1. Agreement to License Required to Access Teleporte
Teleporte is a digital system that, among other things, enables Customer to facilitate, control and log the access by End Users through Access Points. It requires: a) Access Points; b) the Teleporte Service; and c) the Teleporte Mobile App that when installed on Mobile Devices allows digital keys to authenticate and enable proximity-based communication with Access Points; (collectively “Teleporte”). Access Devices may only be used in the countries set out in the applicable agreement, quote or proforma invoice for those Access Devices. Since Customer will want other individuals to be able to gain entry through Access Points, to facilitate this use, and to protect Teleporte and other Teleporte customers, each of Customer and its Authorized Users must agree to this License. The entity that sold the Access Device to Customer is referred to as “Seller” herein, even though Software is licensed and not sold.
2. Authorized Users
Customer shall have one initial administrator account and shall designate one individual as its primary Administrator (“Primary Administrator”). Customer may also designate other individuals as Administrators and/or authorize the Primary Administrator to do so. Sera4 has no responsibility to ensure appropriate individuals are designated as Authorized Users. Customer is responsible to ensure that individuals designated as Administrators and End Users are vetted in a manner commensurate with the security requirements for the particular Entry Point(s) to which they grant or are granted access, and to ensure that only individuals intended to be designated as Authorized End Users are so designated, and to immediately confirm that this remains the case at the expiration of any permitted trial, proof of concept, or beta of Teleporte. A list of the then current Administrators shall be provided to Sera4 at any time upon request by Sera4.
3. Administrator License Grant
If you have been designated as an Administrator, then for so long as you continue to be a designated Administrator, you are hereby granted the non-exclusive, terminable right to use the Teleporte Service to among other things establish user accounts for individual End Users and to remotely issue, manage and cancel encrypted digital keys for Access Points for those End Users in accordance with Customer instructions and to log the use of these digital keys and the location of the Access Points and the End User Mobile Devices. Administrator has the right to use these features and any other features of the Teleporte Service in accordance with Customer’s instructions solely in accordance with applicable laws and this License. Without limiting the foregoing, Access Points must be established using Access Devices purchased by Customer for authorized use in the country in which the Entry Point is located.
4. End User License Grant
If you have been designated as an End User, then, for so long as you continue to be a designated End User, you are hereby granted the non-exclusive, terminable right to download, install and use the Sera4 mobile application on your Mobile Device and to use any digital keys issued to you on your Mobile Device(s) solely to gain access to critical infrastructure, equipment or other assets or locations, through the authorized Access Points in accordance with the terms of the License, applicable laws, and the limited permissions granted by an Administrator(s) for the period for which the key for that Access Point has been issued.
5. Conditions on License Grants
The foregoing license grants are the sole rights granted under this License, and all other rights are reserved by Sera4. These license grants are subject to Customer being up to date on the payment of any applicable fees for the Teleporte Service, and the license granted any particular Authorized User may be terminated by Sera4 at any time without notice. For avoidance of doubt, Sera4 shall have no responsibility whatsoever for third-party device or infrastructure, including without limitation for; i) any cellular network fees incurred by Customer or an Authorized User; ii) the performance or non-performance of any Mobile Devices. Without limiting the foregoing, Authorized Users are responsible to ensure that the batteries for their Mobile Devices are adequately charged. The Teleporte Service performance may also be temporarily interrupted due to changes or maintenance. Sera4 shall use reasonable commercial efforts to provide prior notice to Customer where the Teleporte Service interruptions are planned in advance and have material impact on the Customer or Authorized Users.
6. Right to Establish Access Points
Customer hereby represents, warrants and covenants that it has all rights necessary to establish and use Access Points at the Entry Points and shall indemnify Sera4 against any claim that it does not have these rights and for any damages, losses and expenses that Sera4 incurs as a result of such a claim. Customer hereby authorizes Sera4 to disclose the contact information for the Administrator for a particular Access Point(s) to any person wishing to gain access to that Access Point. Further, Sera4 may permit access to an Access Point to any person if it is legally required to do so, has the right, but not the obligation to permit a person access to an Access Point if it has a reasonable basis to believe that damage to person, property, or a third-party business may result if it does not do so. Customer shall have no recourse against Sera4 for access authorized under this provision.
7. Restrictions on Use
Neither Customer nor any Authorized User will knowingly, after making such inquiries as a reasonable person in Customer’s or an Authorized User’s position would undertake, use or permit others to use Teleporte or any portion thereof in isolation or with any other software, hardware, digital product, or data in a manner that in Sera4’s judgment, acting reasonably, interferes with, degrades or adversely affects any software, hardware, system, or data used by any person including Sera4 or its partners or otherwise has a detrimental effect upon Sera4, its partners, or any of their respective customers or products or services, and Customer will immediately cease or cause any such activity to cease upon Sera4 delivering notice of same to Customer.

9. Confidentiality

These restrictions shall apply for three years following the expiry or termination of this License, and in the case of trade secrets shall apply for so long as the Confidential Information in question remains a trade secret. Without limiting the foregoing, Administrators are responsible for maintaining all confidentiality of End User data to which they have access. Authorized Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their username and passwords (“Credentials”). Each Authorized User is jointly and severally responsible with Customer for any use of Teleporte that occurs under their username and password. Customer and all Authorized Users agree to notify Sera4 immediately of any breach of security, including without limitation if: (i) a Mobile Device with digital key(s) or Credentials is lost, stolen or broken; ii) Credentials are otherwise lost or stolen; or iii) they become aware of any unauthorized use of Teleporte or any Credentials.
10. No Reverse Engineering
Neither Customer nor any Authorized User shall alter, modify, adapt, create derivative works, deface, disassemble, or Reverse Engineer Teleporte or any portion thereof, or attempt to do so, or permit, acquiesce, authorize or encourage any other person to do so.

11. Teleporte Service and Software Support
If the Teleporte Service or Software (other than Software embedded in Hardware) fails to operate in accordance with its Documentation and Customer is up to date on its payments for the Teleporte Service and has had an Administrator trained in tier-1 and tier-2 support confirm that the issue does not fall within tier-1 and tier-2 support and is not caused by a Mobile Device or Customer infrastructure, Authorized Users shall provide notice of the issue to Customer and Customer shall provide notice of the issue to Sera4 using the support contact information provided by Sera4, and Sera4 shall use reasonable commercial efforts to resolve the issue. Customer is entitled to the level of Teleporte Service offering for which it has paid the annual fee, unless this level provides otherwise, Customer may not be entitled to any new developments or functionality (i.e., upgrade) in Teleporte unless Customer purchases the upgrade. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sera4 reserves the right to require Customer after reasonable notice from Sera4, to use an upgrade to Teleporte if Sera4 has a commercially reasonable purpose in doing so.
12. Intellectual Property and Feedback

For avoidance of doubt, Sera4 shall own all rights, title and interest and all intellectual property rights in or to any subject matter (including without limitation, any technology or data) created, developed or contributed by Sera4 hereunder or generated by the use of Teleporte. Customer agrees to provide Sera4 with feedback on Teleporte and any portion thereof, and on any beta testing of new functionality or products and services, as reasonably requested by Sera4 and hereby agrees that Sera4 shall own all such feedback, including any associated intellectual property rights. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the knowledge it has about secure access systems is based in large part on its access to Teleporte, and Customer shall not take any steps or threaten to take any steps, directly or indirectly through some other person, to prevent Sera4 from further developing Teleporte or any portion thereof, in any manner whatsoever, or to prevent Sera4, its distributors, resellers, value added resellers, technology partners or integrators (collectively “Partners”) from distributing such developments or from their respective customers using such developments whether Customer develops or implements such further developments prior to Sera4 doing so or not.
