9. YOUR EQUIPMENT DATA. We claim no ownership of any equipment data that you generate and associate with our devices installed in or on your particular equipment (“Individual Equipment Data”) and which you transmit or process using our Products. We will process and transmit Individual Equipment Data to provide, maintain and improve our Products and perform obligations under this Agreement and applicable law. In furtherance of such purposes, based on certain non-position data elements in your equipment database (such as equipment serial number), from time to time in certain jurisdictions we may query, on a confidential basis, databases maintained by reputable third party providers for additional information.
10. AGGREGATED DATA. 3C Telemetry compiles, stores and uses aggregated data and system usage information to monitor and improve the Products and for the creation of new products. The aggregated data that we use in this manner is no longer associated with a device and as such is not Individual Equipment Data. 3C Telemetry will not attempt to disaggregate the data or re-associate it with a device without your consent or unless legally compelled to do so or unless required for safety or troubleshooting purposes.
11. FEEDBACK. You understand and agree that any feedback, input, suggestions, recommendations, troubleshooting information or other similar information that you provide or which is made available to us (whether directly or through a reseller including in the course of utilizing support, maintenance or other services) may be used by us to modify, enhance, maintain and improve our Products and shall become our exclusive property without any obligation or payment to you or to any of your customers whatsoever.
12. OUR LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY. We warrant that during the Warranty Period each Product (excluding beta products obtained through the 3C Telemetry beta program, and excluding other test or demonstration products or product versions) will perform in accordance with the written specifications that we issue with respect to such Product, subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in our specifications and this Agreement, when used in accordance with our documentation and specifications. “Warranty Period” means the one year period commencing on the activation date. Provided you properly complete and we receive from you, directly or through an authorized reseller, a justified written warranty claim and, if applicable, all affected devices (returned at your expense to the reseller from whom you purchased the devices or as otherwise specified by us), prior to the expiration of the Warranty Period, we will either repair or replace such device or use commercially reasonable efforts to correct any material defects in software and services. We reserve the right to replace any device and software with a more current version or model or refurbished device units in our sole discretion. We also reserve the right to charge you return shipping and a reasonable service fee if we determine that your warranty claim was not justified. The remaining Warranty Period for any purchased Products we repair or replace under warranty is deemed to be the greater of: (aa) the actual remaining Warranty Period for the replaced or repaired Product; and (bb) 90 days following the completion of such repair or replacement. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the foregoing constitutes your sole and exclusive remedy and our sole and exclusive obligation for any breach of the foregoing warranty.
13. CONDITIONS AND EXCLUSIONS. Warranty claims must be submitted promptly after the date when you noticed the defect. In order to make a warranty claim, you may be required to prove that the installation did not cause the defects or failures of the Product, unless the installation was performed by a 3C Telemetry-certified installer. Any products, services or items made or supplied by third parties (including equipment tracked with our Products) are not covered by our limited warranty and we are not responsible for malfunctions by or in such products, services or items. You may need to purchase, license or procure products, software, data or services from third parties to enable the full use or functionality of our Products. You are responsible for ensuring that all such third party products, software, data or services meet our minimum requirements, including without limitation, processing speed, memory, client software, internet access, internet or other communication channel bandwidth.

Improper installation can lead to short circuits and the risk of fire, leading to personal injury or significant damage to your equipment. Installation or servicing may also require modifications to your equipment. Failure to comply with procedures specified in the installation instructions for a Product, or attempting to install our Products without adequate knowledge of our Products, proper installation, configuration, servicing, repair or removal procedures, or your equipment, may result in damage to the Product or your equipment, which may cause malfunctions of equipment controls or equipment environmental systems and result in personal injury. You understand that any such activities not performed by an authorized 3C Telemetry reseller or installer will be at your sole risk. You also agree to comply with any safety-related instructions communicated to you by 3C Telemetry, including removing the Product from your equipment if 3C Telemetry determines your equipment is not suitable for the use of the Products. You hereby release and forever discharge, and will indemnify and hold harmless, us, our affiliates, resellers and agents and their directors, officers, employees and representatives from any and all losses, actions, causes of action, liability, claims, demands, penalties, costs, expenses (including legal fees and disbursements on a full indemnity basis), judgments and damages of any nature or kind whatsoever, whether under contract, tort, or any other theory of law or equity, which you or any other third party has or will have, arising or accruing from, as a result of, in relation to, or in connection with, same.
