The Application provides Users the following features (the “Services”).

3.1.1 Controlling Connected objects

Using the Application, Users can:

-detect and directly control any Connected object located in a close perimeter;

-connect to any OTIO brand gateway for which they have an access code, in order to remotely control the Connected objects connected to this gateway (the “Gateway”) at all times.

In both cases, the Application allows to:

-control the activation and deactivation of the Connected object;

-if necessary, check the Connected object settings;

-where applicable, view the measurements and information of any type that the Connected object collects as part of its functionalities, such as the temperature or humidity level of the location where it is placed.

 

3.1.2 Moods and Scenarios

Users can pre-program the activation, deactivation and/or, if necessary, the adjustment of a Connected object and/or several combined Connected objects directly if they are within its close perimeter or remotely via the Gateway.

The settings thus programmed can be triggered, at the User’s choice:

-temporarily and/or at times and dates predefined by the User (the “Moods”);

-on the occurrence of a specific event, such as the activation or deactivation of a Connected object, or according to the measurement elements collected by the Connected objects where they are located (the “Scenarios”).

At all times, Users can activate, modify, deactivate and/or delete any Scenario or Mood they have created.

Article 4 – RESPONSIBILITIES

4.1Responsibility of the User

The User undertakes to take all necessary precautions for the secure use of their account and to prevent any fraudulent use of it by a third party.

As such, they are solely responsible:

-for the choice of a strong and sufficiently secure password to protect their account, which they undertake to keep secret, not to copy on any medium of any kind and not to communicate to any third party;

– for protecting access to the devices and/or Control Tools through which they use the Application.

Similarly, the User accepts and acknowledges that the sole purpose of the Application is to facilitate the control of the Connected objects on site and remotely, the User freely choosing the Connected objects and Gateways that they connect to their account and remains responsible for the use they make of them.

The User is therefore solely responsible for the activation, deactivation, adjustment, programming and any other action or omission on their part or on the part of the persons for whom they are responsible, concerning the Application, Gateways, Connected objects, Moods and Scenarios, at all times and in all locations.

In particular, the User is solely responsible:

-for the proper installation, configuration, maintenance and updating of the Application, Gateways and Connected objects connected thereto, in accordance with the instructions provided by HBF, the manufacturer and/or seller of the Gateway or Connected object in question, as well as any other applicable safety precautions, rules or instructions;

-for the prudent, vigilant and proper use of the Application, Gateways and Connected objects, in accordance with the instructions provided by HBF, the manufacturer and/or seller of the Gateway or Connected object in question, as well as any other applicable safety precautions, rules or instructions;

-for any explicit or tacit authorisation and any action or omission by which they allow third parties, regardless of who they are, to access their account and/or a Gateway they own, or to access and/or control one or more Connected objects they own;

-for any other decision, conduct, action or omission on their part or that of the persons for whom they are responsible concerning the Application, the Connected objects and the Gateways.

In addition, the User will refrain from using the Application to control a Gateway or a Connected object belonging to a third party without the explicit prior consent of the latter, and in general, to make use of the Application, the Gateways and/or the Connected objects in a manner likely to harm third parties, their health, safety, property and/or any other right they may claim.

More generally, the User explicitly acknowledges and accepts that they are solely responsible for the placement and use (with or without the application) of the Connected objects within their home.

Finally, the User undertakes to scrupulously respect these T&Cs when using the Application, and to ensure that they are respected by the persons for whom they are responsible.

In any event, the User undertakes to compensate HBF, without limitation of amount, for all costs and damages of any kind whatsoever resulting from any proceedings or claims to which it may be subject as a result of a breach by the User of the aforementioned duties.

In addition, HBF’s liability for Control Tools and Connected objects of which it is not the manufacturer is strictly limited to their interoperability with the Application, provided that the manufacturing, programming, maintaining and updating conditions for the said Control Tools and Connected Objects necessary for such interoperability are met.
