Conditions PhySaaS, Inc. Terms of Service
1) Application of Terms of Service: These Terms of Service are incorporated by reference in the Agreements between PhySaaS, Inc. (“PHYSAAS”) and Customer (“Customer”) whenever an Agreement incorporating the Terms of Service is effective. In addition, they are incorporated by reference in Addenda between PHYSAAS and Customer. Whenever PHYSAAS makes a change in these Terms of Service, the date the change is posted on this website will be noted, and the change will become effective 30 days from such date.
2) Services: PHYSAAS agrees to provide Customer the services described in each Service Order Addendum (“SOA”) and/or Statement of Work (“SOW”), collectively the (“Agreement”). Any changes to the Agreement must be made in writing and signed by both parties. Services provided under any SOA or SOW shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. Terms and Conditions may be modified from time to time. PHYSAAS reserves the right, in its sole reasonable discretion, to reject any SOA or SOW prior to PHYSAAS’s signature. The Agreement is fully binding and enforceable as of the date the SOA or SOW is/are signed by both parties.
3) Term Commitment: Customer shall utilize PHYSAAS service(s) as specified in each SOA or SOW for the duration of the term(s) specified in the associated SOA for such services. The term of any SOA will commence on the service start date. The service start date shall mean the date when PHYSAAS tests and initiates the service associated with a SOA and notifies the Customer that service has been initiated. On the service start date, PHYSAAS will begin billing Customer for such services. The initial term of services provided pursuant to each SOA will automatically renew for successive one (1) year periods unless Customer notifies PHYSAAS in writing of Customer’s desire not to renew at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then current term. During the term of service any change orders or additional services added will have a Minimum Period of 12 Months for Hardware and all licenses will be prorated and co-terminus.
4) Termination without Cause: Following expiration of any applicable Term or Minimum Period, either party to an Agreement may terminate any service with sixty (60) days prior written notice. In the event Customer terminates or discontinues any service provided under a term plan with PHYSAAS prior to the expiration of the then-current term or Minimum Period, Customer shall pay PHYSAAS within 90 days of termination or discontinuance: (1) the monthly recurring charges multiplied by the number of months remaining in the service term or Minimum Period and (2) any previously waived installation and special promotional credits given, in one lump sum (collectively, the “Early Termination Fee”). Customer acknowledges that PHYSAAS’s damages for early termination would be difficult to determine and the termination charge(s) constitutes liquidated damages and are not intended as a penalty but as a mutually agreed upon amount representing, but not limited to, lost revenue, proportionate or actual third-party costs and capital expenditures, and internal costs. All such amounts will become due and payable by Customer to PHYSAAS within 15 days of receipt of PHYSAAS’s invoice for the Early Termination Fee.
5) Termination for Cause: Customer shall be in default of an Agreement if (a) Customer fails to pay any undisputed amount due hereunder within thirty (30) days of the payment due date; (b) Customer provides inaccurate, false or otherwise misleading information in its application for service; (c) Customer utilizes PHYSAAS’s services for any unlawful purpose or for any other purpose than that for which the service is intended.
6) Term Expiration: Upon expiration of the Term or Minimum Period and final payment has been received for service, Customer will assume ownership of all Hardware associated with Agreement. Customer must notify PHYSAAS within 90 days of expiration to renew licenses and support or to cancel service. Failure to provide 90 days’ notice could result in expired licenses and loss of service.
7) Order Cancellation: Customer shall pay an order cancellation fee (a minimum of $250.00 or equivalent to the actual cost of equipment and installation, whichever is greater) should the Customer initiate the cancellation of Customer’s service order associated with a particular SOA & SOW prior to test and turn up of the service, to compensate PHYSAAS for the time, money and resources spent to prepare and procure Customer’s service order request associated with a particular SOA.
8) Payments: Customer shall pay all service charges and fees as set forth in each SOA, including, but not limited to, nonrecurring incidental charges (such as charges associated with installation, line maintenance, expedites, moves, adds, changes, deletions, and cancellations), equipment purchases, surcharges, regulatory fees, taxes, and other charges required by law. Charges for maintenance and repair shall be billed to the Customer pursuant to the PHYSAAS Maintenance and Repair Fee outlined, Section 28 below. Customer shall pay all service charges promptly upon the completion of installation for each specified service associated with each SOA. For self/customer installation billing term starts on product shipment date. For the avoidance of any doubt, for installations associated with a service provided under a SOA and SOW that includes multiple locations or an installation process that is phased in over a period of time, Customer shall pay service charges promptly upon the completion of each installation for each specified service associated with each SOA at each particular location or the conclusion of each phase of the installation process, whichever is earlier. Additional fees for changes may apply to changes in the service order associated with a particular SOA that is requested by the Customer after the Agreement is signed. Upon the Customer’s receipt of a PHYSAAS invoice, all payments associated with the PHYSAAS invoice shall be due and the Customer shall pay such amounts. Customer shall be liable for all charges associated with the use of PHYSAAS’s services, including charges that result from theft, abuse, or misuse, as well as fraudulent, and/or unauthorized use of such service. All Customer payments to PHYSAAS shall be in U.S. currency.
9) Billing Disputes:
a) Customer shall undertake a reasonably good faith effort to review each invoice received from PHYSAAS under the Agreement on or before the payment due date to determine whether there are any amounts it disputes (“Disputed Amounts”). Customer shall pay on or before the payment due date all undisputed amounts. If any portion of an amount invoiced to Customer under the Agreement is subject to a good faith dispute between the Parties, Customer shall give written notice, with all supporting documentation, to PHYSAAS of the Disputed Amounts through the PHYSAAS claims submission process and include in such notice the specific details and reasons for disputing each item. Customers can email PHYSAAS at billing@PhySaaS.com with dispute information and a billing dispute ticket number will be sent back within two (2) business days. Once the billing ticket has been issued, PHYSAAS will respond to the dispute within five (5) business days. PHYSAAS shall undertake a reasonably good faith effort to review Customer’s disputes within thirty (30) days of the date we issue a billing dispute ticket number. Billing disputes shall also be subject to the terms of Section 10, below:
b) Should PHYSAAS deny a dispute, Customer shall have ten (10) business days by which either to pay the Disputed Amounts or to escalate the dispute to the level of the PHYSAAS Chief Revenue Officer. Customer’s failure to utilize the escalation process in this Section 9.b. shall operate as a waiver of Customer’s right to pursue any further relief with respect to the Billing Dispute. PHYSAAS shall undertake a reasonable good faith effort to review Customer’s disputes within thirty (30) days of the date of the submission.
c) If Customer fails to provide PHYSAAS with written notice of its dispute of a rate or charge within 90 days following the invoice date on which the rate or charge appeared, adjustment will be made on a going-forward basis only, beginning with the date the dispute was received by PHYSAAS.
10) Dispute Resolution by Arbitration:
a) Disputes that arise on or after the Effective Date of the Agreement and that arise out of or relate to services provided under the Agreement that are not resolved through the escalation provisions of Section 9.b, above, shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the provisions hereof, which is Customer’s exclusive remedy for the resolution of such disputes. Either Party may demand arbitration by sending a detailed written notice of its claims to the other Party. If Customer does not send written notice of its arbitration demand to PHYSAAS within 30 days of an adverse determination of its Dispute pursuant to Section 9.b. Customer will be deemed to have waived all rights to challenge the adverse determination.
b) Once a demand for arbitration has been made in accordance with Section 10.a., the Parties shall promptly submit the dispute to the American Arbitration Association for resolution by a single neutral arbitrator acceptable to both parties, as selected under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The dispute shall then be administered according to the American Arbitration Association’s Commercial Arbitration Rules, with the following modifications: (i) the arbitration shall be held in The State of Florida; (ii) the arbitrator shall be licensed to practice law; (iii) the arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration as if it were a bench trial and shall use, apply and enforce the Federal Rules of Evidence, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the laws of Florida, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules, including the laws and decisions pertaining to enforcement and interpretation of contracts; (iv) the arbitrator shall have no power or authority to make any award that provides for special, indirect, incidental, consequential, reliance, exemplary, punitive or like damages, including damages for lost revenues, profits or savings or other commercial or economic loss, even if the party whose liability is excluded by this Section has been advised of the possibility of such damages; (v) the arbitrator shall control the scheduling so that the hearing is completed no later than thirty (30) days after the date of the demand for arbitration; and (vi) the arbitrator’s decision shall be given within five (5) days thereafter in summary form that states the award, without written decision, which shall follow the plain meaning of this Agreement, the relevant documents, and the intent of the parties. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties. Each party to the dispute shall bear its own expenses arising out of the arbitration, except that the expenses of the facilities to conduct the arbitration and the fees of the arbitrator shall be shared equally by the Parties.
11) Suspension of Service: Should Customer fail to keep its account current, PHYSAAS has the right to suspend Customer’s service upon (10) days written notice (except as specified by FCC or state regulations, where applicable) and continue billing until sufficient payment has been received to bring Customer’s account current. If the service is suspended due to Customer’s non-payment, PHYSAAS will not restore service until all charges are paid in full. A minimum $100.00 restoration fee will be charged by PHYSAAS. Should Customer fail to pay PHYSAAS all outstanding amounts due within 10 days following suspension, PHYSAAS may disconnect service, reclaim all PHYSAAS hardware, and charge all applicable Early Termination Fees specified in this Agreement.
12) Credit Inquiries/Deposits: Customer authorizes PHYSAAS to inquire into Customer’s credit history, including asking consumer reporting agencies and/or other references for Customer credit information. Notwithstanding any applicable laws or regulations to the contrary, PHYSAAS reserves the right, at its sole discretion and at any time, to (a) refuse to provide the service requested or provisioned under any SOA or (b) require 50% payment of all Installation and one-time charges prior to the scheduling of service installation based on Customer’s credit worthiness.
13) Access to Customer Premises and Equipment: Customer shall provide PHYSAAS with reasonable access to Customer’s premises, internal wiring, and other facilities and equipment to allow PHYSAAS to install, maintain and repair Customer’s service, as reasonable and necessary. With respect to any installation, PHYSAAS reserves the right to bill Customer a $250.00 fee for each missed scheduled appointment date.

Verkada Command Service Level Agreement
Service Levels
Verkada will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Hosted Software available 99.99% or more of the time during any calendar month. Subject to the exclusions set forth below, an “Outage” will be defined as any time when the Hosted Software is not available due to a cause within the control of Verkada. The availability standard does not apply to any feature of the Hosted Software that Verkada identifies as a “beta” feature or service.
Service Credits
If Verkada fails to achieve the availability percentage above, Customer will be eligible to receive a credit (“Service Credit”) calculated as a certain number of days added to the end of the License Term. Service Credits are based on the actual availability of the Hosted Software in a given calendar month as set forth below. Service Credits are non-transferable.

EXHIBIT B
Verkada Alarms Addendum
This “Alarms Addendum” sets forth the terms applicable to Customer’s use of the Monitoring Services (as defined below).
- Certain Definitions.
- “Alarm(s)” means an alarm signal, data, video or audio transmission initiated by the Hardware installed on Customer’s premises signaling a specific type of situation that is transmitted to a Call Center for response via the Hosted Software.
- “Call Center(s)” means a central monitoring station that receives and responds to an Alarm for Customer as more fully set forth below.
- “Call List” means the list of names, with corresponding telephone numbers and email addresses, of those persons in the order Customer wishes to receive notification of Alarms which must be created, and updated by Customer from time to time, via the Hosted Software.
- “First Responder(s)” means the entity (e.g., fire department, police department) that is contacted by the Call Center to respond to an Alarm received at the Call Center.
- “Monitoring Services” means the automated Alarm transmission functionality enabled by the Software that, when triggered, transmits an Alarm to the Call Center for a response, as more fully described in the Documentation. The Monitoring Services are deemed to be a Product under the Agreement.
- Monitoring Services.
- In order to use the Monitoring Services, Customer must: (i) purchase a License for each location at which Monitoring Services will be provided (a “Monitoring License”); and (ii) enable the “Emergency Dispatch” toggle within the Hosted Software, as more fully described in the Documentation.
- For each Alarm transmitted through the Hosted Software, the Call Center will respond in accordance with its internal operating procedures, and only if warranted in the sole discretion of the Call Center. Not all Alarms require notification to First Responders. If the video verification settings are set to ‘Normal Mode’ (as described in the Documentation), the Call Center may not notify the individuals on the Call List if it is unable to determine a threat to person or property, including because Call Center cannot discern a threat from the video provided or it is unable to access video of the trigger event. Once dispatched, the Call Center may be unable to recall First Responders.
- In the event of notification to Customer, the Call Center will call the person(s) named in the Call List, in the order set by Customer. Receipt by Customer of any form of notification provided by the Call Center pursuant to the Call List, is deemed compliance with the notification obligation hereunder, which notice may include SMS or voice mail message.
- If video or audio Alarms are received at the Call Center, the Call Center will monitor such video or sound in accordance with its internal operating procedures, and for so long as the Call Center, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.
- Customer’s Obligations.
- Customer (or a properly licensed installer selected by Customer) is responsible for installation (including the design of such installation), maintenance, service, repair, inspection and testing of the Products. Once installed, it is Customer’s responsibility (or a properly licensed installer selected by Customer) to configure its Products in order to enable the Monitoring Services, including by creating and maintaining appropriate Trigger and Response Actions via the Hosted Software (i.e., by creating an “Alarm Address” within Customer’s account in the Hosted Software and configuring it in Customer’s discretion). Monitoring Services will be provided only if the Hardware Products have been configured to transmit Alarms to the Call Center by means of the foregoing.
- Customer is responsible, at Customer’s sole expense, for supplying all systems, and incidental functionality (e.g., high-speed Internet access, IP Address and or wireless services, all 110 Volt AC power), necessary to operate the Products at Customer’s premises.
- Once delivered, the Hardware Products are in the possession and control of Customer, and it is Customer’s sole responsibility to regularly test the operation of its Products. Verkada does not design installations, install, inspect, maintain, service, repair, or test Products for Customers.
- Customer is responsible for obtaining and maintaining all licenses, registration and permits for the Products and Monitoring Services, including those required by the Customer’s local government, necessary to use the Products as contemplated under this Alarms Addendum in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
- Monitoring Services Exclusions.
- Except for the systems under its control that Verkada uses to make the Hosted Software available, Alarms are transmitted over third party communication networks beyond the control of Verkada and are not maintained by Verkada. Verkada will not be responsible for any failure by such third-party networks which prevents transmission of Alarms from reaching the Call Center or any damages arising therefrom.
- Verkada will have no liability for permit fees, false alarms, false alarm fines, the manner in which First Responders respond, any response delays caused by the First Responders, the failure of First Responders to respond, or the manner in which Alarms are handled by the Call Centers or First Responders.
- Verkada makes no representation that any aspect of the Products meets code requirements or constitute an alarm system, burglar alarm system, fire alarm system, CCTV system, access control system or other electronic security system, as those terms are defined under the applicable laws of the jurisdictions in which Customer uses the Products.
- Verkada is not a Call Center and does not provide the services of a Call Center. Verkada does not respond to an Alarm, notify, or attempt to notify the persons named in the Call List, request dispatch of First Responders, or other agents to Customer’s premises to investigate or verify an Alarm. The portion of the Monitoring Services performed by Verkada is strictly limited to Verkada’s automated signal and data retransmission software, receivers, and related components, routing Alarms generated from the Products at Customer’s premise via a third-party network to a Call Center for response. The Customer is not contracting with Verkada to provide the services of the Call Center. Verkada and the Call Center are independent and unrelated entities, and there is no subcontractor, employer or employee, master or servant, joint venture, partnership, or contractual relationship between them.
- Suspension & Termination. Verkada may, without prior notice, suspend or terminate the Monitoring Services, in Verkada’s sole discretion, in the event of: (a) a Force Majeure Event which renders any aspect of the Monitoring Services inoperable or impractical; (b) Customer defaults in its performance obligations under the Agreement or use of the Products in a manner that violates any applicable law or any third party right of privacy; (c) Call Center’s facilities or communication networks are nonoperational; (d) Customer causes the Products to transmit excessive false alarms, runaway signals, or otherwise unreasonably overburdens either Verkada’s systems or the Call Center’s systems; or (e) Customer fails to provide accurate information within the Call List or fails to properly update the Call List.
- No Representations or Warranties. Verkada makes no representation or warranty, whether express or implied, that the Products including the Monitoring Services will prevent any loss, damage or injury to any person or property, whether by reason of burglary, theft, hold-up, fire or any other cause, or that the Products will in all cases provide the protection for which they are installed or intended. Monitoring Services are not error-free. Verkada is not an insurer, and Customer assumes all risk for loss or damage to Customer’s premises, contents, business interruption, or persons on or around the premises. Customer’s sole remedy for Verkada’s breach of this Exhibit B is to require Verkada to replace the non-operational Products as set forth in Section 3.2 of the Agreement.
THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS WILL NOT APPLY, IF THE GOVERNING LAW WHERE THE CUSTOMER’S PREMISE IS LOCATED PROHIBITS THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES.
- Indemnity. In addition to Section 10.2 of the Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by governing law, Customer will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Verkada Indemnitees from and against any Claim (including reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, fees associated with investigations, or fees or fines relating to permits or false alarms) arising from Customer’s use of the Monitoring Services or its performance, or failure to perform, its obligations under this Exhibit B.
- Exculpatory Clause.
- To the fullest extent permitted by governing law, Verkada will not be liable for any loss or damage sustained by Customer caused or contributed by the performance, or failure of performance, of the Monitoring Services under this Exhibit B, even if caused or contributed by any negligence of any kind or degree of the Call Center, Verkada, or any other third-party, except for Verkada’s gross negligence in states that do not permit the exculpation of liability for gross negligence, recklessness and willful misconduct.
- IN THE EVENT THAT THE EXCULPATORY CLAUSE IS NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER THE GOVERNING LAW WHERE THE CUSTOMER’S PREMISES IS LOCATED, THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY IN SECTION 11 OF THE AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.
- Insurance. Customer must maintain a policy of General Liability and Property Insurance for liability, casualty, fire, theft, and property damage and, upon request, will ensure that Verkada is named as additional insured, and which shall on a primary and non-contributing basis cover any loss or damage related to Customer’s use of the Products. Customer assumes all potential risk and damage that may arise by reason of failure of the Products, and Customer will look to its own insurance carrier for any loss or assume the risk of loss. Verkada will not be responsible for any portion of any loss or damage which is recovered or recoverable by Customer from insurance covering such loss or damage or for such loss or damage against which Customer is indemnified or insured. Customer and all those claiming rights under Customer policies waive all rights against Verkada and its subcontractors for loss or damages caused by perils intended to be detected by the Products or covered by insurance to be obtained by Customer, except such rights as Customer or others may have to the proceeds of insurance.
- Conflict Resolution. In the event of any conflict, discrepancy, or inconsistency between the terms of the Agreement and this Exhibit B, the terms of this Exhibit B will govern and control.
