5.3 Access to the Application
In general, access to and use of the Application requires prior registration by the User.
Access to and use of the Application carried out via e-mail and the password chosen by the User shall be deemed to be carried out by the User, who shall be liable in all cases for such access and use. The User will be responsible at all times for the custody of his/her password, assuming, consequently, any damages that may arise from its improper use, as well as the transfer, disclosure or loss of the same.

5.4 Use of the Application
5.4.1 Users with Wi-Fi Home Terminals
Users with Wi-Fi Home Terminals will be able to use the Digital Service free of charge and without time limit, by downloading and registering in the Application.
The particular functionalities enabled in the Digital Service for Users with Wi-Fi Home Terminals will be detailed in the Application, as well as on the website or any other commercial or promotional material that FERMAX decides to make available to Users.
Without prejudice to the foregoing, FERMAX reserves the right to develop new functionalities in the future that may be subject to the payment of a Subscription for use by Users with Wi-Fi Home Terminals.
5.4.2 Non-Wi-Fi Home Terminal Users in Connected Facilities
Only Users with non-Wi-Fi Home Terminals in Connected Premises will be able to choose between the Service Plans detailed below to make use of the Digital Service.
In this regard, it should be noted that the FERMAX Connected Installations are currently only enabled in certain countries. Therefore, as of the date of these Conditions of Use, Users will only be able to make use of the Digital Service with non-Wi-Fi Home Terminals that are in Connected Installations located in Spain, without prejudice to the future expansion of FERMAX's connectivity strategy allowing the Digital Service to be provided progressively in other territories.
a) Service Plans
As of the date of these Terms of Use, Users who have non-Wi-Fi Home Terminals installed in Connected Premises may choose between:
- The free Service Plan: which allows a single User per household to access certain limited functionalities of the Digital Service free of charge and without the need for a Subscription.
- The paid Service Plan: which allows the Users of a dwelling to access all the functionalities of the Digital Service without the limitations of the Free Service Plan, and which requires a periodic payment through the formalisation of the corresponding Subscription within the Application by the main User of the dwelling.
The Service Plans present differences in terms of tariffs, duration, free trial period, billing methods, access requirements, connectivity, functionalities, conditions and/or compatibility with Devices, which are detailed in the Application or through any other commercial/promotional material describing the characteristics of the different Service Plans offered by FERMAX.
The Service Plans are linked to the dwellings themselves, so that a User may be associated to different Service Plans depending on the dwellings of which he/she is a main or guest User.
If a home has a free Service Plan or a paid Service Plan associated with it, the formalisation and management of said Plan will be carried out directly by the main User of said home. For this purpose, FERMAX will provide said User with the conditions applicable to said Plan during the registration process in the Application.
b) Billing and payment conditions
The use of the Digital Service through the free Service Plan does not require any Subscription, as it is offered free of charge to the User.
In the case of the paid Service Plan, the Home Main User must choose, at the end of the initial trial period (if such a trial period has been offered), whether to subscribe to the paid Service Plan or, if not, to continue to enjoy the limited functionality of the free Service Plan.
The Subscription to the paid Service Plan shall be carried out directly by the main User of the home from the Application by accessing the section "Settings - General - My Account - Active Plans'' or from any other shortcut enabled in the Application, without having to enter any bank details and/or information on any means of payment in the Application.
Adherence to this paid Service Plan shall imply Subscription to a monthly, annual or any other periodic payment plan of which the Main User of the dwelling is informed prior to the formalisation of the Subscription.
Said Subscription will be managed directly through the application markets (App Store for Apple users or Google Play for Android Users), in such a way that the processing of the information and data provided by the User to subscribe to the paid Service Plan (e.g. means of payment and/or bank accounts, among others) will be carried out directly by said third parties, without FERMAX having access to the same.
The charges corresponding to the User's Subscription will be billed by the relevant third party (App Store for Apple Users or Google Play for Android Users) using the payment information provided by the User for this purpose. The first payment will be charged through the payment method chosen by the User once the Subscription process has been completed, and the Subscription will be automatically renewed at the end of each billing period, unless the Subscription is cancelled in accordance with the cancellation instructions detailed below.
In any case, the Subscription to the paid Service Plan through third parties shall entail that, in addition to these Conditions of Use, the terms and conditions of the third party through which the User has formalised his/her Subscription may be applied to the use made by the User of the Digital Service offered by FERMAX.
c) Changes to Service Plan tariffs
FERMAX reserves the right to modify, delete and/or extend the Service Plans currently in force, as well as the tariffs and/or conditions of the Service Plans which, at any time, may be offered to Users.
In such a case, FERMAX shall inform Users at least thirty (30) days in advance by sending an e-mail to the address provided by the User when registering in the Application or by any other means that maximises the level of reception of the notification by the Users (for example, notifications in the Application itself).
In the case of the paid Service Plan associated with a home, if the main User of said home does not agree with the change of tariff and/or with the new conditions applicable to the contracted Plan, he/she may cancel the Subscription by following the instructions provided by FERMAX for this purpose. If the User does not cancel said Subscription before the new rates and/or conditions come into force, it will be understood that he/she agrees with the modification communicated, renewing his/her Subscription to the paid Service Plan at the new price and/or with the new conditions in force.
d) Cancellation
The cancellation of the Subscription to the paid Service Plan of a property can be managed by the main User of that property at any time from the Application by accessing the section 'Settings > General > My account > Active Plans' or from any other shortcut enabled in the Application.
However, THE USER MUST CANCEL THE SUBSCRIPTION PRIOR TO THE RENEWAL DATE OF THE SUBSCRIPTION IN ORDER TO AVOID BE CHARGED THE FEE FOR THE FOLLOWING BILLING CYCLE. In the event of cancellation, this will be effective at the end of the current subscription period, so that the User may continue to use the Digital Service until the end of the same.
e) Right of withdrawal
The User agrees that registration with the Application and, where applicable, Subscription to a paid Service Plan grants immediate access to the Digital Service and that, accordingly, the User shall not be entitled to withdraw from the Subscription agreement for fourteen (14) days (or as long as applicable law may determine from time to time) following the date of Subscription and obtain a refund of the fee paid.
f) No entitlement to reimbursement
Unless required by applicable law, FERMAX will not refund the amount of any Subscription nor will it grant credits or make refunds proportional to the amount of cancelled Subscriptions.
g) Promotional offers
In the event that FERMAX decides to apply new discounts or promotional offers to the Service Plans after the date on which a User has registered in the Application, such User shall not be entitled to any refund or adjustment in its Subscription fee.
On the other hand, new Users shall be entitled to benefit only once from the promotions that FERMAX may apply for "new customers".
The requirements for participating in any special promotion will be established by FERMAX at the time the promotion is launched, and FERMAX has the exclusive power to determine the requirements that must be met for a User to benefit from a promotional offer and reserves the right to cancel any offer in the event that it determines that the User does not meet the necessary requirements to benefit from it.
5.5. New services. Updates
The Digital Service offered by FERMAX is constantly evolving. Therefore, FERMAX reserves the right to incorporate new features and services to the Digital Service, and the User consents to FERMAX making available and offering the use of such new functionalities.
Similarly, FERMAX may provide updates, bug fixes or other changes or enhancements to the Application (collectively, "Service Updates") at any time. By registering for the Application, the User agrees to receive all Service Updates without prior notice. Service Updates may include:
- automatic, which relate to general changes to the Application and/or the implementation of additional functionalities;
- In such case, the User will receive the necessary information and instructions to authorise, if interested, the Optional Service Upgrades;
- mandatory, in which case you must accept the Service Update to maintain access to the Application.
The User is advised that access to the Application may be unavailable during a Service Update.
6 EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY
6.1 Information and use of the Application by the User
Access to the Application does not imply any obligation on the part of FERMAX to check the truthfulness, accuracy, adequacy, suitability, completeness and timeliness of the information provided through it.
The User accepts that FERMAX assumes no responsibility for the delay, deletion, erroneous delivery, or failure to store User communications.
FERMAX accepts no responsibility either for the decisions taken on the basis of the information supplied in the Application or for damages of any nature which may be due to the misuse of the Digital Service by the User.
Likewise, the User declares that he/she is aware that the Digital Service will be provided by FERMAX automatically, the latter being limited to carrying out the order which, to this effect, is initiated through the Application by the User or by any third party authorised by him/her, FERMAX not being responsible, therefore, for verifying the identity of the persons authorised to access the Building nor for the possible damages which the misuse of the Digital Service by the latter may entail for the said Building.
FERMAX applies data protection measures by design and by default, ensuring that all its processing, for which Fermax is responsible, is carried out in accordance with the principles of the RGPD, paying special attention to the security of the processing and transparency in the purposes for which the personal data will be processed.
Only persons of legal age may register for an account as a Primary User on the Application.
As part of the Digital Service, the functionality called ‘automatic image capture’ or ‘photocaller’ makes it possible to consult the calls that the User receives through the video door entry system, which include the date and time of the call, the status (e.g. answered, unanswered or answered from another terminal) and a photograph of the person who called the User's home. In this regard, the User shall refrain from using the Digital Service and the functionality related to the automatic capture of images for any illegal purpose, agreeing not to use the Application to capture, publish, transmit, disseminate or store any content that infringes legitimate rights and interests of others, such as the protection of personal data, intellectual property rights, trade secrets of third parties and any other fundamental rights.
FERMAX may directly delete any information stored by the User during the use of the Application that it suspects is unlawful or infringes the legitimate rights of third parties or the provisions of these Terms of Use.
If the User infringes any of the above specifications of use and, in doing so, causes damage to third parties, he/she shall assume full responsibility and exonerate FERMAX from any loss or expense arising therefrom.
6.2 Use of the Digital Service
The use of the Application is subject to all applicable regulations and the User shall be solely responsible for the content and data entered through the Application.
FERMAX adopts various protective measures to protect the Application against computer attacks by third parties and maintains a continuous process of evaluation of the cyber security of its products and services. However, access to the Application does not imply any obligation on the part of FERMAX to control the absence of viruses or any other harmful computer element in the mobile devices on which Users download the Application. It is the User's responsibility, in any case, to ensure the availability of suitable tools for the detection and disinfection of harmful computer programs.
FERMAX accepts no responsibility for any damage caused to the mobile devices of Users or third parties during access to the Application.
FERMAX does not grant any guarantee nor is it responsible, under any circumstances, for damages of any nature that may arise from access to or use of the Contents or the Application. Among others, and by way of example and without limitation, FERMAX accepts no responsibility for the following circumstances:
- The lack of maintenance and effective functioning of the Application and/or its Contents: (i) due to causes not directly attributable to FERMAX, (ii) when there are force majeure causes or; (iii) in those cases in which the configuration of the mobile devices and/or the connectivity conditions of the Users' homes (e.g., existence of modem or router, internet connection speed, etc.) are not adequate to allow the correct functioning of the Application, its Contents and/or the Digital Service provided through it.
- The fact that the User cannot make use of the Application to use functionalities not included in the Digital Service enabled for the User based on the User's profile (e.g. Digital Service User via a Wi-Fi Home Terminal, Digital Service User via a non-Wi-Fi Home Terminal with a Free Plan or Digital Service User via a non-Wi-Fi Home Terminal with a paid Service Plan Subscription).
- The existence of viruses, malicious or harmful programmes in the Contents.
- The reception, obtaining, storage, dissemination or transmission, by the Users, of the Contents.
- The illicit, negligent, fraudulent use, contrary to the terms of these Terms of Use, or to good faith and public order, of the Application or its Contents, by the Users.
6.3 Availability of the Digital Service
Access to the Application requires services and supplies from third parties, including the transport of information through telecommunications networks whose reliability, quality, continuity and operation is not the responsibility of FERMAX. Consequently, the services provided through the Application may be suspended, cancelled or become inaccessible, prior to or at the same time as the Digital Service is to be provided through the same.
FERMAX accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind caused to the User as a result of failures or disconnections in the telecommunications networks, computer failures or other electronic systems that lead to the suspension, cancellation or interruption of access to the Application.
Likewise, FERMAX shall not be liable for damages of any kind caused to Users as a consequence of the service being down when, for reasons beyond FERMAX's control, this has its origin in the uninstallation and/or failure of the electronic devices that enable the Digital Service to be provided.
6.4 Limitation of liability
FERMAX shall make every effort to ensure that Users can enjoy the Digital Service on a continuous and personalised basis. However, the Digital Service is provided "as is" and "as available" and, therefore, access to the Application may be interrupted for reasons of maintenance, updating or for any other reason, in particular, of a technical nature. FERMAX accepts no liability whatsoever for such interruptions and the consequences that these may have for the User and assumes no responsibility with regard to any condition, statement or guarantee that is not expressly included in these Conditions of Use.
Likewise, FERMAX assumes no liability to Users and/or third parties for indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages of any kind as a result of the use of the Digital Service.
However, if applicable, FERMAX's liability will be limited, in any case, to the amount paid by the User, if any, for the use of the Digital Service during the last billing cycle (monthly, yearly, etc.).
It is hereby stated that the above exclusions and limitations shall only apply to the extent permitted by the legislation which, in each case, may be imperatively applicable to the User.
7 PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA
Any personal data provided by Users during the registration process and use of the Application shall be treated in accordance with the terms established in the FERMAX Privacy Policy.
8 USE OF COOKIES
Users are informed that the exception established in article 22.2 of the LSSI applies to the cookies (or similar storage technologies) used by FERMAX in the Application (hereinafter, the "Cookies"), without it therefore being necessary to obtain the user's consent to their use. Specifically, the purposes of the Cookies used in the Application are detailed in the FERMAX Privacy Policy.
9 MODIFICATION OF THE CONDITIONS OF USE
FERMAX reserves the right to modify these Conditions of Use at any time, in particular to comply with any new regulation or legislation, or to improve the use of the Application by the User.
Any modification to the Terms of Use shall be integrated into this document and shall be effective from the moment it is published in the Application, it being understood that the User agrees with the modifications included if he/she continues to use the Application once they have been published, being able to unsubscribe from the service, if he/she does not agree with the modifications included, by: i) cancelling any current Subscription to the Service Plans, ii) deleting his/her User account and iii) uninstalling the Application. Consequently, FERMAX invites Users to check these Terms of Use periodically.
10 NULLITY AND VOIDABILITY
In the event that any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be invalid or voidable, in whole or in part, such invalidity or voidability shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use, which shall remain in full force and effect.
11 LEGISLATION AND COMPETENT JURISDICTION
