EOS LINX PRODUCT AND SERVICE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (“TERMS”) GOVERN CUSTOMER’S PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES (“PRODUCT”) FROM EOS LINX, LLC (“EOS”). ANY ADDITIONAL PRINTED TERMS AND/OR CONDITIONS IN CUSTOMER’S PROPOSAL, PURCHASE ORDER OR OTHER DOCUMENT CONFLICTING WITH OR ADDING TO THESE TERMS, SHALL BE OF NO FORCE AND EFFECT, UNLESS AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF EOS AGREES IN WRITING TO ACCEPT SUCH ADDITIONAL TERMS AND/OR CONDITIONS.
- Grant of License for EOS Owned and Operated transactions. Customer
hereby grants to EOS the exclusive right to install, operate and
maintain EOS Stations at the deployment locations (“Deployment
Locations”) listed on the Proposal, which may be amended from time to
time as necessary to update the Deployment Locations. The Parties will
work in good faith to determine the ultimate deployment of EOS Stations
at each of the Deployment Locations and may execute additional
documentation as necessary to address all relevant terms and conditions
specific to each Deployment Location.
- EOS Station Upgrades and Modifications
EOS may at any time elect to add, upgrade, or change the specific model of EV charger for reasons of commercial benefit, operational stability, revenue enhancement, increased functionality, and/or legal or commercial program compliance. However, EOS may not swap or replace an EOS Station if such swap or replacement would cause a material reduction in the quality or service capabilities of the EOS Station installed in such Deployment Location.
EOS and its employees and vendors shall, at any time during the Term of this Agreement, have the right to access a Deployment Location to maintain, inspect, repair or replace any portion of the EOS Station pursuant to its obligations hereunder.
- Installation.
The Proposal shall define which party, EOS or Customer (the
“Responsible Party”), will (i) be responsible for providing and
installing, at its cost, electrical infrastructure for the EOS Stations
at the point of connection (the “Make Ready”), and (ii) will have sole
control over supervising and conducting the construction and
installation activities for the EOS Station, and have sole control over
construction, construction schedule, and installation means, methods,
techniques, sequences, and procedures, including the coordination of all
work related thereto (the “Station Install”). Before beginning
activities to install the EOS Station at the Property, the Responsible
Party shall give a copy of the tentative construction schedule and
installation plans to the other party for its approval, which approval
shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld. No EOS
Install will begin until plans have been approved by all parties and all
applicable permits and certifications for the EOS Install has been
obtained. Upon approval of the Station Install plans and completion of
the Make Ready by the Responsible Party, the Responsible Party will, at
its sole expense, oversee and manage the configuration of the EOS
Station at the point of connection. The Station Install shall include
the hiring and coordination of all vendors and contractors for the
Station Install; the installation of chargers, hardware and software for
the operation of the EOS Station; any EV charging mobile applications,
the installation of connectivity; furnish and install any applicable
power management solution and the installation of all EOS required
signage.
Unless otherwise agreed upon or if Customer has previously acquired such licenses, permits, or other approvals required, EOS will support or obtain as defined in the Proposal, from applicable governmental authorities all licenses, permits, or other approvals required to install the EOS Station, and Customer will reasonably cooperate upon request with EOS’s efforts to do so.
Where EOS is the Responsible Party, Customer grants to EOS and its employees and vendors the non-exclusive right to use and occupy the Deployment Locations for the construction and installation of the EOS Stations, and EOS shall confine its operations strictly to those sites permitted by applicable law, ordinances, permits and this Agreement. Only those materials and equipment that are being used directly in the construction and installation of EOS Station shall be brought to and stored on the Deployment Location and its adjacent areas. EOS shall ensure that, subject to reasonable and unavoidable interruptions, all work is performed in a manner that affords continuous, reasonable access to the Deployment Locations.
Unless Customer has executed an Proposal under the EOS Purchase Program, or as otherwise defined in the Proposal, on completion of the installation of each EOS Station, EOS shall continue to retain all ownership rights therein and shall have the right to remove all or a portion of the same at any time during the Term set forth in the Proposal, whether or not said items are considered fixtures and attachments to the Deployment Locations under applicable laws, provided prior to removal EOS must comply with the termination provisions of this Agreement.
Operation and Maintenance. In the event of any EOS Station failure, damage, or other problem requiring repair, replacement, adjustment, or maintenance, Customer shall notify EOS, or a person designated by EOS within twenty-four (24) hours of first becoming aware of such failure or problem. Customer will not permit anyone other than an authorized representative or designee of EOS to perform any service or repair work on the EOS Station without EOS’s prior written approval. EOS and its representatives, employees and vendors shall always at any reasonable time and during business hours have the right to enter and upon a Deployment Location for the purpose of inspecting, repairing, maintaining, replacing or upgrading the EOS Station or any portion thereof, and observing its use.
Exclusivity. Customer hereby grants EOS an exclusive right to provide electric vehicle charging and related services at the agreed upon Deployment Locations during the Term.
- Utility Matters.
Except to the extent set forth to the contrary in the Proposal or subsequently agreed in writing by the Parties, EOS shall be responsible for obtaining the electrical service and any other utilities necessary to operate the EOS Station. Customer shall cooperate with EOS as necessary in that regard, including by granting appropriate easements to local utility providers. Where possible, EOS may establish separately metered electricity for EOS Stations with EOS as the owner of record for such meter. For any EOS Stations not separately metered, EOS shall measure in kWh and provide monthly reports to Customer showing the electricity used by the EOS Station.
Neither Customer nor EOS has any responsibility or liability for interruption, curtailment, failure, or defect in the supply or character of utilities furnished to facilities or equipment located at a Deployment Location, unless the cause of the interruption is caused by the negligence, or willful misconduct of Customer or EOS.
The responsibility for payment of the monthly recurring cost for electricity consumed by the platform will be determined based on the specific EOS product that is deployed and as agreed upon and documented in the separate EOS Proposal.
- EOS Station Upgrades and Modifications
Media and Advertising. With respect to any Product equipped with digital displays, Customer grants EOS the exclusive right to sell and run advertising spots (“Ads”) on the displays; provided, however, that all Ads sold and run on the displays (a) are subject to Customer’s prior written approval if desired and specifically requested and (b) shall expressly comply with EOS’s Acceptable Use Policy.
- Equipment Purchase Transactions
Where Customer is purchasing equipment (“Equipment”) from EOS, Customer represents and warrants that it is purchasing the Equipment for its own account and not for resale, and that it will not, absent EOS’s prior written consent, resell any of the Equipment. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prohibit Customer from reselling Equipment to any of its affiliates. For purposes of these Terms, the term “affiliate” shall mean any entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the subject entity. “Control,” for purposes of this definition, means direct or indirect ownership or control of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting interests of the subject entity.
Customer shall be responsible for arranging for the installation and operation of the Equipment and for paying all of the costs thereof. At Customer’s request, EOS may provide the names and contact information of one or more EOS-approved installers of Equipment; provided that, in providing such information EOS makes no representation or warranty of any kind, nor does it undertake any liability, with respect to or regarding the quality of any installation or other services performed by any such installer. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY AGREED TO IN WRITING, EOS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR, THE QUALITY OF ANY INSTALLATION SERVICES OR ANY CLAIM IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR RESULTING FROM SUCH SERVICES.
Operation. Customer expressly agrees that as long as the unit is connected to the EPS Network and visible on the EOS maps and mobile application, Customer will ensure the Equipment is functioning properly and available to the public 24/7, excluding permissible down time for maintenance. Should the Equipment be unavailable to the public for charging for a period of three (3) days or longer and Customer does not certify in writing to EOS that the issues with the equipment are being rectified then Customer expressly grants EOS a limited license for EOS, its employees, agents, and vendors to enter upon the Deployment Location at any time (and to the extent possible, with 24 hour notice to Customer), for the specific purposes of inspecting, servicing, and maintaining the Equipment. Customer shall not interfere with EOS’s services, maintenance, or data collection from the Equipment.
Returns. Customer shall have five (5) business days from receipt of the Equipment to return unopened and unused items (with all packaging intact) to EOS. All items not returned by Customer within such five (5) business-day period shall not be returnable. EOS shall return any and all prepaid amounts with respect to the returned items. The determination as to whether any returned items were unused, unopened and intact, pursuant to the terms and conditions herein, shall be solely within EOS’s discretion.
Customer Obligations. Customer shall, at its sole cost and expense, take all actions necessary to maintain the Deployment Locations in a clean, safe, and orderly condition including, without limitation, parking lot sweeping, parking lot snow removal, parking lot repaving and restriping, and maintenance and repair of curbs, gutters and landscaping features. In addition, Customer shall take reasonable precautions to protect the EOS Station from graffiti and other vandalism. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer shall be under no obligation to maintain the EOS Station, signage or any other equipment installed by EOS at a Deployment Location.
- Intellectual Property.
As used in these Terms and Conditions, “Intellectual Property” means all
copyrights, patents, trademarks and service marks, names, logos,
designs, domain names, generic Top-Level Domain names, all registrations
for copyrights, patents, trademarks and service marks/names, domain
names, generic Top-Level Domain names, trade secrets, know-how, and all
unique concepts, information, data and knowledge that is eligible for
legal protection under applicable laws as intellectual property, whether
protected through confidentiality, registration or pending

obtained orally, through observation, through the discharge of
responsibilities under the Proposal and these Terms and Conditions, or
through analysis of that information, data or knowledge.
EOS Intellectual Property. The parties agree that, as between them, EOS has and retains ownership of all of EOS’s Intellectual Property, and Customer has no right, and shall not obtain any right, in any EOS Intellectual Property.
Drawings and Other Documents. All documents prepared by or under the direction of EOS pursuant to transactions with the Customer including, without limitation, drawings, specifications, and other documents, including those in electronic format, are solely and exclusively EOS Intellectual Property, and EOS retains all common law, statutory and other reserved rights, including the copyright.
Publicity. EOS may make general press releases and statements, hold press conferences, both through traditional and electronic media, including websites and mobile applications created by or for EOS or other third parties, regarding the Customer’s purchase of the Products, provided that Customer shall have the ability to review and approve in advance any such public statements and any use of the Customer’s Intellectual Property in connection therewith, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Customer agrees to allow EOS to name Customer as a customer of EOS in EOS’s marketing materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, EOS may advise mapping services of the existence of the EOS Stations at Customer locations so that such services may include such information in connection with their mapping services; and EOS may disclose to the public information about the location of the EOS Stations and the progress of its construction as required by governmental authorities.
