Terms of Use
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE WEBSITE OR THE APP ON YOUR DEVICE
These Terms of Use (these “Terms”) constitute a legal agreement between you and Dio Technologies, Inc. (“Dio,” “us,” “our,” or “we”) in respect of your use of the website (www.dioconnect.com) (the “Site”) or mobile application (the “App”) and the services and products provided therein, (collectively with the Site and App, the “Services”).
By accessing the Services, or downloading and installing the App onto your device, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, we do not grant you permission to use the Services, and you must not use them and you must uninstall the App from your device. We may immediately terminate these Terms, the Services, or generally cease offering or deny access to the Services or any portion thereof, at any time for any reason.
YOUR ACCESS
General Access
These Terms apply to the Services including any updates or supplements to the Services, unless they come with separate terms, in which case those terms apply. We may change these Terms at any time and will notify you of a material change when you next access the Services (we may also email you about any material changes to these Terms). The new terms may be displayed on-screen and your continued use of the Services acts as acknowledgement and consent to these changes. The date these Terms were last updated appears at the bottom of these Terms.
From time-to-time we may issue updates to the Services. Depending on the update, you may not be able to use the Services until you have downloaded and installed the latest version of the Services, or hosting software, and accepted any new terms. Some updates may not be available to certain device models. In order to use the Services, you may be required to obtain certain updates and/or upgrades to your device. You are responsible for any costs and/or fees associated with any such updates/upgrades. You also understand and accept that (a) the device you use to access the Services will require certain software in order for the Services to work correctly and it is your responsibility to ensure that you have the required up-to-date software, (b) the Services has not been developed to meet your individual requirements, and it is therefore your responsibility to ensure that the functionality of the Services meets your requirements, and (c) you are responsible for obtaining the data network access, and the required device necessary (including any associated costs or fees) to use the Services and any updates thereto. Dio does not guarantee the Services will function on any particular network or device. In addition, the Services may be subject to malfunctions and delays inherent in the use of the Internet and electronic communications.
Access to the Services may be suspended temporarily and without notice (i) in the case of system failure, (ii) for maintenance or repair, (iii) where we reasonably suspect there has been a breach of these Terms, (iv) for reasons reasonably beyond our control, or (v) as otherwise explained in these Terms.
App Access
Once the App becomes available, your use of the App under these Terms is also subject to any terms, rules or policies of any app store provider and/or operator (“App Store Provider”) from which you have downloaded the App (“App Store Terms”). In the event of any conflict between these Terms and any App Store Terms, the App Store Terms will prevail. You and we acknowledge and agree that, if you have downloaded the App from the Apple AppStore, Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries under these Terms and Apple will have the right to enforce these Terms against you directly.
We and our service providers are responsible for any maintenance and support of the App and you acknowledge that any App Store Provider from which you download the App is not under any obligation to you to carry out any maintenance and/or support for the App itself.
You may only download and install the App onto a device that you own, or if you do not own the device, you must have the permission from the owner(s) to do so. You accept responsibility under these Terms for the use of the App, whether or not you own the device onto which the App is downloaded and installed. You also acknowledge that the owner(s) of the device onto which the App is installed may be charged by any relevant mobile network operator and/or internet service provider in relation to any data and/or mobile connectivity used by the App.

We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, which shall not excuse your indemnity obligations. In such event, you shall provide the Indemnified Parties with such cooperation as is reasonably requested by the Indemnified Parties.
WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
WE PROVIDE THE SERVICES (INCLUDING PRODUCTS) ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. WE MAKE NO GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE, OR FREE FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. While we take reasonable precautions to prevent the existence of computer viruses and/or other malicious programs, we accept no liability for them. We also make no promises or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the content in the Services is accurate, complete or up-to-date. To the extent permitted by law, we exclude all conditions, warranties, representations and other terms, which may apply to the Services, whether express or implied, including without limitation any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement of the rights of third-parties with respect to the Services and all information and content included on the Services.
No information or advice obtained through the Services, or any affirmation by us, by words or actions, shall constitute a warranty.
We only provide the Services for domestic, personal and private use. You agree not to use the Services for any commercial, business or resale purposes, and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, the foregoing disclaimers may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, if there is a breach of warranty, you may notify Apple if you purchased the App from Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation or liability whatsoever.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, ANY BREACH OF SECURITY OR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE, LOST DATA, PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE SERVICES (INCLUDING PRODUCTS) OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES) ARISING FROM, RELATING TO, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE USE OR THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS, HOWSOEVER ARISING AND WHETHER FRAMED IN CONTRACT OR TORT, REGARDLESS OF THE NEGLIGENCE (EITHER ACTIVE, AFFIRMATIVE, SOLE, OR CONCURRENT) OF DIO, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with the Services including, without limitation, content on the Services, is to stop using the Services. Such limitation shall also apply with respect to damages incurred by reason of services or products received through or advertised in connection with the Services or any links on the Services, as well as by reason of any information or advice received through or advertised in connection with the Services or any links on the Services. Such limitation shall also apply with respect to damages incurred by reason of any content posted by a third-party or conduct of a third-party on the Services.
In the event the foregoing exclusion of liability is determined, in whole or in part, to be invalid or unenforceable, then the Indemnified Parties’ liability arising in connection with the Services or under these Terms whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, shall not exceed the greater of: (i) One Hundred Dollars ($100), or (ii) the purchase price of the product giving raise to the dispute. You agree that any claim or cause of action arising under these Terms or the performance or non-performance of the Services must be brought to us (and not the App Store Provider) and must be brought within one year after such claim or cause of action arises or be forever barred.
THE LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMER IN THIS SECTION DO NOT PURPORT TO LIMIT LIABILITY OR ALTER YOUR RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF OR THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES OR JURISDICTIONS, DIO’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. THIS PROVISION SHALL HAVE NO EFFECT ON DIO’S CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION SET FORTH BELOW.
TERMINATION
We may terminate these Terms, deactivate your Account, and/or your permission to use the Services immediately, without prior notice or liability, if (a) you commit any breach of these Terms, (b) we discontinue the Services, or (c) we are prevented from providing the Services for any reason.
Furthermore, we reserve the right to change, edit, suspend delete and/or cancel any part of the Services and/or your access to them at any time with or without notice to you: (i) if required by law, (ii) due to an event beyond our control, or (iii) as a result of changes, cancellations or revocation of approval by any applicable App Store Provider.
On termination of these Terms for any reason: (w) all rights granted to you under these Terms will cease immediately, (x) you must immediately cease all activities authorized by these Terms (including your use of the Services), (y) you must immediately uninstall and remove the App from your device(s), and (z) you acknowledge that we may restrict your access to the Services and/or remove the App from your device. Sections 7, 9, 10, and 13-18 will survive any termination or expiration of these Terms.
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN US
If you wish to contact us in writing, or if any condition in these Terms require you to give us notice in writing, you can send this to us by email or by prepaid post using the contact details at the bottom of these Terms. If we have to contact you or give you notice in writing, we may do so by email or using any other contact details you provide to us.
OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organization, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms.
If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce any of our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived any of our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
Each of the conditions of these Terms operates separately. If any court or competent authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, such provisions shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining conditions will remain in full force and effect. Other than as expressly set out in these Terms, no one other than you and us is intended to have any right or ability to enforce any of the provisions of these Terms.
These Terms are governed by California law, without regard to conflicts of law provisions thereof, and the state and federal courts located within California will have exclusive jurisdiction of all disputes relating to these Terms.
These Terms are binding upon you, your heirs, executors, beneficiaries, successors and assigns and you may not assign these Terms to any other party without our prior written consent. Such consent may be withheld in our sole discretion, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void. We may assign these Terms to any party without notice thereof to you.
These Terms were last updated on March __, 2021.
