11. Agreed Usage and Limitations of Boxie Services

11.1 Intended Use of Boxie Services

The Services are intended to be accessed and used for non-time-critical information and control of Products. While we aim for the Services to be highly reliable, they are not intended to be available 100% of the time. The Services may be subject to sporadic interruptions and failures for a variety of reasons beyond Boxie’s control, including Wi-Fi intermittency, service provider uptime, mobile notifications and carriers, among others. You acknowledge these limitations and agree that Boxie is not responsible for any damages allegedly caused by the failure or delay of the Services.

11.2 Temporary Suspension

The Services may be suspended temporarily without notice for security reasons, system failure, maintenance and repair or other circumstances. You agree that you will not be entitled to any refund or rebate for such suspensions. Boxie does not offer any specific uptime guarantee for the Services.

11.3 System Requirements

For Services requiring a Wi-Fi network, you will not be able to access the Services without:

(a) a working Wi-Fi network in your home that is positioned to communicate reliably with the Products;

(b) an Account (required for some functionality);

(c) mobile clients such as a supported phone or tablet (required for some functionality);

(d) always-on broadband Internet access;

(e) other system elements that may be specified by Boxie.

For Services requiring a Bluetooth connection, you will not be able to access the Services without:

(a) an Account (required for some functionality);

(b) mobile clients such as a supported phone or tablet (required for some functionality) with Bluetooth connectivity;

(c) other system elements that may be specified by Boxie.

(d)

It is your responsibility to ensure you have all the required system elements and that they are compatible and properly configured. You acknowledge that the Services may not work as described when the requirements and compatibility have not been met.

11.4 Limitations on Information

The Services provide you information (“Product Information”) regarding the Products and their connection with other products and services. All Product Information is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not guarantee that it is correct or up to date.

12. Limitations of Boxie Services relating to third parties

12.1 General

The Services rely on or work with third party products and services. These third party products and services are beyond Boxie’s control, but their operation may impact or be impacted by the use and reliability of the Services. You acknowledge and agree that: (i) the use and availability of the Services is dependent on third party product vendors and service providers; and (ii) these third party products and services may not operate in a reliable manner 100% of the time, and they may impact the way that the Services operate.

12.2 Third Party Service Providers

You acknowledge that Boxie uses third party service providers to enable some aspects of the Services – such as, for example, data storage, synchronization, authentication and communication, and mobile device notifications through mobile operating system vendors and mobile carriers.

12.3 Equipment, ISP, Carrier

You acknowledge that the availability of the Services is dependent on (i) your computer, mobile device, home wiring, home Wi-Fi network, and other related equipment (“Equipment”), (ii) your Internet service provider (“ISP”), and (iii) your mobile device carrier (“Carrier”). You agree that you are responsible for all fees charged by your ISP and Carrier in connection with your use of the Services. You also acknowledge that you are responsible for compliance with all applicable agreements, terms of use/service, and other policies of your ISP and Carrier.

12.4 App Stores

You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the Mobile Apps is dependent on the third party websites from which you download the Mobile Apps, e.g., the App Store from Apple or the Android app market from Google (each an “App Store”). You acknowledge that these Terms of Service are between you and Boxie and not with an App Store. Each App Store may have its own terms and conditions to which you must agree before downloading Mobile Apps from it. You agree to comply with, and your license to use the Mobile Apps is conditional upon your compliance with, such App Store terms and conditions. To the extent such other terms and conditions from such App Store are less restrictive than, or otherwise conflict with, the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service, the more restrictive or conflicting terms and conditions in these Terms of Service apply.

12.5 Third Party Website Links and Referrals

The Site may contain links to other web sites operated by third parties (“Third Party Sites”) and referrals to third party vendors (“Referred Vendors”). Such Third Party Sites and Referred Vendors are not under our control. Boxie provides these links and referrals only as a convenience and does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to such Third Party Sites or Referred Vendors. Your use of these Third Party Sites is at your own risk.

12.6 Release

Boxie is not responsible for third parties or their products and services, including, without limitation, the App Stores, Third Party Products and Services, Third Party Sites, Referred Vendors, Equipment, ISPs, and Carriers. Boxie disclaims and you discharge, waive and release Boxie and its licensors and suppliers from any past, present, and future claims, liabilities, and damages, known or unknown, arising out of or relating to your interactions with such third parties and their products and services, even if you are unaware of a claim that might exist at the time of agreeing to this release.

13. Ownership and Intellectual Property

13.1 You agree that all confidential information, copyright and other intellectual property rights in the Product, Product Software, and Services are owned by Boxie or the people who have licenced us to use those rights. You agree that you have no rights in or to our Product, Product Software, and Services other than the right to use them in accordance with these Terms of Service.

13.2 You may only copy parts of the Services (including this Site) on to your own computer for your own personal use. You may not use the content of the Services in any other public or commercial way nor may you copy or incorporate any of the content of the Services into any other work, including your own web site without the written consent of Boxie. You must have a license from us before you can post or redistribute any portion of the Services.

13.3 Boxie retains full and complete title to all content on the Services, including any downloadable software and all data that accompanies it. You must not copy, modify or in any way reproduce or damage the structure or presentation of the Services or any content therein.

14.5 If you or we end your use of the Services or we withdraw the Services, we may delete or modify your Account or any other information we hold about you. You will also lose any rights you have to use the Services. We will not offer you compensation for any losses.

14.6 If you transfer a Product to a new owner, your right to use the Services with respect to that Product automatically terminates and the new owner will have no right to use the Product or Services using your Account and will need to register for a separate account with Boxie.

15. Our liability / responsibility to you

15.1 Unfortunately, due to the nature of the Internet and technology, the Services are provided on an “as available” and “as is” basis. This means we are unable to promise that your use of the Service will be uninterrupted, without delays, error-free or meet your expectations and we do not give any commitment relating to the performance or availability of the Services in these Terms or Service and, to the extent we are able to do so, we exclude any commitments that may be implied by law.

15.2 To the extent permitted by the law, we do not accept any responsibility whatsoever for any claims arising out of the provision of the Services (as these are provided for free).

15.3 In every case, we will never be responsible for any loss or damage that is not reasonably foreseeable.

16. Resolving disputes

16.1 If you have a dispute with us relating to the Services, in the first instance please contact us at goboxie.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally.

16.2 In the unlikely event that Boxie has not been able to resolve a dispute informally, we will discuss and agree with you the most effective way of resolving our dispute.

17. Changes to the Services

17.1 We are constantly updating and improving the Services to try and find ways to provide you with new and innovative features and services. Improvements and updates are also made to reflect changing technologies, tastes, behaviours and the way people use the Internet and our Services.

17.2 In order to do this, we may need to update, reset, stop offering and/or supporting a particular part of the Services, or feature relating to the Service ("changes to the Services"). These changes to the Service may affect your past activities on the Service, features that you use and your Product Information ("Service elements"). Any changes to the Services could involve your Service elements being deleted or reset.

17.3 You agree that a key characteristic of our Services is that changes to the Services will take place over time and this is an important basis on which we grant you access to the Services. Once we have made changes to the Services, your continued use of the Services will show that you have accepted any changes to the Services. You are always free to stop using the Services or deactivate your Account in the settings feature of the Services.

17.4 You agree that we will not be liable to you or to any third party for any change to the Services.

17.5 We will try, where possible and reasonable, to contact you to let you know about any significant changes to the Services.

18. Changes to the documents

18.1 We may revise these Terms of Service from time to time but the most current version will always be at goboxie.com

18.2 Changes will usually occur because of new features being added to the Service, changes in the law or where we need to clarify our position on something.

18.3 We will try, where possible and reasonable, to contact you to let you know about any significant changes to any of the documents referred to in these Terms of Service. We may contact you through the Service (for example by asking you to accept the changes before you continue to use the Service) or via a separate email.

18.4 Normally, we will try to give you some warning before the new terms become effective. However, sometimes changes will need to be made immediately and if this happens we will not give you any notice. Your continued use of the Service after we have changed the Terms of Service will show that you have accepted the changes.

19. Documents that apply to our relationship with you

19.1 The current version of the Terms of Service contains the only terms and conditions that apply to our relationship with you. Older versions of the Terms of Service will no longer apply to our relationship and will be completely replaced by the current version.

19.2 We intend to rely on these Terms of Service as setting out the written terms of our agreement with you for the provision of the Services. If part of the Terms of Service cannot be enforced then the remainder of the Terms of Service will still apply to our relationship.

19.3 If you do not comply with these Terms of Service and we do not take action immediately, this does not mean we have given up any right we have and we may still take action in the future.

20. Law

20.1 These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of England. The English courts will have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from or related to your use of the Services.

20.2 Nothing in this clause shall prevent either of us from seeking injunctive (emergency) or other equitable relief from the courts for matters related to data security, intellectual property or unauthorised access to the Services.

21. Assignment

These Terms of Service and any associated rights or obligations, may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by you without prior written consent from Boxie. These Terms of Service may be assigned by Boxie without restriction. These Terms are binding upon any permitted assignee.

22. Notifications

Boxie may provide notifications to you as required by law or other purposes via (at its option) email to the primary email associated with your Account, hard copy, or posting of such notice on the Site. Boxie is not responsible for any automatic filtering you or your network provider may apply to email notifications. Boxie recommends that you add @gooxie.com URLs to your email address book to help ensure you receive email notifications from Boxie.

23. Contact, feedback and complaints

23.1 If you need to contact us in relation to these Terms of Service or any other document mentioned in them, please contact us.
