WATTMORE offers its customer access to multiple proprietary software platforms. “Intellect Operate” is WATTMORE’s proprietary energy management system that remotely monitors and manages the energy storage assets and enables the optimization of its customers’ energy use. “Intellect EnForm” is a solar monitoring and control solution for monitoring, managing and monetizing utility, commercial and residential solar project systems. Both Intellect Operate and Intellect EnForm are comprised of on-premises software (“On-Prem Software”) and software-as-a-service (“Software Services,” and together with the On-Prem Software and Professional Services, the “Services”). The On-Prem Software and Software Services, as used herein, refer to either Intellect EnForm, Intellect Operate or both, depending on the Services purchased by Customer pursuant to the Purchase Order (s) entered by the Parties hereunder.

Nothing in this Agreement or any Purchase Order shall operate to create any employment relationship. Unless otherwise noted in a Purchase Order, WATTMORE may perform the Professional Services for Customer at: (i) WATTMORE’s premises, or (ii) any other location as mutually agreed to between the Parties. WATTMORE shall have the sole right to designate the appropriate personnel necessary to accomplish the Professional Services to be performed under a Purchase Order. WATTMORE reserves the right to substitute personnel for any reason and in its own discretion, provided that the rates charged for the substituted personnel may not exceed the rates agreed to in the Purchase Order.
3. Authorized Users. WATTMORE acknowledges that Customer may be acquiring the Services on its own behalf or on behalf of the specific end-user entity that is set forth on the applicable Purchase Order (“Authorized User”). Each Purchase Order may also set forth a specified location for each project/Authorized User. Customer represents and warrants that it has the authority to bind each Customer affiliate and Authorized User to the terms of this Agreement. Each Authorized User may be required to enter into separate terms of service or similar agreement directly with WATTMORE. Customer shall be responsible for ensuring its Authorized Users’ compliance with this Agreement and for any acts or omissions of its Authorized Users.
4. Devices. Customer may be required to purchase hardware, equipment or accessories developed, manufactured and/or sold by a third party and/or WATTMORE pursuant to a Purchase Order (“Devices”, and together with the applicable Software Services and On-Prem Software, the “System”) to use the Services. Additional terms provided with the Purchase Order may apply to the purchase and sale of such Devices. Except as expressly set forth herein, WATTMORE makes no warranties regarding the Devices and is not responsible for Customer’s or any Authorized User’s use of the Devices or any damages, harm or liability arising therefrom. WATTMORE will work with Customer if any updates or upgrades to the Services require any upgrades to or replacement of Devices to remain compatible with the Services.
