  2. Payment Terms: Customer is responsible for paying in full all costs, fees, and taxes stated in the Agreement within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the invoice. If payments are not made within thirty days of the date stated in the invoice, Customer will be responsible for a late fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the outstanding balance, or $20.00, whichever is greater.

  3. Use & Ownership Rights: FloWater owns and retains all rights, title, and interest in the Equipment. Customer has only a limited license to use the Equipment for commercial purposes as a water refill station pursuant to this Agreement. Customer has no right to use the Equipment for any other purposes, and has no right to use or otherwise infringe upon any of the intellectual property associated with the Equipment, which remains the sole property of FloWater, and has no right to sell or encumber or place liens on the Equipment. Customer agrees to indemnify FloWater for any damages caused by Customer’s use of the equipment for any purposes in violation of this Agreement. Customer grants FloWater (and its successors/assigns) authorization to sign and file UCC financing statements. Customer shall not make any alterations, additions, or modifications to the Equipment, including branding or other signage, without prior written consent of FloWater. All Equipment relocation must be performed by FloWater, or an authorized agent, and will be subject to a relocation fee that will vary depending on location of the Equipment. Customer will use best efforts to ensure the space in front of and around the Equipment is easily accessible and free of debris and other items that may interfere with the visibility or utility of the Equipment. Proper ventilation, and therefore proper functionality, is dependent upon the specified space requirements around the Equipment.
  4. Maintenance and Repairs: To ensure proper functioning of the Equipment, its full set of filters must be replaced at least every twelve months (or sooner if filter notification indicates) and Customer’s use must comply with the intended use of the Equipment as a water refilling station. FloWater is responsible for ensuring the functionality of the Equipment throughout the duration of this Agreement without any additional charge to Customer, but for the exceptions provided herein.  At the conclusion of the term of the Agreement, if Customer renews for another term, then FloWater will continue to service warranty qualifying issues of the equipment free of charge; but if Customer proceeds on a month-to-month basis, then Customer will be responsible for the costs for all service to the equipment.  FloWater may, in its own discretion, schedule and service the Equipment at intervals required to meet the manufacturer’s specifications and such services will be invoiced at customary rates pursuant to this Agreement. In the event of a failure or malfunction of the Equipment, Customer shall immediately notify FloWater. FloWater will, within a commercially reasonable period of time after receiving notice, send a representative or an authorized agent to perform a diagnosis and/or repair the Equipment. If the malfunction was caused by Customer’s negligence or improper use of the Equipment including failing to have the filter replaced every twelve months (or sooner if notification indicates) or exposing the Equipment to rodents or inclement weather such as wind or rain, or if something other than water is poured down the Equipment’s drain, or vandalism, or if the malfunction was caused by an intervening cause not related to a defect in the Equipment nor associated with its normal use, then Customer shall be responsible for the costs of repair at current market pricing for labor (with a one-hour minimum) plus parts. Depending on the location of the Equipment, FloWater reserves the right to charge a deployment fee for labor services. Otherwise FloWater will be responsible for the repairs of the Equipment.
  5.
