The Platform Administrator shall ensure that access credentials are not shared among multiple End-Users. Actions taken by the Platform Administrator within the scope of the Platform Administrator’s authority under this Agreement shall be binding on the Customer.
9. Locations
This section governs how Locations are authorized, assessed for compatibility, and managed during the Agreement Term, including the addition, replacement, and removal of Locations. For the consequences of pre-Activation removal, including applicable charges and the impact on Bundled Pricing, see section 12.
9.1 Authorized Locations and Service Selection. Each Location listed in Schedule A is authorized to receive the Services selected for that Location. Locations may also be authorized to receive Services if approved in accordance with this section 9.
9.2 Compatibility Review. Prior to the applicable Activation of any Service, BrainBox AI may confirm that each Location remains technically compatible with the selected Service. The inclusion of Locations under this Agreement and the applicable pricing is based on portfolio-level assessments, sample data, or other preliminary analyses conducted prior to the Effective Date, and on the assumption, based on information provided by the Customer, that the Building Systems, configurations, and connectivity conditions across Locations are substantially comparable. Accordingly, compatibility determinations are based on said information and then validated through conditions identified by BrainBox AI during Enablement activities conducted prior to the applicable Activation Date. Final compatibility depends on the actual configuration, connectivity, and condition of the applicable Building Systems at the time of Activation.
If BrainBox AI identifies any incompatibilities, missing interfaces, data deficiencies, or other conditions that may prevent Activation of the Services at a Location, BrainBox AI shall notify the Customer and may recommend that the Customer carry out preparatory work required to enable such Location (Pre-Activation Enabling Work). At the Customer’s request, BrainBox AI may perform such work as Professional Services pursuant to a Statement of Work, as applicable. If the Customer elects not to proceed with such work, the Location may be determined to be incompatible for the applicable Service.
Where a Location is determined to be incompatible for a Service due to: (i) pre-existing Building System configuration; (ii) material changes to Building Systems; (iii) inaccurate or incomplete information provided to BrainBox AI; or (iv) technical limitations that prevent Activation of the applicable Service, including where the Customer elects not to proceed with Pre-Activation Enabling Work, or where such work does not resolve the identified incompatibility, BrainBox AI may disqualify the Location for that Service prior to Activation. The consequences of disqualification depend on the reason for the incompatibility as follows:
(a) where the incompatibility is due to inaccurate or incomplete information provided by the Customer, or the Customer's failure to proceed with recommended Pre-Activation Enabling Work, removal may occur pursuant to section 9.3 (Removal Where No Suitable Replacement or Disqualification) and the consequences described in section 12 (Pre-Activation Removal and Consequences), including the removal charge under section 12.3, may apply; and
(b) where the incompatibility is not attributable to inaccurate or incomplete information provided by the Customer or the Customer's failure to proceed with recommended Pre-Activation Enabling Work, including where the incompatibility persists despite Pre-Activation Enabling Work having been performed or where it arises from technical limitations, removal may occur pursuant to section 9.3, but no removal charge under section 12.3 shall apply.
9.3 Removal Where No Suitable Replacement or Disqualification. If disqualification occurs under section 9.2, or if no commercially equivalent replacement Location is available within the Customer’s portfolio following a replacement request under section 9.4 (Adding or Replacing Locations), or within the period contemplated by section 12.4 (Replacement Mitigation), BrainBox AI may remove the affected Location for the applicable Service from Schedule A. The consequences of such removal shall be governed in accordance with section 12.
9.4 Adding or Replacing Locations. The Customer may, at its discretion, request to add a new Location or replace an existing Location through its Authorized Business Contact. Requests may be submitted by email or, where available, through the Platform enablement workflow. BrainBox AI will confirm approval or refusal through the same channel. No Location may be added or replaced without BrainBox AI’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. A replacement Location must be commercially equivalent to the Location being replaced on the applicable Pricing Basis. Any addition or replacement of a Location under this section 9.4 applies to all Services at that Location and may not be effected on a Service-by-Service basis. Locations added to Schedule A after the Agreement Effective Date and any replacement Location approved under this section 9.4, are subject to Onboarding Fees at the rates determined in accordance with section 14.6 (Annual Adjustment).. Any addition or replacement of a Location under this section 9.4 constitutes an administrative update in accordance with section 7.3 (Administrative Updates and Binding Effect).
9.5 Addition of Services. Where the Customer has not selected all available Services on the Cover Page as of the Agreement Effective Date, the Customer may request the addition of one or more Services through its Authorized Business Contact by email or, where available, through the Platform enablement workflow. Any addition approved by BrainBox AI applies to all Locations then listed in Schedule A. Subscription Fees for the added Service are at BrainBox AI's then-current rates, taking into account annual increases under section 14.6 (Annual Adjustment), and are billed from the applicable Activation Date for that added Service at each Location, subject to satisfaction of the applicable Enablement conditions under section 10 (Customer Responsibilities) and section 11 (Service Enablement). The Location Subscription Term and Bundled Pricing consequences are governed by sections 15.1 (Location Subscription Term) and 14.4 (Bundled Pricing) respectively. The addition constitutes an administrative update under section 7.3 (Administrative Updates and Binding Effect), and shall not create a new or separate Location Subscription Term.
9.6 Charges Incurred Prior to Replacement or Disqualification. Charges incurred prior to removal, replacement, or disqualification are governed by section 12.
9.7 Status and Activation of Added or Replacement Locations. Any Location approved for addition or replacement under this Section 9 becomes subject to this Agreement as of the date of approval. Where a Location replaces an existing Location, such replacement Location shall be deemed a continuation of the replaced Location for purposes of this Agreement, including for the calculation of the Location Subscription Term, and shall not create a new or separate Location Subscription Term. Any time elapsed with respect to the replaced Location shall be applied toward the Location Subscription Term applicable to the replacement Location. Onboarding Fees for any replacement Location shall nevertheless apply in accordance with sections 9.4 (Adding or Replacing Locations) and 14.6 (Annual Adjustment). Billing for any added or replacement Location commences in accordance with section 4 (Activation of Services) and section 14 (Financial Terms).
10. Customer Responsibilities
This section sets out the Customer's obligations that must be satisfied to enable and maintain delivery of the Services at each Location throughout the Agreement Term.
10.1 Access and Cooperation. To support Location Enablement and Onboarding of the Services, and any installation of Equipment in connection with the Services, the Customer will work with BrainBox AI to provide timely access to each Location, Building Systems, network environments, and appropriate personnel, and shall cooperate in good faith with BrainBox AI to facilitate installation, configuration, commissioning, integration and Activation activities.
10.2 Technical and Network Requirements. The Services are dependent on compatible Building Systems and network infrastructure, consistent system permissions, stable and reliable internet connectivity, and the maintenance of related configurations at each Location. The Customer shall ensure that such technical requirements are available prior to Activation of the Services at each Location and maintained throughout the Agreement Term in a manner sufficient to support delivery of the Services.
10.3 Location Readiness. Each Location must be ready for Activation of the applicable Service. A Location is generally considered ready when:

For clarity, physical installation of Equipment, where applicable, is addressed in Section 11.3.
11.3 Installation of Equipment (standard). If installation of physical Equipment is indicated on the Cover Page or added after the Effective Date in accordance with this Agreement, standard installation of Equipment includes:
(a) removal of existing customer-owned Equipment; and
(b) mounting, hardware terminations, connection, and basic configuration of the Equipment,
in each case in accordance with BrainBox AI’s standard installation practices, using existing, accessible Customer network infrastructure at the Location, and subject to Customer’s compliance with its obligations under Section 10 (Customer Responsibilities).
For clarity, standard physical installation of Equipment includes only minor connection-level wiring required for mounting and physical connection. Any non-standard work required for such installation, including wiring beyond minor connection-level wiring, shall be performed through a Change Order or SOW, in accordance with this Agreement.
11.4 Subcontracting. BrainBox AI may subcontract any portion of the Services, including Equipment installation activities, to qualified third parties and shall remain responsible for the performance of such subcontractors.
11.5 Hazardous Materials. If BrainBox AI or any subcontractor encounters material suspected to be asbestos or any other hazardous material at a Location during Equipment installation, work shall be suspended immediately, and the Customer shall be notified. Work may resume only once the material is confirmed safe or the Customer has completed the required abatement.
11.6 Connectivity Dependencies. Delivery and ongoing performance of the Services depend on the continued availability, stability, and compatibility of the Customer’s Building Systems, field-level and IP-based networks, internet connectivity, APIs, integrations, permissions, and related infrastructure at each Location.
11.6.1 Ongoing Conditions. Throughout the Agreement Term, the Customer shall ensure that each Location maintains system availability, network access credentials, and technical configurations sufficient to support telemetry, monitoring, dashboards, data exchange, and where applicable, read/write functionality, and other technical requirements of the Services, as communicated by BrainBox AI.
11.6.2 Effects of Connectivity Disruptions. Instability, outage, misconfiguration, degradation, manual override, access withdrawal, or other disruptions affecting the foregoing systems or connectivity may delay, limit, suspend, or degrade delivery of the Services, and may constitute a Non-Routine Event.
11.6.3 Planned Changes. The Customer will provide advance notice to BrainBox AI of any planned changes to Building Systems, network infrastructure, connectivity, or configurations that may affect delivery or operation of the Services.
11.6.4 Non-Routine Events. Where a connectivity issue or related disruption meets the definition of a Non-Routine Event under this Agreement, it will be treated as such for purposes of the Agreement.
11.6.5 Edge Device Hardware Dependency. Where an Edge Device is installed at a Location, the Customer shall ensure that the Edge Device maintains continuous power supply and physical network access throughout the Agreement Term. Any interruption to power supply or physical network access affecting the Edge Device may delay, limit, suspend, or degrade delivery of the Services at the applicable Location and may constitute a Non-Routine Event in accordance with this Agreement.
12.1 Scope and Application. This section applies where, prior to the applicable Activation Date for a Service at a Location, Activation cannot proceed.
12.2 Removal Prior to Activation. BrainBox AI may remove a Service or Location from Schedule A prior to the applicable Activation Date where:
(a) any Service, or the Location, is determined to be incompatible with the selected Service(s) as determined pursuant to section 9 (Locations), including due to technical limitations, system configuration, material changes to Building Systems or inaccurate or incomplete information provided by the Customer; or
(b) Enablement of the Service cannot proceed for thirty (30) consecutive days due to the Customer’s failure to satisfy its obligations under sections 9 (Locations), 10 (Customer Responsibilities), or 11 (Service Enablement); or
(c) the parties are unable to agree on a pricing adjustment required due to regional deployment requirements or Location-specific regulatory or logistical conditions that materially increase deployment costs, and Enablement cannot proceed as a result; or
(d) no commercially equivalent replacement Location is available following a disqualification under section 9.2 (Compatibility Review) or a replacement request under section 9.4 (Adding or Replacing Locations).
12.3 Pre-Activation Removal Charge. Upon removal under section 12.2 (a), (b) or (d), BrainBox AI may charge an amount equal to three (3) months of the applicable Subscription Fees for each affected Service at the applicable Location. This charge reflects a commercially reasonable allocation of risk and is not intended as a penalty. No removal charge applies in connection with removal under section 12.2(c), or where removal under section 12.2 (a) arises in the circumstances described in section 9.2(b), namely where the incompatibility is not attributable to inaccurate or incomplete information provided by the Customer or the Customer's failure to proceed with recommended Pre-Activation Enabling Work.
12.4 Replacement Mitigation. The Customer may avoid application of the removal charge described in section 12.3 by designating a commercially equivalent replacement Location, approved by BrainBox AI in accordance with section 9 (Locations), within thirty (30) days of BrainBox AI notifying the Customer of disqualification under section 9.2. BrainBox AI's approval of such replacement Location shall not be unreasonably withheld. Where a replacement Location is approved, the Subscription Fees attributable to the replacement Location shall be included in the applicable Subscription Fee baseline for purposes of the Bundled Pricing Threshold, and the replacement Location shall be treated in accordance with section 9.7 (Status and Activation of Added or Replacement Locations)..
12.5 Charges Incurred Prior to Removal. All Onboarding Fees, Professional Services fees (including Pre-Activation Enabling Work), Equipment costs, installation fees, site visit charges, and any other amounts incurred or committed prior to removal remain payable in full and are not refundable or creditable.
12.6 Impact on Bundled Pricing. The impact of removal under this section 12 on the Customer's continued eligibility for Bundled Pricing depends on the reason for the removal, as follows:
(a) where the removal arises in the circumstances described in section 9.2(a), the removal shall be taken into account in determining the Customer’s continued eligibility for Bundled Pricing against the original Subscription Fee baseline, being the total Subscription Fees for all Services at all Locations listed in Schedule A as of the Agreement Effective Date, and may result in reversion to Standalone Pricing in accordance with section 14.4 (Bundled Pricing); and
(b) where the removal arises in the circumstances described in section 9.2(b), the Bundled Pricing Threshold shall be recalculated by excluding the Subscription Fees attributable to the removed Service(s) from the Subscription Fee baseline against which the threshold percentage specified on the Cover Page is applied, and if the Customer continues to satisfy the Bundled Pricing Threshold against the recalculated baseline, Bundled Pricing shall be preserved and no reversion to Standalone Pricing shall occur.
(c) where the removal occurs because the Customer fails to designate a commercially equivalent replacement Location within thirty (30) days of BrainBox AI’s notice of disqualification under section 12.4 (Replacement Mitigation), the removal shall be taken into account in determining the Customer's continued eligibility for Bundled Pricing against the original Subscription Fee baseline, being the total Subscription Fees for all Services at all Locations listed in Schedule A as of the Agreement Effective Date, and may result in reversion to Standalone Pricing in accordance with section 14.4 (Bundled Pricing).
13. Non-Routine Events - Effects and Consequences
This section governs the effects and consequences of a Non-Routine Event on Service delivery and Fees.
13.1 Service Impact. Where an event qualifies as a Non-Routine Event, delivery, availability, or performance of the affected Service(s) may be delayed, disrupted, limited, suspended, or degraded for the duration of the Non-Routine Event.
13.2 Suspension or Adjustment. During a Non-Routine Event, BrainBox AI may suspend, limit, or adjust delivery of the affected Service(s) to the extent reasonably necessary to address the impact of the Non-Routine Event.

13.7 Resumption of Services. Resumption of normal Service delivery following a Non-Routine Event may require completion of applicable remediation, revalidation, or re-onboarding activities and may be subject to applicable charges and scheduling availability.
14. Financial Terms
Fees and Payment Terms
14.1 Fees. All Fees are payable in accordance with, and are subject to, the payment terms, late charges, tax treatment, and collection provisions set out in the Terms of Service.
14.2 Billing Currency. Fees shall be paid in the currency specified on the Cover Page.
14.3 Billing Cadence and Invoice Issuance. Unless otherwise specified on the Cover Page, the following billing cadence and invoice issuance provisions apply to each category of Fees payable under this Agreement, including where a Location is added or approved as a replacement Location under section 9.4 (Adding or Replacing Locations:
(a) Subscription Fees are billed per Location, annually in advance, commencing on the first (1st) day of the calendar month in which the Activation Date falls if the Activation Date is between the first (1st) and fifteenth (15th) day of that month, or on the first (1st) day of the following calendar month if the Activation Date falls between the sixteenth (16th) and last day of that month; the same billing commencement rules apply to any Service added to a Location after that Location’s initial Activation Date.
(b) Onboarding Fees are billed per Location, on the Agreement Effective Date or, for Locations added to Schedule A after the Agreement Effective Date, on the date the Location is approved for addition under section 9 (Locations) For any replacement Location approved under section 9.4 (Adding or Replacing Locations), Onboarding Fees are likewise billed on the date of approval of the replacement Location, at the rate then in effect under section 14.6 (Annual Adjustment);
(c) Fees for Professional Services, including any Pre-Activation Enabling Work, are billed as set out in the applicable SOW;
(d) Fees for Sold Equipment are billed upon shipment to the Customer;
(e) all other Fees and charges, including installation of Sold Equipment, re-onboarding, work falling under Change Orders, and any additional at-Location visits (truck rolls), are billed upon completion of the applicable work, or as indicated on the applicable Change Order or SOW; and
(f) ) the Pre-Activation Removal Charge under section 12.3, where applicable, is billed upon removal of the applicable Service or Location from Schedule A;
(g) a Pricing Differential Invoice (as defined in section 14.4 (Bundled Pricing)), where Subscription Fee pricing reverts to Standalone Pricing, is billed on each Reversion Date.
Pricing Structure
14.4 Bundled Pricing. Where Bundled Pricing applies, discounted Subscription Fee pricing is subject to, and remains in effect only while the Bundled Pricing Threshold is satisfied throughout the Agreement Term, subject to any recalculation of the applicable baseline in accordance with section 12.6(b) (Impact on Bundled Pricing). If the Bundled Pricing Threshold is no longer satisfied, Subscription Fee pricing shall revert to Standalone Pricing effective as of the first day of the calendar month following the date on which the Bundled Pricing Threshold ceases to be met (the "Reversion Date"). BrainBox AI shall issue a supplemental invoice for the difference between the applicable Standalone Pricing and the Bundled Pricing already paid, prorated for the remainder of the then-current billing cadence period (as determined in accordance with section 14.3) from the Reversion Date (“Pricing Differential Invoice”). Such Pricing Differential Invoice shall be issued in accordance with section 14.3(g). On each occasion that, following a Reversion Date, the Customer subsequently restores the Bundled Pricing Threshold, Bundled Pricing may be reinstated effective as of the first day of the calendar month following the date on which the threshold is restored, as confirmed in writing by BrainBox AI. No refund, credit, or retroactive adjustment shall apply with respect to any period during which Standalone Pricing was in effect between any Reversion Date and the corresponding date of reinstatement of Bundled Pricing. For clarity, Professional Services Fees and Onboarding Fees are not subject to Bundled Pricing.
Adjustments and Annual Increases
14.5 Installation, Enablement, and Deployment Adjustments
14.5.1 Pricing Validity and Readiness. Pricing for Equipment and Equipment installation is valid for ninety (90) days from the Agreement Effective Date, provided the applicable Location is in a state of readiness in accordance with section 10 (Customer Responsibilities). If Equipment installation is delayed due to the Customer’s failure to satisfy its obligations under sections 9 (Locations), 10 (Customer Responsibilities), or 11 (Service Enablement), BrainBox AI may adjust pricing for Equipment and Installation to reflect reasonable and demonstrable cost increases.
14.5.2 Additional Location Visits. Where conditions at a Location differ from those previously anticipated or indicated, or where a Location is not in the expected state of readiness, BrainBox AI may conduct additional at-Location visits (truck rolls) as required. Additional at-Location visits are billed at BrainBox AI's then-current standard time and materials rate, plus reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses.
14.5.3 Re-Onboarding Activities & Associated Fees. Where re-onboarding is required due to Customer-related circumstances or a Non-Routine Event, BrainBox AI shall be entitled to charge re-onboarding fees for the affected Location at the then-current adjusted rate, and Subscription Fees remain payable during any associated suspension. For clarity, any Fees for re-onboarding activities are separate from the Onboarding Fees.
14.6 Annual Adjustment. Subscription Fees and Onboarding Fees increase by seven percent (7%) on each anniversary of the Agreement Effective Date, regardless of Activation Date(s), provided that any increase to Onboarding Fees applies only to Onboarding activities performed after the applicable anniversary date, including with respect to Locations added to Schedule A, and replacement Locations approved under section 9.4 (Adding or Replacing Locations), on or after such date. Any prepaid Subscription Fees shall be applied only to the applicable subscription year at the rates in effect for that year, and the annual increase shall apply to each subsequent subscription year, regardless of any advance payment.
15. Location Subscription Terms
15.1 Location Subscription Term. Each Location Subscription Term applies independently on a Location-by-Location basis. If an additional Service is added for a Location after that Location’s initial Activation Date, that additional Service shall be included in, and will expire at the end of, the then-current Location Subscription Term for that Location and will not create a new or separate Location Subscription Term.
15.2 Renewal. Each Location Subscription Term shall automatically renew for the renewal period specified on the Cover Page for the applicable Location, unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then-current Location Subscription Term. Renewal applies only to Locations that remain active and are receiving the applicable Service(s) as of the end of the then-current Location Subscription Term. Where a Service has been added to a Location after that Location's initial Activation Date, such added Service shall renew as part of, and for the same renewal period as, the then-current Location Subscription Term for that Location.
15.3 Permanent Location Closure. If a Force Majeure Event results in the permanent closure of a Location, or if the Customer permanently ceases operations at or divests a Location, the Customer may remove the affected Location from Schedule A by providing at least ninety (90) days’ advance written notice. A temporary shutdown, renovation, staffing shortage, or other operational interruption does not constitute a permanent closure unless the Customer confirms in writing that the Location will not resume operations. Removal of a Location under this section 15.3 applies to the Location as a whole and terminates all Location Subscription Terms for all Services at that Location as of the effective date of removal. Fees accrued or payable through the effective date of removal remain payable.
15.4 Termination for Cause. Termination for cause shall be governed exclusively by the Terms of Service.
15.5 Termination for Convenience. Neither a Location Subscription Term, nor any individual Service at any Location, may be terminated for convenience during the first twelve (12) months following that Location’s initial Activation Date. The addition of a new Service to a Location after that Location's initial Activation Date does not restart or extend this twelve (12)-month period.
Following the first anniversary of a Location's initial Activation Date:
(a) Location-Level. Either party may terminate all Services at a Location for convenience at any time by providing at least ninety (90) days' advance written notice, which shall terminate the applicable Location Subscription Term for all Services at that Location, but only for that Location.
(b) Service-Level. Where two or more Services are selected for a Location, either party may terminate an individual Service at that Location for convenience at any time by providing at least ninety (90) days' advance written notice, provided that at least one Service remains active at that Location following such termination.
Customer-initiated termination for convenience shall be taken into account in determining the Customer’s continued eligibility for any Bundled Pricing, including satisfaction of any Bundled Pricing Threshold, and where such Bundled Pricing is no longer applicable, the Subscription Fees shall revert to Standalone Pricing in accordance with section 14.4 (Bundled Pricing) and this Agreement.
16. Effects of Expiration or Termination
16.1 Cessation of Services at a Location. Upon expiration or termination of a Location Subscription Term, or termination of an individual Service at a Location, the applicable Service(s) at such Location shall cease in accordance with the Terms of Service. BrainBox AI may deactivate integrations, connectivity, control pathways, dashboards, APIs, and related configurations associated with such Service(s) and Location, and may delete Customer Data specific to such Service(s) and Location in accordance with the Terms of Service.
16.2 Scope of Termination for Convenience. Termination of a Location Subscription Term under section 15.5(a) applies only to the affected Location and all Services for that Location, and does not terminate this Agreement. Termination for convenience of an individual Service under section 15.5(b) applies only to such Service and does not terminate the Location Subscription Term for any remaining Services at that Location or otherwise affect this Agreement.
16.3 Outstanding Fees. Upon expiration or termination of a Location Subscription Term, or termination of an individual Service at a Location, all Fees incurred or accrued with respect to the applicable Service(s) and Location(s) through the effective date of expiration or termination shall become immediately due and payable, without set-off, deduction, or withholding. Except where BrainBox AI terminates Services for convenience, no refund, credit, or rebate shall apply. In such case, the Customer's sole remedy shall be the reimbursement of the pro rata portion of any prepaid Subscription Fees attributable to the terminated Services for the period following the effective date of termination.
16.4 Equipment. Upon expiration or termination of a Location Subscription Term or this Agreement, as applicable, if Loaned Equipment is installed at the affected Location, the Customer shall, at its own cost and expense, return such Loaned Equipment to BrainBox AI or provide BrainBox AI with reasonable access to remove it within the timeframe specified by BrainBox AI, and failure to do so may result in charges in accordance with the Equipment Terms, Statement of Limited Warranty and RMA Procedures Addendum (available at https://brainboxai.com/en/equipment-terms-statement-of-limited-warranty-and-rma-procedures-addendum), which is incorporated into and forms part of this Agreement and shall govern in the event of any conflict with this section 16.4. Any Equipment sold to the Customer shall remain the Customer’s property upon transfer of title and shall not be removed by BrainBox AI upon expiration or termination of the applicable Location Subscription Term or of this Agreement.
17. Documentation. The Services are designed to operate in accordance with BrainBox AI’s applicable Documentation. Variations from the documented configurations, prerequisites, or usage parameters may affect Service availability or performance.
Part III – SERVICE MODULES
SECTION A - AI CONTROL SERVICES
(applies only if selected on the Cover Page)
If the Customer selects AI Control Services on the Cover Page, the provisions in this section A apply to and supplement the Terms of Service. In the event of a conflict between this section A (AI Control Services) and the Terms of Service with respect to the AI Control Services, this section A shall prevail.
18. AI Control Services
18.1 Description of AI Control Services. BrainBox AI provides a cloud-based, software subscription service that applies artificial intelligence and algorithmic optimization to provide an autonomous control layer, in accordance with its operating parameters and the applicable Documentation, over the portion of each Location to which AI Control Services apply (“AI Control” or “AI Control Services”).

18.2 AI Control Service Locations. AI Control Services shall be provided at Locations listed in Schedule A when AI Control Services are selected on the Cover Page. Selecting a Location for any other Service does not entitle that Location to receive AI Control Services unless AI Control Services are also selected on the Cover Page, or otherwise authorized in accordance with Section 9 (Locations). Where multiple Services are selected for the same Location as of that Location’s initial Activation, all such Services share the same Activation Date for that Location in accordance with Section 4.1 (Activation of Services).
19. Service Enablement and Delivery Process for AI Control Services
BrainBox AI shall deliver AI Control Services for each Location in the staged process set out in this section 19 (Service Enablement and Delivery Process for AI Control Services). Each stage must be completed before the subsequent stage may commence.
19.1 Step 1 - Information Gathering
19.1.1 Required Information. The Customer must provide the following information for each Location:
(a) Utility invoices and other HVAC-related billing information for the previous 24 months;
(b) Available mechanical and electrical asset registers;
(c) Available store and mechanical as-built drawings;
(d) An outbound internet connection suitable for secure data transmission to the BrainBox AI cloud;

hardware); and
(j) Reasonably requested technical details for HVAC, BMS, or other Building Systems equipment, including
manufacturer, model, and serial number information, where required for Activation and continued delivery
of the Services.
All such information, and any other documentation supplied to BrainBox AI by or on behalf of the Customer, including the Customer’s service providers, vendors, contractors, or utility providers, may be used by BrainBox AI solely as necessary to configure, integrate, and deliver the Services, on the same license basis applicable to Third-Party Equipment Documentation under the Terms of Service.
19.1.2 Assistance with Information Gathering. BrainBox AI may assist the Customer in gathering the information under section 19.1.1 to facilitate timely progress through Step 1. If a Location visit is required to gather or validate such information, BrainBox AI shall notify the Customer in advance and shall not proceed without written approval from the Customer's Authorized Business Contact, which may be provided by email. Such visit will be billed at BrainBox AI’s then-current standard time and materials rate, plus reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses. All Fees shall be invoiced and paid in the currency specified on the Cover Page.
19.2 Step 2 – Onboarding Period. Following completion of Step 1, and once a Location is in a state of readiness, Onboarding activities begin.
19.3 AI Control Command Dependencies. In addition to the general technical and connectivity requirements set out in this Agreement, the continued operation of the AI Control Services depends on the availability of the control pathways, command permissions, control points, and related system configurations required for BrainBox AI to issue and execute AI Control commands at the applicable Location. The Customer shall not disable, materially alter, or restrict such control pathways, command permissions, control points, network access, or system configurations, except as expressly permitted under Section 20 (Extreme Conditions and Control Reversion) or otherwise agreed by the parties.
20. Extreme Conditions and Control Reversion
20.1 Temporary Suspension of AI Control Commands. The AI Control Services include automated safeguards designed to protect building systems, equipment, and occupants. In anticipation of, or during, periods of extreme weather, grid instability, emergency operating conditions, or similar external circumstances, either BrainBox AI or the Customer may temporarily suspend, in whole or in part, the issuance of AI Control commands and revert operational control to the applicable Location’s BMS.
20.2 Suspension Initiated by BrainBox AI. If BrainBox AI initiates a suspension of AI Control commands under this section 20 (Extreme Conditions and Control Reversion), only BrainBox AI may restore such commands, subject to operating conditions returning within applicable parameters.
20.3 Suspension Initiated by Customer (AI Release). If the Customer initiates a suspension of AI Control commands using standard BMS controls or other non-emergency operational controls, excluding a Customer Control Override (defined below), the Customer may restore AI Control commands. BrainBox AI may also restore AI Control commands at the Customer’s request or with the Customer’s authorization.
20.4 Customer Control Override. The Customer may maintain a physical or logical control mechanism within its BMS environment (the “Customer Control Override”) that, when engaged, prevents AI control commands from being executed at the applicable Location. If the Customer engages the Customer Control Override, only the Customer may disengage it and restore the ability for AI control commands to be issued, and BrainBox AI shall have no technical ability to override the Customer Control Override.
20.5 Intended Operations; No Service Failure. Any suspension or restoration of AI Control commands in accordance with this section 20 constitutes intended operation of the AI Control Services and does not constitute a failure of the AI Control Services, nor a breach of this Agreement.
SECTION B – ARIA SERVICES
(applies only if selected on the Cover Page)
If the Customer selects ARIA Services on the Cover Page, this section B applies solely to the ARIA Services and supplements the AI Enabled Services Addendum. ARIA Services constitute an “AI Enabled Service” as defined in the AI Enabled Services Addendum. In the event of a conflict between this section B and the AI Enabled Services Addendum with respect to ARIA Services, the AI Enabled Services Addendum prevails.
21. ARIA Services
