1. About These Terms
This Remote Monitoring Software Licence Agreement and Terms of Use (the “Terms”) governs the relationship between us, Snap One, LLC and our group companies which include subsidiaries that are owned directly and indirectly by Snap One, LLC (“Company”, “we” or “us”), and you, an authorized dealer of our connected products and services (“Dealer“, “you“, “your“) related to our Software (as defined below).
As an authorized Dealer, you supply your customers (“End-Users“) with our Products (as defined below) and enable their use of the Products. Some of our Products come embedded with firmware that enables remote monitoring capabilities through the Software. You may provide services of your own in relation to the Products (see the definition of “Your Services”) that require you to have remote access to and make use of aspects of the Products. You may use our Software only in accordance with these Terms. In addition to these Terms, your status as an authorized Dealer may be governed by terms of a Dealer Agreement or other Terms of Use with the Company (the “Dealer Agreement”), and any use of our Software is subject to the applicable terms in that agreement as well, and nothing in this Agreement supersedes or negates any obligations in your Dealer Agreement. Any violation of these Terms or your Dealer Agreement may be cause for us to terminate you as an authorized dealer of the Company, in additional to pursuing any other remedies available to us.
We have a separate Privacy Policy that explains what personal data we collect and how we use it, you may have been provided with our Privacy Policy previously and it is also available here.
If you are an individual accepting these Terms on behalf of another person, a company or organization, you must have the authority to do so and to bind that person, company or organization to these Terms, both in relation to your own use, and that of all employees and contractors who will provide Your Services.

Personal Data: Information relating to an identified or identifiable individual, who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number (like a customer number or vehicle registration number), location data, an online identifier (like an IP address or e-mail address), or video/ surveillance feed.
Privacy Policy: A document that sets out how an organization uses Personal Data, including, among other things, details of what Personal Data is collected, how it is used, who can access it, and (in some states and countries) what the legal basis for handling the Personal Data is.
Processing (of Personal Data): Anything done with or to Personal Data, whether or not by automated means, including collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

Software: the software, including any downloadable software, software as a service, or related interfaces, that is provided to you by us, which enables collection of any data from any Product, and/or allows the remote monitoring or accessing of Products, including for the purpose of trouble shooting or improving networking or automation systems in which the Products are present. Software includes without limitation Bakpak, Composer Pro, OvrC, Luma and Invision.

3. Changes to these Terms
We may revise and update these Terms from time to time at our sole discretion. If we make material changes to these Terms or our Privacy Policy that will affect you, we will let you know either through a notice on the homepage or landing page of any online account or app that these Terms cover, or via e-mail (at the e-mail address you provide). All changes are effective immediately when we post them at www.snapone.com/legal. Your continued use of our Software and continued delivery of Your Services following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes. If you do not agree to any changes to these Terms then you must stop your use of any Software, which you acknowledge may impact your ability to continue to provide certain features of Your Services.
4. Privacy Responsibilities
Both parties will comply with all applicable requirements of Applicable Law.
You may be asked to provide End Users with copies of our Privacy Policy and End User Terms of Use and/or End User License Agreement. It is essential that you provide such documentation (including updates to it), in the format we require, to End Users upon and in accordance with our instruction. Failure to do so may result in the loss of your authorized Dealer status and may cause a revocation of your license to use our Software.
Other than Personal Data that you collect on our behalf and transmit directly to us such as basic Product registration information, and the MAC Address and IP address, etc. that we collect directly from the Product without your involvement, you are the Data Controller of all End Users’ Personal Data that you handle in the course of your role as an authorized Dealer (including, but not limited to, the provision of Your Services).
Being “Data Controller” (or Business under California privacy laws) means that you are legally responsible for keeping Personal Data safe and secure and for ensuring that your collection, storage, sharing and use of Personal Data always takes place in accordance with Applicable Law. Snap One will act as the Data Processor or Service Provider, as defined under applicable data privacy laws.
Note that we collect certain Personal Data directly from End Users and for the data that is transmitted directly to us without your involvement, such as a product's MAC ID etc., we shall be the Data Controller. Without prejudice to the generality of this Section, you will ensure that you have all necessary appropriate consents and notices in place to enable lawful transfer of the Personal Data to us for the duration and purposes of this agreement.
You should have your own privacy policy available to End Users explaining how you use their Personal Data.
If you use any third parties to collect, store or handle Personal Data for you, they will be a Data Processor, acting on your behalf. This includes any independent contractors that you use. In some states and countries, you must have a written agreement in place with Data Processors before allowing them access to Personal Data.
5. Data Management
As a Data Controller of End User Personal Data, you have specific obligations to End Users, relating to privacy and data handling, under Applicable Law. If a Dealer fails in its obligations to an End User, it is likely to have a negative impact upon our reputation and that of our Products. Accordingly, we require that you adhere to the terms of this Section in relation to your handling of End User, unless they conflict with Applicable Law. You must:
(a) Collect and process Personal Data only after obtaining written permission to do so and in line with your agreement with Customers or otherwise on their clear instructions, unless you are required by Applicable Law to process the Personal Data for other purposes;
(b) Ensure that you have in place appropriate technical and organizational measures, which can be reviewed and approved by us, upon request, to protect against unauthorized or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, Personal Data, appropriate to the harm that might result from the unauthorized or unlawful access to such data, processing or accidental loss, destruction or damage and the nature of the data to be protected;
(c) Respond to any request relating to data privacy, from an End User made under Applicable Law, or provide such information or assistance as we may reasonably require to enable us to respond to any such requests received by us;
(d) Comply with your obligations under Applicable Law with respect to security, breach notifications, impact assessments and consultations with supervisory authorities or regulators and provide us with any information or assistance as we may reasonably require in order to enable us to meet any obligations to which we are subject;
(e) Notify us without undue delay and in any event within 24 hours on becoming aware of a Personal Data breach which impacts End Users;
(f) Ensure that you have entered into any agreements with third party data processors as are required by us or by Applicable Law, which incorporate terms that are substantially similar to those set out in this clause 5, remembering that you remain fully liable for all acts or omissions of any third-party data processor appointed by you.

6. Snap One’s Obligations under the CCPA for California-Based Dealers
a) In performing its role as a Service Provider for Your Services, Snap One will not: (1) “sell” or “share” for purposes of “cross-context behavioral advertising” or “targeted advertising” (as defined by the CCPA) any Personal Data; (2) retain, use, or disclose Personal Data outside of the direct business relationship between Snap One and Dealer; or (3) attempt to re-identify any pseudonymized, anonymized, aggregate, or de-identified Personal Data.
b) Snap One will (1) comply with any applicable restrictions under Applicable Law on combining your Personal Data with Personal Data that Snap One receives from, or on behalf of, another person or persons; and (2) promptly notify Dealer if Snap One determines that it (i) can no longer meet its obligations under these Terms; or (ii) in Snap One’s opinion, an instruction from Dealer infringes applicable U.S. Privacy Laws.
