may choose to bill through invoices, in which case full 
payment for any invoice must be received by Dropcountr 
within thirty (30) days after the mailing date of such 
invoice.  Overdue payments will accrue interest at the 
rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate of interest 
allowed by law, whichever is lower.  Utility will further be 
liable for, and shall to pay to Dropcountr promptly upon 
demand, all expenses of collection.  Failure to timely pay 
any amounts due hereunder may result in immediate 
termination of the Agreement.  
6.3.  Taxes.  The Fees and any other charges specified 
in this Agreement are exclusive of taxes, duties, levies, 
tariffs, and other governmental charges (including, 
without limitation, VAT) (collectively, “Taxes”). Utility

(subject to the exclusions below) any non-public 
information relating to or disclosed in the course of the 
Agreement that should be reasonably understood to be 
confidential. The receiving party will use the same care to

similar information, but no less than reasonable care, will

without prior written authorization, and will use 
Confidential Information only for the purpose of fulfilling 
its obligations or exercising its rights expressly granted

required disclosure.

entitled to the commitments and remedies set forth in 
such Service Level Agreement as attached hereto as 
Exhibit B. The remedies expressly provided in the Service 
Level Agreement are Utility’s sole and exclusive remedy, 
and Dropcountr’s entire obligation, with respect to any 
service-level violation.  
10. DISCLAIMER. 
10.1. Data Accuracy.  The parties acknowledge and 
agree that the quality, accuracy and completeness of 
results obtained from the use of the Platform Services is 
dependent upon the quality, accuracy and completeness 
of available data, including Utility Data and Customer 
Data and other data that may be provided by third 
parties.  Unless otherwise agreed to in the Order Form or 
SOW, Utility shall be solely responsible for providing or 
otherwise securing from third parties (including AMI 
Vendors, as defined in Exhibit D) all data necessary for 
the proper operation of the Platform Services. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the 
contrary, Dropcountr shall have no obligation or liability 
whatsoever with respect to any error, incompleteness or 
other deficiencies with respect to such data obtained 
from Utility or any third party, or any results generated 
by the Platform Services on the basis thereof.

AND TRADE USAGE.  DROPCOUNTR DOES NOT 
REPRESENT THAT UTILITY’S OR ANY CUSTOMER’S USE OF 
THE PLATFORM SERVICES WILL BE SECURE, TIMELY, 
UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT THE

6 
 
4837-9934-8919\5 
PLATFORM SERVICES WILL MEET UTILITY’S OR ANY 
CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT ALL ERRORS IN 
THE PLATFORM SERVICES WILL BE CORRECTED OR THAT 
THE SYSTEM THAT MAKES THE PLATFORM SERVICES 
AVAILABLE WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER 
HARMFUL COMPONENTS.  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY 
PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT (AND WITHOUT 
LIMITING REMEDIES TO WHICH UTILITY MAY BE 
ENTITLED UNDER THE SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT, IF 
APPLICABLE), 
THE 
PLATFORM 
SERVICES 
AND 
IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO UTILITY 
ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS AND ARE FOR 
INTERNAL COMMERCIAL USE ONLY.  UTILITY ASSUMES 
ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR DETERMINING WHETHER THE 
PLATFORM SERVICES ARE ACCURATE OR SUFFICIENT FOR 
UTILITY’S PURPOSES. 
11. INDEMNIFICATION.  Utility will indemnify, defend 
and hold harmless Dropcountr, its affiliates, managers, 
directors, employees, representatives, and agents, 
against any damages awarded by a court in connection 
with claims, demands, suits or proceedings made or 
brought by a third party arising from or related to (i) any 
material breach by Utility of this Agreement, (ii) the 
Utility Data, Customer Data, or any other data provided 
or made available by Utility hereunder, (iii) Utility’s or 
any Customer’s use of the Platform Services in violation 
of this Agreement, EULA, or any applicable Dropcountr 
end-user documentation, or (iv) any failure by Utility to 
comply with any applicable laws, regulations, or rights of 
third parties.  
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BUT EXCEPT WITH RESPECT 
TO ANY BREACH OF THE PARTIES’ OBLIGATIONS UNDER 
SECTION 8 OR BREACH OF UTILITY’S OBLIGATIONS 
UNDER SECTION 2.5, AND WITHOUT LIMITING UTILITY’S 
OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 11, NEITHER PARTY SHALL 
BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT,

PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS 
OR 
INFORMATION,

AGREEMENT OR THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE 
PLATFORM SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED HEREUNDER, 
EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH 
DAMAGES.

Cap. 
THE 
TOTAL 
LIABILITY 
OF 
DROPCOUNTR FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR 
RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE

IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO 
SUCH LIABILITY.   
13. MISCELLANEOUS 
13.1. Assignment.  Utility may not assign this Agreement 
without Dropcountr’s prior written consent, which will 
not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempt by Utility to 
assign this Agreement, without such consent, will be null 
and of no effect.  Subject to the foregoing, this 
Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of each 
party’s successors and permitted assigns. 
13.2. Force Majeure.  Neither party shall be liable for 
any delay or failure in performance (other than non-

United States and other applicable jurisdictions to ensure 
that neither the Platform Services, nor any direct product

regulations; or (ii) used for any purposes prohibited by 
the such export laws and regulations.

is 
the 
U.S. 
government or any agency or other division thereof,

the government’s rights with respect to the services (and 
to any associated software, technical data or other 
materials) are limited to those expressly granted in this 
Agreement. 
13.5. Severability.  If any part of this Agreement is held 
to be unenforceable or invalid, in whole or in part, by a

the provision affected will be construed so as to be 
enforceable to the maximum extent permissible by law.  
13.6. Waiver.  The waiver of a breach of any provision of 
this Agreement will not operate or be interpreted as a 
waiver of any other or subsequent breach of that or any 
other provision.   
13.7. Notices.  All notices permitted or required under 
this Agreement shall be in writing, will reference this 
Agreement, and shall be delivered in person, by

or 
modification to the Agreement must be in writing signed 
by both parties. This Agreement constitutes the entire 
agreement and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous 
oral or written agreements regarding the subject matter 
hereof.

effort to limit disruption to Utility.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dropcountr shall not be required to 
give advance notice of, or delay to non-peak hours, any maintenance required to address critical time-
sensitive issues, where waiting to perform maintenance may pose a risk to Dropcountr’s platforms, 
systems, or data. 
 
Service Availability 
  
Dropcountr will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Platform Services available 99.9% of 
the time as measured on a monthly basis, excluding downtime for Scheduled Maintenance. 
  
Service Credits 
  
For any month in which the service availability (calculated as described above) falls below the 
commitment of 99.9%, Dropcountr will owe Utility an availability credit in accordance with the schedule 
below:

Statement of Work 
This Statement of Work (“SOW”) pertains to the Platform Services Agreement to which it is attached 
between Dropcountr and Utility. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings given 
to them in the Platform Services Agreement.  
 
This SOW includes three key phases: (1) Program Setup, (2) Program Implementation and (3) Program 
Management.  
 
Program Setup (Phase 1) 
Data Transfer 
 
Dropcountr will engage with Utility staff to review and select from among Dropcountr’s preferred data 
specification, format, transfer interval, and transfer options.  
 
Dropcountr will ingest up to two (2) years of Customer Data, including hourly usage data, to develop 
historical trends and spatial comparisons for water usage. Dropcountr will ingest up to five (5) years of 
Customer Data, if the usage data interval is monthly or less. Customer Data shall include, but may not be 
limited to, account information, account type, and rebate program participation. 
 
If Utility has contracted with an Advanced Meter Infrastructure vendor which can provide Dropcountr 
with secure access to Customer usage data via API (“AMI Vendor”), Dropcountr will coordinate with the 
AMI Vendor to receive hourly usage data, leak flags, and other relevant data that supports the SOW.  
 
Training and Pre-Launch Testing 
 
Dropcountr will create Authorized User accounts for Utility’s access and use of the Platform Services.  
Utility is entitled to an unlimited number of Authorized User accounts, and each account may have 
different administrative privileges due to differences in Authorized User roles and authority. 
 
Using actual Customer Data, Dropcountr will conduct initial Authorized User training on the Platform 
Services using Zoom or a similar online webinar application. Training conducted using relevant Customer 
Data increases the efficacy of training, and also allows for QA/QC of data prior to public launch. 
 
Detailed training materials will be provided to Utility, and are accessible online at any time. These 
materials include product guides, GIF tutorials, answers to frequently asked questions, and project 
manager contact information. 
 
 
Marketing Outreach Consultation 
 
Where permitted to do so, Dropcountr will provide recommendations and examples of marketing 
outreach campaigns used by other Dropcountr utility accounts. Dropcountr also grants to Utility, during 
the term of the Platform Services Agreement and for the sole and exclusive purpose of supporting 
Utility’s internal outreach efforts, a limited, revocable, non-transferable (except as otherwise expressly 
agreed to in writing by Dropcountr), non-exclusive licenses to use, modify and display such key 
Dropcountr image assets and copy (e.g. event brochures, bill stuffers, webpage placement) as

4837-9934-8919\5 
Dropcountr may provide to Utility from time to time, including as the same may include Dropcountr 
trademarks, trade names, services marks and logos  (collectively, “Dropcountr Materials”).  All use of 
Dropcountr Materials by Utility shall be in accordance with such trademark use and other policies as 
may be provided to Utility by Dropcountr from time to time, and subject to Dropcountr review and 
approval.      
 
Program Implementation (Phase 2) 
Email Marketing Engagement 
 
Using Customer email and other contact information provided by Utility, Dropcountr will conduct three 
(3) Customer email campaigns.  
 
These campaigns will consist of unique, account-specific emails which summarize monthly water use, 
provide a social norms-based comparison, present a call to action to sign up for the Dropcountr HOME 
program, and legitimize the relationship between Utility and Dropcountr. Each email will include the 
account name and account number for Customer convenience, and a direct link to the Dropcountr sign-
up page. 
 
Program Management (Phase 3) 
Status Meetings 
 
In order to ensure that the project remains on track, and to provide ample opportunity for feedback and 
insight from Utility, Dropcountr anticipates conducting bi-monthly status meetings.  These meetings 
may be held by phone or webinar. 
 
Supplemental Training 
 
The Dropcountr project manager will provide supplemental training to Utility as reasonably requested, 
or when material updates to Platform Services are developed and deployed.
