Terms and conditions

Summary of Terms and Conditions

Heimgard Technologies AS (“Heimgard Technologies” or “We” or “Us”) offers an Internet of Things (“IoT”) platform allowing you to control your IoT devices, either locally or through the internet, hereafter referred to as the “Service”.

The Heimgard Technologies IoT platform consists of three main components;

The hub communicating with your IoT devices
The app controlling the hub
The cloud solution relaying data from your app to your hub when you are away from your local network, and storing anonymous usage data.

1. By using the Service, you accept our terms and conditions for such use. The terms and conditions are summarized in plain language below. To read the full legal terms and conditions, please see.

2. The Service is for private use only, and you have to abide by your country’s laws while using it. You cannot use it for commercial purposes, nor use it to gain unauthorized access. We cannot be held liable for any losses.

3. We own or have legitimate rights to the Service, including all its contents, its design, images, information etc. You cannot use any of that without our permission

4. You may choose to integrate third parties’ (i.e. security companies) services with Heimgard Technologies Service. Heimgard Technologies is not responsible or liable for such third party services or their functionality in connection with the Service

5. We do not store private information in our cloud without your consent. Generally, we strive not to store any personal data in the cloud at all but sometimes it is required for a specific feature. We may use the completely anonymous data to improve our Service or to help others to find usage patterns or frequent equipment failures etc. That will be done in a separate system and everything in the cloud is encrypted.

6. We do our best to make sure the Service functions correctly without bugs. There is no way to guarantee that though, and we cannot be held liable for unlimited damages caused by any faults.

7. We will keep the Service updated and ensure that measures are in place to keep it safe. We might have to bring parts of the Service offline in case of serious events. We will of course do our best to avoid this, and try to keep you updated on what is going on.

8. If we find that parts of the Service are not in use, not being used correctly, or are in some other way not functioning as intended, we may remove them.

9. By using our Service, we might send you some notifications of things we think are important to you. We don’t know your e-mail and other details unless you provide us with this, so we will push messages through the Service to get your attention. You can disable such notifications in the settings. However, you may not receive important messages by doing so.

10. We might have to make some changes to these terms and conditions. We will do our best to notify you of any important changes.

11. We are a Norwegian company, and as such, you must agree that Norway is the legal jurisdiction. We are, however, subject to your local mandatory consumer protection rights laws.

12. Even if we should fail to enforce these terms and conditions, it does not mean that we waive our right to do so.

13. You can always get in touch with us. See our web page to find contact information.
