- GENERAL.
- Publicity. Unless otherwise agreed to by Customer, ENER-i shall not publicize ENER-i’s relationship with Customer, except that ENER-i may publicly list or identify Customer as one of its clients, including use of Customer’s logo on ENER-i’s website and in its marketing collateral. For clarity, nothing herein precludes ENER-i from publicizing anonymized customer success stories, including successful projects and/or installations.
- Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Order and any exhibits, schedules and/or attachments referenced herein or issued hereunder constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter contemplated herein, and supersede any prior representations, agreements, negotiations, or understandings between them, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof, provided that with respect to Confidential Information disclosed thereunder this Agreement shall not affect any surviving provision of any NDA or other agreement by and between the parties. No waiver, alteration, or modification of any of the provisions of the Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of the parties hereto.
- Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement, are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Texas, without giving effect to any conflict of laws provisions thereof. The parties expressly agree to exclude the application of the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980) to this Agreement and the performance of the parties contemplated herein, to the extent that such convention might otherwise be applicable.
- Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of this Agreement will be settled by binding arbitration pursuant to the Commercial Rules (or Consumer Rules, to the extent applicable) of the American Arbitration Association (“Rules”) then in effect. Notwithstanding those Rules, the following provisions will apply to such arbitration: (a) Texas law shall apply, (b) the arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator; however, at the request of either party, a panel of three arbitrators will conduct the arbitration, with one arbitrator chosen by each of the parties and the third appointed by the other two arbitrators, (c) the fees of the arbitrator(s) shall be equally borne (50/50) by the parties, and (d) the proceedings shall be in the English language and shall take place in Austin, Texas or another location reasonably convenient to both parties. The arbitrator(s) shall reach a binding decision regarding the issues presented as it deems fair, reasonable and appropriate, and such decision shall have the full force and effect of a binding judgment, which may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction. Notwithstanding this provision, each party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree to resolve any dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not on a class or collective basis. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any claim or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. If at any point this provision is determined to be unenforceable, the parties agree that this provision shall not be severable, unless it is determined that the arbitration may still proceed on an individual basis only.
- Relationship of Parties. The parties are independent contractors and the Agreement will not establish any relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency between the parties. Neither party will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other’s behalf without the other’s prior written consent. ENER-i reserves the right to utilize subcontractors.
- Attorneys’ Fees. In any court action at law or equity which is brought by one of the parties to enforce or interpret the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, in addition to any other relief to which that party may be entitled.
- Equitable Relief. The parties agree that a material breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement or restrictions set forth herein would cause irreparable injury to ENER-i for which monetary damages alone would not be an adequate remedy, and therefore ENER-i shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any other remedies it may have hereunder or at law, without the requirement of posting bond or proving actual damages.
- Force Majeure. Neither party shall be deemed to have breached any provision of the Agreement or be liable in any way for any delay, failure in performance, loss, damage or interruption of service resulting directly or indirectly from acts of God, network failures, acts of civil or military authorities, civil disturbances, wars, terrorism, energy crises, fires, transportation contingencies, interruption or failures of communication systems or Internet equipment or service, other catastrophes, equipment failure, acts or omissions of third-party application or service providers or any other occurrences which are beyond the party’s reasonable control.
- Government Use. The use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure, or transfer (“Use”) of the Service(s), no matter how received by the United States Government, is restricted in accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein. All other use is prohibited. Further, the Service(s) was developed at ENER-i’s private expense and is commercial in nature. By using or receiving the Service(s), any Government user agrees to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement including the terms and conditions contained in this paragraph.
- Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that no consent is required in connection with a merger, reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, sale of assets or similar transaction. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be null and void. The Agreement shall be binding on all permitted successors and assigns.
- Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof, or any terms thereof, shall not affect the validity of the Agreement as a whole, which will at all times remain in full force and effect.
- Waiver. The failure of either party to enforce at any time the provisions of the Agreement, or the failure to require at any time performance by the other party of any of the provisions of the Agreement, shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provisions, nor in any way affect the ability of either party to enforce each and every such provision thereafter. The express waiver by either party of any provision, condition or requirement of the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.
- Notices. All notices required or permitted under the Agreement will be in writing and delivered by courier or overnight delivery service, or by certified mail, and in each instance will be deemed given upon receipt. All communications will be sent to the addresses set forth in this Section or in the Order or to such other address as may be specified by either party to the other in accordance with this Section. Notices to ENER-i should be sent to ENER-i.AI, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 13001 W. Hwy 71, Suite G100, Austin, TX

- Survival. Sections 2.2, 3.2, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11.4, 11.5,12 and 13, and any provision that, in order to give proper effect to its intent, should survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement, shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement. All other rights and obligations shall cease and be of no further force or effect.
- GENERAL.
- Publicity. Unless otherwise agreed to by Customer, ENER-i shall not publicize ENER-i’s relationship with Customer, except that ENER-i may publicly list or identify Customer as one of its clients, including use of Customer’s logo on ENER-i’s website and in its marketing collateral. For clarity, nothing herein precludes ENER-i from publicizing anonymized customer success stories, including successful projects and/or installations.
- Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Order(s) and any schedules and/or attachments referenced herein or issued hereunder constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter contemplated herein, and supersede any prior representations, agreements, negotiations, or understandings between them, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof, provided that with respect to Confidential Information disclosed thereunder this Agreement shall not affect any surviving provision of any NDA or other agreement by and between the parties. No waiver, alteration, or modification of any of the provisions of the Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of the parties hereto.
- Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement, are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Texas, without giving effect to any conflict of laws provisions thereof. The parties expressly agree to exclude the application of the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980) to this Agreement and the performance of the parties contemplated herein, to the extent that such convention might otherwise be applicable.
- Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of this Agreement will be settled by binding arbitration pursuant to the Commercial Rules (or Consumer Rules, to the extent applicable) of the American Arbitration Association (“Rules”) then in effect. Notwithstanding those Rules, the following provisions will apply to such arbitration: (a) Texas law shall apply, (b) the arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator; however, at the request of either party, a panel of three arbitrators will conduct the arbitration, with one arbitrator chosen by each of the parties and the third appointed by the other two arbitrators, (c) the fees of the arbitrator(s) shall be equally borne (50/50) by the parties, and (d) the proceedings shall be in the English language and shall take place in Austin, Texas or another location reasonably convenient to both parties. The arbitrator(s) shall reach a binding decision regarding the issues presented as it deems fair, reasonable and appropriate, and such decision shall have the full force and effect of a binding judgment, which may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction. Notwithstanding this provision, each party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree to resolve any dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not on a class or collective basis. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any claim or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. If at any point this provision is determined to be unenforceable, the parties agree that this provision shall not be severable, unless it is determined that the arbitration may still proceed on an individual basis only.
- Relationship of Parties. The parties are independent contractors and the Agreement will not establish any relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency between the parties. Neither party will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other’s behalf without the other’s prior written consent. ENER-i reserves the right to utilize subcontractors.
- Attorneys’ Fees. In any court action at law or equity which is brought by one of the parties to enforce or interpret the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, in addition to any other relief to which that party may be entitled.
- Equitable Relief. The parties agree that a material breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement or restrictions set forth herein would cause irreparable injury to ENER-i for which monetary damages alone would not be an adequate remedy, and therefore ENER-i shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any other remedies it may have hereunder or at law, without the requirement of posting bond or proving actual damages.
- Force Majeure. Neither party shall be deemed to have breached any provision of the Agreement or be liable in any way for any delay, failure in performance, loss, damage or interruption of service resulting directly or indirectly from acts of God, network failures, acts of civil or military authorities, civil disturbances, wars, terrorism, energy crises, fires, transportation contingencies, interruption or failures of communication systems or Internet equipment or service, other catastrophes, equipment failure, acts or omissions of third-party application or service providers or any other occurrences which are beyond the party’s reasonable control.
- Government Use. The use, duplication, reproduction, release, modification, disclosure, or transfer (“Use”) of the Service(s), no matter how received by the United States Government, is restricted in accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein. All other use is prohibited. Further, the Service(s) was developed at ENER-i’s private expense and is commercial in nature. By using or receiving the Service(s), any Government user agrees to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement including the terms and conditions contained in this paragraph.
- Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that no consent is required in connection with a merger, reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, sale of assets or similar transaction. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be null and void. The Agreement shall be binding on all permitted successors and assigns.
- Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof, or any terms thereof, shall not affect the validity of the Agreement as a whole, which will at all times remain in full force and effect.
- Waiver. The failure of either party to enforce at any time the provisions of the Agreement, or the failure to require at any time performance by the other party of any of the provisions of the Agreement, shall in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provisions, nor in any way affect the ability of either party to enforce each and every such provision thereafter. The express waiver by either party of any provision, condition or requirement of the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.
- Notices. All notices required or permitted under the Agreement will be in writing and delivered by courier or overnight delivery service, or by certified mail, and in each instance will be deemed given upon receipt. All communications will be sent to the addresses set forth in this Section or in the Order or to such other address as may be specified by either party to the other in accordance with this Section. Notices to ENER-i should be sent to ENER-i.AI, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 13001 W. Hwy 71, Suite G100, Austin, TX
