SLOAN MARKETPLACE
TERMS OF SERVICE
SC ArgusTM Software-as-a-Service
Effective Date: March 22, 2023
Sloan Marketplace LLC (collectively "Sloan Marketplace") is willing to provide to commercial, government and higher-education building owners, landlords and tenants, including building facility and sustainability managers and various building service agencies who are hired by the property owner, landlord or tenant (each an “End User Customer”) certain subscription services related to water usage and control in commercial, government and higher-education building facilities (the “Subscription Service(s)”) that utilize Sloan Marketplace IOT enabled products (the “Product(s)”) for use in one or more building facilities in accordance with and subject to acceptance of these Terms of Service, as amended from time to time by Sloan Marketplace (these “Terms”). Using the browser on your computer, tablet or mobile device, the Subscription Services may be accessed by logging in to the https://www.Sloan.com web site (the “Sloan Marketplace Web Site”), through the special portal located at https://sloan.sc-argus.com/SignIn (the “Portal”) or by accessing the data and data analytics provided through the Sloan Marketplace Application Programming Interface (API) through your own network.
The Subscription Services are only compatible with Sloan Marketplace Products previously purchased from one of our approved sales representatives or distributors. These Products must also be already installed at one or more of your building facilities. These Terms, together with your registration for the Subscription Services, and the policies and documents identified below, including but not limited to the Sloan Marketplace Privacy Policy, as amended from time to time (“Privacy Policy”), the Sloan Marketplace End-User License Agreement, as amended from time to time (“EULA”) for Product Software, and the Sloan Marketplace API Use Agreement, as amended from time to time, if you are intending to access the Subscription Services through your own network, comprise the entire Agreement between you and Sloan Marketplace with respect to its subject matter (this “Agreement”). No contrary or additional terms contained in any order (including any purchase order) shall be part of this Agreement or otherwise be made binding on Sloan Marketplace. Any provision for the on-site installation and/or technical support for the Products, including the use of one or more Sloan Marketplace mobile phone apps for obtaining Product installation support, information about Product signal strength and Product location in any given facility are reflected by their own respective agreements which are not made a part of this Agreement.
BY CLICKING THE “ACCEPT” BUTTON DURING ACCOUNT SETUP, YOU ARE CONCLUDING A LEGAL BINDING AGREEMENT WITH SLOAN MARKETPLACE. IF YOU CLICK THE “DECLINE” BUTTON DURING ACCOUNT SETUP YOU WILL NOT BE PROVIDED ACCESS TO THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES. IF AN APPROVED SLOAN MARKETPLACE PRODUCT HAS BEEN INSTALLED AT ONE OR MORE BUILDING FACILITIES AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS AGREEMENT, AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF ITS TERMS, AND CONSENT TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES. IF YOU CREATE AN ACCOUNT AS AN END USER CUSTOMER AND REGISTER TO USE THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES, OR LOG IN OR ARE OTHERWISE PERMITTED ACCESS TO THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES, YOU ARE DEEMED AN AUTHORIZED USER FOR PURPOSES OF THESE TERMS (AS FURTHER DEFINED BELOW). PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY AS THEY ALSO REQUIRE THE USE OF BINDING ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE DISPUTES RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.
If the individual indicating assent to this Agreement is doing so on behalf of an organization, all references to "you" or "your" in these Terms shall mean the legal entity represented by such individual. (Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term “you” shall also have the more specific meanings set forth below.) Such individual represents and warrants that he or she is fully authorized to enter into this Agreement on behalf of the individual’s organization.
Only an End User Customer of a building may subscribe to the Subscription Services for any building facility or group of facilities located in the building by creating an Account with Sloan Marketplace in accordance with Section 2(a) below (an “Authorized User”). You are also an “Authorized User” if the End User Customer has authorized you to use the Products installed at a building and you register as a user by providing the information required for Authorized Users. In all cases, these Terms govern your access to and use of the Subscription Services.
As an Authorized User, you represent and warrant that you either own, lease, rent or have the authority to manage or control the building facility or group of facilities on which the Products have been installed. Sloan Marketplace is willing to provide the Subscription Services to you only upon the condition that you accept all of the Terms. If you breach any provision in these Terms, you must disconnect your Products from your Account and cease accessing or using the Subscription Services.
These Terms give you specific legal rights, and you may also have other legal rights in addition, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability under these Terms will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable federal, local, state/city law, ordinance, rule, code, policy or regulation (collectively “Law”). Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or other rights, so those provisions of these Terms may not apply to you.
AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 3(b), BELOW, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO THE RECEIPT OF AUTOMATIC OVER THE AIR (OTA) SOFTWARE UPDATES FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES AND ALSO FOR THE PRODUCTS CONNECTED TO THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES. SECTIONS 4 AND 5 DESCRIBE IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES, ESPECIALLY IN CONNECTION WITH LIFE SAFETY AND CRITICAL USES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, YOU MAY NOT USE THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES.
Sloan Marketplace also reserves the right to make unilateral changes to these Terms at any time, so please review them often. We will post on the Portal and/or Sloan Marketplace Web Site, including at Terms of Service, notices that these Terms have been modified. The changes will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Terms or as otherwise specified in the notice. You should therefore ensure that you have read and agree with our most recent Terms whenever you use the Subscription Services. By continuing to use the Subscription Services after we post revised Terms, you are agreeing to be bound by the revised Terms.
- Overview, Eligibility, Customer Service
- Overview of Terms and Relation to Other Agreements. These Terms apply to all Subscription Services for the Products procured or otherwise received from Sloan Marketplace. The software embedded in each Product (and any updates thereto) (“Product Software”) is licensed and governed by the EULA. Certain features of the Subscription Services may be subject to additional guidelines, terms, policies, or rules, which will be posted on the Portal or the Sloan Marketplace Web Site in connection with such features. All additional guidelines, terms, policies, and rules, including the Sloan Marketplace Privacy Policy, are incorporated by reference into these Terms as part of the Agreement, and you are agreeing to accept and abide by them when you subscribe to the Subscription Services, register your Account, use or permit other Authorized Users to use the Subscription Services.
- Eligibility. Only individuals age 18+ who can form a binding contract with Sloan Marketplace are permitted to subscribe to or register for Subscription Services or be an Authorized User. The Subscription Services are not available to any person previously prohibited by Sloan Marketplace from using other Sloan Marketplace services or products. You may not use the Subscription Service if your use of the service would violate any Law, including, without limitation, any applicable export control law or regulation.
- Customer Service. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Subscription Services, or these Terms, please contact Sloan Marketplace by email at customer.service@sloanmarketplace.com, or by phone at 800-982-5839.
- Accounts
- Your Account. To use the Subscription Services as an Authorized User, you must first register for a user account on the Portal or Sloan Marketplace Web Site (“Account”), provide certain basic identifying and contact information about yourself, including the addresses of the building(s) and facilities or group of facilities in those buildings where the Products are installed, as required in the registration form, and agree to these Terms. As part of the registration process, each Account must identify an administrative username and password for the Account. Each Authorized User provides a unique username and password. You represent and warrant that: (i) all required registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; and (ii) you will promptly update such information to maintain its accuracy. The type of Account you have or may use, and the Subscription Services to which you are entitled, may depend on the type of user you are, the type of subscription you have purchased and/or the number of Products that are included in the Account.
- Account Security. As between you and Sloan Marketplace, you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account login information and for all activities that occur under your Account. You agree to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers and symbols) with your Account, and to maintain your password securely to prevent others from gaining access without your permission. Sloan Marketplace reserves the right to refuse registration of or cancel passwords it deems inappropriate. You agree to immediately notify Sloan Marketplace of any unauthorized use, or suspected unauthorized use, of your Account or any other breach of security. Sloan Marketplace is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements or any other unauthorized use.
- Users. As an End User Customer, you may authorize others to use the Account by registering as an Authorized User in accordance with Section 2(a) and agree to these Terms. Depending on the type of Account, Authorized Users may have the ability to use the Subscription Services to remote monitor and control the Products, receive various notifications and alarms, and to view and download in a CSV file and/or Excel spreadsheet various Product Data, as defined in Section 6(c), including possibly certain other information that is not specific to the Products such as information about building occupancy. Others may have the ability to access, view and download such information and content but not remote control or otherwise transmit commands to the Products. Authorized Users are responsible for their own actions in connection with the Products and Subscription Services, but you agree to be fully responsible vis-à-vis Sloan Marketplace for all actions taken by your Authorized Users relating to the Products, the Subscription Services and the Account. If you invite or enable an Authorized User, you acknowledge and agree that such Authorized User may subsequently invite or enable other Authorized Users with the same access and ability to use the Subscription Services in conjunction with the Products as set out above. As a result, you should authorize only those individuals that you trust to access your Account and Subscription Services.
- Access to Subscription Services
- Access and Use. Subject and pursuant to these Terms, including the payment of the applicable subscription fees, Sloan Marketplace grants to you a non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable, limited right (without the right to sublicense except only as expressly stated in these Terms) to access and use the Subscription Services by using the Portal, the Sloan Marketplace Web Site or through your own network, in connection with, and solely for the purpose of, controlling and monitoring the Products you own or are authorized to control and monitor, or otherwise accessing the Subscription Service expressly provided by Sloan Marketplace for your use (the “Permitted Purpose”).
- Automatic Software Updates. Sloan Marketplace may from time to time develop patches, bug fixes, updates, upgrades and other modifications to the Subscription Services and/or the Product Software (“Updates”). These may be automatically installed without providing any additional notice or receiving any additional consent. You consent to this automatic update. If you do not want such Updates, your remedy is to stop using the Subscription Services in conjunction with the Products. If you use the Subscription Services, you will receive Updates automatically. You acknowledge that you may be required to install Updates to use the Subscription Services and the Products and you agree to promptly install any non-automatic Updates that Sloan Marketplace may provide. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create an obligation on Sloan Marketplace to provide any Updates or new features, or to continue to provide or enable any particular features or functionality. Your continued use of the Subscription Services and the Products is your agreement: (i) to these Terms with respect to the updated Subscription Services, and (ii) to the EULA which will continue to apply to any updated Product Software. For purposes of this Agreement, all Updates shall be deemed to be included within and a part of the Subscription Services.
- Interface to Third Party Products and Services. From time to time, Sloan Marketplace may provide the opportunity for you to interface with one or more third-party products and services through and using the Subscription Services (“Third-Party Products and Services”). In some cases, you decide whether and with which Third Party Products and Services you want to interface. Your explicit consent and authorization is required for this interface, and is revocable by you at any time. Once your consent is given for a particular Third-Party Product and Service, you agree that Sloan Marketplace may exchange information and data regarding you and/or your Products, including possibly your Personal Data, in order to enable the interface you have authorized. Once this information is shared with the Third-Party Product and Service, its use will be governed by the third party’s privacy policy and not by Sloan Marketplace’ Privacy Policy or documentation. You acknowledge and agree that Sloan Marketplace makes no representation or warranty about the safety of any Third-Party Products and Services, and that, with respect to Sloan Marketplace, your use of the Third-Party Products and Services is “AS IS” and at your sole risk. You acknowledge and agree that Sloan Marketplace makes no representation or warranty about the operation, reliability, or safety of the Third-Party Products and Services. Accordingly, Sloan Marketplace is not responsible for your use of the Third-Party Product and Services or any personal injury, death, property damage (including, without limitation, to your property), or other harm or losses arising from or relating to your use of the Third-Party Products and Services. You should contact the third party with any questions about their Third-Party Products and Services.
- Content. Certain materials may be displayed or performed on the Portal or on the Sloan Marketplace Web Site relevant to the Subscription Services including, but not limited to, FAQs, installation documentation, spec sheets, text, graphics, articles, photographs, video, images, illustrations and other product and/or service related documentation (collectively, “Content”). You shall abide by all copyright notices, trademark rules, information, and restrictions contained in any Content accessed through the Subscription Services, and shall not use, copy, reproduce, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, upload, display, license, sell or otherwise exploit for any purposes whatsoever any Content or third party submissions or other proprietary rights not owned by you: (i) without the express prior written consent of the respective owners, and (ii) in any way that violates any third party right. Sloan Marketplace reserves the right to remove any Content from the Subscription Services at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, upon receipt of claims or allegations from third parties or authorities relating to such Content or if we are concerned that you may have breached the immediately preceding sentence) or for no reason at all.
- User Submissions. The Content may include information that you provide us in the course of using the Subscription Services (collectively, “User Submissions”), which we may use to provide, maintain and improve the Subscription Services. For example, the Subscription Service may allow you to upload, post, or otherwise share with us photographic content. You are solely responsible for all User Submissions that you upload, post, email, transmit, or otherwise disseminate to us using or in connection with the Subscription Services, or that you contribute in any manner to the Subscription Services; you represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to do so, in the way you contribute it. You hereby grant to Sloan Marketplace an irrevocable, perpetual, nonexclusive, royalty-free and fully paid, worldwide, and transferable license to reproduce, distribute, publicly display and perform, prepare derivative works of, incorporate into other works, and otherwise use and exploit your User Submissions, including all associated IP, and to grant sublicenses of the foregoing rights, for the purposes of including your User Submissions on the Subscription Services, and otherwise in connection with the Subscription Services. You hereby irrevocably waive (and agree to cause to be waived) any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to your User Submissions. For clarity, the foregoing license grant to Sloan Marketplace does not affect your ownership of or right to grant additional (other than exclusive) licenses to the material in your User Submissions, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
- Certain Restrictions. The rights granted to you in these Terms are subject to the following restrictions. You agree not to: (i) license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, host, or otherwise commercially exploit the Subscription Services or otherwise use the Subscription Services for any purpose other than the Permitted Purpose; (ii) modify, make derivative works of, disassemble, reverse compile, or reverse engineer any part of the Products or the Subscription Services; (iii) access the Products and Subscription Services in order to build a similar or competitive service; (iv) use any Product or Subscription Service in a service bureau or time sharing environment; (v) upload, transmit, or distribute any computer viruses, worms, or any software intended to damage or alter a computer or communication network, computer, handheld mobile device, Product Data (defined in Section 6(c), below), the Subscription Services, any Product, the Product Software, or any other system, device or property; (vi) interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to, the servers or networks connected to the Subscription Services or violate the regulations, policies, or procedures of such networks; (vii) access (or attempt to access) any of the Subscription Services by means other than through the Sloan Marketplace Web Site, the Portal or interface that is provided by Sloan Marketplace or its vendors; or (viii) remove, obscure or alter any proprietary rights notices or legends (including copyrights and trademark notices and confidentiality legends) which may be contained in or displayed in connection with the Products or Subscription Services. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, no part of the Product, Product Data or Subscription Services may be copied, reproduced, distributed, republished, downloaded, displayed, posted, or transmitted in any form or by any means. Any future release, update, or other addition to functionality of the Subscription Services shall be subject to these Terms.
- Personal Data. For purposes of this Agreement, “Data Subject” means an individual who (1) uses the Products or Subscription Services provided by Sloan Marketplace and/or (2) about which information is collected or generated as a part of the Products or Subscription Services; and “Personal Data,” in respect of each Data Subject means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; and an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, geographic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. Such information (such as your name, email address and phone number) is collected from you when you open an Account for the Subscription Services, but data generated by the Products used in conjunction with use of the Subscription Services will not include any Personal Data but only aggregated anonymized data reflecting information about various water related matters such as water usage rates for the facilities or group of facilities at issue, number of times a particular Product has been used, the applicable water temperature, the battery life of any particular Product, and other Product Data.
- Privacy. Please review the Sloan Marketplace Privacy Policy which describes the practices regarding the information that Sloan Marketplace may collect from users of the Subscription Services, including any Content or User Submissions.
- Security. Sloan Marketplace cares about the integrity and security of your Personal Data and Product Data. Sloan Marketplace, however, does not represent, warrant, guaranty or covenant that no unauthorized third parties will defeat our security measures or use your Personal Data or the Product Data for improper purposes. You acknowledge that your Personal Data and the Product Data are being provided or may be accessed at your own risk.
- Modification. Sloan Marketplace reserves the right, at any time, to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Subscription Services or any part thereof with or without notice. You agree that Sloan Marketplace will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Subscription Services or any part thereof.
- Access Outside Certain Countries. Although the Sloan Marketplace Web Site and Portal may be accessible through the internet throughout the world, the Subscription Services provided or accessed through the Sloan Marketplace Web Site or Portal are not available to all persons or in all countries but only those located in the United States. Some or all of the features of the Sloan Marketplace Web Site or Portal may not work or be appropriate for use in other countries. If you choose to access the Sloan Marketplace Web Site or Portal from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and you are solely responsible for complying with all applicable Laws in such country, and you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sloan Marketplace from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) (collectively, “Claims”) arising from or relating to any breach by you of this Section. To the extent permissible by law, Sloan Marketplace accepts no responsibility or liability for any damage or loss caused by your accessing or use of the Sloan Marketplace Web Site or Portal, Products or Subscription Services outside the United States. In any event, you will be bound by these Terms wherever you access or use the Subscription Services through the Sloan Marketplace Web Site or Portal.
- Agreed Usage and Limitations of Sloan Marketplace Services
- System Requirements. The Subscription Services will not be accessible without: (i) an approved communication bridge located at the property that is positioned to wirelessly communicate reliably with the Products; (ii) an Account for any such Products; (iii) a supported computer, phone or tablet (required for some functionality); (iv) always-on wireless access at the property with bandwidth sufficient to support the Products you use; and (v) other system or network elements and requirements that may be specified by Sloan Marketplace, including on either the Portal or on the Sloan Marketplace Web Site. While the approved communication bridge may be purchased through Sloan Marketplace, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have all required system or network elements and that they are compatible and properly configured. You acknowledge that the Subscription Services may not work as described when the requirements and compatibility have not been met.
- Intended Use of Sloan Marketplace Subscription Services. The Subscription Services are intended to be accessed and used for non-time-critical information and remote management and control of Sloan Marketplace Products. While we aim for the Subscription Services to be highly reliable and available, the Subscription Services may be subject to sporadic interruptions and failures for a variety of reasons beyond Sloan Marketplace’s control, including wireless or wired Ethernet intermittency, service provider uptime, downtime of your network, among others. You acknowledge these limitations and agree that Sloan Marketplace is not responsible for any damages allegedly caused by the failure or delay of the Subscription Services.
- No Life-Safety or Critical Uses of the Subscription Services. You acknowledge and agree that the Products and Subscription Services, whether standing alone or when interfaced with third party products or services are not certified for emergency response. Sloan Marketplace makes no warranty or representation that use of the Products or Subscription Services with any third-party product or service will affect or increase any level of safety or limit damages to your property. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE PRODUCTS AND SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES, WHETHER STANDING ALONE OR WHEN INTERFACED WITH THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, ARE NOT A THIRD PARTY MONITORED EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM. SLOAN MARKETPLACE WILL NOT DISPATCH EMERGENCY AUTHORITIES TO YOUR PROPERTY IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SLOAN MARKETPLACE IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES TO YOUR PROPERTY, ITS CONTENTS OR ANY PERSONS OR PERSONAL PROPERTY. In addition, the Sloan Marketplace customer care and support contacts cannot be considered a lifesaving solution for people at risk in the property, and they are no substitute for emergency services. All life threatening and emergency events should be directed to the appropriate response services. You expressly acknowledge and agree that Sloan Marketplace is not liable for your, or any third party or emergency responders’ actions or failure to act in response to information acquired from the Products or Subscription Services. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to educate yourself about how to respond to an emergency and the information provided by the Products and Subscription Services, and to respond according to the specifics of your situation.
- Reliability of Notifications and Commands. You acknowledge that the Subscription Services, including remote access notifications and commands, are not intended to be 100% reliable or 100% available. We cannot and do not guarantee that you will receive notifications or alarms in any given time or at all or that all your commands will be properly transmitted to or carried out by the Products that are intended to receive those commands. YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT RELY ON THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES FOR ANY LIFE SAFETY OR CRITICAL PURPOSES OR PROTECTION OF PROPERTY. NOTIFICATIONS REGARDING THE STATUS AND ALARMS ON YOUR SLOAN MARKETPLACE PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY – THEY ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A THIRD PARTY MONITORED EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM. The information provided by Sloan Marketplace on what to do in an emergency is based on authoritative safety sources, but there is no way for Sloan Marketplace to provide specific information relating to a situation in your property or elsewhere.
- Temporary Suspension. The Subscription Services may be suspended temporarily without notice for security reasons, system failure, maintenance and repair, or other circumstances. You agree that you will not be entitled to any refund or rebate for such suspensions. Sloan Marketplace does not offer any specific uptime guarantee or service level agreement for the Subscription Services.
- Water Savings and other Benefits. Unless explicitly promising a “guarantee,” Sloan Marketplace does not guarantee or promise any specific level of water savings, accuracy or completeness of water related data or other Product Data, insurance discounts, rebates, or other monetary benefit from the use of the Products or Subscription Services or any feature of them. Actual water savings, water usage and monetary benefits vary with factors beyond Sloan Marketplace’s control or knowledge. From time to time, Sloan Marketplace may use the Subscription Services to provide you with information that is unique to you and/or your water usage and suggests an opportunity to save money if you adopt suggestions or features of the Product or Subscription Services. We do this to highlight an opportunity based on our analysis and information about you and your facilities. You acknowledge that these promotions are not a guarantee of actual savings, and you agree not to seek monetary or other remedies from Sloan Marketplace if your savings or water management expectations differ. You acknowledge that use of the Products or Subscription Services or any feature of them will not provide any monetary or other benefit to you. You expressly acknowledge and agree that use of the Products or Subscription Services or any feature of them is at your sole risk and that the entire risk as to satisfactory quality, performance, accuracy and effort is with you.
- Product Data Analytics. The Subscription Services provide you Content and other analytical information and reports which may also be customized for you regarding the Products and use of water in your facilities or group of facilities and if applicable, their connection with other products and services. All data analytics and Product Data are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”. We cannot guarantee that they are correct, complete or up to date. In cases where it is critical, accessing Product Data through the Subscription Services is not a substitute for direct access of the information at the property or facility. You expressly acknowledge that Sloan Marketplace is not liable for your or any other third party’s response, or lack thereof, to the Product Data or lack thereof.
- Your Warranty Regarding Your Content and Use of the Subscription Services. You warrant, represent and agree that you will not contribute any Content or otherwise use the Subscription Services or Product Data in a manner that (i) infringes or violates the intellectual property rights or proprietary rights, rights of publicity or privacy, or other rights of any third party; (ii) violates any law, statute, ordinance, code, policy or regulation; (iii) is harmful, fraudulent, deceptive, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, or otherwise objectionable; (iv) impersonates any person or entity, including without limitation any employee or representative of Sloan Marketplace; (v) contains a virus, Trojan horse, worm, time bomb, or other harmful computer code, file, or program; (vi) jeopardizes the security of your Sloan Marketplace Account or anyone else’s Account (such as allowing someone else to log in to the Subscription Services as you); (vii) attempts, in any manner, to obtain the password, account, or other security information from any other user; (viii) violates the security of any computer network, or cracks any passwords or security encryption codes; (ix) runs any form of auto-responder or “spam” on the Subscription Services, or any processes that otherwise interferes with the proper working of the Subscription Services (including by placing an unreasonable load on the Subscription Services’ infrastructure); (x) copies or stores any significant portion of the Content; (xi) exceeds the scope of the Section 3(a) Permitted Purpose or restrictions under Section 3(f); or (xii) decompiles, reverse engineers, misappropriates, uses (except as expressly authorized by these Terms), reproduces, distributes, displays or makes derivative works of any source code, underlying idea, design, brand or “look and feel” that is associated with the Product Data or Subscription Services.
- Responsibility for Content. All information publicly posted or privately transmitted through the Subscription Services is the sole responsibility of the individual from which (or from whose account) such Content originated and Sloan Marketplace will not be liable for any errors or omissions in any Content. Sloan Marketplace cannot guarantee the identity of any other users with whom you may interact using the Subscription Services. Additionally, we cannot guarantee the authenticity of any data that users may provide about themselves. You acknowledge that all Content accessed by you using the Subscription Services is at your own risk and you will be solely responsible for any damage or loss to any party resulting therefrom.

THESE TERMS INCLUDE AN AGREEMENT TO MANDATORY ARBITRATION, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT ANY DISPUTE RELATED TO YOUR PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS, SAAS SUBSCRIPTION OR ANY SERVICES AND YOUR USE OF ANY OF OUR WEBSITES TO BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN PROCEED IN COURT.

Your account will be charged thereafter on a monthly basis, in accordance with the Subscription Terms and Conditions.
3.2 If We Cannot Accept Your Order. Product and Service availability may be limited in certain areas. If we are unable to accept your order for Products and/or Services, we will inform you of this in writing or by telephone and will not charge you for the product or services that we cannot provide.

These Terms, along with the Sloan Marketplace Purchase Order (the “Purchase Order”) delivered by Sloan Marketplace constitute the entire integrated agreement between the seller of such Products and/or Services (“Seller” or “you”) and Sloan Marketplace concerning such Products and/or Services. By selling the Products or performing the Services, you represent and warrant that you have read, understood, and accepted these Terms. No change, modification, amendment, or other agreement with regard to these Terms shall be binding upon Sloan Marketplace unless made in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Sloan Marketplace.
- Construction and Order of Precedence. Except with respect to those provisions in any written agreement signed by both Buyer and Sloan Marketplace which govern the purchase of the same Products or Services described in a Purchase Order (the “Master Purchase and Sale Agreement”), and which provisions are expressly to the contrary, these Terms shall apply to, and are incorporated into, all oral or written contracts, obligations, understandings, commitments, leases, licenses, purchase orders, bids, arrangements and/or transactions between or among you and Sloan Marketplace, existing on the date hereof or hereafter executed and supersede all previous communications and understandings that are inconsistent with these Terms. Any documents other than the Master Purchase and Sale Agreement, including any documents, forms, or other terms or conditions provided heretofore or hereafter by Seller to Sloan Marketplace, which are not signed by an authorized representative of Sloan Marketplace, are not part of these Terms and shall have no effect on the parties. These Terms, the Purchase Order and if applicable, the Master Purchase and Sale Agreement, contain the entire understanding of Sloan Marketplace and Seller with respect to the subject matter thereof and may not be supplemented or modified by course of dealing, course of performance, any oral communication between the parties, or any response by Seller, whether oral or written, purporting to modify or supplement the terms of any of the foregoing documents unless such response is in writing and executed or consented to in writing by an authorized representative of Sloan Marketplace. Any ambiguity, conflict or inconsistency among the documents for the purchase and sale of any Product or Service shall be resolved according to the following order of precedence: (a) the Purchase Order; (b) if applicable, the Master Purchase and Sale Agreement or any other written agreement pertaining to the purchase and sale of the Products or Services signed by both Seller and Sloan Marketplace; and (d) these Terms.
- Scope of Work. The Products manufactured and/or the Services provided by Seller will be in strict accordance with the scope of work and specifications set forth in the Purchase Order.
- Bailment.
- All supplies, materials, machinery, equipment, tooling design files, drawings, photographic negatives and positives, artwork, copy layout, electronic data and other items, furnished by Sloan Marketplace, either directly or indirectly, to Seller or to any supplier of Seller in connection with or related to any Purchase Order, or for which Seller has been at least partially reimbursed by Sloan Marketplace (collectively, and as may be modified from time to time, the “Bailed Property”) is and will at all times remain the property of Sloan Marketplace and be held by Seller on a bailment-at-will basis.
- Only Sloan Marketplace has any right, title or interest in and to Bailed Property, except for Seller’s limited right, subject to Sloan Marketplace’s sole discretion, to use the Bailed Property solely in the performance of Seller’s obligations under these Terms. Seller shall bear the risk of loss of and damage to Sloan Marketplace’s Bailed Property; the Bailed Property shall at all times be properly housed and maintained by Seller; shall be conspicuously marked “Property of Sloan Marketplace” by Seller; shall not be commingled with the property of Seller or any third-party; and shall not be moved from Seller’s premises without the prior written approval by Sloan Marketplace. Sloan Marketplace may, at any time, for any reason and without payment of any kind, retake possession of any Bailed Property without the necessity of payment or notice to Seller, or a hearing or a court order, which rights, if any, are waived by Seller. Upon the expiration or termination of the Purchase Order, or upon Sloan Marketplace’s request, Seller must immediately cease all use of the Bailed Property and promptly release the same to Sloan Marketplace or deliver such Bailed Property to Sloan Marketplace to any location designated by Sloan Marketplace, in which event Sloan Marketplace shall pay to Seller the reasonable cost of delivery. Seller’s continued use of or holding of Bailed Property after demand has been made by Sloan Marketplace for delivery will substantially impair the value thereof, and, accordingly, Sloan Marketplace will be entitled to a court order of possession without any need or proving damages or a bond. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Seller shall not allow any encumbrance to be imposed on or attach to the Bailed Property through Seller or as a result of Seller’s action or inaction, and Seller hereby waives any encumbrance that it may have or acquire in the Bailed Property.

No increase in the Price is effective, whether due to increased material, labor, or transportation costs, or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Sloan Marketplace.
- Payment. Unless otherwise specified in the Purchase Order, Seller shall issue an invoice to Sloan Marketplace on or any time after the completion of delivery of the Products and/or of the Services, as applicable.

The parties shall seek to resolve any payment disputes expeditiously and in good faith. Seller shall continue performing its obligations under these Terms notwithstanding any such dispute. Sloan Marketplace has no obligation to pay any amount first invoiced more than six (6) months after such amount accrued. Seller shall, if Sloan Marketplace desires, accept all payments in U.S. Dollars. Sloan Marketplace may make payments using “Electronic Funds Transfer” (“EFT”) or ePayables (credit card settlement), in which case Seller shall complete and deliver such applications and authorizations as Sloan Marketplace customarily requires for these purposes.

Seller shall deliver all Products to the shipping address specified in the Purchase Order (the “Delivery Point”) during Sloan Marketplace’s normal business hours or as otherwise instructed by Sloan Marketplace. Seller shall pack all goods for shipment according to Sloan Marketplace’s instructions or, if there are no instructions, in a manner sufficient to ensure that the Products are delivered in undamaged condition. Seller must provide Sloan Marketplace prior written notice if it requires Sloan Marketplace to return any packaging material. Any return of such packaging material shall be made at Seller’s risk of loss and expense. Seller shall provide the Services to Sloan Marketplace as described and in accordance with the schedule set forth on the applicable Purchase Order. Seller acknowledges that time is of the essence with respect to Seller’s obligations hereunder and the timely delivery of the Products and Services, including all performance dates, timetables, project milestones and other requirements in the Purchase Order and these Terms. Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Order, Seller shall ship the Products to Sloan Marketplace’s facility, FCA (Incoterms 2020). Shipments and packaging will comply with Sloan Marketplace’s packaging guidelines and shall comply with applicable law. Shipments sent C.O.D. without Sloan Marketplace’s written consent will not be accepted and will be at Seller’s risk. Shipments will comply with Sloan Marketplace’s freight routing guides when using Sloan Marketplace’s freight accounts. If freight policy is not properly followed by Seller, Sloan Marketplace reserves the right to charge back the Seller for freight expenses. If Seller is unable to meet the required Due Date with normal modes of transportation, Seller is responsible for all costs associated with expedited freight.
- Late Delivery and Penalty. Without limitation of its rights in Section 7 above, Sloan Marketplace may, in its discretion, agree to accept a late delivery; provided, that Sloan Marketplace shall get a credit, for every five (5) days of delay, a penalty amounting to one percent (1%) of the total value of the Products whose shipment has been delayed. Any fractional part of a week is to be considered as a full week. The total amount of penalty shall not, however, exceed ten percent (10%) of the total value of the Products involved in late shipment and is to be deducted from the amount due at the time of payment.
- Title and Risk of Loss. Title and risk of loss passes to Sloan Marketplace upon delivery of the Products at the Delivery Point.
- Inspection. Sloan Marketplace has the right to inspect the Products on or after the Due Date. Sloan Marketplace, at its sole option, may inspect all or a sample of the Products, and may reject all or any portion of the Products if it determines the Products are nonconforming or defective. If Sloan Marketplace rejects any portion of the Products, Sloan Marketplace has the right, effective upon written notice to Seller, to: (a) terminate the applicable Purchase Order in its entirety; (b) accept the Products at a reasonably reduced price; or (c) reject the nonconforming or defective Products and require replacement of such rejected Products in accordance with Section 15 below. Any payment in full for the Products, inspection or other action by Sloan Marketplace under this Section 10 shall not reduce or otherwise affect Sloan Marketplace’s rights or Seller’s obligations under these Terms. Without limitation of the foregoing, Sloan Marketplace shall have the right to conduct further inspections after Seller has carried out its remedial actions.
- Change Orders. Seller shall not make any changes or substitutions to the Products or Services ordered under any Purchase Order without the prior written consent of Sloan Marketplace, through its authorized representative. Sloan Marketplace may at any time, by written instructions and/or drawings issued to Seller (each a “Change Order”), order changes to the Services or the Products. Seller shall within the requested time frame, and if one is not stated, then within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of a Change Order submit to Sloan Marketplace any change in cost for the Change Order. If Sloan Marketplace accepts such cost proposal, Seller shall proceed with the changed Products or Services subject to the cost proposal and these Terms. Seller acknowledges that a Change Order may or may not entitle Seller to an adjustment in the Seller’s compensation or the performance deadlines under these Terms.
- Discontinued Products. Seller is a critical supplier to Sloan Marketplace, and Sloan Marketplace relies on Seller’s Products to fulfill orders to third-party customers, which orders contain specific requirements. Accordingly, any changes in the Products may impact Sloan Marketplace’s ability to comply with its obligations to third parties. Seller shall therefore notify Sloan Marketplace at least ninety (90) days in advance and in writing of all changes in raw materials or their source, formulation, manufacturing location, manufacturing methods or processes, packaging, shelf life, or other changes to any Products delivered pursuant to any applicable Purchase Order. Further, Seller shall notify Sloan Marketplace at least ninety (90) days prior to the discontinuance of any Products. At a minimum, for ninety (90) days after Seller’s last delivery of a Product that will be discontinued, Seller will provide such Product for Sloan Marketplace in accordance with Sloan Marketplace’s Purchase Orders. Discontinuance or change to the specifications of a Product shall not alter any warranty on such Product.
- Permitted Subcontractors. Seller shall obtain Sloan Marketplace’s written consent prior to entering into agreements with or otherwise engaging any person or entity, including all subcontractors and Affiliates of Seller, other than Seller’s employees, to provide any Services to Sloan Marketplace (each such approved subcontractor or other third-party, a “Permitted Subcontractor”). Sloan Marketplace’s approval shall not relieve Seller of its obligations under these Terms, and Seller shall remain fully responsible for the performance of each such Permitted Subcontractor and its employees and for their compliance with all of the terms and conditions of these Terms as if they were Seller’s own employees. Nothing contained in these Terms shall create any contractual relationship between Sloan Marketplace and any Permitted Subcontractor or supplier.
- Deliverables. Seller agrees Sloan Marketplace will exclusively own all Deliverables. Any copyrightable aspects of Deliverables are “works made for hire” to the full extent permitted by law. If any Deliverables are determined not to be owned by Sloan Marketplace, Seller shall assign to Sloan Marketplace Seller’s entire right, title and interest in all Deliverables and all intellectual property rights therein. Seller shall execute any documents in connection with such assignment that Sloan Marketplace may reasonably request. Seller appoints Sloan Marketplace its attorney-in-fact to execute assignments of, and register all rights to, the Deliverables and the intellectual property rights therein. Seller shall obtain, and provide to Sloan Marketplace upon request, agreements with each contributor to the Deliverables consistent with these obligations and shall enforce such agreements. For purposes hereof, “Deliverables” means the output of Seller’s Services to Sloan Marketplace, including all materials, ideas, concepts, know-how and other embodiments thereof (e.g., all equipment, software, improvements to real estate, results, patentable and non-patentable concepts, findings, data, analysis documentation and reports), and any improvements to any of the foregoing, in each case, whether tangible or intangible, whether newly created or pre-existing and regardless of the state of completion.

RETURN MATERIAL AUTHORIZATION
At Sloan®, our goal is to ensure our customers are satisfied with their purchase. Our products are manufactured under the highest quality standards and are all backed by a limited warranty. If a product is found defective prior to or during installation, Sloan may issue a return material authorization (RMA) number and credit in exchange for the defective product.
Should the customer require a part to repair a product, the part should not be taken from another finished good unit. Refer the customer to Sloan Technical Support at 1-888-SLOAN14 (1-888-756-2614) or via email at techsupport@sloan.com. Parts in stock are usually sent out within 24 hours and customers will receive parts within 3 to 7 business days.
For non-inventoried items lead times may vary. Parts that are needed sooner will be handled on a per case basis.
If, after contacting Technical Support, the determination is made that a product cannot be serviced, a return and credit may be requested from the place of purchase. Credits will only be issued to a current Sloan distributor.
Upon receipt of the returned product, Sloan will inspect and test the product prior to issuing credit. Credit may be denied under the following conditions:
- The product returned does not match the RMA
- The returned unit is missing components
- The returned unit has been cannibalized
- The returned unit is out of the warranty period
- The product has been damaged via field service or installation
- The returned unit is not manufactured by Sloan
- The product is not defective
Defective Product
If a product is defective, the customer must include with its claim a specific description of the defect. For example, ‘Doesn’t work’ is not acceptable. ‘Faucet not activating’ would be a more appropriate description. If no apparent defect is found, the customer may be contacted to clarify the reason for the return.
Do not initiate a debit memo or make any deductions. Wait for a credit memo to be issued. As described above, full credit may be denied in some circumstances.
All Other Return Reasons and General Return Information:
- If the product is not received by Sloan within 30 days of creating the RMA, the RMA will expire.
- Credit is usually processed within 15 business days of product receipt
- Products which are determined to be defective or shipped incorrectly by Sloan will be credited at invoice price in addition to the return freight charge. Products returned for reasons other than defects or Sloan errors are subject to a minimum 25% handling charge, return freight is at customer’s expense. If the invoice is not available, then credit will be issued based on the previous price sheet if the price sheet is less than one year old.
- All returns must be authorized by the factory prior to returning. The factory will issue an RMA number along with correct return address.
- The RMA number must be visible on the outside of each carton being returned.
- All order cancellations and returns of special finish products NOT included in the Special Finishes Section of the price list are considered special order items and are subject to a minimum 50% handling charge and must be returned within one year, original invoice required.
- Custom sink orders are not returnable. For more detail refer to Sink Cancellation and Return Policy below.
- All returned material should be returned in the original, unopened shipping cartons or suitably packed. The material is to be packaged such that it will not be damaged during the return.

- Deductions will be made for any material returned that is not in saleable condition. Material not in saleable condition will be returned to customer or scrapped at customer request.
- When material is to be returned, call your representative, who will contact the factory for an RMA number. The following information is necessary when requesting an RMA: Invoice Number Product Code Number Product Part Number Product Date Code Quantity
