Control4 owns and operates this website and other websites of Control4-owned brands; e.g., Pakedge®, Triad® (the "Website"), and provides access to certain internet and software application services related to the use of Control4 Systems and Control4-owned brands (the "Services").
These Terms of Use, together with the Control4 privacy policy, located at www.control4.com/legal/privacy-policy ("Privacy Policy"), form a binding legal agreement between you and Control4 (the "Agreement") that sets forth the terms and conditions under which Control4 agrees to make the Website and the Services available to you and which govern your use of the Website and the Services provided to you.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Control4 End User License Agreement between you and Control4 (the "EULA") sets forth the terms and conditions that apply to your use of any Software, and the Control4 Limited Warranty provided with your Hardware (the "Warranty") sets forth the terms of the limited warranty that applies to the Hardware.

6. Subscription Fees and Payment; Taxes
(a) Subscription Fees. Access to the Services is provided on a subscription basis and requires the payment of a subscription fee ("Subscription Fee"). You agree to pay any applicable Subscription Fee charged by Control4 in advance. Initial subscriptions are for a period of one (1) year following the activation of your account. If for any reason you need to reactivate a subscription, you may be charged a reactivation fee. If you register for the Services under a promotional Subscription Fee, some additional restrictions and limitations may apply.

If you choose a subscription option with recurring payments, you agree that Control4 may automatically charge the subscription fee to your credit or charge card at the beginning of each billing period. Control4 reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Services without notifying you upon rejection of any credit card charges or if your card issuer (or its agent or affiliate) seeks return of payments previously made to Control4 for the Services. Such rights are in addition to and not in lieu of any other legal right or remedies available to Control4. Control4 reserves the right to refer your account to a third party for collection in the event of an ongoing default, and you agree to reimburse Control4 for any costs incurred by Control4 in the collection of amounts that are past due, including for any reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs.
(c) Changes in Subscription Fees. Control4 may, in its sole discretion, change fees from time to time and charge additional fees for any features and functionalities that are not a part of the initial Services covered by a Subscription Fee.

(d) Taxes. The amounts payable by you to Control4 hereunder are exclusive of any applicable sales, use, value added, excise or similar taxes that may apply to the transactions contemplated hereunder. Any such taxes shall be your responsibility and you agree to pay to Control4 any such taxes that Control4 is required to collect under applicable law.

Control4 is not responsible for and does not make any assurances about the availability or functionality of any broadband Internet connection. Network protection for your Internet connection is strongly advised to protect your Control4 System against viruses and other types of harm. You are responsible for any service charges for your Internet connection incurred as a result of using or accessing the Website and/or the Services and acknowledge and agree that you shall be solely responsible for all disputes with any Internet service provider related to the same.

9. Dealers Are Independent Contractors, Not Agents of Control4
You are required to purchase your Control4 System from an authorized Control4 dealer or distributor ("Dealer") in your area of your choice. While such Dealers receive training regarding Control4 Systems, Dealers are independent contractors and service providers, and not employees or agents of Control4. Accordingly, (i) Control4 makes no representations or warranties with respect to Dealers or their services and is in no way responsible for their acts or omissions, and (ii) Dealers have no right to bind Control4 legally or otherwise make commitments on behalf of Control4. You are solely responsible to select a competent Dealer that meets your expectations. Such Dealer may offer additional installation, configuration or ongoing maintenance services. Any disputes, which may arise between you and your Dealer, are to be resolved between you and your Dealer.
10. Term and Termination
These Terms will remain in full force and effect so long as you continue to use or access the Website and/or the Services, or until terminated in accordance with the provisions of this section. You may terminate your account and your right to use the Services for any reason, at any time. Your access to the Services and your account will be terminated upon your written or emailed request and any unused Subscription Fees that you have paid are nonrefundable. At any time Control4 may suspend or terminate your rights to use the Services, if Control4 in good faith believes that you have used the Services in violation of this Agreement. If you transfer or assign your Control4 System or any portion thereof to a new owner, your right to use the Services with respect to such products automatically terminates, and the new owner will have no right to use the Services under your account (as described below), and will be required to register for a separate account with Control4. In addition, Control4 reserves the right to terminate your Services account and this Agreement for any reason or no reason, if Control4 gives you at least thirty (30) days advance notice of such termination. Upon any such termination of your account by Control4, you will remain obligated to pay all outstanding fees and charges relating to your use of the Services prior to termination, but Control4 will return any unused Subscription Fees that you have paid if Your account is terminated for any reason other than Your breach of this Agreement.
11. Ownership
You acknowledge that all right title and interest in and to the Services, including all intellectual property rights therein and thereto, remain the exclusive property of Control4 and its licensors, and this Agreement grants to you no right or interest therein other than the limited rights expressly set forth herein, and Control4 and its licensors and suppliers reserve all rights not granted in this Agreement.
12. Your Indemnification of Control4
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Control4, and its officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, and other representatives, from and against any and all suits, claims, actions, proceedings, damages, demands, injuries, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), arising from or related to: (a) your negligence or willful misconduct; (b) your use of the Services; (c) your breach of any of your representations, warranties, obligations, or covenants in this Agreement; and (d) your use of Third-Party Content.

FURTHER, CONTROL4 DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE OR THE SERVICES OR THE CONTROL4 SERVERS THAT PROVIDE YOU WITH DATA AND CONTENT ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK WITH RESPECT TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. FURTHERMORE, CONTROL4 MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PERFORMED BY ANY CONTROL4 DEALERS.
14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IN NO EVENT WILL CONTROL4 OR ANY OF ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY: (A) SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO CONTROL4'S PERFORMANCE OR FAILURE TO PERFORM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE AND/OR THE SERVICES, OR THE OPERATION OR USE OF THE SERVICES OR YOUR CONTROL4 SYSTEM THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT BY ANYONE ELSE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES ARISING FROM LOSS OF DATA, PROGRAMMING OR THIRD PARTY CONTENT, LOSS OF REVENUE OR PROFITS, OR FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION; (B) FAILURE TO REALIZE SAVINGS OR OTHER BENEFITS, DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT, AND CLAIMS AGAINST YOU BY ANY THIRD PERSON; (C) DAMAGES (REGARDLESS OF THEIR NATURE) FOR ANY DELAY OR FAILURE BY CONTROL4 TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DUE TO ANY CAUSE BEYOND CONTROL4'S REASONABLE CONTROL; OR (D) CLAIMS MADE A SUBJECT OF A LEGAL PROCEEDING AGAINST CONTROL4 MORE THAN ONE YEAR AFTER ANY SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION FIRST AROSE. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, CONTROL4'S AND ITS SUPPLIERS' TOTAL, CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE AND/OR THE SERVICES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO CONTROL4 OR CONTROL4'S AUTHORIZED RESELLER FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. YOU AGREE THAT THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 14 APPLY WHETHER A CLAIM IS ALLEGED AS A BREACH OF CONTRACT OR TORTIOUS CONDUCT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. YOU ALSO AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY ARE A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF THE RISK BETWEEN THE PARTIES, FORM A MATERIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND WILL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY PROVIDED TO YOU FAILS IN ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
15. Exclusions
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This Agreement gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability under this Agreement will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

This Agreement and any claims arising hereunder will be governed by the laws of the State of Utah, excluding principles of conflict or choice of law.
