MaxiVigil Alarm Terminal version 1 is an “off-grid” solar powered device that provides 2 alarm inputs.
Alarm Inputs can be connected to generic, passive open/close switches. A door or window’s magnetic switch is an example of a passive switch that can be connected to MaxiVigil terminal. When a connected switch is opened, the terminal sends an alarm to the customer via email through their cellular network.
Optionally, one input can be connected to a temperature sensor.
Web Portal
A user portal is also provided for customers to manage their alarms: enable/disable, rearm (when set to manual rearm) and check heartbeat/alarms logs.
Varanda Labs is launching a Beta program for the MaxiVigil Alarm Terminal.
Before releasing products to the market Varanda Labs conducts thorough tests and verification. Collaboration from beta Testers are key for the success of Varanda Labs products.
Selected Testers will receive a MaxiVigil Terminal and free air-time and web access during the beta test period. Testers are responsible for providing inputs to the terminal as well as its installation.
Following some important notes:
- The initial Beta Test will run through a cellular mobile network only – a Wi-Fi version will follow with its own separate Beta program.
- Only passive switches like door/window magnetic switch are allowed without special authorization from Varanda Labs.
- The terminal must be installed outdoor with plenty exposure to the sun.
- Wires between the switch and the terminal should be shorter than 5 meters. For wires that exceed 5m, please check with Varanda Labs to ensure proper shielding.
- MaxiVigil is designed for fixed buildings/instalments, not vehicles, as the motion and vibration may damage the device.
- The duration of the Beta period will run at the discretion of Varanda Labs, which will likely be between 3-6 months. At the end of the Beta period, Testers may either return the terminals or purchase them at a discounted price. As stated in the Terms and Conditions, either party may terminate the Beta Test at any time.
Beta Testing Terms & Conditions
This Beta Testing Agreement (this “Agreement”) constitutes a legal agreement between you (“You,” “Your” or “Tester”) and Varanda Labs Inc, a Ontario corporation and states the terms and conditions that govern Your participation in Varanda Labs’s products and/or services offered on a preliminary, evaluation or “beta” testing basis. By using or participating in any such products and/or services, You agree to abide by the terms of this Agreement.
Scope of Agreement. Tester is being granted rights under this Agreement for the purpose of testing and providing input and other Feedback to Varanda Labs regarding one or more of Varanda Labs’s proprietary, non-commercially available products and/or services on a temporary basis (individually and collectively, the “Beta Products”). This Agreement covers all Beta Products made available to Tester by Varanda Labs, including, without limitation, any Beta Products specifically identified by Varanda Labs as being in a preliminary, evaluation, “beta” or any similar state of development. Varanda Labs retains sole and absolute discretion over the Beta Products and may modify them at any time. Tester’s use of and access to such Beta Products are subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Limited Use Rights. For the Term of this Agreement, Varanda Labs hereby grants Tester a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, limited license to allow Tester’s designated participants to use the Beta Products to test their functionality and provide Feedback to Varanda Labs. Varanda Labs hosts and retains control over the Beta Products. This license does not permit Tester or its designated participants to use the Beta Products in any session intended primarily to provide general business training to other Tester associates, nor to any audiences outside of Tester or for any other commercial purpose. Varanda Labs reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, (i) revoke access and use of the Beta Products any time, (ii) monitor or measure Tester’s use of the Beta Products, (iii) validate certain features or functionality of the Beta Products, and/or (iv) provide services or support necessary to maintain the Beta Products. Tester and/or its designated participants shall not and shall not attempt to directly or indirectly, (i) copy, modify, translate, or create derivative works of the Beta Products, (ii) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to reconstruct, identify or discover any source code, underlying ideas, underlying user interface techniques, or algorithms of any part of the Beta Products, (iii) lend, lease, offer for sale, sell or otherwise use any part of the Beta Products for the benefit of any other third parties, or (iv) attempt to circumvent any license, timing or use restrictions that are built into any part of the Beta Products.
Feedback. Tester agrees to provide feedback, analysis, suggestions, enhancement requests, comments and recommendations to Varanda Labs regarding the Beta Products upon Varanda Labs’s request (the “Feedback”). Feedback shall include informing Varanda Labs about the performance, ease of use, features that may be missing, and any bugs encountered during the use of the Beta Products. Varanda Labs may contact Tester and Tester agrees to make available a reasonable amount of time to discuss the Beta Products with Varanda Labs if so requested. As between Varanda Labs and Tester, all right, title and interest in and to any such Feedback shall be owned solely and exclusively by Varanda Labs. Tester agrees that Varanda Labs shall have the perpetual, irrevocable and worldwide right to use, modify, license, sublicense and otherwise exploit all or part of the Feedback or any derivative thereof in any manner or media now known or hereafter devised without any remuneration, compensation or credit to Tester.
Intellectual Property. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement does not transfer any right, title or interest in any intellectual property right to the other. Varanda Labs maintains all rights, title and interest in and to all its patents, inventions, copyrights, trademarks, domain names, trade secrets, know-how and any other intellectual property and/or proprietary rights contained in and to (i) the Beta Products, (ii) its online educational platform and (iii) all original works of authorship, inventions, processes, concepts, documents, work product and other materials or other proprietary information made accessible or delivered to Tester or to any participant under this Agreement or prepared by or on behalf of Varanda Labs in the course of providing the Beta Products (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”). The limited rights granted to Tester to access and use the Beta Products under this Agreement do not convey any additional rights in the Beta Products or in or to any Intellectual Property Rights associated therewith. Subject only to the limited rights to access and use the Beta Products as expressly provided herein, all rights, title and interest in and to the Beta Products and all Intellectual Property Rights will remain with and belong exclusively to Varanda Labs.
Term and Termination. This Agreement shall commence upon Tester’s use of or participation in the Beta Products and shall continue until terminated in accordance with this Agreement (the “Term”). Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, for any or no reason, provided, however, Tester must provide written notice to Varanda Labs of its election to terminate this Agreement (email is permissible). Varanda Labs is not required to provide Tester notice of its election to terminate its provision of the Beta Products and/or this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, Varanda Labs may deny Tester and its designated participants access to the Beta Products and withhold, remove or discard any content, data, or other information that Tester or its designated participants have posted, uploaded or otherwise shared while using the Beta Products. Termination of this Agreement by either party shall not in any way limit Varanda Labs’s rights related to any Feedback provided before or after such termination. Any property of Varanda Labs provided to the Tester must be returned.
Confidential Information. Tester acknowledges and agrees that its use of the Beta Products will result in Varanda Labs disclosing certain confidential, proprietary and/or trade secret information related to the Beta Products and/or Intellectual Property Rights (the “Confidential Information”). Tester agrees that it will not, without the express prior written consent of Varanda Labs, disclose any Confidential Information or any part thereof to any third party, except to the extent that such Confidential Information (i) is or becomes generally available to the public through any means other than as a result of any act or omission by Tester; (ii) is rightfully received by Tester from a third party that is not subject to any obligation of confidentiality with respect thereto and without limitation as to its use; or (iii) is independently developed by Tester without any reliance on any Confidential Information.
Protection. Tester shall use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care) (i) not to use any Confidential Information for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by Varanda Labs in writing, to limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its affiliates’ employees, contractors and agents who need such access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with Tester containing protections no less stringent than those herein. Neither party shall disclose the terms of this Agreement to any third party other than its affiliates and their legal counsel, accountants or auditors without the other party’s prior written consent.
Privacy Policy. This Agreement is subject to and incorporates by reference Varanda Labs’s Privacy Policy. By entering into this Agreement, Tester agrees to be contacted by Varanda Labs during and after the Term of this Agreement to participate in the testing of current or future Beta Products.
Compliance with Laws and Representations and Warranties. Each party represents and warrants to the other party that it shall perform its obligations hereunder in compliance with all applicable laws, including export control laws of the United States which are applicable to the provision and use of the Beta Products.
Disclaimer of Warranties. THE BETA PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”. Varanda Labs MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE BETA PRODUCTS INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATION THAT THE SERVICES THEREUNDER WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, Varanda Labs DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED OR STATUTORY WARRANTY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE IN RESPECT OF THE BETA PRODUCTS. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, ALL BETA PRODUCTS ARE PRELEASE, ARE EXPECTED TO CONTAIN DEFECTS WHICH MAY BE MATERIAL, AND ARE NOT EXPECTED TO OPERATE AT THE LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE OR COMPATIBILITY OF A FINAL, GENERALLY AVAILABLE PRODUCT OR SERVICES OFFERING. BETA PRODUCTS MAY NOT OPERATE ACCURATELY, AND MAY BE SUBSTANTIALLY MODIFIED PRIOR TO PUBLIC AVAILABILITY OR WITHDRAWN AT ANY TIME. ACCORDINGLY, ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE BETA PRODUCTS IS ENTIRELY AT TESTER’S OWN RISK.

TESTER IS ADVISED TO SAFEGUARD IMPORTANT DATA, TO USE CAUTION AND NOT TO RELY IN ANY WAY ON THE CORRECT FUNCTIONING OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY BETA PRODUCT.
Indemnity and Limitation of Liability. Tester agrees to indemnify and hold Varanda Labs, its officers, directors and employees harmless from any losses (including attorneys’ fees) that result from any third-party claims related to Tester’s or its designated participants access, use or misuse of the Beta Products or Intellectual Property Rights, or any act or omission by Tester or its participants in violation of this Agreement. To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall Varanda Labs be liable to Tester for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages or for loss of profits, revenues, contracts, loss of use, loss of data, business interruption, or cost of replacement goods related to or in connection with this Agreement, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Miscellaneous. This Agreement does not create a partnership, agency relationship, or joint venture between the parties. Tester may not assign this Agreement in whole or in part without Varanda Labs’s prior written consent and the terms hereof are binding on Tester’s successors and permitted assigns. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed unenforceable by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be modified to render it enforceable to the extent possible to affect the parties’ intention and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Failure of Varanda Labs to enforce a right under this Agreement shall not act as a waiver of that right or the ability to later assert that right relative to the particular situation involved. This Agreement shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the province of Ontario.
