These Terms and each of its parts evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) (9 USC §1, et. seq.) will apply in all cases and govern the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration rules and arbitration proceedings. The arbitration shall be held at a location determined by AAA pursuant to the Rules and Procedures (provided such location is reasonably convenient for you), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed by the you and Emerson. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. In addition to and notwithstanding the terms stated above, the following will apply to your dispute(s): (1) the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, provincial or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement including any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable; (2) the arbitrator will not have the power to conduct any form of class or collective arbitration nor join or consolidate claims by or for individuals; (3) the arbitrator’s decision shall be controlled by these Terms and conditions and any of the other agreements referenced herein that you may have entered into in connection with the Services; (4) the arbitrator shall apply Missouri law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (5) to the extent permitted by law, the arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive, incidental, or consequential damages against you or Emerson; (6) in the event that the administrative fees and deposits that must be paid to initiate arbitration against Emerson exceed $125.00 USD for claims less than $10,000 or $375.00 for claims greater than $10,000 but less than $75,000, and you are unable (or not required under the applicable Rules and Procedures) to pay any fees and deposits that exceed this amount, Emerson agrees to pay them and/or forward them on your behalf, subject to ultimate allocation by the arbitrator. In addition, if you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Emerson will pay as much of the filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive; and (7) with the exception of subpart (3) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures established by AAA, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart (3) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor Emerson shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute.

14. CHARGES AND BILLINGS FOR PAID SERVICE SUBSCRIPTIONS: If you sign up for additional add-on Sensi Services that are Service Subscriptions directly with Emerson, not a third-party or contractor, additional terms and conditions apply and may be found within the specific portals or applications of that paid Service Subscription, or by separate agreement between you and Emerson. The additional terms, in combination with these Terms, will constitute the entire Terms of Service Agreement for the Product or Services, including any paid Service Subscriptions. If you sign up for a paid service with a third-party or contractor, terms of that relationship are between you and the third-party and not with Emerson. You acknowledge that you may incur charges with third-party service providers or contractors. These may include charges resulting from accessing the Internet, purchasing or subscribing to other offerings via the Internet or purchasing equipment for use with or recommended by the Service. You are solely responsible for all charges payable to third parties, including all applicable taxes.

15. NOTICE METHOD: You agree to accept all communications from Emerson regarding use of the Services at the address and/or email address you provide during registration. Please promptly update any changes to your account registration information. Emerson is entitled to rely on the email address and mailing address that you last provided to Emerson. You agree to waive all claims resulting from failure to receive communications because of changes in your email or mailing address. From time to time Emerson would like to send you information about Emerson products and services. If you register for a Service, you are granting Emerson permission to communicate with you by email. Emerson may provide you any notice on your monthly bill, as a bill insert, using the email address you have provided to Emerson, using the Sensi portal, or other communication permitted under applicable law.

You agree to be bound by any affirmation, assent, or agreement you transmit through the Services you access by computer or other electronic device, including internet, telephonic, and wireless devices, including but not limited to any consent you give to receive communications from Emerson solely through electronic transmission. You agree that, when in the future you click on an “I agree,” “I consent,” or other similarly worded “button” or entry field with your finger, mouse, keystroke, or other device, your agreement or consent will be legally binding and enforceable and the legal equivalent of your handwritten signature.

16. NUCLEAR/MEDICAL: GOODS AND SERVICES SOLD HEREUNDER ARE NOT FOR USE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY NUCLEAR, MEDICAL, LIFE-SUPPORT, AND RELATED APPLICATIONS. You accept the Services with the foregoing understanding, agrees to communicate the same in writing to any subsequent purchaser or users and to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Emerson from any claims, losses, suits, judgments, and damages, including incidental and consequential damages, arising from such use, whether the cause of action be based in tort, contract, or otherwise, including allegations that Emerson’s liability is based on negligence or strict liability.
