LIMITED WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMERS
Disclaimer of warranty on software.
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OTHER THAN WHAT IS EXPLICITLY STATED HEREIN. HUWiM, ITS LICENSORS AND DISTRIBUTORS DO NOT GUARANTEE THE SOFTWARE OR RELATED DOCUMENTATION IN TERMS OF THEIR CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. HUWiM AND ITS LICENSORS AND DISTRIBUTORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, AVAILABILITY, PERFORMANCE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of express or implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you, and you may have other rights, which may vary according to your jurisdiction.
Warranty for hardware
All HUWiM related hardware warranty will be covered by the manufacturer. In cases where HUWiM is to supply the hardware, HUWiM will provide contact information and process for warranty claims.
The Warranty begins from the date of original purchase of the hardware from HUWiM or an HUWiM authorized reseller. If there is a defect during the warranty period, HUWiM, at its option and to the extent required by law, will (a) facilitate repair of the hardware at no charge using new parts or parts that are equivalent to new in reliability and performance, (b) exchange the product with a functionally equivalent product that is new or equivalent to new in reliability and performance, or (c) refund the original purchase price. This Warranty excludes damage resulting from accidents, abuse, or other causes that can be determined not to be defects in materials and workmanship, including but not limited to when the hardware has been used or maintained in a manner not conforming to the user documentation and Terms. The removal, defacing, and/or altering of the original factory serial number or modifying or repairing the hardware without authorization from HUWiM/Manufacturer will void this warranty.
HUWiM does not warrant, represent, or undertake that it will be able to repair or replace the hardware under this Warranty without risk to or loss of information and/or data stored on the hardware. In no event will HUWiM be liable for (a) any losses that were not caused by HUWiM’s breach of this Warranty, (b) any loss or damage that was not, at the time of the purchase of the hardware, a reasonably foreseeable consequence of HUWiM breaching this Warranty, or (c) losses relating to any business, loss of profits, loss of data, or loss of opportunity. The provisions of this Warranty shall not apply to (1) death or personal injury, (2) fraud or gross negligence, (3) fraudulent misrepresentation, or (4) any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded as a matter of law.
Certain states or countries may not allow limitations on the warranty’s duration, or allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. Therefore, the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. Note that this Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary according to your state or country. For a full understanding of your rights, you may consult the laws of your state, province, or country. To submit a warranty claim, please contact HUWiM Customer Care as outlined below. Please be prepared to provide your proof of purchase for any warranty claims.

Privacy and data collection
Data collection.
You acknowledge that HUWiM needs to collect and process certain data relating to your devices in order for us to provide you our services. The following summarizes what kind of data the Software typically collects and for what purpose.
Technical and security data.
For HUWiM to secure your device/data traceability, all data processed in our system will have a ID reference to the device used during data collection. This data typically consists of object security data, analysis results, statistics and file metadata. Our design principle is to make it impossible for HUWiM to link this type of data to specific persons.
Personal data.
HUWiM also collects and processes data in a manner that is personally identifiable to you. Such data typically consists of i) data that you actively send to us (for example contact and registration information, information to solve a support issue) and ii) data automatically collected by the Software or triggered by your use of particular features (for example license allocation, device, and software information, user account activity, geographic location of your device, operation system, etc.)
Transfers, disclosures, and compliance.
HUWiM may not utilize its affiliates or sub-contractors to undertake any of the above data processing activities. HUWiM may not disclose specific data to its distributors or operator partners unless given written permission by the customer/data owner. Such parties may be located in the EEA or outside the EEA. While HUWiM collects and processes data, all collected data is fully owned by the customer.
AUTHORIZATIONS FROM YOU TO HUWiM
For the Software to function as intended, you authorize HUWiM, on your behalf, to collect and process data from Software to HUWiM backend systems.
FEEDBACK
For any direct feedback, ideas, and improvement suggestions that you provide to HUWiM (together “Feedback”), you give HUWiM a worldwide, non-exclusive transferrable, sublicensable, free right to make use of such Feedback in any of our products and business for the duration of the legal protection granted by applicable copyright or industrial property rights laws, regulations and international treaties and conventions.
General
Changes.
HUWiM is constantly improving its services. HUWiM reserves the right to modify features or functionality of the Software. HUWiM makes such changes, for example to provide you with better products or services, to adjust the Software to changes in the market or regulations, and to take into account any subsequent technical constraints. Hence, HUWiM reserves the right to upgrade and make changes to the Software from time to time. Such changes may include, but are not limited to adding new features or removing existing features. Where such an upgrade or change is not automated but provided to you as a voluntary option, you should use the latest version of the Software for optimized security and usability. HUWiM further reserves the right to end the maintenance and support for certain versions of the Software (including versions designed to be used in certain operation systems), which may lead to the Software becoming inoperable. Use of the Software, for which the maintenance is discontinued, is not recommended and such use is entirely at your own responsibility. As the Software is likely to evolve during your subscription, HUWiM may need to revise these Terms in connection with updates and the revised Terms shall upon acceptance apply to the corresponding versions of the Software. The use of the Software with updates is not possible without accepting the updated Terms when required. When you accept a new version of the Terms upon installing the service to a new Device or updating the version on a current Device, the new version shall automatically cover all Devices and installations of your subscription.
If any part of these Terms is found void and unenforceable, it will not affect the validity of the rest of the Terms, which shall remain valid and enforceable.
Data transfer costs.
You acknowledge that use of the Software may result in additional data transfer costs. Such added costs may vary according to the type of Device / connection / operator network and you as a customer, not HUWiM, are responsible for such costs.
Additional terms.
The Software may contain web applications, web portals, or third-party software (“Sites”). The use of such Sites may be subject to additional terms. You agree to review such additional terms of use and only use such Sites accordingly. Such Sites may also be those of HUWiM’s distributor or of other third parties. Where Sites are provided by a third party, HUWiM has no liability for such Sites.
Availability.
You are informed and hereby accept that all or part of the Software may be temporarily unavailable or non-operational for repairs, upgrades, maintenance, or for reasons beyond HUWiM’s reasonable control (force majeure). HUWiM, its licensors or its distributors shall not be held liable for the consequences of such interruptions and shall undertake to restore the availability and operation of the Software as rapidly as reasonably possible, depending on the technical constraints encountered.
Termination.
Without prejudice to any other rights of termination or expiration in these Terms or under contract or law; HUWiM may terminate your license to the Software immediately without notice if you are in breach of any of these Terms or use the Software’s functions for purposes other than those indicated in the official documentation.
Where HUWiM observes that you are using the Software i) in breach of these Terms, ii) other applicable terms or iii) its intended purpose or iv) in a manner that could jeopardize its use by a third party (for example by monopolizing the access bandwidth) or to cause harm to a third party; HUWiM reserves the right (i) to not renew your license, (ii) to limit your use of the Software or part thereof, and (iii) to terminate the license. In the event that the agreement between HUWiM and HUWiM’s distributor providing you with the Software is terminated, HUWiM or its distributor may notify you of premature termination of your license. You shall not be entitled to a refund, damages, or other compensation from HUWiM as a result of such termination. All restrictions of use shall survive termination.
Export restrictions.
You acknowledge and agree that the Software may be subject to restrictions and controls imposed by national laws and regulations, including but not limited to European Union export regulations or the United States Export Administration Act (collectively “Export Rules”). You agree and certify that neither the Software nor any direct product thereof is being or will be acquired, shipped, transferred, or re-exported, directly or indirectly, into any country for which such export is prohibited under the Export Rules and the regulations thereunder, nor will it be used for any purpose prohibited by the same. By using the Software, you are acknowledging and agreeing to the foregoing, and you are representing and warranting that you will comply with the Export Rules when either exporting or re-exporting or importing the Software or any underlying information technology. Further, you represent and warrant that you are not a national of any Norwegian embargoed country.
High-risk activities.
The Software is not fault-tolerant unless expressly stated in the product documentation and is not designed, manufactured, or intended for use or resale as control equipment in hazardous environments that require fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, direct life support machines, or weapons systems, in which the failure of the Software could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage (“High Risk Activities”). HUWiM and its suppliers specifically disclaim any express or implied warranty of fitness for High Risk Activities.
Governing law and dispute resolution.
Unless otherwise stated below, these Terms shall be governed under the laws of Norway without regard to conflict of laws, rules, and principles, and without regard to the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The courts of Norway shall have the exclusive jurisdiction and venue to adjudicate any dispute arising out of these Terms.
In the case of licenses purchased within or on behalf of licensees residing within the United States or operating under the laws of the United States, the governing law of these Terms shall be the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of laws, rules, and principles, and without regard to the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. In such cases, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue to adjudicate any dispute arising out of these Terms shall be of the federal and state courts located in New York.
In respect of licenses purchased by consumers residing outside Norway or the United States, these Terms may be governed by the mandatory local laws of such jurisdictions. Where HUWiM should elect not to insist upon enforcing its rights in line with these Terms, this shall not be interpreted as a waiver of HUWiM’s right to enforce the same in the future.
