Applicable fees for the Services, if any, must be paid in advance unless the Service offer expressly states otherwise. If You do not have a Payment Account on file with us You must provide us with payment monthly (or other payment period offered by us and chosen by You) in advance. The price of the Services may change over time, and we will charge the prices then in effect for the applicable payment period. You will be notified of any price increase applicable to Services You are paying for, so that You can cancel the Service if You do not wish to pay the higher price.
    The purchase or lease price of your Vehicle may have included a trial period for some of the Services, or we may otherwise offer You a trial period for some of the Services. If so, those Services will stop automatically without further notice at the end of the trial period, unless You elect to continue the Services and agree to pay the associated fees. If You elect to continue the Services and agree to pay the associated fees, we will automatically charge those fees to the payment method associated with your account according to the terms of your authorization.

  1. Service Limitations.

15.1 The Services are only available in the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada. The Services rely on wireless communication networks and the Global Positioning System ("GPS") satellite network. NOT ALL SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE, PARTICULARLY IN REMOTE OR ENCLOSED AREAS, OR ON ALL VEHICLES, AT ALL TIMES. The area You are driving in may affect the Services that we can provide to You, including routing services.

15.2 The Services only work in places where we have retained a Wireless Service Provider for Service in that area and only if the Wireless Service Provider has technical compatibility with the Connected Device, coverage, network capacity, and reception when and where the Service is needed. Services that use location information about your Vehicle only work if GPS satellite signals are unobstructed, available in that place and compatible with your Vehicle systems.

15.3 YOUR VEHICLE MUST HAVE A WORKING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (INCLUDING ADEQUATE BATTERY POWER) FOR THE SERVICES TO OPERATE.

15.4 The Services may not work if:

15.5  We and the Wireless Service Providers are not responsible for any delay or failure in performance that (a) may have been prevented by You taking reasonable precautions or (b) is caused by acts of nature, or forces or causes beyond our reasonable control (for example: public utility electrical failure, acts of war, government actions, terrorism, civil disturbances, labor shortages or difficulties - regardless of cause-or equipment failures including Internet, computer, telecommunication or other equipment failures).

15.6 The routing data we provide is based on the most current map information available to us, but the information may be inaccurate or incomplete. For example, the route data may not include information about one-way roads, turn restrictions, construction projects, seasonal roads or new roads. The suggested route may use a road that is closed for construction or a turn that is prohibited by signs at the intersection. Suggested routes also do not consider whether the areas traveled are residential, commercial, or mixed and do not factor in the availability of public or private goods and services. Therefore, You should use good judgment, obey traffic and roadway laws and instructions and evaluate whether following the routing data provided through the Services is safe and legal based on the current conditions.

15.7 We recommend that You carefully read the applicable terms and policies that make up this Agreement, including our Privacy Statement, before using the Services. If You use Third Party Services, You acknowledge that the applicable terms of service made available by that third party is a binding agreement solely between You and that third party, and not between You and us, and that we are acting solely as an intermediary between You and that third party. We are not responsible for the terms of service made available by such third party, including any Wireless Service Provider, and we have no obligations or liabilities under those terms of service.

15.8 We are not obligated to provide any maintenance or support for the Services, technical or otherwise. If we provide any maintenance or support for the Services, we may stop any such maintenance, support, or services at any time.

Appendix to User Terms

Standard End User License

Last Updated: January 1, 2017

 

This Standard End User License (“License”) applies to each App that You access or use in your Vehicle or Connected Device. Capitalized terms, if not defined in this License, are defined in the User Terms. If an App is provided by GM, then references to “Provider” in this license means GM.  If the App is provided by a third party as identified to You when You access the App, then references to “Provider” in this License means the third party identified to You at the time of download.  The Provider may present additional terms to You when You access or use an App. In that case, those additional terms apply in addition to the terms of this License, and this License will govern to the extent there are any conflicts. If You do not agree to this License, You must uninstall and not use the Apps.

THIS LICENSE INCLUDES AN AGREEMENT TO MANDATORY ARBITRATION, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT ANY DISPUTE RELATED TO THIS LICENSE TO BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN PROCEEDING IN COURT.

Accordingly, the parties agree that GM may enforce such rights and agreements in its own right (without being required to add the Provider as a party to any proceedings for such enforcement).

Provider may modify this License by providing notice to You, and if You do not agree with any modification, then You must stop using the App. Your continued use of the App will be deemed acceptance of such modifications.
