The full documentation can be found at the following link - https://galooli.atlassian.net/l/cp/gN1bLezS
Billing Units
Main Principles
The monthly billing is based on the units in the organization tree in the system. The customer is responsible for paying for all units on the organization tree.
It is the customer's responsibility to activate/deactivate units by moving them in and out of the organization tree.
In the case that the client is restocking units, there is no need to add a line for software fees, rather we will write in the memo that it is for stocking or replacing units
Units in the "Stock" and "Test" clusters are not chargeable.
https://galooli.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KP/pages/2802417892/My+Cluster#Stock-and-Test-Clusters
Payments In Advance
Please note the procedure below for SOs under lease where we collect a few monthly payments in advance (typically 4-6).
When issuing the SO to the client, you can continue following the same process we've used until now.
However, once we receive a PO, we need to follow the steps outlined in the example below:
Example: This is a deal from June 1, 2024, with a 36-month commitment and 4 months prepaid, for which we need to issue an invoice.
As discussed, we will deduct 4 months from the SO as part of the hardware delivery, move the commitment period to October 1, 2024, and reduce the total commitment to 32 months.
In the memo, include all relevant details (36-month commitment and 4-month prepayment).
If the amount is significant, we open another SO with an item that can be spread over 4 months.
Billing Types
Monthly (MO)
Billing types - MO, MO2…MO10
HW - one-time fee
SW & Service - monthly fees
No commitment
If a unit is on an active cluster on the tree for 2 days and up during a month - it is billed
Commitment Date & Commitment period fields should be zero, but even if there is a value there - it will be ignored in the Billing days count.
Pay As You Go (LE)
Billing types - LE, LE2…LE10

The unit is billed during the commitment period, even if it is located in STOCK or TEST clusters
Annual/Cyclic (AN)
Billing types - AN, AN2…AN10

Note |
---|

Integration Test
Policy for System Integration and Testing
Overview
This policy outlines the principles and expectations for testing sensors, data acquisition devices, local communication systems, and cloud connectivity to ensure system reliability, accuracy, and scalability. These guidelines serve to establish a standard framework for testing procedures across all relevant systems and components.
Sensor and Data Acquisition Standards
All sensors and data acquisition devices must adhere to strict performance criteria, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of both analog parameters and alarm data.
Systems must be capable of identifying anomalies or errors in data collection, with mechanisms in place to mitigate such issues promptly.
A 'Sensor Disconnected' scenario must be identifiable and trigger appropriate system responses, supporting operational continuity and data integrity.
Local Communication Standards
Communication systems must guarantee accurate and consistent transmission of both digital and analog data, maintaining compliance with expected formats and protocols.
Data acquisition devices are expected to support and seamlessly integrate with the system’s infrastructure, ensuring no loss or distortion of data.
Cloud Connectivity Standards
The integrity of data transmission intervals must be validated through reliable logging systems such as Galooli Pro, ensuring compliance with predefined standards.
Complete data payloads must remain consistent from their origin at the controller level to their destination in the cloud (validated via Galooli Panorama - Live).
Devices must maintain secure and reliable connections to the cloud, protecting data integrity and enabling uninterrupted service.
Error Handling and Resilience
The system must demonstrate resilience under adverse network conditions, including poor connectivity or temporary outages, with clear mechanisms for recovery.
Robust error-handling protocols are required to minimize disruptions and ensure rapid restoration of normal operations.
Scalability Requirements
The system must sustain optimal performance under maximum load conditions, including the highest possible number of sensors at a single location.
As operational demands grow, data transmission processes must continue to meet efficiency and reliability benchmarks without compromise.
Compliance and Review
This policy must be reviewed periodically to ensure alignment with technological advancements and operational needs. Any deviations from these standards require approval by the relevant stakeholders.
System Usage
Galooli is fully dedicated to ensuring its customers with a seamless, enjoyable, and efficient experience while using its services. Nevertheless, abusive or excessive use of the company's services may result in limitations on system usage. In exceptional cases, excessive usage may potentially lead to the complete suspension of system access. Galooli reserves the sole discretion to determine what constitutes excessive usage of its services.
Specifically, Galooli defines non-excessive usage according to the following criteria:
Daily Transmissions - up to 3000 per unit. Once a unit has transmitted 3000 times, we will stop saving its transmissions. As a result, only the first 3000 records will be considered in the detailed report and in the calculation of the summary data. On the following day, the count will begin again.
Daily active events: up to 30 events per unit
Email notifications: up to 2 emails per event on average
3rd party daily SMS: up to 2 emails per event on average
Daily NOC alarms: up to 10 alarms per unit
Daily reports count: up to 10 reports per unit
Daily scheduled reports count: up to 50% of the total reports count
Scheduled reports size: Reports sized up to 7.5MB will be attached to the email. Reports larger than this will be provided as a download link, which remains valid for 14 days.
Summary reports scope: up to 365 days
Detailed report scope: up to 92 days
Daily SDK Queries: up to 8,640
Embedded Dashboards: Customer will display all attribution that Galooli provides through the services (including branding and logos). Customer will not modify, obscure, or delete such attribution.
X-Ray parameters per unit: 100
Daily OTA upgrades:
For organizations with up to 200 units: 20
For organizations with more 200 units: 1,000
A total organizational upgrade is allowed within intervals of no less than 10 days, regardless of the organization's size.
Users and Managers count: up to 1,000
Daily Automations: up to 10,000
Galooli reserves the right to change, add, or omit any of the criteria and metrics listed above. Galooli will do its best to notify customers of any changes to the terms and manner of system usage in a timely manner. These conditions apply when excessive system usage stems from intentional customer actions or technical issues, including notification and event configuration issues.
Data Loss
Galooli is committed to providing its customers with the highest standards of service and security. The Galooli Solutions includes cutting edge features and practices designed to maximize asset connectivity and minimize data loss. Following are several policies and conditions associated with the process:
Data Loss During Service Interruptions:
Data loss recognized in this context is specifically due to complete service outages. This encompasses periods when the Software as a Service (SaaS) application is entirely unavailable or its functionality is significantly disrupted.
Cellular Network Downtime:
While Galooli employs strategies to minimize data loss, it is important to acknowledge that Galooli is not responsible for data loss attributable to cellular network instabilities or unforeseen disruptions. The local data storage capability of the Galooli gateway acts as a safeguard against such eventualities, ensuring data preservation during network downtimes.
Mutually Agreed Upon SaaS Maintenance Periods:
Scheduled maintenance periods are essential for the ongoing efficiency and security of the SaaS application. Galooli will proactively communicate with clients regarding these scheduled downtimes to manage expectations concerning temporary service unavailability and the potential for data loss. Importantly, data loss during these agreed-upon maintenance windows is not factored into the overall data loss assessments, acknowledging the planned nature of these interruptions."
Exclusions for Physical Sites Under Maintenance or Known Issues:
Data loss incidents that occur during scheduled maintenance periods or as a result of previously identified issues with the physical infrastructure are excluded from the provider's liability.
Force Majeure Events:
The service may be subject to interruptions from force majeure events, which are unforeseeable and beyond our control. These include, but are not limited to, natural disasters, political unrest, and other significant emergencies. Data loss resulting from such events falls outside the provider's responsibility, given their unpredictable and extraordinary nature.
License Plans
The Galooli software solution includes a number of applications, features, tools, and menus. Each of these capabilities is available to customers depending on the organization's license type that defines which system capabilities will be available to them and which will not.

Product’s End Of Life
Galooli may discontinue products for several reasons such as market needs, improvements, innovations, and a need for replacement of old technologies with new ones. The End-of-Life phase refers to the process of retirement of a Galooli product.
Galooli will publish updates throughout the product's end-of-life (EOL) phase. The updates are classified to 3 categories: End of Sale, End of Support, and End of service life.
