EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 11, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, WITHOUT ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THOSE ARISING BY LAW, USAGE OF TRADE OR COURSE OF DEALING.

Client acknowledges that the Internet is known to be unpredictable in performance and may, from time to time, impede access to the Service or performance hereunder. Except as expressly set forth herein, Client agrees that Fleet Complete is not responsible for any interference with Client’s use of or access to the Service to the extent caused by, arising from or attributable to the Internet.
6. Fleet Complete Vision™ Consent, Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability. The Service includes a Third Party Service known as Fleet Complete Vision™ (“Fleet Complete Vision”). If Fleet Complete Vision is activated by Client then Client hereby consents to the collection, storage and use of the video data collected through the use of Fleet Complete Vision as described in the Documentation (the “Fleet Complete Vision Data”) by LightMetrics, Inc. (“LightMetrics”), Fleet Complete’s licensor of the Fleet Complete Vision software. With respect to Fleet Complete Vision Data, Fleet Complete is the Data Processor and LightMetrics is the sub-processor and Fleet Complete shall cause LightMetrics to collect, store and use Client’s Fleet Complete Vision Data in accordance with Client’s instructions. In addition, the following disclaimers and limitations on Fleet Complete and its licensor’s liability apply. Fleet Complete Vision is only meant to aid and augment the Vehicle Operator’s own skill and attention when driving a Vehicle. Fleet Complete Vision’s primary function is to alert the Vehicle Operator to certain events described in the Documentation and accordingly, does not replace the Vehicle Operator’s requirement to be attentive to the surrounding traffic conditions, and drive in a legal and responsible manner without any distraction of any sort. It is expected that the Vehicle Operators do not rely on the Fleet Complete Vision warnings as a substitute for their own judgement and attention. Certain features may not work in situations such as: (a) where visibility is challenging due to prevailing weather conditions; (b) lanes not being clearly marked or visible; (c) when the Vehicle is following a vehicle other than cars, buses or trucks; (d) when the camera’s field of view is occluded; (e) degradation of WiFi connection between camera and mobile device; and/or (f) changes in camera orientation post-installation. Save as otherwise expressly provided herein or to the extent prohibited by law, under no circumstances will Fleet Complete or its licensors (including LightMetrics) be responsible for any damages or liabilities WHATSOEVER that arise on account of A VEHICLE OPERATOR’S USE OF Fleet Complete VISION.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIERS AND GPS
The Client acknowledges that communication services used in the provision of the Service are provided by third parties and the Client specifically acknowledges and agrees to the following:
(a) Client acknowledges that the Service may be temporarily refused, interrupted, curtailed or limited because of atmospheric, terrain, or other natural or artificial conditions and may be temporarily interrupted or curtailed due to usage concentrations, modifications, upgrades, relocation and repairs of the transmission networks. Client agrees that Fleet Complete shall not be responsible for such interruptions of Service or the inability to use the Service.
(b) Fleet Complete may temporarily suspend or permanently terminate the provision of some or all of the Service upon little or no notice in the event that Client violates a telecommunications carrier’s acceptable use policy or other network rules and policies.
(c) There must be a relatively clear “line of sight” between the GPS antenna and 4 or more satellites. Objects, such as buildings, overpasses, and other obstructions (such as parking in garages or underground structures) that shield the antenna from a satellite can potentially weaken a satellite’s signal such that it becomes too difficult to ensure reliable and/or accurate positioning. These difficulties are particularly prevalent in densely urban areas.

1. Fleet Complete Indemnity. Fleet Complete will defend and indemnify Client (including its employees, contractors, officers and directors) against fines, penalties, losses, costs, damages, injuries, claims, liabilities, settlements and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) arising from third party claims that the exercise of the rights granted hereunder infringes any third party patent, copyright, or trade secret (“Infringement Claim Liabilities”).
2. Conditions to Indemnity. As a condition of such obligation to defend and indemnify the Client pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof, Client shall give Fleet Complete prompt written notice of any such claim, and cooperate and provide, at Fleet Complete’s expense, reasonable information and assistance in connection with the defense and settlement of such claims. Fleet Complete shall have sole control of the settlement or defense of all infringement claims.
3. Exceptions.
