1. Acceptance and acknowledgement of this EULA
   1. By installing the App or accessing the Evergen Platform you agree:
      1. to be bound by these terms of use (EULA); and
      2. that you have read and acknowledged our Privacy Policy.
   2. Please review the EULA carefully before you accept it. If you do not agree to the EULA you are not permitted to access the Evergen Platform or use the App.
   3. You may only use the App if you are 16 years or older. By using the App, you confirm that you are 16 years or older.
   4. We reserve the right to amend this EULA at any time. We will inform you of any changes either: (i) through the App when you access the App for the first time following the change; (ii) via the Evergen Platform when you access the Evergen Platform for the first time following the change; or (iii) by email. Your continued use of the Evergen Platform or the App following the notification of changes will mean that you accept the changes.
   5. The EULA governs your use of the App. Use of any Services may also be subject to any applicable Terms of Service.
2. The App
   1. The App can be used on most Apple iOS and Android OS devices.
   2. In order to use any Services through the App, you must:
      1. have a compatible Device;
      2. download and install the App on your compatible Device from the relevant marketplace for your Device’s platform;
      3. agree to any relevant Terms of Service; and
      4. register a Profile using the App (see section 3).
   3. We may update the App to add to, and improve, its functions. Depending on the update, you may not be able to use the App until you have downloaded the latest version and accepted any new or additional terms.
   4. If you have any issues with the App, please contact your IT department in the first instance. Otherwise, please visit https://support.evergen.com.au/technical-support-evergen and we will do our best to help you.
   5. You acknowledge that the App, the Evergen Platform and the Services may be dependent upon other parties. We try to ensure that the App, and the Services, are available to you at all times, though we can’t promise that they will always be available or work perfectly (for example, in the case of maintenance, fraud, or a fault in the systems used to provide the App). These events are sometimes outside of our control.
3. Your Profile
   1. You need to register on the App to use it. This will create an account in the App, which is known as a Profile. The first time you use the App, you will be guided through the process to register a Profile to enable you to use the Services (either via the App or the Evergen Platform).
4. Intelligent Control
   1. When you use the App or the Evergen Platform to control your battery, you may see that some battery consumption functionality that is normally accessed through your battery manufacturer’s settings is no longer available. We have done this to maximise the performance of your battery and to allow Intelligent Control to operate effectively. For more information please contact: [email protected]
   2. Evergen integrates with many different battery and device suppliers to monitor and control devices using Intelligent Control, and we work with the device manufacturers engineering teams to ensure that our Intelligent Control only sends commands to the device that are within its operating limits.
   3. Our ability to integrate, control discharge and charge of your battery is also limited to what the manufacturers will allow within the limits imposed by their API (Application Programming Interface) and Firmware (the manufacturer’s permanent software programmed into the battery). As such, Evergen is prevented from exceeding the operating limits set by your battery manufacturer and therefore Intelligent Control should have no adverse impact on the manufacturer’s warranty. While Evergen is not aware of any battery warranties that will be voided if Intelligent Control is utilised, given the range of manufacturers that Evergen integrates with, we cannot guarantee your battery warranty will not be affected, and we recommend you speak to your battery manufacturer about the specifics of the battery warranty when enrolling in any scheme or using any software or hardware that can charge or discharge your device.
5. Intellectual Property
   1. All trade marks, copyright, database rights and other intellectual property rights of any nature in the Evergen Platform and the App (including its appearance and branding), together with the underlying software code, is owned by us or our licensors. We may also use open source software code in the Evergen Platform and the App, which will be subject to the applicable open source licence terms.
   2. We grant you a revocable right to use the App for your personal use in accordance with this EULA.
   3. You must comply with all technology control or export laws and regulations that apply to the technology used or supported by the App.
6. Your use of the App or the Evergen Platform
   1. You must not:
      1. use the App or the Evergen Platform in any unlawful way or in breach of the EULA, or act fraudulently or maliciously;
      2. infringe intellectual property rights in relation to the App, or your use of it;
      3. allow any other person to use the App installed on your Device;
      4. attempt to alter or decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running any Service (for example, by trying to break the encryption protecting those transmissions);
      5. copy, decompile, reverse-engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, modify, or create derivative works of the App or any part of the App, other than as expressly provided in this EULA or otherwise permitted by law, or
      6. use the App or the Evergen Platform in a way that could damage, disable, overburden, impair or compromise our systems or security or interfere with other people who use the App.
7. Third-party software and services
   1. You may be required to use third-party software on your Device in order to use the App. You agree that:
      1. we are not responsible for such third-party software (or any updates to that software);
      2. such third-party software is subject to its own terms and conditions; and
      3. if you are unable or unwilling to obtain or install such third-party software, you may be unable to access or use the App.
   2. Access to all or parts of the App may require your Device to be connected to the internet or require other third-party services. Your use of third-party services may be subject to fees and separate terms and conditions. You acknowledge that we are not liable for the activities of any such third parties. You are responsible for ensuring that your installation and use of the App does not cause you to exceed any data usage quotas or other limitations that may apply to your internet service or other services acquired from third parties.
   3. The App may contain links to third-party websites or other third-party content or services. Those links are provided for convenience only and may not remain current or be maintained. Such links should not be construed as an endorsement, approval or recommendation by us of the third parties, or of any content or services provided by them. Your use of any third-party content or services may be subject to separate terms and conditions.
8. Acknowledgements and liability
   1. Not withstanding anything else in this EULA, Evergen will not be liable for the installation, maintenance, repair and replacement or any other issues relating to solar cells, batteries or any related hardware.

   5. Where the law implies a warranty into this EULA which may not lawfully be excluded, including those under Australian Consumer Law, our liability for breach of such a warranty will be limited to, if applicable, and at our option (where we have that right):
      1. in the case of goods – if, and to the extent, the App is considered a ‘good’ under applicable law – repairing, replacing or supplying equivalent goods, or paying the cost of any of those remedies to you.
   6. You agree to reimburse us for any losses we incur as a result of your breach of, or failure to comply with, this EULA or if we suffer any losses as a result of your use of the App.

         1. product liability claims;
         2. any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; or
         3. claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation;
         4. in the event of any third party claim that the App or your possession and/or use of the App infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, we will be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of any such claim;

You acknowledge that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be dealt with by the Licensor in accordance with this document.
10. Security
    1. While we take reasonable steps to do so, we do not warrant and we cannot ensure the security of any information transmitted using the App. Nevertheless, when we receive data from you, we will take reasonable steps to preserve the security of such information.
    2. You must ensure your Device and security credentials remain secure. You must not share your Device or security credentials (such as an access code) with any other person. We also recommend that you have security protection on all of your Devices (such as a passcode or fingerprint to unlock the Device) to prevent others attempting to access the App.
    3. You must:
       1. ensure the Device is always is your possession;
       2. keep the Device locked whenever you are not using it and maintain strong security settings to prevent unauthorised unlocking or use;
       3. for any password or passcode that can be used to unlock the Device:
          1. ensure it is strong and cannot be easily guessed (for example, do not use your birth date); and
          2. do not tell it to anyone else or record it in a way that someone else could figure it out (for example, do not write it on a card kept near the Device);
       4. not leave the Device unattended in any public place, in any vehicle, or in any situation in which it may be used or manipulated by another person;
       5. not override any security measures on the Device (e.g. ‘jailbreaking’) or attempt to do so;
       6. only install applications on the Device from the official marketplace for the Device’s operating system (e.g. iOS App Store, Google Play, etc.); and
       7. notify us, or the supplier of the Service(s), immediately if the Device becomes lost or stolen, or if you sell, transfer or give it to any other person.
    4. You must take your own precautions to ensure that the process you use for accessing the App does not expose you to the risk of viruses, malicious code or other forms of interference which may damage your Device. We do not accept responsibility for any interference or damage to Devices which arises in connection with use of the App.
    5. Android devices allow apps to draw or run over other apps, or otherwise interact with other apps (“Overlay Functionality”). This functionality could be abused by third parties to capture the content of the App and therefore poses a security threat. We strongly advise you not to allow other apps to use Overlay Functionality in order to prevent possible misuse of information such as personal information or access credentials. If you do permit other apps to use the Overlay Functionality then (unless it’s caused by our failings) you are responsible for (and agree to hold us harmless from) any misuse of, or changes to, your information, including on your Profile, resulting from the use of the Overlay Functionality.
11. Suspending and stopping your use
    1. This EULA continues until it is terminated by either us or you under this clause
    2. We may immediately terminate this EULA and your use of the App if:

       2. the Terms of Service are terminated for any reason.
       3. If we notify you of such termination, you must immediately delete the App from all Devices in your possession or control and you must not access the App again.
    3. We may suspend or terminate access to the App if we deem it necessary or prudent to do so:
       1. in order to preserve the integrity and security of the App or Services, the data collected from it, or any related equipment or systems;
       2. for legal reasons, including any change in the law;
       3. due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including disruption to network connections or equipment, loss of third-party services, denial of service attacks, strikes, lock-outs, labour disputes, acts of God, acts of nature, acts of government or their agencies, fire, flood, storm, riots, power shortages or power failure, war, terrorist acts, sabotage, or inability to obtain sufficient labour, raw materials, fuel or utilities, or

13. General
    1. Each of the conditions of this EULA operates separately. If any court or competent authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining conditions will remain in full force and effect.
    2. If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. Any waiver would need to be given by us in writing.
    3. We may transfer our rights and obligations under this EULA to another organisation, but this will not reduce your rights or those obligations. You may not transfer your rights or obligations to another person.
