The foregoing indemnification obligation of JCI is contingent upon you promptly notifying JCI in writing of such claim, permitting JCI sole authority to control the defense or settlement of such claim, and providing JCI reasonable assistance in connection therewith. If a claim of infringement under this Section occurs, or if JCI determines a claim is likely to occur, JCI will have the right, in its sole discretion, to either: (i) procure for you the right or license to continue to use the Software free of the infringement claim; or (ii) modify the Software to make it non-infringing, without loss of material functionality.

JCI must promptly notify you in writing of any such claim, permit you sole authority to control the defense or settlement of the claim, and provide you reasonable assistance in connection therewith.
Limitation of Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL JCI AND ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUPPLIERS AND VENDORS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, WHICH SHALL INCLUDE, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL INJURY, LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA AND BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF THEY HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ANY CASE, THE ENTIRE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF JCI AND ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUPPLIERS AND VENDORS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE) SHALL BE LIMITED TO FEES PAID BY YOU FOR THE SOFTWARE, IF ANY, DURING THE THREE (3) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE FIRST EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.
Confidentiality. You acknowledge that the ideas, methods, techniques, and expressions thereof contained in the Software (collectively, “JCI Confidential Information”) constitute confidential and proprietary information of JCI, the unauthorized use or disclosure of which would be damaging to JCI. You agree to hold the Software and JCI Confidential Information in strictest confidence, disclosing information only to permitted individual employees who are required to have access in order to perform under this Agreement and to use such information only for the purposes authorized by this Agreement. You are responsible for and agree to take all reasonable precautions, by instruction, agreement or otherwise, to ensure that your employees who are required to have access to such information in order to perform under this Agreement, are informed that the Software and JCI Confidential Information are confidential proprietary information belonging to JCI and to ensure that they make no unauthorized use or disclosure of such information. You may disclose JCI Confidential Information if you are required to do so pursuant to a governmental agency, a court of law or to any other competent authority so long as you provide JCI with written notice of such request prior to such disclosure and cooperate with JCI to obtain a protective order. Prior to disposing of any media reflecting or on which is stored or placed any Software, you will ensure any Software contained on the media has been securely erased or otherwise destroyed. You recognize and agree a remedy at law for damages will not be adequate to fully compensate JCI for the breach of Sections 1, 2, or 10. Therefore, JCI will be entitled to temporary injunctive relief against you without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting bond or other security. Injunctive relief will in no way limit any other remedies JCI may have as a result of breach by You of the foregoing Sections or any other provision of this Agreement.
Data Collection and Use. You acknowledge and agree that the Software and/or hardware used in connection with the Software may collect data resulting from or otherwise relating to your use of the Software and/or hardware (“Data”) for purposes of providing you with service/product recommendations, benchmarking, energy monitoring, and maintenance and support. JCI shall be the exclusive owner of all Data. JCI shall have the right to de-identify your Data so that it does not identify you directly or by inference (the “De-Identified Data”). JCI shall have the right and ability to use the De-Identified Data for its business purposes, including improvement of the Software, research, product development, product improvement and provision of products and services to JCI’s other customers (collectively, “JCI’s Business Purposes”. In the event JCI does not own or is unable to own the De-Identified Data as a result of applicable law, or contractual commitments or obligations, you grant JCI a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, fully-paid-up, royalty free license to use, copy, distribute, and otherwise exploit statistical and other data derived from your use of the De-Identified Data for JCI’s Business Purposes.
Feedback. You may provide suggestions, comments, or other feedback (collectively, “Feedback”) to JCI with respect to its products and services, including the Software. Feedback is voluntary and JCI is not required to hold it in confidence. JCI may use Feedback for any purpose without obligation of any kind. To the extent a license is required under your intellectual property rights to make use of the Feedback, you grant JCI an irrevocable, non-exclusive, perpetual, world-wide, royalty-free license to use the Feedback in connection with JCI’s business, including enhancement of the Software, and the provision of products and services to JCI’s customers.

All terms in Part 1 that are not changed by this Part 1A remain unchanged and in effect.
Access to Interactive Functionality. Subject to these Supplemental Terms, JCI grants you a non-transferable, non-exclusive, right (without the right to sublicense) to access and use the Interactive Functionality solely for the purpose of controlling and monitoring the Products you own or are authorized to control and monitor or otherwise accessing a service explicitly provided by JCI for your use (the “Permitted Purpose”). The Interactive Functionality shall be considered part of the Software for purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 2 (Restrictions), 7 (Limited Warranty; Disclaimer) and 9 (Limitation of Liability) of Part 1 – General Terms.
1.1 Automatic Software Updates. JCI may from time to time develop patches, bug fixes, updates, upgrades and other modifications to improve the performance of the Software and the Interactive Functionality (“Updates”). These may be automatically installed without providing any additional notice or receiving any additional consent, and you hereby consent to such automatic Updates. If you do not want such Updates, your remedy is to terminate your Account (if applicable) and/or stop using the Interactive Functionality and the Software. You acknowledge that you may be required to install Updates to use the Interactive Functionality and the Product and you agree to promptly install any Updates JCI provides. Your continued use of the Interactive Functionality and the Product is your agreement to this Agreement, including these Supplemental Terms.

You agree that JCI will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Interactive Functionality or any part thereof. JCI may from time to time supersede or supplement these Supplemental Terms with a subsequent version, including in connection with any future component, release, upgrade or other modification or addition to the Interactive Functionality or the Software.

Usage and Limitations of Interactive Functionality.
3.1 Intended Use. The Interactive Functionality is intended to be accessed and used for non-time-critical information and control of Products, not as a primary and real-time alarm and/or life safety monitoring platform. The Interactive Functionality is subject to sporadic interruptions and failures for a variety of reasons beyond JCI’s control, including Wi-Fi intermittency, service provider uptime, mobile notifications and carriers, among others, as well as routine system maintenance. You acknowledge these limitations and agree that JCI is not responsible for any damages allegedly caused by any interruption, failure or delay of the Interactive Functionality.
3.2 No Life-Safety or Critical Use. JCI makes no warranty or representation that use of the Products or Interactive Functionality will affect or increase any level of safety.

All life threatening and emergency events should be directed to the appropriate emergency response service.
3.3 Reliability of Notifications. You acknowledge that the Interactive Functionality, including remote access and mobile notifications, is not intended to be 100% reliable and 100% available. We cannot and do not guarantee that you will receive notifications in any given time or at all. MOBILE NOTIFICATIONS REGARDING THE STATUS AND ALARMS ON YOUR PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY – THEY ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A THIRD-PARTY MONITORED EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM. YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT RELY ON THE INTERACTIVE FUNCTIONALITY FOR ANY LIFE SAFETY OR CRITICAL PURPOSES. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to educate yourself on how to respond to an emergency and to respond according to the specifics of your situation.
3.4 Temporary Suspension. The Interactive Functionality may be suspended temporarily without notice for security reasons, system failure, maintenance and repair or other circumstances. You agree that you will not be entitled to any refund, rebate or other compensation for such suspensions. JCI does not offer any specific uptime guarantee for the Interactive Functionality.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have all required system elements and that they are compatible and properly configured. You acknowledge that the Interactive Functionality may not work as described when the requirements and compatibility have not been met.
3.6 Product Information. The Interactive Functionality provides you information regarding the status and operation of Products (“Product Information”). All Product Information is provided “as is” and “as available”. We cannot guarantee that it is correct or up to date. In cases where it is critical, accessing Product Information through the Interactive Functionality is not a substitute for direct access of the information at your site or third party monitoring of your Product.
3.7 Responsibility for Content. All information transmitted through the Interactive Functionality, including, without limitation, alarm event information, text, photographs, video and information that you and other Authorized Users provide us in the course of using the Interactive Functionality (collectively, “Content”), is the sole responsibility of the person from whom (or from whose account) such Content originated, and JCI will not be liable for any errors or omissions in any Content. You acknowledge that all Content accessed by you using the Interactive Functionality is at your own risk and you will be solely responsible for any damage or loss to any party resulting therefrom. We cannot control and have no duty to take any action regarding how you may interpret and use the Content or what actions you may take as a result of having been exposed to the Content, and you hereby release us from all liability for you having acquired or not acquired Content through the Interactive Functionality.
3.8 Compliance with Law. You warrant, represent and agree that you will not use the Interactive Functionality in a manner that (i) infringes or violates the intellectual property rights, rights of publicity or privacy or other rights of any third party; (ii) violates any applicable law or regulation; (iii) is harmful, fraudulent, deceptive, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous or otherwise objectionable; (iv) impersonates any person or entity, including without limitation any employee or representative of JCI; (v) contains a virus, Trojan horse, worm, time bomb or other harmful computer code, file or program; (vi) jeopardizes the security of your JCI Account or anyone else’s Account (such as allowing someone else to log in to the Interactive Functionality as you); (vii) attempts, in any manner, to obtain the password, account or other security information from any other user; (viii) violates the security of any computer network or cracks any passwords or security encryption codes; (ix) runs Maillist, Listserv or any form of auto-responder or “spam” on the Interactive Functionality or any processes that otherwise interfere with the proper working of the Interactive Functionality (including by placing an unreasonable load on the Interactive Functionality infrastructure); (x) copies or stores any significant portion of the Content; or (xi) decompiles, reverse engineers or otherwise attempts to obtain the source code or underlying ideas or information of or relating to the Interactive Functionality.
