BP Pulse Fleet North America Inc. (“BP Pulse”) provides the online charging management system known as OMEGATM (the “Software”) via its proprietary web-based platform utilized by BP Pulse to provide the Software (the “Platform”). This agreement (“Agreement”) establishes the terms pursuant to which BP Pulse will make the Software available to the person or entity (the “Customer”) that has executed a valid and binding agreement with BP Pulse or its authorized resellers (“Authorized Reseller”) for a subscription to the Software (a “Customer Order”). In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Customer Order, the Customer Order shall control.

BY ACCESSING OR USING ANY PART OF THE SOFTWARE OR THE PLATFORM, REGISTERING FOR ACCESS TO THE SOFTWARE OR PLATFORM, CUSTOMER IS AGREEING TO ENTER INTO AND BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT RIGHT TO BIND CUSTOMER TO THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO ACCESS OR REGISTER FOR THE SOFTWARE OR PLATFORM.

SECTION 8.4 OF THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS PROVISIONS THAT GOVERN HOW DISPUTES BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND BP PULSE ARE RESOLVED. IN PARTICULAR, THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN SECTION 8.4 WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, REQUIRE DISPUTES BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND BP PULSE TO BE SUBMITTED TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION. 

1.SUBSCRIPTION; GRANT OF RIGHTS.

1.1 Subscriptions. A Customer Order may provide for one or more subscriptions to access and use the Platform (each a “Subscription”). Each Subscription is limited to a single electric vehicle charger (each an “EV Charger”) assigned by Customer. Once a Subscription is assigned to an EV Charger, it is not transferrable to any other EV Charger unless otherwise provided in a Customer Order.

1.2 Access Rights; Customer’s Use of the Platform. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Customer Order, BP Pulse hereby grants to Customer, a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as permitted by Section 8.1), non-sublicensable right to remotely access and use the Platform, with the EV Charger to which it is assigned, during the applicable Subscription Term, solely for Customer’s and its Affiliates’ own business purposes in accordance with the user materials, instructions, and specifications made available by BP Pulse for the (“Documentation”) and this Agreement. BP Pulse and its licensors reserve all rights in and to Platform not expressly granted to Customer under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer is solely responsible for, at its own expense, acquiring, installing, and maintaining all connectivity equipment, internet and network connections, hardware, software, and other equipment as may be necessary to connect to and access the Platform. “Affiliate” means, with respect to a party, any other entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such entity, where “control” means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such entity through the ownership of 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities (but only for as long as such entity meets these requirements).

1.3 Restrictions on Use. Customer shall not (a) reproduce, display, download, modify, create derivative works of or distribute the Platform or Software, or attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or access the source code for the Platform or Software or any component thereof; (b) use the Platform or Software, or any component thereof, in the operation of a service bureau to support or process any content, data, or information of any party other than Customer or Customer Affiliates; (c) permit any party, other than the then-currently authorized Users (defined below) to independently access the Platform or Software; (d) use the Platform or Software in any manner or for any purpose that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any intellectual property right or other right of any third-party, or that violates any applicable law; (e) use the Platform or Software to store or transmit any code, files, scripts, agents, or programs intended to do harm, including, for example, viruses, worms, time bombs and Trojan horses; (f) attempt any of the foregoing; or (g) authorize or permit any User or other third party to do any of the forgoing.

1.4 Access and Users. Customer may permit its, and its Affiliates’, independent contractors and employees to access and use the Platform on Customer’s behalf in accordance with this Agreement (each, a “User”); provided that Customer will be liable for the acts and omissions of all Customer Affiliates and Users to the extent any of such acts or omissions, if performed by Customer, would constitute a breach of, or otherwise give rise to liability to Customer under, this Agreement. Customer shall not, and shall not permit any User to, use the Platform, Software or Documentation except as expressly permitted under this Agreement. Customer is responsible for Users’ compliance with this Agreement. Each User may access the Platform using a unique user identification name and password (“User ID”). Customer shall be responsible for ensuring the security and confidentiality of User IDs for all Users. User IDs may not be shared with any person other than the specific User to whom the User ID is assigned. Customer will use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to, or use of, the Platform, and shall notify BP Pulse promptly of any unauthorized use.

1.5 Support and Maintenance. BP Pulse will provide its standard support and maintenance services for the Platform. Additional support and maintenance services may be included in the applicable Customer Order. BP Pulse may from time to time develop and automatically install patches, bug fixes, updates, upgrades, and other modifications (“Updates”) to improve the performance of Platform and computer software which is operating on equipment provided by BP Pulse in connection with the Platform.

1.6 Prohibited Data. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Customer shall not, and shall take commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that its Users do not, upload to the Platform or otherwise submit or make accessible to BP Pulse any financial account or government issued identifiers (e.g., social security numbers, credit card information, or bank information), protected health information, or other types of sensitive data that is subject to specific or elevated data protection requirements (collectively, “Prohibited Data”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Customer acknowledges that: (a) the Software and Platform are not intended for the management or protection of Prohibited Data and may not provide adequate or legally required security for Prohibited Data; and (b) BP Pulse will have no liability for any failure to provide protections set forth in any laws, rules, regulations, or standards applicable to such Prohibited Data or to otherwise protect the Prohibited Data. If Customer or any Users upload any Prohibited Data to the Platform in violation of this Section 1.6, BP Pulse may, without limiting any of its other rights and remedies, delete such Prohibited Data.

2. SUBSCRIPTION TERM; TERMINATION.

2.1 Term; Termination. The term of this Agreement will commence on the date that Customer first accepts this Agreement and will continue until the last to expire of the Subscriptions, unless terminated earlier. A party may terminate this Agreement upon notice if the other party breaches any material provision of this Agreement and (provided that such breach is capable of cure) does not cure such breach within 30 days after being provided with written notice of such breach.

2.2 Subscription Term. The term of each Subscription will commence on the date on which such Subscription is assigned to an applicable EV Charger, and will continue for the initial period provided in the Customer Order (the “Initial Subscription Term”). Thereafter, the Subscription will automatically renew for additional 1 year periods (each a “Renewal Subscription Term”) unless a party provides notice of its intent not to renew at least 30 days prior to the applicable renewal date. For each Subscription, the Initial Subscription Term and each Renewal Subscription Term are referred to collectively as the “Subscription Term”).

2.3 Effects of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement: (a) all Subscriptions shall immediately cease, (b) Customer’s rights granted in this Agreement will immediately cease, and (c) Customer shall promptly discontinue all access and use of the Platform and return or erase, all copies of the Documentation in Customer’s possession or control. Sections 1.3, 2.3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.

2.4 Suspension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, BP Pulse may suspend Customer’s access to the Platform if BP Pulse determines that: (a) there is an attack on the Platform; (b) Customer’s or any of its Users’ use of the Platform poses a reasonable risk of harm or liability to BP Pulse and, if capable of being cured, Customer is not taking appropriate action to cure such risk; (c) Customer has breached Sections 1.3 or 7; (d) Customer’s or its Users’ use of the Platform violates applicable law; (e) Customer has failed to pay any amounts owed under the Customer Order or, where Customer has purchased a Subscription through an Authorized Reseller, the Authorized Reseller has failed to pay any amounts owed to BP Pulse for the Subscription. BP Pulse shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer with notice of such suspension. BP Pulse may suspend Customer’s access to the Platform until the situation giving rise to the suspension has been remedied to BP Pulse’s reasonable satisfaction. BP Pulse’s suspension of Customer’s access to the Platform will not relieve Customer of its payment obligations under the Customer Order. 

3. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.

3.1 Customer Data. As between the parties, Customer owns all right, title, and interest in and to any electronic data or information input into the Platform by or on behalf of Customer (“Customer Data”). Customer Data does not include Charging Data or Aggregated Data (each defined below). Customer hereby grants to BP Pulse and its authorized representatives and contractors, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as permitted by Section 8.1) license to use the Customer Data solely for the limited purpose of providing the Platform for Customer and fulfilling its other obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement.

3.2 Energy Consumption Data. Certain features of the Platform require Customer to provide BP Pulse with access to its energy consumption data for the location where the EV Charger with an active Subscription is installed (“Energy Consumption Data”). Customer will provide BP Pulse with access to such Energy Consumption Data through the methods identified by BP Pulse, which may require Customer to authorize BP Pulse’s third party integration partner to access Customer’s utility account and provide Energy Consumption Data to BP Pulse. All Energy Consumption Data is Customer Data and, as between BP Pulse and Customer, is owned solely by Customer.

3.3 Charging Data. BP Pulse shall retain ownership of any content, data, or information that is collected or produced by the Platform (“Charging Data”).

BP Pulse will make Customer-Specific Charging Data available via the Platform during the applicable Subscription Term. After the Subscription Term, Customer will have a period of 90 days during which BP Pulse will provide the Customer-Specific Charging Data to Customer in a common format upon Customer’s request at no additional charge. After such 90 day period, BP Pulse reserves the right to charge Customer on a time and materials basis for any Customer-Specific Charging Data that is not immediately retrievable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BP Pulse has no obligation to retain Customer-Specific Charging Data after such 90 day period.

3.4 Aggregated Data. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, BP Pulse may analyze Customer Data to create a de-identified and aggregated data set that does not identify Customer or its Users (collectively, “Aggregated Data”). BP Pulse retains ownership of all right, title, and interest in and to Aggregated Data. BP Pulse may use Aggregated Data for any lawful purpose, including, but not limited to, to improve, market, and provide the Platform.

3.5 The Platform. All proprietary technology utilized by BP Pulse to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and all intellectual property rights in and to the foregoing, as between the parties, are the exclusive property of BP Pulse.

Any rights not expressly granted to Customer hereunder are reserved by BP Pulse.

3.6 Third Party Software. Certain items of software included with the Platform may be subject to “open source” or “free software” licenses (“Open Source Software”). Nothing in this Agreement limits Customer’s rights under, or grants Customer rights that supersede, the terms and conditions of any applicable end user license for the Open Source Software. If required by any license for particular Open Source Software, BP Pulse makes such Open Source Software, and any BP Pulse modifications to that Open Source Software, available by written request to BP Pulse at the email or mailing address included in this Agreement.

BP Pulse does not warrant that the Platform will be completely error-free or uninterrupted. If Customer notifies BP Pulse of a reproducible error in the Platform that indicates a breach of the foregoing warranty (each, an “Error”) within 30 days after Customer experiences such Error, BP Pulse shall, at its own expense and as its sole obligation and Customer’s exclusive remedy: (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to correct or provide a workaround for such Error; or (b) if BP Pulse is unable to correct or provide a workaround for such Error within 60 days after receiving notice of such Error from Customer, Customer may terminate this Agreement upon notice to BP Pulse and, BP Pulse shall refund the amounts paid by Customer for access to the Platform for the period during which the Platform was not usable by Customer.

The foregoing obligations are conditioned on Customer: (a) promptly notifying BP Pulse in writing of such Customer Claim; (b) giving BP Pulse sole control of the defense thereof and any related settlement negotiations; and (c) cooperating and, at BP Pulse’s request and expense, assisting in such defense.

7.2 Protection. Recipient shall not use any Confidential Information for any purpose not expressly permitted by this Agreement and shall not disclose Confidential Information to anyone other than Recipient’s employees and independent contractors who have a need to know such Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement and who are subject to confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than Recipient’s obligations under this Section 7. Recipient will be liable to the Discloser for any of its independent contractor’s acts or omissions, which, if performed by Recipient, would constitute a breach of this Section 7. Recipient shall protect Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, and disclosure in the same manner as Recipient protects its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature and with no less than reasonable care.

Recipient may disclose Confidential Information if required to as part of a judicial process, government investigation, legal proceeding, or other similar process on the condition that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Recipient gives prior written notice of such requirement to Discloser. Recipient shall take reasonable efforts to provide this notice in sufficient time to allow Discloser to seek an appropriate confidentiality agreement, protective order, or modification of any disclosure, and Recipient shall reasonably cooperate in such efforts at the expense of Discloser.

8.3 Waiver. Any waiver of the provisions of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the party providing such waiver and shall not be implied by any usage of trade, course of dealing, or course of performance.

Either party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that is necessary to protect the rights or property of that party, pending the establishment of the arbitral tribunal (or pending the arbitral tribunal’s determination of the merits of the controversy). The courts of the State of Delaware shall have jurisdiction to hear any action to compel arbitration or any other judicial proceedings with respect to this Agreement. IF PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO A DISPUTE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM WITH RESPECT THERETO.
