This Master Service Agreement,
together with any Sales Order Quote, statement of work, service schedule,
policy, end-user license agreement, privacy policy, acceptable use policy, and
any other written or electronic terms incorporated by reference, collectively
forms the agreement between IT Management Corporation, a California corporation
doing business as ARVOS, with its principal place of business located at 3300
Central Expressway, Santa Clara, California 95051, and the customer,
organization, agency, business, or other entity accepting or using the
Services. ARVOS and Customer may each be referred to as a “Party” and
collectively as the “Parties.”
By executing a Sales Order Quote,
submitting a purchase order, paying an invoice, electronically accepting this
Agreement, activating any account, using the Services, allowing Users to use
the Services, or accepting delivery of equipment or devices, Customer
acknowledges that it has read, understands, and agrees to be bound by this
Agreement. If the individual accepting this Agreement does so on behalf of an
organization, that individual represents and warrants that they have authority
to bind such organization.

communication system.
2. Order Documents, SOQs, and
Precedence
Customer
may order
Services through one or more Sales Order Quotes, statements of work, online
order forms, written proposals, or other order documents accepted by ARVOS.
Each accepted order document is incorporated into this Agreement. In the event
of conflict among documents, the applicable Sales Order Quote or statement of
work shall control with respect to pricing, quantities, service term, and
specific commercial terms; this Master Service Agreement shall control with

operational terms; the Privacy Policy shall control with respect to privacy
disclosures; and the End User License Agreement shall control with respect to
end-user application and device-level use.
No purchase order, vendor form,
customer procurement term, handwritten modification, or other document
submitted by Customer shall modify this Agreement unless expressly accepted in
writing by an authorized officer of ARVOS. Any inconsistent or additional terms
in a Customer purchase order or procurement document are rejected and shall
have no effect unless expressly agreed to in writing by ARVOS.
3. Acceptance, Onboarding, and
Initiation of Service
ARVOS has no obligation to begin
onboarding, installation, provisioning, shipment, activation, configuration, or
delivery of Services until ARVOS has received and accepted all required
documents, payments, onboarding information, customer data, site information,
user information, device information, service addresses, emergency addresses,
tax information, and any other information reasonably required to provide the
Services.
Customer shall provide all
permissions, consents, access rights, site access, administrative approvals,
credentials, network information, security approvals, and authorizations
necessary for ARVOS to install, activate, maintain, inspect, support, troubleshoot,
update, repair, replace, manage, or modify the

, software, applications, and related systems. Customer’s
delay in providing required information, access, approvals, or cooperation
shall not delay billing or extend the applicable Term unless ARVOS expressly
agrees in writing.
ARVOS may describe its Services,
products, features, pricing, and availability on its websites, proposals,
applications, marketing materials, or other communications. ARVOS attempts to
keep such information accurate, but does not warrant that descriptions,
availability, specifications, features, pricing, or other content are complete,
current, error-free, or applicable to every Customer environment.
4. Commercial Use and Customer
Responsibility
The Services are provided solely for
Customer’s authorized commercial, governmental, educational, institutional, or
organizational use. Customer shall not resell,
sublicense, lease, rent, white-label, redistribute, or
otherwise make the Services available to third parties without ARVOS’s prior
written consent, which may be withheld in ARVOS’s sole discretion.
Customer is solely responsible for all
activity under its account, including activity by administrators, Users,
employees, contractors, agents, guests, or any other person using Customer’s
account, Devices, credentials, or Services. Customer is responsible for
managing its administrators, user permissions, groups, talk groups, dispatch
permissions, recording settings, location visibility, device policies,
application permissions, identity-provider settings, and access controls.
Customer
shall ensure
that all Users are properly authorized, trained, notified, and legally
permitted to use the Services. Customer shall comply with all applicable
federal, state, local, and international laws, rules, regulations, labor
requirements, employment policies, collective bargaining obligations, privacy
laws, recording-consent laws, public-sector rules, procurement requirements,
and industry-specific requirements applicable to Customer’s use of the
Services.
5. Payment Terms, Fees, and Billing
Unless otherwise expressly stated in a
Sales Order Quote, all Services are sold on a prepaid, fixed-term basis. Customer shall pay all fees in full in advance for the
applicable Term. All fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable except as
expressly stated in a written agreement signed by an authorized officer of
ARVOS. Billing shall begin on the effective date, service commencement date,
shipment date, activation date, or other billing commencement date stated in
the applicable order document, and shall not be
delayed because Customer is not ready to deploy, activate, train, configure, or
use the Services.
Any additional Devices, licenses,
users, features, add-ons, software modules, connectivity services, SIM
services, dispatch seats, administrative users, AI features, data packages, or
other Services added during the Term shall co-term with Customer’s then-current
primary Service Term unless otherwise agreed in writing. Such additions shall
inherit the same discount structure applicable to the original committed plan
and shall be billed for the remaining portion of the Term. Reductions,
removals, cancellations, non-use, or partial deployment shall not reduce
Customer’s committed charges during the then-current Term.
Customer
shall pay all
fixed recurring charges in advance and all variable, usage-based, overage,
regulatory, carrier, network, tax, shipping, professional service, or other
charges in accordance with the applicable invoice. Customer authorizes ARVOS to
charge Customer’s approved payment method, including credit card, debit card,
ACH, wire, or other approved payment mechanism, for all amounts due. Customer shall maintain accurate and current billing
information at all times.
If Customer terminates, cancels, fails
to renew, fails to pay, or otherwise discontinues all or any portion of the
Services before the end of the committed Term, all remaining fees through the
end of the then-current Term shall become immediately due and payable. The
Parties agree that such amounts represent the agreed value of the committed
Services and are not a penalty.
6. Taxes, Regulatory Fees, Surcharges,
and Address Accuracy
Customer
shall provide
accurate billing addresses, service addresses, place-of-primary-use
information, emergency addresses, device deployment locations, tax-exemption
documentation, and any other information required to calculate taxes, fees,
surcharges, regulatory assessments, carrier charges, public safety fees,
communications-related charges, or other amounts associated with the Services.
Customer is responsible for all taxes,
regulatory fees, surcharges, public safety charges, universal service charges,
carrier fees, network access fees, government assessments, gross receipts
charges, environmental fees, and similar amounts arising from or related to the
Services, except for taxes based solely on ARVOS’s net income. ARVOS may charge
or recover regulatory fees, administrative fees, carrier-imposed charges,
third-party network charges, and governmental or quasi-governmental assessments
associated with the Services. Such fees may change from time to time without
prior notice unless notice is required by applicable law.
If Customer provides inaccurate,
incomplete, outdated, or invalid address, tax, exemption, emergency, location,
or place-of-primary-use information, Customer shall be responsible for any
resulting taxes, fees, penalties, service limitations, emergency-routing
issues, regulatory issues, or other consequences.
7. Invoice Disputes, Late Payments,
Collections, and Reconnection
Customer must notify ARVOS in writing
of any invoice dispute within sixty (60) days after the date of the disputed
invoice. The notice must identify the invoice, the disputed amount, the basis
for the dispute, and all supporting documentation. Customer waives any dispute
not submitted within such sixty (60) day period. Customer
shall timely pay all undisputed amounts while any dispute is pending.
ARVOS may charge late fees on overdue
amounts in the amount of $15.00 or 1.5% per month, whichever is greater, or the
maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is lower. ARVOS may charge
returned-payment fees, collection costs, attorneys’ fees, court costs,
arbitration costs, and other costs incurred in collecting overdue amounts, to
the extent permitted by law. ARVOS may apply deposits, credits, prepayments, or
other amounts held by ARVOS against unpaid balances. If ARVOS applies any
deposit or security amount, Customer shall replenish such deposit upon request.
If Services are suspended, restricted,
or terminated for nonpayment or other default, ARVOS may, in its sole
discretion, restore Services subject to conditions determined by ARVOS,
including payment of all overdue amounts, deposits, reconnection fees, reactivation
fees, professional service charges, and any other applicable amounts.
Restoration of Services shall not waive ARVOS’s right to collect all amounts
due or enforce this Agreement.
8. Term, Renewal, and Non-Renewal
The initial Term shall be stated in
the applicable Sales Order Quote. Unless Customer provides written notice of
non-renewal at least sixty (60) days before the end of the then-current Term,
the Services shall automatically renew for an additional one-year renewal term.
Upon renewal, any multi-year, promotional, introductory, or special discounts
may be removed, and Services may renew at ARVOS’s then-current standard rates
unless ARVOS agrees otherwise in writing.
All Services, add-ons, licenses,
Devices, data plans, and related features added during the Term shall co-term
with the primary plan unless otherwise stated in writing. Customer’s payment
obligations, confidentiality obligations, indemnification obligations,
limitation of liability provisions, dispute resolution obligations, data
provisions, equipment return obligations, and all other provisions that by
their nature should survive shall survive expiration or termination.
9. Suspension and Termination
ARVOS may suspend, restrict, limit,
disable, or terminate Services, accounts, Devices, applications, access
credentials, integrations, or features at any time if Customer or any User
fails to pay amounts due, violates this Agreement, violates applicable law,
misuses the Services, engages in unlawful surveillance or recording, resells
Services without authorization, interferes with network operations, compromises
security, infringes third-party rights, creates regulatory risk, causes harm to
ARVOS or others, or if suspension or termination is required or requested by a
court, regulator, law enforcement agency, carrier, network provider, platform
provider, or other lawful authority.
Upon termination, ARVOS may deactivate
accounts, disable access, reclaim numbers or identifiers where applicable,
delete or purge data subject to the data-retention terms, disable Devices,
remove software access, or terminate integrations. Customer shall not be
entitled to any refund, credit, or proration of prepaid amounts unless
expressly stated in writing by ARVOS.
10. Acceptable Use
Customer shall not use, and shall not
permit any User to use, the Services for unlawful, fraudulent, abusive,
harassing, threatening, defamatory, invasive, harmful, malicious, excessive,
disruptive, or unauthorized purposes. Customer shall not use the Services to
conduct unlawful surveillance, violate privacy rights, violate
recording-consent laws, intercept communications unlawfully, transmit malware,
interfere with networks, overload systems, attempt unauthorized access, bypass
security controls, compromise credentials, resell unauthorized services, or use
the Services in any manner inconsistent with applicable laws, this Agreement,
ARVOS policies, or third-party network policies.
ARVOS may monitor usage patterns and
may throttle, restrict, suspend, or terminate Services where ARVOS reasonably
determines that usage is excessive, abusive, unlawful, harmful, inconsistent
with the intended commercial use of the Services, or likely to impair the
Services, networks, systems, third-party providers, or other customers.
11. Network Access, Connectivity, and
Third-Party Dependencies
The Services depend upon third-party
networks, systems, providers, and technologies, including cellular networks,
LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, DMR, satellite systems, satellite adapters, internet service
providers, cloud infrastructure, mobile operating systems, app stores, identity
providers, device manufacturers, SIM providers, and other third parties. ARVOS
does not own or control such third-party systems and is not responsible for
their performance, availability, security, privacy, coverage, capacity,
routing, congestion, latency, outages, policies, restrictions, or failures.
Customer
acknowledges
that communications may be delayed, interrupted,
degraded, misrouted, blocked, unavailable, or fail entirely. ARVOS does not
guarantee message delivery, push-to-talk delivery, talk group availability,
call routing, data transmission, dispatch visibility, GPS availability,
location accuracy, AI processing, application performance, or device
connectivity.
Third-party network access may be
subject to the acceptable-use policies, fair-use policies, roaming limitations,
coverage limitations, data limits, export restrictions, public-safety
restrictions, or other terms of third-party providers. Customer is responsible
for complying with such third-party policies, and ARVOS shall have no liability
for Customer’s violation of such policies or for any third-party restriction,
suspension, throttling, limitation, outage, or termination.
12. Service Availability and SLA
ARVOS targets 99.99% availability
solely for ARVOS-controlled platform infrastructure. This availability target
applies only to systems directly controlled by ARVOS and expressly excludes
third-party networks, cellular coverage, Wi-Fi, DMR, satellite connectivity,
satellite adapters, customer networks, customer devices, customer
configurations, customer delays, mobile operating systems, app stores, identity
providers, force majeure events, scheduled maintenance, emergency maintenance,
security actions, third-party outages, and failures caused by Customer or
Users.
The 99.99% availability target is a
service objective and does not create any entitlement to refunds, credits,
liquidated damages, penalties, service credits, or financial remedies unless
expressly stated in a written SLA signed by an authorized officer of ARVOS.
ARVOS may conduct maintenance, updates, patches, upgrades, migrations, security
work, and emergency changes as needed to protect, maintain, improve, or restore
the Services.
13. Emergency Services, 911, and No
Life-Safety Reliance
Customer acknowledges and agrees that
ARVOS is not a substitute for traditional telephone service, wireless telephone
service, 911 service, E911 service, NG911 service, public safety radio,
emergency dispatch, fire alarm systems, security alarm systems, life-safety
systems, or mission-critical communications. ARVOS push-to-talk, mobile
applications, Devices, dispatch functions, GPS features, SOS features, AI
features, recordings, analytics, and location services are not designed,
intended, certified, represented, or guaranteed for emergency use.
Emergency communications may fail, be
delayed, be misrouted, be unavailable, or provide inaccurate or insufficient
location information. Location information may be delayed, incomplete,
unavailable, inaccurate, dependent on device settings, dependent on GPS signal,
dependent on wireless network conditions, or different from carrier-provided
emergency location information. ARVOS does not guarantee that any 911 call,
emergency communication, SOS alert, location event, dispatch notification, AI
alert, recording, or message will be transmitted, received, monitored, acted
upon, or delivered to the appropriate emergency authority.
Customer represents
and warrants that it has and will maintain alternative means of contacting 911
and other emergency services, including traditional wireless or landline
services where appropriate. Customer shall instruct all Users not to rely on
ARVOS as their sole or primary means of emergency communication. ARVOS has no
duty to monitor communications, GPS locations, SOS alerts, AI outputs,
recordings, analytics, device events, or system alerts for emergency conditions
and has no duty to dispatch assistance.
14. Recording, Monitoring, GPS, and
Customer Consent Obligations
Customer acknowledges that ARVOS
Services may record, monitor, store, analyze, and make available communications
and data, including push-to-talk transmissions, voice communications, text
messages, group communications, metadata, GPS location, device status, device
telemetry, user status, images, files, logs, administrative actions, and other
system activity.
Because push-to-talk communications
are real-time, group-based, and operational in nature, per-transmission
recording consent or notice is not practical. Customer agrees that consent and
notice must be handled through advance disclosure, user policy, employee
acknowledgment, application notice, device policy, training, signage where
appropriate, and ongoing consent mechanisms. Customer is solely responsible for
notifying Users and any other affected individuals that communications may be
recorded, monitored, analyzed, transcribed, translated, stored, accessed, or
shared, and for obtaining all consents required by applicable law.
Customer is solely responsible for
compliance with all recording, wiretapping, privacy, employment, labor, union,
workplace monitoring, education, government, public records, and data
protection laws applicable to Customer’s use of the Services. ARVOS shall have
no liability arising from Customer’s failure to provide notice, obtain consent,
adopt appropriate policies, or comply with applicable law.
15. Technical Support and
Administrative Access
Customer acknowledges and agrees that
ARVOS personnel, contractors, vendors, agents, and authorized support resources
may access Customer’s platform, account, Devices, user profiles,
configurations, recordings, communication logs, GPS location data, device
status, device telemetry, images, files, application settings, administrative
settings, system logs, network information, and related data as reasonably
necessary to provide technical support, onboarding, maintenance,
troubleshooting, system monitoring, security, fraud prevention, compliance,
service improvement, software updates, diagnostics, and account administration.
ARVOS will use commercially reasonable
administrative, technical, and operational controls to limit such access to
authorized purposes, but Customer acknowledges that support access is necessary
for delivery and support of the Services. Customer is responsible for informing
Users that ARVOS support personnel may access such information for support and
operational purposes.
16. Artificial Intelligence,
Transcription, Translation, and Analytics
The Services may include artificial
intelligence, machine learning, automated processing, transcription,
translation, sentiment analysis, summarization, classification, alerting,
search, reporting, quality analysis, or other analytics. Customer acknowledges
that AI-generated outputs are inherently probabilistic and may be inaccurate,
incomplete, delayed, biased, misleading, unavailable, or unsuitable for
Customer’s intended purpose.
ARVOS does not warrant
the accuracy, completeness, reliability, legality, suitability, timeliness, or
fitness of any AI-generated output, transcription, translation, sentiment
analysis, summary, recommendation, classification, score, alert, or
interpretation. Errors may result from pronunciation, accent, annunciation,
background noise, overlapping speakers, poor audio quality, technical
limitations, language variation, terminology, context, model limitations, or
other factors.
Customer
agrees
that AI outputs are provided for informational purposes only and
shall not be relied upon for legal, disciplinary, safety, emergency,
employment, medical, financial, compliance, operational, or mission-critical
decisions without independent human review. Customer assumes all risk arising
from reliance on AI outputs.
17. Device Management, MDM/DVM,
Applications, URL Filtering, and Security Controls
Customer acknowledges that ARVOS may
provide full mobile device management, device management, or operational

remote configuration, device monitoring, security-policy enforcement, operating
system updates, firmware updates, application installation, application
removal, patching, remote lock, remote wipe, application restrictions, device
restrictions, certificate management, VPN configuration, content filtering, URL
filtering, network filtering, access restrictions, app inventory, diagnostics,
compliance reporting, and related management functions.
ARVOS or Customer administrators may
restrict access to websites, URLs, domains, applications, content, files,
network destinations, device functions, or services for security, compliance,
operational, or policy reasons. Customer acknowledges
that such controls may affect device functionality, user experience, available
applications, data access, or device performance.
ARVOS shall not be liable for data
loss, application conflicts, device performance issues, software
incompatibility, update failure, device lockout, user inconvenience, or loss of
functionality arising from device-management activities performed in accordance
with this Agreement or Customer’s administrative settings.
18. Images, Media, Files, Contacts,
and Application Permissions
The Services and Devices may request
or use permissions to access the camera, microphone, speaker, location,
contacts, storage, images, videos, files, call logs, notifications, device
identifiers, network information, system status, and other device resources.
Images, files, videos, audio, contact information, attachments, or other
content accessed, uploaded, transmitted, captured, stored, or shared through
the Services may be visible to administrators, authorized Users, ARVOS support
personnel, integrated applications, dispatch users, or other systems depending
on Customer configuration and usage.
Customer is responsible for ensuring
that Users understand and consent to the collection, access, use, and sharing
of such information where required by law. ARVOS is not responsible for
Customer’s configuration of permissions, Customer’s use of content, or User
sharing of images, files, or media through the Services.
19. SSO, Identity Providers, and
Credentials
The Services may support single
sign-on, federated identity, or third-party authentication through providers
such as Google, Microsoft, or other identity providers. Customer is responsible
for configuring, maintaining, securing, and monitoring its identity-provider
environment, user accounts, administrators, credentials, authentication
policies, multi-factor authentication, access tokens, and SSO integrations.
ARVOS is not responsible for the
availability, security, accuracy, access decisions, identity proofing,
credential compromise, outage, policy changes, or practices of any third-party
identity provider. Customer is responsible for all activity occurring through
its accounts, credentials, tokens, identity systems, administrator accounts,
and authorized or unauthorized access resulting from Customer-managed
authentication.
20. Hardware, Devices, Shipping,
Delivery, Inspection, Returns, and Warranty
Hardware, Devices, accessories, SIMs,
chargers, batteries, mounts, gateways, adapters, or other equipment may be
sold, leased, loaned, rented, or provided for use with the Services as stated
in the applicable order document. Unless otherwise stated in writing, shipments
are FOB origin or shipped according to ARVOS’s standard shipping practices. Customer is responsible for shipping charges, insurance,
taxes, import/export requirements, special delivery requirements, and any costs
associated with shipping, handling, delivery, or return. ARVOS is not
responsible for manufacturer delays, vendor delays, supply-chain issues,
inventory shortages, carrier delays, customs delays, or shipping delays outside
ARVOS’s control.
Customer shall inspect all shipments
immediately upon receipt and report visible damage, missing items, or shipping
discrepancies to ARVOS within seventy-two (72) hours after delivery. Failure to
report damage or discrepancies within that period may waive Customer’s right to
claim damage, shortage, or delivery issues.
Returns are subject to ARVOS approval,
manufacturer policies, applicable RMA procedures, original packaging
requirements, device condition requirements, and restocking fees. Customer must
obtain a valid RMA before returning equipment. Unauthorized returns may be
refused. Approved returns may be subject to a restocking fee, shipping charges,

Customer delays, inaccurate information, unavailable systems, third-party
delays, or lack of cooperation.
23. Data Ownership, Processing Rights,
Retention, and Storage Limitations
Customer
retains
ownership of Customer Data. Customer grants ARVOS a non-exclusive,
worldwide, royalty-free right to collect, access, process, store, transmit,
analyze, use, disclose, and otherwise handle Customer Data as necessary or
appropriate to provide, support, secure, maintain, troubleshoot, improve, and
operate the Services; comply with law; prevent fraud or misuse; enforce this
Agreement; and protect ARVOS, Customer, Users, and third parties.
Unless otherwise stated in writing,
ARVOS retains applicable stored communications, recordings, GPS logs, system
logs, analytics, and related platform data for up to one hundred eighty (180)
days. ARVOS is not a permanent archive, backup service, records-management
system, evidence-retention system, or legal hold repository. Customer is solely
responsible for exporting, downloading, preserving, backing up, retaining, or
archiving any information Customer requires for legal, regulatory, employment,
public records, operational, evidentiary, or business purposes before
expiration, deletion, purge, termination, or account closure.
ARVOS may delete, purge, overwrite,
de-identify, or make unavailable data after the applicable retention period,
upon termination, upon account closure, or as otherwise permitted by law or
this Agreement. ARVOS may impose reasonable limits on data storage, file size,
message size, retention duration, recording duration, usage volume, analytics

24. Artificial Intelligence Processing
and Third-Party Providers.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that
certain features and functionalities of the Services may include artificial
intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning capabilities, including but not
limited to transcription, translation, summarization, sentiment analysis,
keyword detection, communication analysis, and related automated processing
(collectively, “AI Features”). Customer further acknowledges that such AI
Features may be provided, in whole or in part, through third-party service
providers, subprocessors, or technology partners (“AI
Providers”), which may process communications, recordings, text, metadata,
location data, and other information transmitted through the Services.
Customer expressly consents to the
processing of such data by ARVOS and its AI Providers for the purpose of
delivering, maintaining, improving, and securing the Services. Customer
understands and agrees that AI Features are probabilistic in nature and may
produce inaccurate, incomplete, or unintended results. ARVOS makes no
representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability,
completeness, or fitness of any AI-generated output, and Customer assumes all
risk associated with reliance on such output.
All AI processing shall be subject to
ARVOS’s Privacy Policy and applicable data protection practices; however, ARVOS
shall not be responsible for errors, omissions, misinterpretations, or
decisions made based on AI-generated content.
25. Customer Configuration and

policies on managed devices.
Customer understands and agrees that
the use of Device Management Functions, including remote lock or remote wipe,
may result in the deletion, loss, or inaccessibility of data stored on such
devices, including personal or business data. Customer assumes full
responsibility for any such data loss, and ARVOS shall have no liability for
any damages, losses, or claims arising from or related to the execution of
Device Management Functions.
For clarity, ARVOS does not install or

Services may involve collection and processing of personal information,
location information, communications data, device data, usage data, contact
information, images, recordings, and other information. ARVOS’s privacy
practices are described in its Privacy Policy, as updated from time to time.
To the extent any Customer information
constitutes Customer Proprietary Network Information, regulated communications
information, public records, education records, employment records, sensitive
personal information, or other protected information, Customer is responsible
for determining the legal requirements applicable to Customer’s use of the
Services and for configuring and using the Services in compliance with such
requirements. ARVOS will use commercially reasonable safeguards appropriate to
the Services, but Customer acknowledges that no system is fully secure.
29. Security Disclaimer
Customer
acknowledges
that no network, system, device, application, cloud
service, communication platform, encryption method, authentication method, or
security control is completely secure. ARVOS does not guarantee that
communications, recordings, location data, images, messages, AI outputs, files,
account data, device data, or stored information will be free from unauthorized
access, interception, corruption, loss, delay, disclosure, or compromise.
Customer is
responsible
for using appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards,
including strong passwords, access controls, administrator controls, device
security, SSO security, user training, endpoint security, and internal
policies. ARVOS shall not be liable for unauthorized access or misuse caused by
compromised credentials, Customer configurations, User conduct, third-party
systems, Customer devices, weak passwords, identity-provider issues, or
Customer’s failure to maintain reasonable security controls.
30. Law Enforcement, Legal Process,
and Government Requests

regulatory requirement, governmental request, emergency request, law
enforcement request, or where ARVOS reasonably believes disclosure is necessary
to protect rights, safety, security, property, network integrity, Users,
customers, the public, or ARVOS.
ARVOS may, but is not required to,
notify Customer of legal requests where legally permitted and operationally
reasonable. Customer is responsible for responding to any legal, regulatory,
public records, litigation hold, employment, or compliance obligations
applicable to Customer.

Customer acknowledges that such platform providers are not parties to this
Agreement and are not responsible for the Services, support, maintenance, warranties,
claims, or liabilities related to the Services, except as required by their
applicable terms. Use of ARVOS applications may be subject to third-party
platform terms, app store rules, operating system restrictions, and device
manufacturer policies.
Third-party applications,
integrations, identity providers, analytics services, mapping services, AI
services, carrier services, cloud services, and other external systems may be

services, their security, availability, data practices, terms, performance,

The Parties agree that arbitration
shall be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a class, collective,
consolidated, mass, representative, or private attorney general action.

mass arbitration, consolidated action, representative action, or jury trial.

of competent jurisdiction.
39. Governing Law and Venue
This Agreement shall be governed by
the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law
principles. Subject to the arbitration provision, any permitted court
proceeding shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located

jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

portal notice, application notice, website posting, invoice message, written

delegate, or novate this Agreement, any SOQ, or any rights or obligations
without ARVOS’s prior written consent. Any attempted assignment without consent
is void. A change in Customer ownership, control, merger, reorganization, asset
sale, or legal structure shall not reduce, extinguish, or modify Customer’s
obligations, and the Agreement shall continue to bind Customer and its
successors unless ARVOS agrees otherwise in writing.
ARVOS may assign this Agreement, any
SOQ, receivables, rights, or obligations to an affiliate, successor, purchaser,
lender, assignee, or acquirer of all or substantially all of
its assets or business without Customer’s consent.
42. Modification of Terms
ARVOS may update or modify this
Agreement, policies, service descriptions, online terms, or related documents
from time to time due to regulatory changes, carrier changes, technology

requirements, or business changes. Unless a shorter period is required by law,
security, carrier requirement, or regulatory need, revised terms will become
effective thirty (30) days after posting or notice. Customer’s continued use of
the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised
terms.
43. Severability, Waiver, No
Third-Party Beneficiaries, and Entire Agreement
If any provision of this Agreement is
held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain
in full force and effect. Failure by either Party to enforce any provision
shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision. This
Agreement is for the benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors and
assigns and does not create rights in any third party, except where platform
providers such as Apple or Google are deemed third-party beneficiaries under
their applicable terms.
This Agreement, together with all
incorporated order documents, policies, EULAs, privacy terms, and service
schedules, constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between the Parties
regarding the Services and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous proposals,
discussions, representations, marketing materials, understandings, or
agreements, whether written or oral.
