6.1           This Agreement is effective on the Effective Date and will remain in full force and effect for an initial term specified on the Order.

6.2           In addition to any other rights provided in this Agreement, either party may immediately terminate this Agreement if (A) the other party fails to cure any material breach of its obligations or of any term or condition applicable to such party, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice or (B) a party experiences a Bankruptcy Event.

FleetUp will issue the first invoice 5 days after the units have been shipped to the customer, this is referred to as the Effective Date. All units must be shipped to the customer within 30 days of the contract signing. If a customer fails to provide the required vehicle information within that 30-day period, FleetUp reserves the right to start billing for the services immediately. If a deployment schedule has been agreed to and outlined in the contract, the first invoice will be issued 5 days after the first deployment. Subsequent monthly invoices will include units shipped the previous month, prorated, according to the agreed upon deployment schedule. Due to the lead time and capital required to secure inventory, the Customer may not change the deployment schedule after a contract is signed, however, FleetUp may allow up to a 30-day hold on a deployment as a courtesy determined on a case by case basis. Any questions regarding FleetUp’s Billing Policy can be referred to billing@fleetup.com.

7.4           If Customer terminates this Agreement during its initial Term, termination will be effective at the end of the subsequent monthly billing period following receipt of Customer’s termination notice. Additionally, if Customer terminates this Agreement during its initial Term, or if TrueLite Trace terminates this Agreement during its Initial Term for a reason set forth in Section 6.2, Customer agrees to pay, in addition to any outstanding fees and charges for the Services rendered prior to termination, the full remaining charge(s) of fees payable for the unexpired. This amount is a contract termination charge and is not a penalty. TrueLite Trace shall have the right to increase the Services fees after the initial Term.

The obligations contained in this paragraph shall survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement.

D.             U.S. Government End User Purchasers. All Software, including all components thereof, and documentation provided therewith qualify as “commercial items,” as that term is defined at Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) (48 C.F.R.) 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in FAR 12.212. Consistent with FAR 12.212 and DoD FAR Supp. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, and notwithstanding any other FAR or other contractual clause to the contrary in any agreement into which this Agreement may be incorporated, Customer may provide to Government end user or, if this Agreement is direct, Government end user will acquire, the Software with only those rights set forth in this Agreement. Use of the Software constitutes agreement by the Government that all Software is “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” and constitutes acceptance of the rights and restrictions herein.

E.             Choice of Law; Venue.

The sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for actions arising under this Agreement shall be the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California; Customer and TrueLite Trace hereby agree to service of process in accordance with the rules of such courts.

This Agreement prevails over any pre-printed, conflicting or additional terms of any purchase Quotation, Quotationing document, acknowledgement or confirmation or other document issued by Customer before or after execution of this Agreement, even if accepted in writing by both parties.  Any such document is hereby deemed rejected and extraneous to this Agreement and TrueLite Trace’s performance of this Agreement shall not be deemed acceptance of the terms of any such documents or an amendment to (or agreement to amend) this Agreement.  This Agreement may be modified by a “click wrap” or “click accept” agreement that TrueLite Trace incorporates into or as a condition of accessing the Software and the Services.  Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement may be amended, or any term or condition set forth herein waived, only by a writing hand signed by both parties where “in writing” does not include an e-mail message and “hand signed” does not include an electronic signature.

I.               Severability and Waiver. Should any term of this Agreement be declared invalid, void or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction or by an arbitration panel (as applicable), that provision shall be modified, limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary to effectuate the original intent and such declaration shall have no effect on the remaining terms hereof, which shall continue in full force and effect. The failure of either party to enforce any rights granted hereunder or to take action against the other party in the event of any breach hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver by that party as to subsequent enforcement of rights or subsequent actions in the event of future breaches.

J.              Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, without the other party’s prior written consent, provided each party expressly reserves the right to assign this Agreement in its entirety to a successor in interest of all or substantially all of its business or assets. Any action or conduct in violation of the foregoing shall be void and without effect. Subject to the foregoing, all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the successors and permitted assigns.

L.             Equitable Relief. The parties agree that a material breach of this Agreement adversely affecting TrueLite Trace’s or its suppliers’ intellectual property rights in Software or the Confidential Information of either party may cause irreparable injury to such party for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and the non-breaching party shall be entitled to equitable relief (without a requirement to post a bond) in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law.

M.            Independent Contractors. The parties are independent contractors, and this Agreement shall not establish any relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or agency between the parties.

N.             Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including facsimile, PDF or other electronic counterparts), with the same effect as if the parties had signed the same document.  Each counterpart so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one Agreement.
