1. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

1.1 The terms of this EULA apply to the App, the Documents or any of the Services accessible through the App including any updates or supplements to the App and Documents, unless they come with separate terms, in which case those terms apply. If any open-source software is included in the App or any Service, the terms of an open-source licence may override some of the terms of this EULA.

1.2 We may change these terms at any time by sending you a notice with details of the change when you next start the App. The new terms may be displayed on-screen and you may be required to read and accept them to continue your use of the Services.

1.4 You will be assumed to either own the relevant device or have obtained permission from the owner(s) of any mobile telephone or handheld devices that are controlled, but not owned, by you ("Devices") with regards to the download or streaming of the App onto the Devices. You (or the owner) may be charged by your (or the owner’s) service providers for internet access on the Devices. You accept responsibility in accordance with the terms of this EULA for the use of the App, the Documents and the Services on or in relation to any Device, whether or not it is owned by you.

1.5 The terms of our privacy notice, as updated from time to time and available at https://eu.salusconnect.io/legal/privacy ("Privacy Notice"), are incorporated into this EULA by reference. Certain other Services may be specified by us as having separate applicable privacy policies. Additionally, by using the App or any Service, you acknowledge and agree that internet transmissions are not guaranteed to be completely private or secure. You understand that there is a possibility that any message or information you send using the App or any Service may be read or intercepted by others, even where a particular transmission is encrypted.

The Healthcheck Services shall consist of the monitoring by Salus of your heating systems (including your thermostat, gateway and/or pipe sensor) for the purpose of detecting abnormal behavior. In the event that we detect any abnormal behavior in these systems, the App will send a report of the anomaly to a member of our support team based in the United Kingdom. The Salus support team will assess the report and if the anomaly is verified as indicating a potential defect in your heating system, we will refer the issue to a third-party maintenance provider, so that the maintenance provider can contact you to arrange an inspection and (if necessary) the repair of your heating system.

1.8 The Healthcheck Services consist of (a) the remote detection and reporting of potential defects in your heating system, and (b) the referral of any potential defects in your heating system to a third-party maintenance provider. The Healthcheck Services do not include the inspection, repair or maintenance of your heating system. We are not responsible for any inspection, repair or maintenance services provided to you by a third-party provider (“Third-Party Services”) following a referral by us in connection with the Health Check Services. We do not charge you for the provision of the Healthcheck Services, however you may be charged by the provider of the Third-Party Services for any inspection and repair costs, should you accept those services from the third-party provider. You retain full discretion as to whether you accept the Third-Party Services and the associated costs; we do not oblige you to do so.
