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.
Units in the "Stock" and "Test" clusters are not chargeable.

Payment Overdue
The following document presents Galooli's policy in cases there is a payment overdue for Galooli's services.
The work process in cases of payment overdue includes alerts to customers about the payment overdue, blocking the use of systems for the organization's managers, blocking notifications to end-users, and finally blocking access to the system for all users.
All decisions and processes depend on the time elapsed from the moment of payment overdue, the type of customer, and the terms of the contract.
Full Service
During a normal routine, all users of the system receive a full service as defined in the contract
Initial Payment Overdue
Depending on the contract of engagement after several notifications and alerts about the overdue, the following consequences will be manifested:
Consequences | User Type |
---|---|
Blocking the login to the system | Managers and users that can see more than 2 clusters |
No notifications will be sent from the system | Managers and all the end-users |
Blocking the service from the Galooli support team | Managers and all the end-users |
Scheduled reports will not be sent | Managers and all the end-users |
Advanced Payment Overdue
After a prolonged period of delay in payment, all sorts and types of users will be blocked from using the system
Post-debt settlement operations
The release of a block from any organization can take up to 48 hours after the funds are credited to the Galooli bank account.
A blocked account will only be released after all invoices that have passed the due date have been paid in full, not just the one particular invoice.
Account Balance
At any given moment, you can view the balance of the debt via the Manager Application. For more information click here.
Integration Test
Unit Testing for Sensors and Data Acquisition Device
Test each sensor individually to ensure it is providing accurate and reliable data (analog parameters & alarms).
Check for any anomalies or errors in data collection.
Simulate a 'Sensor Disconnected' scenario and check for the proper indication from the system.
Local Communication Testing
Ensure that the data is transmitted accurately and in the expected format.
Verify that the data collection device can handle both digital and analog data.
Cloud Connection Testing
Ensure Data transmission interval are accurate by reviewing the logged transmission time (via Galooli Pro)
Ensure that the full data payload is identical to the data collected by the control ( compare controller reading with Galooli Panorama - Live).
Ensure that the device responsible for sending data to the cloud can establish a secure and reliable connection.(Galooli Panorama - Live)
Test data transmission to the cloud to confirm that the server is receiving the correct data (Check ECS logs via Kibana solution).
Error Handling Testing
Simulate scenarios where the network connection is poor or temporarily unavailable.
Test how the system handles and recovers from communication failures or interruptions.
Scalability Testing
Test the system's ability to handle the maximum scenario (MAX number of sensors in a given location) .
Ensure that the data transmission process remains efficient and reliable as the system scales.
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
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.
