Perceptive Things, Inc. ( “Perceptive Things” or “We”) provides the website located at www.perceptivethings.com (the “Site”), mobile application (“App”), and/or on-line dashboard made available at the Site via login for viewing and analyzing Sensor Data (as defined herein) for use in conjunction with hardware products, services, IoT plug-ins and other software (the “Services”). Some of the Services can be used together or in ways that integrate with products and services from third parties.

These Terms of Use and Privacy Policy (collectively, the "Terms") are a binding contract between you and Perceptive Things. You must agree to and accept all of the Terms, or you don't have the right to use the Site and/or Services. Your use of the Site and/or Services in any way means that you agree to all of these Terms, and these Terms will remain in effect while you use the Services. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to update or revise these Terms. Please check the Terms periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Site and/or Services following the posting of any changes to the Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.

By accessing or using the site or services, or downloading, opening and/or installing the app or any related application, you (“licensee” or “you”) represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older, and accept and agree to be bound by these terms. If you’re agreeing to these terms on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to these Terms on that organization or entity's behalf and bind them to these Terms. If your use of the Services is prohibited by applicable laws, then you aren't authorized to use the Site and/or Services and Perceptive Things cannot and will not be responsible for your using the Site and/or Services in a way that breaks the law. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT USE THE SITE AND/OR SERVICES AND YOU MUST DELETE THE APP FROM YOUR MOBILE DEVICE.

If you do not provide the information you may be refused access to the site and/or Services. You agree that any information you provide in creating your Account is complete and accurate, and you agree to keep it up to date.

Each individual permitted to access the Services through the Account is referred to in these Terms as a “User.” Each User who accesses the Site and/or Services through your Account and must be your employee, member, director, partner, affiliate, consultant, contractor or agent accessing the Services on your behalf. User subscriptions are for named Users only and cannot be shared or used by more than one User, but may be transferred to new Users from Users who no longer require ongoing use of the Services. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of passwords and internal management or administration of the Services for your Users. You agree that Perceptive Things has no liability with regard to the use of such passwords by third parties unless such unauthorized use was the fault of, or a result of the gross negligence of, Perceptive Things. You agree to notify Perceptive Things promptly if you have any reason to believe that the security of your Account has been compromised.

If you believe that your copyright, or the copyright of a person on whose behalf you are authorized to act, has been infringed, you must send a written notice to Perceptive Things containing the following information:

i. A physical or electronic signature of the owner of, or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of, an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

ii. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.

You must submit your written notice containing the above information by fax, email, or postal to the following Designated Agent:

105 West 86th St.

Suite 225

New York, NY 10024

If you believe that the User Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent or pursuant to the law to post and use the material in your User Content, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Designated Agent: (i) Your physical or electronic signature; (ii) Identification of the User Content that has been removed, or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the User Content appeared before it was removed or disabled; (iii) A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the User Content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the User Content; and (iv) Your name, address, telephone number and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in New York, NY, USA and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, Perceptive Things may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complainant informing that person that they may replace the removed Content or cease disabling it in 10 working days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the Content provider, member or user, the removed User Content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 working days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Perceptive Things’ sole discretion.

Beta Services

From time to time, Perceptive Things may invite you to try Beta Services at no charge. You may accept or decline any such trial in your sole discretion. Beta Services will be clearly designated as beta, pilot, limited release, developer preview, non-production, evaluation or by a description of similar import. Beta Services are for evaluation purposes and not for production use, are not considered “Services” under this Agreement, are not supported, and may be subject to additional terms. Unless otherwise stated, any Beta Services trial period will expire upon the earlier of one year from the trial start date or the date that a version of the Beta Services becomes generally available. We may discontinue Beta Services at any time in our sole discretion and may never make them generally available. We will have no liability for any harm or damage arising out of or in connection with a Beta Service.

Term and Termination

You can terminate your Account at any time with 30 days notice and for any reason by informing us that you wish to delete your Account.

Account termination may result in destruction of any User Content and/or Sensor Data associated with your Account, so keep that in mind before you decide to terminate your Account. We will try to provide advance notice to you prior to our terminating your Account so that you are able to retrieve any important User Content or Sensor Data you may have stored in your Account (to the extent allowed by law, these Terms, and the functionality of the Services), but we may not do so if we determine it would be impractical, illegal, not in the interest of someone's safety or security, or otherwise harmful to the rights or property of Perceptive Things.

If you have deleted your Account by mistake, contact us immediately at contact@perceptivethings.com. We will try to restore your Account, but unfortunately, we can't promise that we can recover or restore anything.

For purposes of this section, “Dispute” shall mean any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms (such as with respect to their validity or enforceability), the Services, your (or anybody else’s) access to and/or use of the Services, and/or the provision of content, Products, Services, and/or technology on or through the Site.

Disputes concerning patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of the Site shall not be subject to arbitration, and the notice and 30-day negotiation period required by this paragraph shall not apply to these types of Disputes.

Except as otherwise specifically set forth below, any Dispute of any kind, if unresolved through informal discussions within 30 days of the sending of the notice described above, shall be resolved by binding arbitration to be held in New York. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court in New York, New York to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator(s).

The AAA Rules and fee information are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1 (800) 778-7879.

The arbitrator(s) must follow these Terms and can award the same damages and relief as a court, including injunctive or other equitable relief and attorney’s fees. Perceptive Things and you understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, Perceptive Things and you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. Perceptive Things and you further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

You or Perceptive Things may choose to pursue a claim in small claims court where jurisdiction and venue over you and Perceptive Things otherwise qualifies for such small claims court and where the claim does not include a request for any type of equitable relief. However, if you decide to pursue a claim in small claims court, you agree to still provide Perceptive Things 30-day advance notice by email to contact@perceptivethings.com and by U.S. Mail to 105 West 86th St, Suite 225, New York, NY 10024.
