Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Knightscope, Inc. (“Knightscope”, “we,” or “us”), our security technology equipment (“Equipment”) and this internet-based user interface for our Equipment (“Interface”) (together, the “Services”). These Terms of Service are a legally binding contract between you and Knightscope regarding your use of the Interface. These Terms of Service are hereby incorporated by reference into and subject to the Machine-As-A-Service Subscription Agreement or any other agreement executed by you and Knightscope regarding the Equipment provided to you (the “MaaS Agreement”).

These Terms of Service provide that all disputes between you and Knightscope under these Terms will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under these Terms (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT A JUDGE OR JURY and your claims cannot be brought as a class action. Please review the arbitration terms below for the details regarding your agreement to arbitrate any such disputes with Knightscope.

1. Eligibility. You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to use the Interface. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age and that your registration and your use of the Interface is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations. If you are using the Interface on behalf of an entity, organization, or company, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind such organization to these Terms and you agree to be bound by these Terms on behalf of such organization, and that such organization has a current MaaS Agreement with Knightscope.
2. Accounts and Registration. To access most features of the Interface, you must register for an account. When you register for an account, you may be required to provide us with some information about yourself (such as your e-mail address or other contact information). You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate and that you will keep it accurate and up-to-date at all times. When you register, you will be asked to provide a password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password. You agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure, then you must immediately notify us at contact@knightscope.com
3. Payment. There will be no separate fees required to access the Interface other than those for the Services set forth in the MaaS Order Form.
4. “Confidential Information” means any and all information disclosed by either party to the other that is in written, graphic, machine-readable, or other tangible form and is marked “Confidential” or “Proprietary” or in some other manner to indicate its confidential nature.  Confidential Information may also include oral disclosures provided that such information is designated as confidential at the time of disclosure and reduced to a written summary by the disclosing party within 30 days after its oral disclosure, which is marked in a manner to indicate its confidential nature and delivered to the receiving party.  The receiving party agrees: (i) to use the disclosing party’s Confidential Information solely in accordance with the provisions of these Terms; and (ii) not to disclose, or permit to be disclosed, either directly or indirectly, the disclosing party’s Confidential Information to any third party without the disclosing party’s prior written consent.  The receiving party shall safeguard the disclosing party’s Confidential Information using the same measures it uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event shall either party use less than reasonable care in safeguarding the Confidential Information of the other party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information that is: (a) publicly available through no fault of the receiving party, (b) rightfully obtained from third parties not under confidentiality restrictions, (c) already known by the receiving party at the time of disclosure by the disclosing party, or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party without use or reference to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information.  The receiving party may disclose the disclosing party’s Confidential Information as may be required by law, a court order, or a governmental agency with jurisdiction, provided that before making such a disclosure, the receiving party will first notify the disclosing party to give the disclosing party an opportunity to limit such disclosure or seek a protective order.  Upon the disclosing party’s written request, or upon expiration or termination of these Terms, the receiving party shall return to the disclosing party all originals and all reproductions and copies of all Confidential Information of the disclosing party, and delete all Confidential Information from its electronic records and shall certify to the disclosing party that it has done so, in a writing signed by an officer of the receiving party; notwithstanding the forgoing, the receiving party may retain a copy of those records necessary to establish rights of payment, or which must be retained to satisfy reporting or legal obligations, provided that such archival copy is kept confidential until destroyed.  If either party breaches, or threatens to breach the provisions of this Section 4, each party agrees that the non-breaching party will have no adequate remedy at law and is therefore entitled to immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without bond and without the necessity of showing actual money damages.
5. You shall solely own all rights, title and interest in or to the surveillance audio and video, and other incident reporting data recorded by the Equipment during deployment at your premises (“Content Data”).  Knightscope may use the Content Data solely to provide the Services to you and to debug, improve and enhance the Services or to assist you in forensics analysis if requested to do so by you.  Except for any Content Data, Knightscope shall solely own all rights, title and interest in or to all other data collected or generated by the Equipment and Interface.  All Content Data shall be available to you for download through the Interface for a period of two (2) weeks from the date such Content Data was recorded unless otherwise stipulated in the MaaS Order Form.  Unless otherwise agreed between the parties in writing, Knightscope shall have no further obligation to maintain any Content Data in its databases or forward it to you or any third party, and may, in its sole discretion, irrevocably delete any Content Data from its databases following such two (2) weeks period.  Upon any termination or expiration of these Terms, all Content Data may be irrevocably deleted by Knightscope, and you are solely responsible for downloading copies thereof before the termination or expiration hereof; provided, however, that Knightscope may retain and make certain Content Data available to you after the termination of these Terms upon the parties’ agreement for a retention fee with respect thereto.
