Please read the Terms carefully before you start to use our ToolDOXTM service.

Accessing ToolDOX and Account Security

Access to ToolDOX is based on the serial number of the Evoqua equipment used or purchased by you and is recipient-specific. Your ToolDOX access is not transferable or assignable. If the equipment is sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, your ToolDOX access and your rights hereunder will terminate, and the new equipment owner must contact Evoqua to apply for access to ToolDOX .

Evoqua reserves the right to withdraw or amend ToolDOX, and any service or material provided on ToolDOX, in its sole discretion without notice. Evoqua will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of ToolDOX is unavailable at any time or for any period. Access to ToolDOX is restricted to registered users, and all or part of it is subject to further restriction by Evoqua from time to time.

You are responsible for:

  • Making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the ToolDOX service.
  • Ensuring that all persons who access the ToolDOX service through your internet connection are aware of these Terms and comply with them.

To access ToolDOX, you will be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. It is a condition of your use of ToolDOX that all the information you provide on ToolDOX is correct, current and complete.

If you choose, or are provided with, a user name, password or any other piece of information as part of Evoqua’s security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to ToolDOX or portions of it using your user name, password or other security information. You agree to notify Evoqua immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your user name or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.

Evoqua has the right to disable any user name, password or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these Terms.

Changes to the Terms

Evoqua may revise and update these Terms from time to time in its sole discretion. Evoqua will notify you of any changes to these Terms and you will be asked to accept or agree to the revised Terms when notified. All changes are effective immediately when posted, and apply to all access to and use of our ToolDOX service thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in the “Governing Law and Jurisdiction” section will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice on or prior to the date the change is posted on ToolDOX .

Confidential Information

In connection with your purchase, lease, or use of Evoqua’s products (the “Purpose“), Evoqua understands that you desire to receive certain information from Evoqua that is non-public, confidential, or proprietary in nature, and Evoqua is willing to disclose such information to you, subject to these Terms.

“Confidential Information” means all non-public, confidential or proprietary information disclosed before, on or after the date of these Terms, by Evoqua to you or your affiliates, or to any of your or your affiliates’ employees, officers, directors, partners, shareholders, agents, attorneys, accountants or advisors (collectively, “Representatives"), whether disclosed orally or disclosed or accessed in written, electronic or other form or media, and whether or not marked, designated or otherwise identified as “confidential,” including, without limitation:

Recipient Representations and Warranties

Required Disclosure

Any Disclosure by you or your Representatives of any of Evoqua’s Confidential Information pursuant to applicable national, federal, state or local law, regulation or a valid order issued by a court or governmental agency of competent jurisdiction (a “Legal Order") shall be subject to the terms of this Section. Prior to making any such disclosure, you shall provide Evoqua with: (a) prompt written notice of such requirement so that Evoqua may seek a protective order or other remedy; and (b) reasonable assistance in opposing such disclosure or seeking a protective order or other limitations on disclosure.

If, after providing such notice and assistance as required herein, you remain subject to a Legal Order to disclose any Confidential Information, you (including your Representatives) shall disclose no more than that portion of the Confidential Information which, on the written advice of your legal counsel, such Legal Order specifically requires you to disclose, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances from the applicable court or agency that such Confidential Information will be afforded confidential treatment.

Return or Destruction of Confidential Information

Upon the expiration or termination of these Terms, or at Evoqua’s request at any time during the term of these Terms, you and your Representatives shall promptly return to Evoqua all copies, whether in written, electronic or other form or media, of Evoqua’s Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and certify in writing to Evoqua that such Confidential Information has been destroyed. In addition, you shall also destroy all copies of any Notes created by you or your Representatives and certify in writing to Evoqua that such copies have been destroyed.

Term and Termination

Evoqua may terminate these Terms and your access to ToolDOX at any time by providing written notice to you. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Evoqua’s rights and your obligations under these Terms shall survive the expiration or termination of these Terms for a period of 7 years from the date of such expiration or termination, even after you return or destroy the Confidential Information (the “Survival Period“), provided that for any and all trade secrets of Evoqua, the Survival Period shall last for as long as such Confidential Information qualifies as a trade secret under applicable international, federal, state and/or local law.

If the equipment to which your ToolDOX access relates is sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, your ToolDOX access and your rights hereunder will terminate, and the new equipment owner must contact Evoqua to apply for access to ToolDOX.

No Transfer of Rights, Title or Interest

Evoqua hereby retains its entire right, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to all Confidential Information and information in ToolDOX. Any disclosure of such information shall not be construed as an assignment, grant, option, license or other transfer of any such right, title or interest whatsoever to you or any of your Representatives.

Remedies

You acknowledge and agree that money damages might not be a sufficient remedy for any breach or threatened breach of these Terms by you or your Representatives. In addition to all other remedies available at law (which Evoqua does not waive by the exercise of any rights hereunder), Evoqua shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach, and you hereby waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or the showing of actual monetary damages in connection with such claim. If Evoqua institutes any legal suit, action or proceeding against you arising out of or relating to these Terms, Evoqua, if it is the prevailing party in the suit, action or proceeding, shall be entitled to receive in addition to all other damages to which it may be entitled, the costs incurred by it in conducting the suit, action or proceeding, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs.
