7.  LOVE YOUR EVERGREEN//ONE SUBSCRIPTION GUARANTEE. Except for Evergreen//One subscriptions purchased through a Public Cloud Provider, the first Evergreen//One subscription purchased by End User comes with a 30-day “money back” guarantee, under which End User may be eligible to receive a full refund for the applicable Evergreen//One subscription, provided (a) End User must have performed a good-faith installation of the hardware and enabled the Pure1® phone home feature, and (b) End User must have notified Everpure within 30 days of receipt of the hardware to elect for a refund, and must (i) cease use of Evergreen//One, and (ii) if applicable, return the Service Infrastructure within 10 days of such notice, in like new condition (other than normal wear and tear). Everpure will pay the shipping costs for returns in accordance with Everpure’s reasonable instructions. Refunds will be processed within 30 days following the later of (1) End User’s final use of Evergreen//One; or (2) Everpure’s receipt of the returned Service Infrastructure. Everpure reserves the right to charge reasonable refurbishing fees for damage to the Service Infrastructure while under End User’s control. If End User has conducted an evaluation of Evergreen//One, then End User has had an opportunity to evaluate Evergreen//One and is not eligible for this guarantee.

8.  SERVICE TERM.

8.1  Subscription Start Date. Except for Cloud Block Store and unless otherwise set forth in the quote, the Service Term for all subscriptions commence as follows: (a) twenty-eight (28) days following Everpure’s acceptance of the order, as identified in Pure1; or (b) upon Everpure’s acceptance of the order for any renewal or modification of a subscription, as identified in Pure1. Cloud Block Store subscriptions commence one (1) day from order acceptance. Note: for some locations, subscriptions may start forty-five (45) days following Everpure’s acceptance of the order. This information will be set forth in Everpure's quote to the authorized reseller.

8.2  Renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew for 12 months with a valid Purchase Order, and End User will be invoiced accordingly, unless End User provides Everpure and/or its authorized reseller written notice of its intent not to renew the subscription at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Service Term. In the event End User continues to use Evergreen//One after the expiration of the Service Term it will be charged for Post Service Term Usage in accordance with Section 8.4 below unless the End User enters into a new subscription or extends the subscription. In this event End User will be subject to a reinstatement fee equal to five percent (5%) of the annual contract value.

8.3  Expiration. These Terms, and End User’s rights to use Evergreen//One terminate upon expiration of the applicable Service Term.

8.4  Post-Service Term Usage. If any Workloads remain on the Service Infrastructure following the Expiration of the Service Term, as per Section 8.3. above, End User is not entitled to the Post Term Grace Period and shall pay a minimum Daily Rate (invoiced monthly in arrears) for each day that the Service Infrastructure is not returned. At a minimum, the Daily Rate is equivalent to End User’s Reserve Commitment plus 25% buffer capacity, at the On-Demand Rate. If there is any utilization above the Reserve Commitment plus 25% buffer capacity, End User will be charged the greater usage at the On-Demand Rate. Everpure is not responsible for any performance obligations or Service Level Agreements after Expiration of the Service Term.

8.5  Termination for Convenience. End User may terminate a subscription for any reason and at any time, provided that End User: (a) provides Everpure 60 days’ prior written notice; (b) pays in full any On-Demand charges incurred through the date of termination; and (c) pays in full all Reserve Commitments outstanding from the date of termination through the end of the Service Term.

8.6  Termination for Cause. These Terms, and End User’s rights to use Evergreen//One, terminate immediately if: (a) End User fails to make timely payments for the subscription to Everpure or its authorized reseller; (b) voluntary or involuntary proceedings by or against End User are instituted in bankruptcy under any insolvency law, or a receiver or custodian is appointed for the End User, or proceedings are instituted by or against the End User for corporate reorganization or the dissolution of the End User, or if End User makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (c) a party materially breaches any provision of these Terms or the Agreement and fails to cure such breach within 30 days from the date of such party’s written notice to the other party. End User is only obligated to pay for Evergreen//One utilization through the date of termination if the subscription is terminated for cause pursuant to Everpure’s uncured material breach as set forth in Section 8.6(c).

8.7  Effect of Termination. Upon any termination or expiration of a subscription, End User shall promptly: (a) discontinue use of Evergreen//One; (b) pay all amounts due for Evergreen//One for the duration of the Service Term, unless terminated for cause pursuant to Section 8.6(c); and (c) return all Service Infrastructure to Everpure. In the event End User fails to return the Service Infrastructure as instructed by Everpure, Everpure reserves the right to use all options under law to access and retrieve its property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any amounts prepaid through the date of termination are final and non-refundable.

8.8  U.S. Federal and State Government End Users. US Government End Users may terminate a subscription, upon no less than 30 day’s prior written notice to Everpure if the US Government End User terminates or suspends performance of its contract or applicable task order with the Everpure authorized reseller for failing or refusing to fund or to secure appropriations to fulfill or fund its obligations under its contract with the Everpure authorized reseller. Upon expiration or termination of a subscription, the US Government End User shall: (i) immediately discontinue use of Evergreen//One; and (ii) promptly return the applicable Service Infrastructure to Everpure. Everpure reserves the right to enter the US Government End User’s premises, escorted by the US Government End User’s personnel (as applicable), to access and retrieve the Service Infrastructure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any amounts paid to Everpure for Evergreen//One for periods prior to the termination date are final and non-refundable if the subscription is terminated pursuant to this Section.

9.  INCREASES TO RESERVE COMMITMENTS AND UNUSED COMMITEMENTS.

9.1  Increases to Reserve Commitments. Reserve Commitments may be increased by the End User at any time during the applicable Service Term. End User acknowledges and agrees that Reserve Commitments shall not be reduced and if terminated Sections 8.5 to 8.7 above shall apply.

9.2  Unused Commitments. Any aspect of a Reserve Commitment unused by the End User does not rollover for consumption in any subsequent year within a Service Term or any renewals of a Subscription.

10.  SERVICE INFRASTRUCTURE.

10.1  Management. Sizing of Service Infrastructure is based on the Workload and subject to Everpure’s reasonable discretion. Everpure may expand, modify, substitute, replace, or remove any component of Service Infrastructure deployed to provide Evergreen//One to meet the Workload based on data reduction efficiencies Everpure sees with similar end users across its install base. Everpure ships Service Infrastructure following confirmation of the datacenter’s readiness, as determined by completion of Everpure’s pre-site survey. All shipments are at Everpure’s sole cost and expense. The Service Infrastructure must not be moved without Everpure’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any move performed without Everpure's consent shall incur additional charges as provided by Everpure to the End Customer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, End User is responsible for ensuring Everpure’s access to the datacenter for all services Everpure reasonably requires to perform on the Service Infrastructure in order to continue providing Evergreen//One.

10.2  End User Responsibilities. End User is responsible for any and all damage or loss, except for normal wear and tear, to any Service Infrastructure, from the moment of receipt by End User until returned to Everpure. End User shall promptly reimburse Everpure for any and all costs to replace or repair any Service Infrastructure that is damaged or lost.

10.3.  Workload Management. End User is responsible for balancing its usage of Service Infrastructure deployed for a given Licence. Therefore, End User must balance usage across all Service Infrastructure deployed for a given Licence prior to Everpure providing any additional Service Infrastructure. For clarity, Everpure may not ship additional Service Infrastructure to any Licence unless: (a) End User has maximized usage across all Service Infrastructure within the Licence subscription; and (b) consumption of Evergreen//One has exceeded 80% of Effective Usable Capacity of the Service Infrastructure for any given Licence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, shipment of additional Service Infrastructure is subject to the payment of all current and outstanding invoices for Evergreen//One.

End User acknowledges and agrees that: (1) End User will comply with these Terms and; (2) Everpure must be able to manage the Service using Everpure Edge Services, for Everpure to deliver the Service according to these Terms. Therefore, to the extent within End User’s reasonable control, End User shall enable or allow Everpure to enable Everpure Edge Services, and ensure that Everpure Edge Services are not disabled. Everpure reserves the right, upon prior notice, to exercise any of the following remedies if Everpure Edge Services is disabled in excess of 4 consecutive days in any 30-day period during the Service Term: (a) demand payment of the Pure1 Connectivity Charge for the period of time Pure1 is disabled; or (b) upon 15 days’ prior written notice, suspend or terminate the subscription.

If there is any utilization above the Reserve Commitment plus 25% buffer capacity, End User will be charged the greater usage at the On-Demand Rate.

14.  TITLE. Everpure and its suppliers exclusively retain all right, title, and interest in all Service Infrastructure, the embedded software, and all intellectual property rights therein, including without limitation all patent, trademark, trade secret, know- how, trade name and copyright, whether registered or not registered. Everpure and its suppliers reserve all rights not expressly granted herein, and no licence or other implied rights of any kind are granted or conveyed except for the limited right to access and use Evergreen//One, as described herein. Evergreen//One remains Everpure’s sole and exclusive personal property, and End User shall not encumber, sell, or otherwise dispose of the Evergreen//One Service Infrastructure without having received prior written authorization from Everpure.

If End User fails to provide the Logs, then Everpure may exercise any of the following options: (i) demand End User to pay a minimum Daily Rate (invoiced monthly in arrears) for each day that End User does not provide the Logs to Everpure at a minimum of the Daily Rate equivalent to End User’s Reserve Commitment plus 25% buffer capacity, at the On-Demand Rate. End User will be charged the greater usage at the On-Demand Rate, if there is any utilization above the Reserve Commitment plus 25% buffer capacity; or (ii) suspension or termination of the subscription, provided that Everpure notify End User prior to any such suspension or termination.
