Once You have accepted these Digital Terms, We may change these Digital Terms for important reasons, such as, if such changes are required for legal, regulatory, technical or security reasons. The current version of these Digital Terms can be viewed, saved and printed at any time here: https://uk.smart.com/en/service/terms-of-service/. This clause 3.2 won't apply to any changes to the main obligations of this Contract that would have the effect of changing the purpose of the Contract as described in clause. 10.7.
We'll notify 4 weeks in advance of such changes via e-mail to the e-mail-address linked to Your smart ID. We'll also let You know about any changes in Your smart Account and You can accept them. If You don't reject these changes within 4 weeks after receiving notice of the changes, You'll be deemed to have accepted them. If otherwise You reject the changes, We may terminate the Contract by giving You 2 weeks' notice, provided that We told You that failure to consent to the changes could cause Us to exercise Our right to terminate the Contract. In this case You won't be able to download and/or use the Digital Services from such termination date. This won't apply to such Digital Services that You have already purchased and/or downloaded and that don't require a smart Account to work (e.g. permanent Digital Services, such as front seat heating).
1. Digital Services
We offer various Digital Services, such as in-car services and apps, (ongoing) map-updates, autonomous driving applications, front seat heating etc. The type of Digital Services We offer for Your Vehicle, can vary depending on the model, model year and equipment of Your Vehicle as well as the country in which the Vehicle is used.
The individual Digital Services are described in the smart Store, in the vehicle configurator, in the user manual and/or in Your smart Account. The use, download and/or purchase of certain Digital Services may require access to Your smart Account through Your smart ID and/or use of the Hello smart app. More detailed information is available in the smart Store or for the Hello smart App on the app store for Your mobile device.
Certain Digital Services are part of the Vehicle's basic configuration and are factory installed ("Pre-Installed Service(s)"). These include the "remote safety monitoring" system that monitors vehicle safety and operability and the "eCall" emergency call system required by law and doesn't require entering into a Contract under these Digital Terms. You can manage all vehicle-based Digital Services by activating and deactivating individual Digital Services via the Central Display. You cannot deactivate compulsory Digital Services, including the "eCall" emergency call system. Certain Digital Services can only be used in connection with the Hello smart app. The use of these Digital Services requires You to connect Your Vehicle to the Hello smart app. For more information about the processing of Vehicle information and personal data in connection with Vehicle-based Digital Services, please refer to Our privacy policy here: https://uk.smart.com/en/service/data-protection/. Certain Digital Services may require an active internet connection to be functional and others only need to be downloaded once and can also be used offline. Digital Services may be free of charge but others may be subject to additional charges. Some Digital Services can be downloaded or purchased with a single transaction, where other Digital Services may require a subscription agreement ("Subscribed Service(s)"). Terminating a Subscribed Service and the other terms can be found in each description of the relevant Digital Service in the smart Store and/or the additional terms and conditions for such Digital Service available at https://uk.smart.com/en/service/terms-of-service/.
Certain Digital Services are deemed as activated for Your Vehicle and are linked to the Vehicle to which Your smart Account is linked to at the time of the purchase and/or download. Such Digital Services are not transferable to another Vehicle or to another smart Account. If You order a Digital Service for Your Vehicle, You declare that You are the Owner of the Vehicle or that the Owner authorised You to enter into a Contract with Us. To connect Your Vehicle to Your smart Account via the Hello smart App, You must agree to these Digital Terms.
We reserve Our right to further develop the Digital Services from time to time by adding, changing or removing individual functions. For any Digital Services already downloaded and/or purchased, We will only make minor or insignificant changes to the Digital Service if there is a valid reason and/or if such change doesn't lead to You incurring any additional costs. Here is a list of the valid reasons for which changes to the Digital Services may be required: changes to the technical environment, an increase in the number of users, changes due to important operational reasons, further development of the services, statutory changes and/or case law, data security changes, security problems with content providers/third party providers or other similar reasons. We'll let You know about upcoming changes affecting You and their possible legal consequences at least 4 weeks before to Your e-mail registered linked to Your smart ID or to Your smart Account.
1. Users and Digital Key (as far as Digital Key is rolled out)
The Owner or the person authorised by the Owner to use the Vehicle may be registered as the Primary User of the Vehicle (" Primary User") in the smart Account. The Primary User has access to the full range of Digital Services available for the Vehicle. The Primary User is also the only user who can add Digital Services to the Vehicle and update them. There is only one Primary User assigned to the Vehicle. If a new Primary User is assigned to the Vehicle, the previous Primary User will automatically be removed as the Primary User of the Vehicle.
To register more user(s) of a Vehicle other than the Primary User, the Primary User must invite those individuals via the smart Account. If such additional user(s) accept the invite, then they can be registered as Secondary Users, being an account meant for persons that use the Vehicle on a regular basis (" Secondary User") or guest users, if they only occasionally use the Vehicle (" Guest User"). Secondary Users and Guest Users will have restricted access to the Digital Services or no access to them at all, depending on each Digital Service. Primary, Secondary and Guest Users can login to the Vehicle with their respective user rights. The login occurs via a QR code displayed on the Central Display and requires the user to have a smart ID and the Hello smart app. It is, however, also possible to use the Vehicle in guest mode without logging in but in this case, certain Digital Services won't be available or only available on a limited basis.
As far as the Digital Key is rolled out: Using the Hello smart App, Your smart Account works as a key to Your Vehicle (" Digital Key"). The Digital Key can be shared with the Secondary User(s) and any Guest User(s). To share the Digital Key, the Primary User must add the smart ID of Secondary User(s) and/or Guest User(s) in the Hello smart App and select the option allowing for the Digital Key to be shared with them. Secondary User(s) and/or Guest User(s) must have a smart ID and a connected smart Account to be added to and use the Digital Key. If You share the Digital Key, the Secondary User(s) and/or Guest User(s) will have access to the Vehicle using the Digital Key. The Primary User can also deactivate the Digital Key for any Guest User(s) or Secondary Users via the Hello smart App at any time. However, the deactivation can only done when the Vehicle is locked. Further information about the Digital Key is available in the Hello smart App and Your smart Account. The Digital Key must not be used for rental services. Any Secondary User(s) and Guest User(s) must accept these Digital Terms before a Digital Key is shared with them.
1. Network Connection
The download and in some cases the use of Digital Services in the Vehicle require a data connection between the Vehicle and Our servers. This connection is established via an eSIM integrated in the Vehicle by a telecommunications provider contracted by smart via mobile phone networks. Your Vehicle has a data connection in the UK, Switzerland and all EU member states. As this data connection is required to provide the emergency call system "eCall", it cannot be deactivated. This data connection is free of charge for the user, and for certain Digital Services You don' t have to enter into a separate contract with a telecommunications provider to download and/or use the Digital Services.
Where the use and/or download of the Digital Service requires internet access or other telecommunications services for the Hello smart app, for example, You must have a separate agreement with Your telecommunications service provider. The telecommunications service provider may charge You for the use of its services and, for the data connection established for the use and/or download of Digital Services. You are solely responsible for these.
An insufficient data connection could impair the usability of certain Digital Services. The functioning and performance of the mobile data connection between the Vehicle and Our server depend on a number of factors that are beyond Our control and responsibility. We exclude any liability for any lack of functionality of the Digital Services resulting from an insufficient or not properly working data connection that is beyond Our control.
1. Availability

We take all reasonable measures to achieve the continuous availability of all Digital Services and to restore them without delay in the event of disruptions. However We however aren't responsible for disruptions or reductions in performance caused by force majeure events (e.g. armed conflicts, epidemics, pandemics (including the Covid-19-pandemic), natural disasters, industrial action) or due to necessary maintenance, repairs or other measures affecting Our technical facilities or by third parties providing data, content, information or transmission capacities. In addition, intensive simultaneous use of Digital Services may lead to a limitation of performance.

OTA Software Updates
1. For the purpose of restoring, maintaining or improving the availability and security of Digital Services, We may offer You from time to time an over-the-air update of software in the Vehicle free of charge (" OTA Software Update").
2. Since OTA Software Updates are subject to the availability or limitations of a network connection as well as the Vehicle's equipment, the download and installation time of OTA Software Updates can vary from a few minutes to several hours.
3. We strongly encourage You to download OTA Software Updates, as the updates may be essential for the security of Your Vehicle. If You fail to do so, We aren't responsible for any resulting functional limitations and security gaps of the Digital Services and/or the data connection. If OTA Software Updates aren't carried out, We also aren't responsible for maintaining the update capability. In some cases, certain OTA Software Updates are necessary to ensure the safety of the Vehicle.

Warranty and Liability

If the Digital Service is defective, You can enforce against Us certain statutory warranty rights subject to the limitation set out below.
Digital Services provided free of charge and are expressly marked as "beta " are currently in the testing and development phase. Regarding such beta versions, not all functions may be available or the functionality of the Digital Services may be limited. Beta versions are made available without any agreement as to their specific nature, quality and/or functionality and without any agreement as to their suitability for a specific use.
Claims that result in material defects shall expire in accordance with the applicable statutory provisions.

Notwithstanding the above, a limitation period of one year shall apply if You are a public body or a Business Customer. However, the reduction of the limitation period won't apply to damage caused by smart's, its legal representatives' or agent's negligence or intentional breach of their respective obligations or in the event of death or personal injury or for any other liability which cannot be excluded by law.

Our liability for Our negligence is limited to breaches of Our material obligations:
1. which are essential to carrying out the Contract,
2. which would jeopardize the achievement of the purpose of the Contract; and
3. which You may rely upon in regular circumstances.

In case of a material breach of Our obligations, We are only liable for any foreseeable and typical contractual damages. This also applies to any breaches committed by Our legal representatives or agents. The personal liability of Our legal representatives, agents and Our employees for damages caused by them due to negligence is wholly excluded.

The exclusions of liability in clause 10.7 do not apply in the case of
1. a guarantee given by smart, including where smart has agreed a guarantee in relation to a specific feature of a Digital Service;
2. death or personal injury;
3. fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; and/or
4. any other liability which cannot be excluded by law.
5. Your Responsibilities
We strongly recommend that You take all available measures (e.g. device password, graphic pattern recognition, etc.) to protect the device You use to enter the Hello smart App and/or to use other Digital Services from misuse or unauthorized access by third parties.
We are entitled and obliged to take appropriate measures to defend against threats from cyber-attacks to Vehicle safety, road safety, life, health, privacy, property, assets and other legal interests of the user, Owner or keeper of a Vehicle or third parties as well as smart itself. Such measures may lead to restrictions of Digital Services and/or the data connection. Depending on the severity of the threat and/or the significance of the threatened legal interests, a (temporary) complete or partial blocking of the Digital Services as well as an interruption of the data connection may be necessary. In this situation, it may not be possible to use the Digital Services.
You must ensure that the use of Digital Services doesn't infringe any applicable laws, in particular relating to traffic safety and property rights. This includes ensuring that any installed Digital Services have been installed with the consent of the Owner and/or of the Vehicle.
If You sell or otherwise dispose of the Vehicle, You must delete the Vehicle from Your smart Account and manually deregister Yourself via the Central Display so You are no longer registered as the Primary User of the Vehicle and so You can't use any Digital Services connected to Your smart ID; these Digital Services aren't transferable to a third party and cannot be sold on. Other Digital Services are however permanently installed in the Vehicle. You are also required to delete Your personal data held in the Central Display of the Vehicle.
If You as the Primary User let third parties use the Vehicle, You will let them know that the Vehicle is connected to Your smart ID and that You can gain access to information about their use of the Vehicle. You tell them ofthe possibility to control data access via the Central Display, these Terms of Digital Services and Our Privacy Statement, which can be found here: https://uk.smart.com/en/service/data-protection/.

In this situation, You are the controller for the processing of personal data of the Vehicle users. As the responsible party, You must protect the legal rights of the Vehicle users concerned.
You cannot:
1. copy, translate, modify, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer the Digital Services or otherwise attempt to discover the source code and/or algorithms, except as otherwise provided in these Digital Terms or by law; and/or
2. remove, circumvent, reverse engineer, decrypt or otherwise modify or interfere with any digital rights management or copy protection features associated with the Digital Services or any other technology used to control access to the Digital Services.
3. Term and Termination
You may terminate the Contract for the use of Digital Services at any time by removing the link between Your smart ID and the Digital Service or by completely deleting Your smart ID. The deletion of the Hello smart App does not qualify as termination of the Contract. In any case, a termination of the Contract under this clause 12.1may not release You from a payment obligation relating to Subscribed Services (as defined in clause 4.3).
Termination under clause 12.1 may impact Your ability to use the Digital Services connected to Your smart ID and Your smart Account, such as the Hello smart App and/or the Digital Key (as far as already rolled out). On termination of the Contract We cannot provide features to You that require a smart ID. This however does not apply to Digital Services that are permanently available after download and/or purchase and don't require a smart Account or access to the Hello smart App to work.
Subscribed Services are made available for a fixed period of time or for an indefinite period of time. If they are available for a fixed period of time, they will be available until the end of the agreed period. The duration of the Subscribed Service period can be found in Your smart Account. During this period, You can't terminate the Subscribed Service without any reason. On expiry of the Subscribed Service period, it will deactivate automatically. If no duration has been agreed, the Subscribed Service can be terminated within the period given in the description of the Subscribed Service in Your smart Account.
If You sell or otherwise dispose of the Vehicle the term of Your Subscribed Service won't be affected. Such sale doesn't give You a right to terminate the Subscribed Service.
Both Parties rights of termination for cause remain unaffected in any case.
Smart may, at its sole discretion, block Your access to the Digital Services, temporarily or permanently, if there are reasonable grounds for believing that You are in breach of or have breached these Digital Terms or any applicable law. When deciding whether to block You, smart consider Your legitimate interests. If You repeatedly violate these Digital Terms despite being told not to, smart reserves the right to permanently block Your access to You smart ID (for details please see the smart ID Terms of Use here: https://uk.smart.com/en/service/terms-of-use/). smart will immediately notify You of such blocking by e-mail linked to Your smart ID.
