4.1. Hardware Costs.
4.1.1. Hardware Product Costs. You will be charged for Kisi Hardware at the time of purchase and as included in the applicable Order Form, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by you and Kisi or Reseller. Once charged, your Hardware will be subject to the Hardware Warranty and Return policy included in Section 5 of these Terms. These Hardware charges are exclusive of any fees you incur in the installation of Kisi Products and Software License charges and fees.
4.1.2. Installation Costs. Kisi relies on Resellers (or other third parties) for installation services. Any services around installation are provided by Resellers (and other third parties) and any costs related thereto will be settled between Customer and Reseller(s) (and other third parties, as applicable).
4.2. Software Fees.
4.2.1. Software License Fees. All fees for Subscriptions, license quantities, conditional pricing, Minimum Commitments, True-Ups, renewals, and any Fallback Rate are governed exclusively by the Order Form. You agree to pay Kisi the license fees for usage of the Software as stated in the applicable Order Form, in U.S. dollars, unless another currency is specified in the Order Form. All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, duties, or charges unless otherwise stated. Software License Fees may include conditional pricing constructs as set forth on the applicable Order Form (including a Minimum Commitment, Rollout Period pricing, a True-Up Payment, and a Fallback Rate). To the extent an Order Form includes such constructs, Section 4.13 applies. Fees for Support are included in the cost of the License unless otherwise agreed upon by you and Kisi in writing. As part of a Support case, Kisi’s Support team may access the Customer's account to the extent necessary to solve Customer’s Support case.
4.2.2. Software License Upgrades. Plan features and any automatic upgrades or overage handling are governed by the Order Form or as configured in the Product; any associated fees are charged per the Order Form.
4.2.3. Payment Terms. Invoices submitted by Kisi are due on receipt unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form. Kisi will not be required to utilize yours or a third-party’s billing application(s) in order to receive payment, and you agree that (a) Kisi may invoice you for any processing fees for any such billing mechanism that Kisi agrees to use; and (b) you are responsible for any wire transfer fees. Unpaid invoices are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower. If you dispute any charges you must let Kisi know within thirty (30) days after the date that Kisi invoices you; otherwise, such charges shall be considered undisputed and fully owed by you. If an Order Form specifies a Commitment Date, Customer authorizes Kisi to issue an invoice for any True-Up Payment on or after the Commitment Date and to collect such invoice via Auto-Pay pursuant to Section 4.12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, amounts due for True-Up Payments are non-cancellable and non-refundable, except as expressly set forth in Sections 7.3–7.5. The provision of Services under an Order Form is subject to timely payment and satisfactory credit approval of the Customer. Credit approval may be withdrawn upon written notice by Kisi, at any time.
4.2.4. Overdue Payments; Suspension Process. If any undisputed invoice remains unpaid after its due date, Kisi’s suspension procedures under Section 7.3 (Suspension) may apply. Such procedures may include varying levels of account limitations up to and including complete disconnection of Customer’s Services, rendering all hardware and software inoperable. Services will be restored upon full payment of all outstanding amounts and applicable fees.
4.3. Taxes. Customer is responsible for all taxes, duties or other fees imposed, assessed or collected by or under the authority of any governmental body (“Taxes”) imposed on the transaction for the purchase, license or use of the Hardware or the delivery of Services (except Taxes based on Kisi’s net income or otherwise statutorily imposed on Kisi). These Taxes include, but are not limited to, sales, value-added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST), and any other applicable taxes.
4.4. Tax Exemptions. If Customer claims exemption from any applicable Taxes, Customer must provide valid and current tax exemption documentation to Kisi prior to invoicing and upon entering into a contract. Failure to provide the necessary documentation before invoicing may result in Taxes being applied to the invoice, and Kisi shall have no obligation to refund or credit any Taxes collected due to the absence of valid exemption documentation. Customer is responsible for ensuring that exemption documentation remains valid and up to date.
4.5. Withholding Taxes. If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any payment to us by law, you shall be entitled to withhold and remit such Taxes to the appropriate government authority. You agree to provide us with official receipts issued by the appropriate government authority or other such evidence as we may reasonably request to establish that such Taxes have been paid.
4.6. Import and Export Duties. You are responsible for all duties, tariffs, and similar charges imposed on the import and export of the hardware or related software, including any customs clearance costs.
4.7. Hardware Regulatory Fees. Certain jurisdictions may require payment of additional fees related to your usage of the Hardware, including but not limited to recycling fees, environmental handling fees, or other regulatory assessments. You are responsible for any such fees where applicable.
4.8. Changes in Taxes or Fees. If any new Taxes or regulatory fees are imposed, or if the applicable rate of any Taxes or fees changes, we reserve the right to adjust the prices to reflect these changes.
4.9. Disputes Related to Taxes. If any dispute arises concerning the application or calculation of Taxes, you agree to work with us to resolve the dispute in accordance with applicable law. However, your payment obligations under this section shall not be contingent upon the resolution of such disputes.
4.10. Duplicative Uploads. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for payment for any Services performed because of an accidental duplicative upload of Customer Content or your selection of the incorrect service type.
4.11. Auto-Pay Requirement. Unless an alternative payment arrangement is agreed to by Kisi in a Kisi Order Form, Customer is required to enroll in automatic payment (“Auto-Pay”) for all fees under this Agreement, including recurring fees for Services or subscription and one-time invoices for non-recurring charges, such as hardware purchases or professional services. Auto-Pay also applies to any True-Up Payment, and any Fallback Rate renewals or charges. By enrolling in Auto-Pay, Customer authorizes Kisi to automatically charge the designated payment method on file for all invoices on or after the due date. Customer is responsible for ensuring that the payment method remains valid and up to date. If an Auto-Pay transaction fails due to an expired or invalid payment method, Kisi may (i) charge any other payment method on file, (ii) suspend Services or withhold delivery of products until payment is received, or (iii) apply late fees in accordance with Section 4.2.
4.12. Order Acceptance. All orders for Kisi products and services (each, an “Order”) are deemed accepted—and become a binding contract—on the earliest of: (i) execution of the Order Form by both parties, (ii) Kisi’s provisioning of any Services under the Order, or (iii) Customer’s payment. For clarity, an accepted Order Form that includes a Minimum Commitment creates a binding purchase obligation regardless of whether all amounts are prepaid.
4.13. Conditional Pricing; Minimum Commitment; True-Up; Fallback Rate.
4.13.1. Minimum Commitment; Rollout Period. If the Order Form specifies a Minimum Commitment and a Commitment Date, Customer agrees to purchase no fewer than the Minimum Commitment of Licenses by the Commitment Date. During the Rollout Period, Customer may add any number of Licenses at the Discounted Rate, provided the account is in good standing. For purposes of this Agreement: (i) “License” means the unit of subscription identified on the Order Form, (ii) “Minimum Commitment” means the minimum number of Licenses Customer agrees to purchase as stated in the Order Form, (iii) “Commitment Date” means the date by which the Minimum Commitment must be met, as stated in the Order Form, (iv) “Rollout Period” means the period from the Order Form Effective Date through (and including) the Commitment Date, (v) “Discounted Rate” means the per-License rate specified on the Order Form that applies during the Rollout Period and, after the Commitment Date, if Customer has met or exceeded the Minimum Commitment, and (vi) “Fallback Rate” means the per-License rate specified on the Order Form that applies after the Commitment Date if Customer has not met the Minimum Commitment.
4.13.2. Measurement. On the Commitment Date, Kisi will determine the total number of Licenses purchased by Customer under the Order to date.
4.13.3. True-Up Payment. If the total purchased Licenses are fewer than the Minimum Commitment, Kisi will invoice Customer for the shortfall (the “True-Up Payment”) so that Customer has paid for no fewer than the Minimum Commitment. The True-Up Payment is due in accordance with Section 4.2.3 and collected via Auto-Pay under Section 4.11.
4.13.4. Post-Commitment Pricing. Following the Commitment Date: (i) if Customer has fewer than the Minimum Commitment number of Licenses, all active and additional Licenses will renew and bill at the Fallback Rate going forward; and (ii) if Customer has met or exceeded the Minimum Commitment, active and additional Licenses will continue at the Discounted Rate through the remainder of the Subscription Term, subject to renewal pricing thereafter.
4.14. Non-cancellable; No Refunds. Subscriptions are non-cancellable during the applicable Subscription Term, and no refunds or credits will be issued for prepaid or unused Licenses, except as expressly provided in Sections 7.3–7.5.
4.15. Audit/Verification. Kisi may, upon reasonable notice, review usage and billing records to verify License counts and fees. Kisi may also monitor usage electronically through its systems and logs at any time to ensure compliance with this Agreement. Customer will reasonably cooperate with Kisi in any such verification. Any underpayment or other discrepancy identified will be invoiced and payable in accordance with Section 3.3.
5. Hardware Installation, Warranty & Returns
5.1. Hardware Installation. Kisi may suggest a third party installation service provider. Installation time will vary and is entirely dependent on the third party’s availability. Kisi hereby disclaims liability for any act, omission, or error of the third-party installer and does not guarantee the work of any third-party installer procured from Kisi recommendations. Your sole recourse will be against such third-party installer and the terms of any agreement between you and such third-party installer will govern. Hardware may also be self-installed. Additional terms regarding both Hardware and Product Installation are available at https://www.getkisi.com/docs. For the purpose of clarity and avoidance of doubt, you are solely responsible for the proper installation of the Hardware and hereby waive any right to make claims against Kisi for improper installation.
5.2. Hardware Warranty. Kisi represents to the original purchaser and user of the Hardware that, for five (5) years, or for the period set forth as otherwise set forth in the applicable Documentation from the date of shipment to the location specified on the Purchase Order, the Hardware will be substantially free of defects in materials and workmanship (“Hardware Warranty”). This Hardware Warranty does not apply, and will be deemed void, if any defect or failure results from: (a) improper installation, handling, storage, or maintenance; (b) modification, alteration, or repair by anyone other than Kisi or its authorized service providers; (c) use of the Hardware with non-approved equipment, accessories, or software; (d) accident, abuse, negligence, electrical surge, water damage, or other external causes; or (e) any “customer-induced damage,” including, without limitation, the cutting or improper termination of cables, tampering with wiring, or physical damage to the device enclosure. Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing warranty applies to hardware manufactured by Kisi; to the extent that Customer purchases third-party hardware directly from Kisi, Customer agrees that the warranty provided by the manufacturer of such third party hardware is applicable and such warranty terms may differ from Kisi’s hardware warranty stated herein.
5.3. Remedies. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and Kisi’s (and its suppliers’ and licensors') sole and exclusive liability for a breach of the Hardware Warranty will be, in Kisi’s sole discretion, to replace the non-conforming Hardware. Replacement may be made with a new or refurbished product or components. If the Hardware or a component within it is no longer available, then Kisi may replace the Hardware unit with a similar product of similar function. Any Hardware unit that has been replaced under the Hardware Warranty will be covered by the terms of the Hardware Warranty for the longer of (a) 90 days from the date of the delivery, or (b) the remainder of the original Hardware Warranty period.
5.4. Exclusions. The Hardware Warranty does not extend to any non-Kisi proprietary equipment or end of life equipment. These would include the door locks, components on the door locks, and/or any other physical access control system working on the same doors as the Kisi system. Non-Kisi proprietary equipment would be subjected to the warranty terms and conditions of the respective manufacturer.
5.5. Warranty Expiration. Kisi will not be liable for malfunctions on the Hardware once the warranty expires. You will need to purchase new Hardware if you need a replacement on any part of your Kisi system. You will also be liable for any installation costs associated with replacing your existing Hardware with a new one.
5.6. Product Lifecycle & Hardware Warranty
5.6.1. End of Sales. Kisi may discontinue certain hardware models (for example, CPRO1, RPRO1, RPRO2.0) as new generations are introduced. End of Sales does not affect existing devices — they remain supported and functional until End of Service.
5.6.2. End of Service (Decommissioning). If a Kisi device becomes incompatible with the Kisi cloud due to platform or security requirements, Kisi will offer transition options based on the remaining warranty coverage as follows:
5.6.2.1. Within the first year of warranty coverage: Kisi will provide an equivalent replacement device free of charge.
5.6.2.2. After the first year but within three years of warranty coverage: Kisi will offer an equivalent or functionally compatible device at a discounted rate.
5.6.2.3. After three years and irrespective of the warranty coverage period described in Section 5.2: Customers may purchase new hardware from Kisi at standard pricing.
5.6.2.4. In any of the foregoing circumstances, Kisi may, at its discretion, provide refurbished or newer-generation hardware as an equivalent replacement.
5.6.3. Scope & Third-Party Hardware. This policy applies only to Kisi-manufactured hardware. Kisi does not assume responsibility for third-party hardware or accessories, including compatibility, continued operation, or warranty coverage. Issues related to such products are subject to the original manufacturer’s terms and conditions including without limitation any warranty coverage.
5.6.4. Updates. Kisi reserves the right to update this decommissioning policy as technology, security standards, or service requirements evolve.
5.7. Hardware Returns. Customer may return Products purchased directly from Kisi within 30 days from the date of the applicable Purchase Order for any reason. Thereafter, to request a return under the Hardware Warranty, Customer must notify Kisi or, if the Products were purchased from a Reseller, the Customer must notify the Reseller, within the Hardware Warranty period. To initiate a return of a Product purchased directly from Kisi directly to Kisi, Customer or Reseller must send a return request to Kisi at support@getkisi.com and clearly state details on where and when Customer purchased the Hardware, the serial numbers of the applicable Hardware unit(s), Customer’s reason for returning the Hardware, and Customer’s name, mailing address, email address, and daytime phone number. Kisi reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to approve or deny a Hardware Return under the Hardware Warranty. All Hardware Returns will be at your own cost and expense. To be eligible for a refund under the Hardware Warranty, all components of the Hardware must be returned to Kisi, and Kisi reserves the right to inspect all returned Hardware prior to issuing a refund. In the event Kisi determines that the Hardware return reason was not eligible, Kisi may decline to issue a refund. For clarity, Hardware returns do not relieve Customer of any Subscription obligations under the Order Form/MSA unless expressly stated therein.
5.8. Replacement Fee for Functional or Damaged Returns. If Customer returns Hardware within the initial return period under Section 5.7 and Kisi determines that such Hardware is damaged, altered, or otherwise not in its original condition due to misuse, improper installation, or negligence, Kisi may, in its sole discretion, charge Customer a repair or replacement fee or offset such fee against any refund otherwise due. Kisi will notify Customer in writing of any such fee prior to charging or offsetting amounts under this Section. Likewise, in the event Customer returns defective Hardware to Kisi without prior approval from Kisi’s Support team, Kisi reserves the right to charge Customer a replacement fee.
6. Ownership
6.1. Customer Ownership. Kisi acknowledges and agrees that, as between Customer and Kisi, Customer owns all rights, title and interest (including all rights associated with patents and inventions; copyrights, and other works of authorship (including moral rights)); trademarks, service marks, trade dress, trade names, logos and other source identifiers; trade secrets; and all other intellectual property (“Intellectual Property Rights”) in and to (a) the Customer Content; and (b) any translations, transcriptions, or captions or any derivative work of such Customer Content created through the Services (“Work Product”).
6.2. Kisi Ownership. Customer acknowledges and agrees that, as between Kisi and Customer, Kisi owns all right, title and interest (including all Intellectual Property Rights) in and to (a) the Platform; (b) Kisi’s software, and all improvements, enhancements or modifications to it; (c) the Kisi APIs and any software accessible through the Platform; (d) all information, text, links, graphics, photos, audio, video, and other forms of data or communication that users can view, access or otherwise interact with through the Services (except for Customer Content and Work Product); and (e) any and all Intellectual Property Rights related to the Hardware and Software.
6.3. Feedback. You are not obligated to provide Kisi with any suggestions, comments, ideas, improvements or other feedback relating to the Services (“Feedback”). That said, if you (including Authorized Users and End Users) do provide Feedback to Kisi, (a) you acknowledge and agree that Feedback is non-confidential and provided voluntarily by you; and (b) you grant to Kisi a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to any ideas, know-how, concepts, techniques, or other Intellectual Property Rights contained in the Feedback, for usage by Kisi for any purpose whatsoever, including, without limitation, for the improvement, marketing, and promotion of the Services.
6.4. Reservation of Rights. Each of the parties reserves all rights not expressly granted under this Agreement.
7. Term and Termination
7.1. Term and Order Form Term. This MSA is effective on the effective date of the first Order Form (“Order Form Effective Date”) executed by Customer and Kisi, and will remain in effect until terminated in accordance with its terms (the “Initial Term”). Each Order Form will automatically renew for successive periods equal to the initial billing term specified in the applicable Order Form unless: (i) Otherwise stated in the Order Form or this Agreement; or (ii) either party provides the other with written notification of intent to terminate at least thirty (30) days before the end of the then-current Order Form Term (the Initial Term of the Order Form and any subsequent renewal terms, the “Order Form Term”). For clarity, the “Subscription Term” equals the Order Form Term. Renewal pricing will be at Kisi’s then-current rates unless otherwise stated on the Order Form.
7.2. Automatic Annual Price Increase. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, upon each renewal of the applicable Subscription Term, the then-current fees for the Services will be subject to an automatic price increase of up to 10% over the fees applicable during the immediately preceding Subscription Term, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties. This annual price adjustment will continue to apply for so long as the Customer remains subscribed to the Services. Separately, we reserve the right to phase out certain plans at our sole discretion. In such event, we will provide you with thirty (30) days written notice and suggest a new plan which may include different pricing and features. Upon receipt of such written notice, you will have the opportunity to opt-out of the new plan before the end of the notice period.
7.3. Suspension. We reserve the right to suspend your access to the Services: (a) in the event of your breach of Section 3.3 (Restrictions) or your failure to pay undisputed fees when due; (b) to prevent damage to, or degradation of, the Services, or unauthorized access to Customer Content; (c) to comply with Applicable Law; or (d) if our relationship with a third-party services provider expires, terminates for any reason, or requires us to change the way we provide any part of the Services. We will use reasonable efforts to provide you with prior notice of any suspension of the Services, and will restore access to the Services as soon as practicable following the satisfactory resolution of the event giving rise to suspension. If Kisi suspends Services pursuant to subsection (a) above, (i) you remain responsible for all fees you have committed to for the Order Form Term; (ii) if you do not fully address the reasons for the suspension within thirty (30) days after we suspend, we may immediately terminate your license; and (iii) reinstatement of Services after suspension due to non-payment will be subject to a reinstatement fee of $250, in addition to any outstanding balance and applicable late fees. For clarity, suspension due to non-payment may occur in two phases: a “soft shutoff” and a “hard shutoff,” as described in Section 4.2.4. If Kisi suspends Services pursuant to subsections (b) through (d) above, and we are unable to provide you with Services for which you’ve prepaid during the applicable Order Form Term, we will refund you for any unused prepayments, as applicable, for Services you were unable to access during the suspension period.
7.4. Termination for Cause. This MSA or an Order Form may be terminated (a) by the non-breaching party upon a material breach of this Agreement by the other party, which breach, if curable, is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the non-breaching party; (b) by Kisi immediately upon notice if necessary under subsections (b) through (d) of Section 7.3 (Suspension); or (c) by either party if the other party becomes insolvent or bankrupt; becomes the subject of any proceedings under bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor relief law; has a receiver or manager appointed; makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or takes the benefit of any Applicable Law in force for the winding up or liquidation of such party’s business.
7.5. Effect of Termination. Termination of an Order Form does not terminate this MSA or any other Order Form; however, termination of this MSA will result in the immediate termination of all Order Forms. Upon termination, any unpaid balance under any Order Form will immediately become due and payable and all remaining prepaid credits under any Order Form will expire; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated by you for Kisi’s uncured material breach under Section 7.4(a) above Kisi will refund you, as applicable, any unused prepaid credits as of the date of termination, or other prepaid fee for the applicable Order Form Term prorated from the date of termination. Any provision that, by its terms, is intended to survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement will survive such expiration or termination, including without limitation Sections 6 (Ownership); 7.5 (Effect of Termination), 8 (Representations; Services Warranty); 9 (Indemnification); 10 (Limitation of Liability); 11 (Confidential Information; Data Protection); 11.6 (Publicity) and 12 (Governing Law; General).
7.6. Non-Cancellability; Quantity Reductions.

If either Kisi or Customer receives a court subpoena, request for production of documents, court order or requirement of a government agency to disclose any Confidential Information, the recipient will give prompt written notice to the other party so that the request can be challenged or limited in scope by Kisi or Customer, as appropriate.
11.3. Data Protection.

12. Governing Law; General
12.1. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York, excluding its conflicts of laws provisions. If any disputes arise, the parties will first attempt to resolve the dispute informally via good faith negotiation. If the dispute has not been resolved after 30 days, the parties will resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) by binding confidential arbitration before a single arbitrator administered by JAMS, its successors and assigns, in New York County, New York, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, and pursuant to its arbitration rules. Each party will be responsible for paying any arbitration fees in accordance with the foregoing rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator may include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of its data security, intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights.

Either party may assign this Agreement to an Affiliate or a successor-in-interest that is not a competitor of the non-assigning party in connection with (a) the sale of all or substantially all of the assigning party’s assets; (b) any change in the ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the assigning party’s voting capital stock in one or more related transactions; or (c) the assigning party’s merger with or acquisition by such successor-in-interest. Except for the assignments set forth in the foregoing sentence, neither party will assign the Agreement in whole or in part without the other party’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably denied, delayed or conditioned). Any attempted assignment in violation of this restriction is void. The Agreement will bind and insure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.
12.3. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous oral or written negotiations or agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof.

12.4. MSA Updates. Kisi may update this Agreement from time to time by posting an updated version at https://www.getkisi.com/legal/msa and providing written notice thereof to Customer. Continued use of the Products after such posting constitutes acceptance of the updated Agreement and such updates will apply to (i) new Order Forms entered into after the updated Agreement is posted, and (ii) renewals of existing Order Forms, unless otherwise agreed in writing; provided, however, any attempt to amend, modify or vary the terms of any Order Form not signed by the authorized representatives of both parties and referencing this Agreement will be void.

A notice regarding termination of the Agreement for breach, indemnification, or other legal matter must be sent by electronic mail or overnight postal or courier service, if to Customer at the billing address or email address set forth on the Order Form or the address in Customer’s account records, and if to Kisi at compliance-team@getkisi.com, Attn: General Counsel. Kisi’s routine communications regarding the Services and legal notices will be posted on Kisi’s customer portal or sent by email or post to the individual(s) Customer designates as contact(s) on Customer’s account. Notices are deemed received as of the time posted or delivered, or if that time does not fall within a business day, as of the beginning of the first business day following the time posted or delivered. To count days for notice periods, the business day on which the notice is deemed received counts as the first day.
12.7. No Waiver. The failure of either party to require strict performance by the other party of any provision of this document will not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter, nor will the waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this document be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.
12.8. Interpretation. In the Agreement, the words “include” and “including” will not be construed as terms of limitation.
12.9. Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is unenforceable, that provision will be modified to render it enforceable to the extent possible to give effect to the parties’ intentions and the remaining provisions will not be affected.
