last update 1 April 2021
This document contains the terms and conditions that apply to Customer's purchases of Products from SMART. Acceptance of Customer's order is based on these terms and conditions of sale applying. By accepting delivery of products from SMART, Customer agrees to be bound and to accept these terms and conditions. These terms and conditions shall apply unless Customer and SMART have signed a separate purchase agreement with different terms and conditions which expressly control.
1. Terms of Sale: payment terms are net 30 days from invoice date with approved credit. (To apply for credit, please request our credit application form. Please allow five (5) business days for the credit review to be conducted.) If credit has not been established with SMART, terms shall be designated as payment in advance. SMART reserves the right at any time and for any reason to require payment in advance, or otherwise to modify, suspend, or terminate any credit terms previously extended to Customer. SMART shall be entitled to refuse or delay shipments for failure by Customer to pay within terms any payments due SMART, whether on this or any other contract between SMART and Customer.
In the event that it becomes necessary for SMART to incur collection costs to collect any amount due and payable, Customer agrees to pay such additional collection costs, charges, and expenses, including attorney's fees if the account is placed in the hands of an attorney or an agency for collection. Prices are subject to change without notice. Payments should be made according to the instructions on the face of the invoice, based on one of the forms of payment described in section 4 of this document.
2. Order Placement: SMART will accept orders via Email.
6. Payment for Premium Monitoring Services: Payment for the iMonnit monitoring services shall proceed annually and automatically renew, with the first services billed upon initiation of the premium service on the iMonnit system. Acceptable forms of payment via EFT only. NOTE: All subscriptions will automatically renew and be billed for according the the amount of sensors on the network unless cancelled in writing 30 days prior to the next renewal date.
7. Cellular Gateway Service Plan/Agreement: Cellular gateways require activation of a 12 months service agreement (paid annually) unless otherwise noted. If customer wishes to cancel a service agreement before the end date, an early termination fee will apply.
8. Payment for Cellular Gateway Service Plan: Cellular data fees are based upon annual billing cycle. If data usage exceeds the (pre-paid) 5 megabyte allowance, automatic billing will occur for the next megabyte at that point (and so-on). Data usage resets at the beginning of the customers billing cycle each year. Customer is obligated to stay current with all cellular service plan fees. Failure to do so may result in suspension or termination of service, in which case, early termination fees or a re-connection fee may apply.
10. International Customers: SMART is not responsible for any brokerage, customs fees, or country taxes. The actual value of all orders is indicated on the invoice, and restatements using lower values are not permitted.
11. Title and Risk of Loss: title to products and risk of loss passes from SMART to Customer upon shipment from SMART's facilities and delivery of product to a common carrier. Title to software will remain with the applicable licencor(s).
12. Claims for Missing or Damaged Goods: any claims by Customer for omission of products in the shipped goods, shortages of product, or damaged goods in a shipment are waived by Customer unless Customer provides notice to SMART within 3 days after Customer's receipt of shipment.
12.1. Acceptance & Returns
Deliveries are deemed to have been accepted by the buyer upon receipt of delivery. All delivery discrepancies must be reported to SMART within three (3) business days of receipt of shipment.

To qualify for a refund or credit (excluding delivery fees, duties and taxes) buyer must contact SMART in writing (via e-mail or post) within 7 days for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA). Requests for an RMA will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and subject to management approval. All cloud services are non refundable.

A valid RMA number must accompany the return and be visible on the outside of the returned package. Returns without an RMA number will be rejected and returned at buyer’s expense. Product being returned within the initial 7 day period for refund or credit must be complete. Failure to return all product will result in a partial refund or credit.

If any hardware component of any Product fails to conform to the warranty in this Section, SMART shall, at its option, refund the purchase price less any discounts, or repair or replace nonconforming Products with conforming Products or Products having substantially identical form, fit, and function and deliver the repaired or replacement Product to a carrier for land shipment to customer within a reasonable period after SMART receives from Customer (i) notice of such non-conformance, and (ii) the non-conforming Product provided; however, if, in its opinion, SMART cannot repair or replace on commercially reasonable terms it may choose to refund the purchase price. Repair parts and replacement products may be reconditioned or new. All replacement products and parts become the property of SMART. Repaired or replacement products shall be subject to the warranty, if any remains, originally applicable to the product repaired or replaced. Customer must obtain from SMART a Return Material Authorization Number (RMA) prior to returning any Products to SMART. Products returned under this Warranty must be unmodified.

22. Force Majeure. SMART shall not be liable for any damages or penalty for delay in delivery or for any other failure to perform in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof if such delay or failure to perform is due in whole or in part to factors beyond SMART's reasonable control, including, but not limited to, delay in transportation or delay in delivery by SMART's vendors.
23. Sever-ability. Any waiver of or modification to the terms of this Agreement will not be effective unless executed in writing and signed by SMART. If any provision of these terms and conditions are held to be unenforceable, in whole or in part, such holding shall not affect the validity of the other provisions of this document (in the event of any inconsistency between these terms and conditions and any other related agreements between Customer and SMART, the terms of this document shall prevail unless any other agreement(s) are signed by both parties and state its/their terms and conditions control).

26. Disputes and Mandatory Arbitration Clause.IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE. IT PROVIDES THAT YOU MAY BE REQUIRED TO SETTLE ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE THROUGH ARBITRATION, EVEN IF YOU WOULD PREFER TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIMS BEFORE A JURY. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS DISCOVERY OR THE RIGHT TO APPEAL THE DECISION, MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION OR MAY BE MORE LIMITED.
a. The Federal Arbitration Act applies these Terms. Any dispute, controversy or claim between us, regardless of whether based on your subscription, the services, the balance on your account, your Product, any prior account you had with us, your application, these Terms, any prior agreement or any other facts, and regardless of whether the legal theory is based on these Terms, another common law theory, a statute or another ground (each, a “Claim”), will be settled by neutral arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Claims within the applicable small claims limit in your jurisdiction may be brought in small claims court rather than arbitration.
b. Forum Selection and Applicable Procedure. Unless you and we agree otherwise, the arbitration will take place in Salt Lake County, Utah. For Claims over $10,000 the AAA's Wireless Industry Arbitration ("WIA") rules will apply. In large/complex cases under the WIA rules, the arbitrators must apply the Federal Rules of Evidence and a party may have the award reviewed by a panel of three new arbitrators. For Claims of $10,000 or less, the complaining party can choose either the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes or individual action in small claims court filed in Salt Lake County, UT. You can obtain procedures, rules and fee information from the AAA (www.ADR.org). Each of us may be required to exchange relevant evidence in advance. For claims of $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing. To initiate arbitration under these Terms, contact the AAA, which will provide the necessary forms for you to submit. In the case of a conflict between any arbitration rules and these Terms, these Terms govern.
c. CLASS ACTION WAIVER. YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO BRING CLAIMS ON A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS BASIS, EVEN IF AAA OR WIA PROCEDURES OR RULES WOULD ALLOW IT. WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY OR COURT TRIAL. The arbitrator may award monetary or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual Claim. IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRE ARBITRATION PROVISION SHALL BE DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE. IN NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL CLASS CLAIMS BE BROUGHT OR ADJUDICATED IN ARBITRATION.
d. Claim Notices. If you or we have a Claim against the other, before initiating, joining, or participating in any lawsuit, arbitration or other legal proceeding, the complaining party shall give the other party: (1) a written notice of the Claim (referred to below as a “Claim Notice”), explaining in reasonable detail the nature of the Claim and any supporting facts; and (2) a reasonable good faith opportunity (not less than 30 days) to resolve the claim without the necessity of a legal proceeding. Any Claim Notice directed to Monnit shall be sent to us at Monnit Corporation, Attn: Legal Department, 4403 S. 500 W. Murray, UT 84123. Any Claim Notice directed to you shall be sent to your address appearing in our records or, if you advise us that you are represented by counsel, to your attorney at your attorney’s office. If you or we fail to comply with this Claim Notices provision before commencing a lawsuit, arbitration or other legal proceeding, that failure shall be a complete defense to all claims asserted in such proceeding.
e. Use of Arbitration Award or Judgments in Subsequent Cases. An arbitration award and any judgment confirming it only applies to the arbitration in which it was awarded and can’t be used in any other case except to enforce the award itself.
f. Cure Provision. You and we intend for both of us to have the right to arbitrate disputes on an individual basis as set forth above. If a court finds any reason to invalidate or refuse to enforce this arbitration provision, the party aggrieved by that decision shall have the right to take unilateral action to eliminate the basis for the court’s decision, such as by waiving any right or remedy it has under these Terms or agreeing to additional fee or cost shifting. This cure right may be exercised during briefing of a motion to compel arbitration, during oral argument, or in a renewed motion to compel arbitration. If a renewed motion is filed, you and we agree that the exercise of cure rights hereunder shall constitute new facts permitting such a renewed motion.
g. Applicable Law. Except to the extent we've agreed otherwise in the provisions on arbitration, or as required by Federal law, these Terms and all disputes between us (whether or not based on these Terms) are governed by the laws of the state of Utah, without regard to that state’s conflict of laws principles.
27. Miscellaneous.a. U.S. Government Restricted Rights. The Software and Site are provided with Restricted Rights. Federal, state and local governments agree to the terms and conditions of this commercial license.
b. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of these Terms, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind us in any respect whatsoever.
c. We may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to these Terms by email, regular mail or postings on the Site. You hereby waive service of process in connection with any legal matters or proceedings pertaining to these Terms, and agree that (to the extent permitted by applicable law) service at the address indicated in your account information is proper service. Such service may be served by mail or fax, which shall be deemed full and complete service on you. If you intend to carry out legal action of any kind against the Site you are required to contact us at least ten (10) business days before any legal claim is made.
d. These Terms contain the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Site, and supersede any prior agreement between you and us on such subject matter. The parties acknowledge that no reliance is placed on any representation made but not expressly contained in these Terms.
e. Any failure on our part to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.
f. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
g. These Terms are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with our prior written consent, but may be assigned or transferred by us without restriction. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of these Terms shall be void.
h. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

26. Disputes and Mandatory Arbitration Clause.IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE. IT PROVIDES THAT YOU MAY BE REQUIRED TO SETTLE ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE THROUGH ARBITRATION, EVEN IF YOU WOULD PREFER TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIMS BEFORE A JURY. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS DISCOVERY OR THE RIGHT TO APPEAL THE DECISION, MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION OR MAY BE MORE LIMITED.
a. The Federal Arbitration Act applies these Terms. Any dispute, controversy or claim between us, regardless of whether based on your subscription, the services, the balance on your account, your Product, any prior account you had with us, your application, these Terms, any prior agreement or any other facts, and regardless of whether the legal theory is based on these Terms, another common law theory, a statute or another ground (each, a “Claim”), will be settled by neutral arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Claims within the applicable small claims limit in your jurisdiction may be brought in small claims court rather than arbitration.
b. Forum Selection and Applicable Procedure. Unless you and we agree otherwise, the arbitration will take place in Salt Lake County, Utah. For Claims over $10,000 the AAA's Wireless Industry Arbitration ("WIA") rules will apply. In large/complex cases under the WIA rules, the arbitrators must apply the Federal Rules of Evidence and a party may have the award reviewed by a panel of three new arbitrators. For Claims of $10,000 or less, the complaining party can choose either the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes or individual action in small claims court filed in Salt Lake County, UT. You can obtain procedures, rules and fee information from the AAA (www.ADR.org). Each of us may be required to exchange relevant evidence in advance. For claims of $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing. To initiate arbitration under these Terms, contact the AAA, which will provide the necessary forms for you to submit. In the case of a conflict between any arbitration rules and these Terms, these Terms govern.
c. CLASS ACTION WAIVER. YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO BRING CLAIMS ON A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS BASIS, EVEN IF AAA OR WIA PROCEDURES OR RULES WOULD ALLOW IT. WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY OR COURT TRIAL. The arbitrator may award monetary or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual Claim. IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRE ARBITRATION PROVISION SHALL BE DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE. IN NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL CLASS CLAIMS BE BROUGHT OR ADJUDICATED IN ARBITRATION.
d. Claim Notices. If you or we have a Claim against the other, before initiating, joining, or participating in any lawsuit, arbitration or other legal proceeding, the complaining party shall give the other party: (1) a written notice of the Claim (referred to below as a “Claim Notice”), explaining in reasonable detail the nature of the Claim and any supporting facts; and (2) a reasonable good faith opportunity (not less than 30 days) to resolve the claim without the necessity of a legal proceeding. Any Claim Notice directed to Monnit shall be sent to us at Monnit Corporation, Attn: Legal Department, 4403 S. 500 W. Murray, UT 84123. Any Claim Notice directed to you shall be sent to your address appearing in our records or, if you advise us that you are represented by counsel, to your attorney at your attorney’s office. If you or we fail to comply with this Claim Notices provision before commencing a lawsuit, arbitration or other legal proceeding, that failure shall be a complete defense to all claims asserted in such proceeding.
e. Use of Arbitration Award or Judgments in Subsequent Cases. An arbitration award and any judgment confirming it only applies to the arbitration in which it was awarded and can’t be used in any other case except to enforce the award itself.
f. Cure Provision. You and we intend for both of us to have the right to arbitrate disputes on an individual basis as set forth above. If a court finds any reason to invalidate or refuse to enforce this arbitration provision, the party aggrieved by that decision shall have the right to take unilateral action to eliminate the basis for the court’s decision, such as by waiving any right or remedy it has under these Terms or agreeing to additional fee or cost shifting. This cure right may be exercised during briefing of a motion to compel arbitration, during oral argument, or in a renewed motion to compel arbitration. If a renewed motion is filed, you and we agree that the exercise of cure rights hereunder shall constitute new facts permitting such a renewed motion.
g. Applicable Law. Except to the extent we've agreed otherwise in the provisions on arbitration, or as required by Federal law, these Terms and all disputes between us (whether or not based on these Terms) are governed by the laws of the state of Utah, without regard to that state’s conflict of laws principles.
27. Miscellaneous.a. U.S. Government Restricted Rights. The Software and Site are provided with Restricted Rights. Federal, state and local governments agree to the terms and conditions of this commercial license.
b. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of these Terms, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind us in any respect whatsoever.
c. We may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to these Terms by email, regular mail or postings on the Site. You hereby waive service of process in connection with any legal matters or proceedings pertaining to these Terms, and agree that (to the extent permitted by applicable law) service at the address indicated in your account information is proper service. Such service may be served by mail or fax, which shall be deemed full and complete service on you. If you intend to carry out legal action of any kind against the Site you are required to contact us at least ten (10) business days before any legal claim is made.
d. These Terms contain the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Site, and supersede any prior agreement between you and us on such subject matter. The parties acknowledge that no reliance is placed on any representation made but not expressly contained in these Terms.
e. Any failure on our part to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.
f. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
g. These Terms are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with our prior written consent, but may be assigned or transferred by us without restriction. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of these Terms shall be void.
h. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
