ICENTRALTM ACCOUNT REGISTRATION & WIRELESS SERVICE AGREEMENT

This is an agreement for iCentral Account Registration & Wireless Service (“Agreement”) between Rain Master® Control Systems, a subsidiary of The Toro Company’s Irrigation Division (herein called “Company”) and the Subscriber to provide internet-based technology (i.e., through Company’s website at www.icentralirrigation.com) using two-way wireless communications with Company’s RME EagleTM or EagleTM Plus controller (herein called “Service”).  The term “Controller” means the wireless receiving and transmitting equipment (including the iCentral communications card, the Company’s irrigation controller and the antenna), which the Company has authorized to be programmed with the Service.  In activating the Service, the Subscriber hereby represents that he/she/it has read, agreed with, accepted, and consented to all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

 

  1. Subscriber Eligibility

The Service available under this Agreement is for use within the continental United States only.  Company’s Service is not available to minors (i.e., persons under the age of 18) or to temporarily or indefinitely suspended Subscribers.  If Subscriber is registering as a business entity, Subscriber represents that he/she has the authority to bind the entity to this Agreement.

  1. Registration Obligations

In consideration of Subscriber’s use of the Service, Subscriber agrees to: (a) provide accurate, current and complete information about themselves as prompted by the Service registration form ("Registration Data"), and (b) promptly notify Company and update the Registration Data to maintain it as accurate, current and complete. If Subscriber provides any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Company has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Company has the right to suspend or terminate Subscriber’s iCentral account and terminate and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof).  Subscriber agrees to pay all applicable fees and charges associated with the Service as defined in the iCentral Service Plan.
