(ii) Pentair may restrict the volume and type of data and information transmitted to and from the Service if Pentair believes that such volume or type of data or information may adversely affect performance of the Service or other equipment or systems.

5. Responsibility for Use of Service.

(a) You are responsible and liable for all uses of the Service through access provided by You, directly or indirectly. Specifically, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, You are responsible and liable for all actions and failures to take action with respect to the Service by any person or entity to whom You may provide access to or use of the Service.

(b) The Service may include functionality that allows You to control the machines or equipment associated with the IoT Devices, including to remotely activate certain aspects of the machines or equipment associated with IoT Devices. Pentair and its licensors, service providers, suppliers, subcontractors and distributors are not responsible for any access to or use of such functionality. Any access to or use of such functionality is solely at Your own risk. The Service does not prevent performance or maintenance issues with respect to the machines or equipment associated with the IoT Devices. Accordingly, You, remain exclusively responsible for the operation and maintenance of the machines or equipment associated with the IoT Devices. The Service does not provide insurance for the machines or equipment associated with the IoT Devices, is not an insurance product and does not replace regular maintenance of the machines or equipment associated with the IoT Devices.

(c) The Service collects, transmits and processes information relating to, among other things, IoT Devices and mobile devices and their use and operation, as further detailed in Pentair’s Privacy Notice (See Section 7 below) or the Third Party Terms (as applicable) as such notice and terms may be updated over time (referred to together with “Device Data” as the “Service Information”). “Device Data” means the data forwarded or otherwise made available to Pentair and/or its subcontractors by or on behalf of You and Your employees, agents and/or contractors, in connection with their use of the Service, and relating to Your IoT Devices and mobile devices used with the Service. By accessing or using the Service, You consent to the collection, storing, processing, use, sharing and disclosure of all Service Information, as described in Pentair’s Privacy Notice or the Third Party Terms (as applicable).

(d) You understand and agree that the Service Information may be transmitted to and processed in countries that have different data protection Laws than in the country in which You are located or where You have Your principal place of business. You do not assume any obligations with respect to the Service Information, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement or as required by applicable Law.

(e) You hereby grant to Pentair a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, paid-up, right and license, including the right to grant and authorize sublicenses through multiple levels, to access, use, process, manipulate, modify, compile with other data or works and/or create derivative works of the Service Information: (i) for all of the purposes described in, and in accordance with, Pentair’s Privacy Notice; (ii) to otherwise perform Pentair’s obligations to You and provide analytics, business intelligence, operational intelligence and other services to You; and (iii) to improve Pentair’s products and services and provide analytics, business intelligence, operational intelligence and other services, including for Pentair’s other licensees in accordance with Pentair’s Privacy Notice.

Pentair uses various technologies and processes designed to secure communications within Pentair-provided communications systems; however, You recognize that such communication methods have an inherent risk of interception and/or interference and, therefore, may not be secure. You hereby consent to such communications and waive any claims that You may have against Pentair with respect to such communication. Pentair has no responsibility for the availability, quality or performance of communications services or equipment furnished by telecommunication carriers.

(g) Pentair reserves the right to refuse to accept any Service Information that You may provide. Notwithstanding the foregoing, You acknowledge that Pentair has no responsibility for the deletion or failure to store any Service Information.

6. Compliance Measures.

During the Term, Pentair has the right (but not the obligation) to monitor, analyze and audit Your use of the Service to verify Your compliance with this Agreement.

If, however, Pentair makes any Update or Upgrade to the Service generally publicly available to its licensees, other than on a customized basis, then Pentair may, but is not obligated to, provide You with the same Update or Upgrade at no additional cost. The foregoing two sentences shall not affect any mandatory warranty rights You may have under the Law applying to you pursuant to Section 18 in case of a non-conformity of the Service with the Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that You may be required to install Updates for proper functioning and security of the Service or the Pentair IoT Device and that not installing any such required Updates promptly may affect the security and YOUR use of the Service or the Pentair IoT Device.

(c) For clarity, any such Update or Upgrade made available to You hereunder will be deemed to be included within the Service and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable Laws, Pentair may perform such activities without notifying You.

(c) In addition, if You provide Pentair any ideas, proposals, suggestions or other materials (“Feedback”), whether related to the Service or otherwise, such Feedback will be deemed a Submission, and You hereby acknowledge and agree that such Feedback is not confidential, that the provision of such Feedback is gratuitous, unsolicited and without restriction, does not place Pentair under any fiduciary or other obligation, and Pentair may use such Feedback for any purpose whatsoever.

(d) You represent and warrant that You have all rights necessary to grant the licenses granted in this Section 10, and that no Submission is incomplete or inaccurate, or fraudulent, tortious or otherwise in violation of any applicable Law or any right of any Third Party.
