure, where the following should appear in clear and easily readable type:
* “SmartRock® Plus” and related logos are trademarks of Giatec.”
Use of the ® symbol when the mark is registered in the applicable country is important because it may determine the remedies the mark owner can recover when the mark is infringed. However, the ® symbol should not be used unless the mark is in fact registered in the applicable country. Use of the ® for an unregistered mark is generally forbidden by law and could bar Giatec from obtaining registration of the mark. It could also impair Giatec’s ability to sue infringers of the mark. Accordingly, you must be certain that the mark is registered in the applicable country before using the ® symbol. Giatec will notify You if any Trademark is registered in any country in the Territory.
III. Use as an Adjective. When using the trademarks in text, do not use the trademarks as a noun; always use them as an adjective followed by the generic name of the product. So the correct usage in text would be: SmartRock® Plus Sensors. If the trademark is used in text, it should stand out in the text. The generic designation behind it should be in lower case.
IV. Other Rules.
• Be consistent in the use of the mark and conform to the specifications.
• Always spell the mark correctly if it is a word and reproduce it faithfully and accurately if it is a design or symbol. Avoid any variations. Do not add features or graphic elements.
• Watch for all incidents of improper usage of any Giatec trademarks and report them to Giatec.
