3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES >
View offers an integrated platform for smart buildings using infrastructure security software, machine-learning enabled smart sensors and analytics, and other products to enhance user health and experience, energy savings, and operational efficiency in commercial buildings (“Buildings). The Products and Services View provides are designed to augment and enhance an individual’s experience with a Building as either a “Tenant” or as the employee, contractor or guest of a Tenant (“User”). Our Products and Services are described in more detail below and are made available solely with respect to the specific Building with which you interact. View provides the Products and Services to you on behalf of and at the request of a Building’s owner, property manager or landlord (“Manager”) or a Tenant. Certain portions of the Products and Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may be provided from time to time by your Manager or Tenant. View Products and Services ultimately provide Building Managers, Tenants and Users with more and improved information, services and functionality related to a Building.
View provides a data analytics platform that aggregates all building data (e.g., occupancy, space usage, digital collaboration and work patterns, access control, air quality, temperature, and environmental factors) into a consolidated dashboard that both Building Managers and Tenants may use. View’s Products and Services include mobile apps and other tools that allow Building Managers and Tenants to understand more about compliance and operations (e.g., employee health and safety, security, space utilization, hybrid work analyses, employee experience and engagement, and ESG optimization). View also offers an easy-to-deploy secure, cloud-managed, software-defined IoT network solution which enables Building Managers to quickly achieve enterprise-grade security, reduce operating costs, and gain real-time visibility into single buildings as well as entire real estate portfolios.

View agrees to furnish View Products and Services only in the quantity and type and according to the pricing and specifications set forth in an Order Form. An Order Form may differ from project plans, specifications, quotes and/or purchase orders previously circulated by the parties. The Order Form supersedes and replaces all such documents and will be the controlling document with regard to all details of Products and Services. The prices set forth in the Order Form are based solely on the particular drawings, specifications, models, mock-ups, renderings, software and other items (including all computer file and/or AutoCAD files) included with or specifically referenced in the Order Form. Items omitted from the Order Form are expressly excluded. All Products and Services supplied by View pursuant to an Order Form, including those produced to meet an exact specification, will be subject to tolerances and variations consistent with usage of trade, regular manufacturing practices or practical testing and inspection methods. Such tolerances and variations shall not create any new, separate, or additional View warranties.
B. Changes in Work.
No change will be made to the scope of work for an Order Form unless you and View agree in writing to the change and any resulting price, schedule or other contractual modifications. If any change to any law, rule, regulation, order, code, standard or requirement impacts View’s obligations or performance under any agreement or Order Form with you, View may request a change order for an equitable adjustment in the price and time of performance.
C. Inspection of Products and Services.
Within ten (10) days of the delivery of Products and Services, you should inspect and test and notify View in writing of any claim that the Products and Services are nonconforming.

No Products or Services may be returned or rejected to View for credit without View’s prior written consent.
D. Delivery and Implementation.
The Order Form will include View’s expected lead times for standard and non-standard Products and Services. Upon agreement for View to provide Products and Services to you, View will assign an estimated shipping, installation and implementation date or range of dates based on those lead times. These dates are best estimates and are subject to change, and View shall not be liable for any loss or damage to you or any third party due to any delay or failure to deliver its Products and Services in accordance with the estimated dates, regardless of the cause.
E. Holds, Cancellation.
An order for Products and Services cannot be put on hold, modified, canceled or changed without View’s written consent. Customer shall reimburse View for all material, labor and overhead costs incurred by View as a result of any hold that you request. If you cancel any Products and Services or a portion of Products and Services, you shall be responsible for payment to View for reasonable cancellation or service change charges, which may include, but will not be limited to, the price for all Products and Services delivered by View to you, the price for all finished physical Products and Services in the possession of View, all other direct costs incurred by View (and not able to be mitigated using reasonable mitigation efforts), and other miscellaneous charges, such as for storage. In addition, if at the time you cancel Products and Services, View has work in process, we will be allowed to finish such work in process, place the Products and Services in finished goods inventory, and bill you for the price for such Products and Services. If you place the Products and Services or any portion of the Products and Services on hold or refuse to take delivery of the same for more than one hundred eighty (180) days, such Products and Services or portions thereof will be considered canceled.

You will pay each invoice without any retainage or set-off of any kind. Your payment obligation is not conditioned on your receipt of payment from any third party.
B. Payment Methods. To the extent that you are invoiced or charged for Products and Services or any portion is made available for any fee, you will be required to select a payment plan and provide information regarding your credit card or other payment instrument, as made available from time to time at View’s sole discretion (“Payment Method”).

You will promptly update your account information with any changes that may occur regarding your Payment Method (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date). You agree to pay the amount that is specified, in accordance with these Terms. When paid by you, these payments are final and non-refundable, unless View determines otherwise in its sole discretion. You hereby authorize View to bill your Payment Method in advance in accordance with the terms specified within the Products and Services at the time of billing, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred. If you dispute any charges, you must let View know within sixty (60) days after the date that View charges you.

If we do change prices, View will provide notice of the change in the Products and Services or in email to you, at View’s option, at least thirty (30) days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Products and Services after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount.
C. Early Payment. View allows a 1% early payment discount when you provide invoice payment in full to View within ten (10) calendar days or less of invoice date. Any invoice payment which is made that is less than the full invoice amount, less than 1% discount, shall not be subject to any early payment discount.
D. Late Payments. Unpaid invoices are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower.

View reserves the right to restrict current or withhold future Products and Services if timely payment for prior Products and Services has not been received.
E. Storage Charges.

Under no circumstances will View be liable for any costs, fees, damages or loss to stored Products, work in process, or other goods or materials. View specifically disclaims any liability for, or damage resulting from, the storage of finished Products, work in process, or other goods or materials stored in any manner contrary to industry standards or specific storage requirements identified or recommended by View for its Products and Services generally.
F. Payment Authorizations. If you use the payment features available in the Products and Services, you authorize View to electronically debit your Payment Method in the amount and upon the date you authorize in the Products and Services, subject to the Payment Processor Terms (as defined below), and if necessary, to electronically credit your same Payment Method. You understand this authorization will remain in full force and effect until you notify View by an email that you revoke this authorization. You understand that View requires at least ten (10) business days’ prior notice of revocation of any payment authorization.

G. Payment Processing. Payment processing services for any fees owed by you in connection with the Products and Services or services of any Third Party Provider, as applicable, will be provided by third party payment processers that View makes available (“Payment Processor”). You will render payment via the applicable Payment Processor and in accordance with such Payment Processor’s applicable terms and conditions and privacy policy governing the then-current Payment Processor’s services (“Payment Processor Terms”). Please contact the applicable Payment Processor for more information. Any fees owed by you in connection with the Products and Services or services of any Third Party Provider that is not processed within the service provided by the Third Party Provider, as applicable, will be processed by the Payment Processor. By agreeing to these Terms or continuing to access or use the Products and Services, you agree (i) to be bound by the Payment Processor Terms as the same may be modified by such Payment Processor from time to time and (ii) that any fees associated with the Products and Services or services of any Third Party Provider, as applicable, will be charged to the credit card or debt card associated with your account with the applicable Payment Processor or debited to your bank account that you provide to the applicable Payment Processor for purposes of automatic clearing house (“ACH”) payments. As a condition of View enabling payment processing service through any Payment Processor, you agree to provide View accurate and complete information as requested by View and to promptly update such information as needed, and also authorize View to share such information and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing service provided by such Payment Processor. View does not control any fees that may be charged to you by your bank related to Payment Processor’s collection or disbursement of such payment, and View disclaims all liability in this regard. You will ensure that you have sufficient funds or credit associated with the selected Payment Method. You understand that the amounts charged may vary and that this authorization will remain in effect until the expiration or termination of this Agreement. If an ACH payment is returned from the applicable bank account for insufficient or uncollected funds or for erroneous information, View may reinitiate the returned ACH debit to the applicable bank account. Any amounts owed to View that cannot be collected by ACH debit may be charged to any backup credit card on file for you.

D. Copyright Infringement. In your interactions with View and your use of our Products and Services, you may not post, modify, distribute, or reproduce in any way, any content that is copyrighted material belonging to others, without obtaining their prior written consent.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA") provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that any material used or displayed on or through our websites or otherwise in our Products and Services infringes your copyright, you may send a notice to us requesting that the material be removed or access to it blocked. For the notice to be effective, it must be in writing and must include the following information:
- a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive copyright that is allegedly infringed;
- identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works);
- identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate the material within our websites or otherwise in our Products and Services;
- the name, address, telephone number and email address (if available) of the complaining party;
- a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
- a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, and your content has been removed or access to your content has been blocked, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. For the counter-notice to be effective, it must be in writing and must include the following information:
- physical or electronic signature of the user or a person authorized to act on behalf of the user;
- identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
- a statement under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;
- the user's name, address, and telephone number; and
- a statement that the user consents to the jurisdiction of the courts in Milpitas, California and that the user will accept service of process from the person who submitted the Notification of Claimed Infringement or an agent of such person.
Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see https://www.copyright.gov for details. DMCA notices and counter-notices regarding our websites and Products and Services should be sent to:
