By using this website you agree to the following.



The OptConnect “Summit” Portal (“Summit” as further defined below) is comprised of valuable technology and intellectual property owned by OptConnect Management, LLC (“OptConnect”) or its licensors. OptConnect is willing to grant you, or if you represent a corporation or entity, that entity (“You” or “User”) the right to access and use Summit provided You agree to the terms of this Summit Portal Access Agreement (the “Agreement”). “Summit” means OptConnect’s online system comprised of OptConnect’s proprietary software, tools, databases and related technology designed to monitor connected devices and made available through a site hosted by or on behalf of OptConnect.

1. Subscription Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, OptConnect will provide User with the Subscription Services. “Subscription Services” means (i) hosting and maintaining Summit, and (ii) granting to User the right to access and use Summit for User's internal business purposes only. You may permit Your third-party contractors to access Summit, provided (a) such access and use is solely on Your behalf in accordance with this Agreement, and (b) the contractors agree to terms at least as restrictive as these terms.

All fees for optional features will be billed separately under terms of the Order and will not affect the normal Subscription Services. In the event access to Summit is terminated there are no refunds of fees paid for optional features. OptConnect may suspend or terminate User’s right to access and use Summit when any payment owing to OptConnect is overdue by providing thirty (30) days advance written notice.

If User is the U.S. Government or if User is a contractor or subcontractor (at any tier) of the U.S. Government and is licensing Summit for use by the U.S. Government or in connection with any contract or other transaction with the U.S. Government, User acknowledges that the software qualifies as commercial computer software and that the associated documentation qualifies as commercial computer software documentation within the meaning of the applicable acquisition regulations. The terms and conditions of this Agreement are fully applicable to the Government’s use and disclosure of Summit and associated documentation, and shall supersede any conflicting terms or conditions.

4.4. Suggestions and Feedback. In the event that User provides OptConnect with any comments, suggestions or other feedback with respect to the Subscription Services, OptConnect has the right, but not the obligation, to use such feedback in any way without restriction or obligation to User.

If User’s use of Summit in accordance with this Agreement is, in OptConnect’s sole opinion, likely to constitute an infringement of a third party’s intellectual property rights, then OptConnect may promptly and at its own expense, (a) procure for User the right to continue accessing and using Summit; or (b) modify or replace Summit (without materially detracting from its overall performance) so as to avoid the infringement. If neither of the foregoing alternatives is, in OptConnect’s sole opinion, commercially reasonable, OptConnect may immediately terminate the Agreement and refund to User any unused portions of the fees paid by User.

7.3. Defense and Settlement. A party seeking indemnity (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt notice of any such claim made against it for which it is entitled to indemnity hereunder, and shall cooperate with Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such claim, suit or proceeding, including appeals, negotiations and any settlement or compromise thereof, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense, negotiations and settlement or comprise thereof, except the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement or compromise which admits the fault of, or necessitates payment by, the Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnified Party.
