Terms of Service

Each time you access and/or use KIA CONNECT SERVICES, you agree to be bound by and comply with all of the terms and conditions of the Terms and any Additional Terms (defined below). Therefore, do not use KIA CONNECT SERVICES if you do not agree to all of the terms of these Terms and any Additional Terms. The business realities associated with operating KIA CONNECT SERVICES are such that, without the limitations that are set forth in these Terms - such as your grants and waivers of rights, the limitations on our liability, your indemnity of us, and arbitration of certain disputes – we would not and, in some cases, could not make KIA CONNECT SERVICES available to you.

In some instances, both these Terms and separate guidelines, rules, or terms of service or sale setting forth additional or different terms and/or conditions will apply to your use of KIA CONNECT SERVICES or to a service or product offered thereon (in each such instance, and collectively, “Additional Terms”). To the extent there is a direct conflict between these Terms and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control unless the Additional Terms expressly state otherwise.

   In your communications with us, please keep in mind that unless we expressly request them, we do not seek any unsolicited ideas or materials for products or services, or even improvements to products or services, such as ideas, concepts, inventions, or designs for vehicles or vehicle features or otherwise (collectively, “Unsolicited Ideas and Materials”). Any information and materials you send to us in connection with KIA CONNECT SERVICES (regardless of whether we have requested them or not) are deemed Unsolicited Ideas and Materials and licensed to us as set forth below. In addition, we retain all of the rights held by members of the general public with regard to your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials. Kia’s receipt of your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials is not an admission by us of their novelty, priority, or originality, and it does not impair our right to contest existing or future intellectual property rights relating to your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials.

   Except as otherwise described in the Kia Connect Privacy Policy or any Additional Terms, you agree that: (a) your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials will be treated as non-confidential – regardless of whether you mark them “confidential,” “proprietary,” or the like – and will not be returned, and (b) Kia does not assume any obligation of any kind to you or any third party with respect to your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials. Upon our request, you will furnish us with any documentation necessary to substantiate the rights to such content and to verify your compliance with these Terms or any Additional Terms. You acknowledge that the Internet and mobile communications may be subject to breaches of security and that you are aware that submissions of Unsolicited Ideas and Materials may not be secure, and you will consider this before submitting any such materials and do so at your own risk. You acknowledge that other users may have created ideas and concepts contained in their Unsolicited Ideas and Materials that may have familiarities or similarities to your own Unsolicited Ideas and Materials, and that you will not be entitled to any compensation or right to negotiate with Kia because of these familiarities or similarities. Notwithstanding any custom and practice to pay an individual for an idea (if any), nothing herein shall create an implied or express contract to compensate users for their Unsolicited Ideas and Materials and there is no obligation for Kia to pay or otherwise compensate you for any of ideas or materials in any communications with Kia, whatsoever.

   By providing Unsolicited Ideas and Materials to us or others via KIA CONNECT SERVICES, you hereby grant to Kia the non-exclusive, unrestricted, unconditional, unlimited, worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, and cost-free right and license to use, copy, record, distribute, reproduce, disclose, sell, re-sell, sublicense (through multiple levels), display, publicly perform, transmit, publish, broadcast, translate, make derivative works of, and otherwise use and exploit in any manner whatsoever, all or any portion of your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials (and derivative works thereof), for any purpose whatsoever in all formats, on or through any media, software, formula, or medium now known or hereafter developed, and with any technology or devices now known or hereafter developed, and to advertise, market, and promote the same. Without limitation, the granted rights include the right to: (a) configure, host, index, cache, archive, store, digitize, compress, optimize, modify, reformat, edit, adapt, publish in searchable format, and remove such Unsolicited Ideas and Materials and combine same with other materials, and (b) use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any Unsolicited Ideas and Materials for any purposes whatsoever, including developing, producing, and marketing products and/or services.

Except as prohibited by law, you hereby waive, and you agree to waive, any moral rights (including attribution and integrity) that you may have in any Unsolicited Ideas and Materials, even if it is altered or changed in a manner not agreeable to you. To the extent not waivable, you irrevocably agree not to exercise such rights (if any) in a manner that interferes with any exercise of the granted rights. You understand that you will not receive any fees, sums, consideration, or remuneration for any of the rights granted in this Section 2.

   From time to time, areas on KIA CONNECT SERVICES may expressly request submissions of concepts, improvements, feedback, or other potential content from you (“Invited Submissions”). Where this is the case, please carefully read any Additional Terms which appear elsewhere on KIA CONNECT SERVICES to govern those submissions, as they will affect your legal rights. If no Additional Terms govern those submissions, then this Section 2 of these Terms will apply in full to any Invited Submissions and you grant us a license to them just as if they were Unsolicited Ideas and Materials.

 

3. STARTING AND TERMINATING KIA CONNECT SERVICES. In order to access or use some of the features on KIA CONNECT SERVICES, you may be required to first register for a KOP Account through our online registration process and sign up for a free trial and/or purchase a subscription (as described in Section 4 of these Terms). In some Vehicles, you may be able to enable features of KIA CONNECT SERVICES directly from your Vehicle’s head unit or access some services offered through KIA CONNECT SERVICES without a KOP Account. These Terms apply to your access and/or use of KIA CONNECT SERVICES regardless of whether you first register for a KOP Account. KIA CONNECT SERVICES practices governing any resulting collection and use of your personal information are disclosed in our Kia Connect Privacy Policy.

   If you register for any feature that requires a password and/or username, then you will select your own password at the time of registration (or we may send you an e-mail notification with a randomly generated initial password) and you agree that: (i) You will not use a username (or e-mail address) that is already being used by someone else, may impersonate another person, belongs to another person, violates the intellectual property or other right of any person or entity, or is offensive. We may reject the use of any password, username, or e-mail address for any other reason in our sole discretion; (ii) You will provide accurate, current, and complete registration information about yourself in connection with the registration process and, as permitted, to maintain and update it continuously and promptly to keep it accurate, current, and complete; (iii) You are solely responsible for all activities (including purchases) that occur under your KOP Account, password, and username – whether or not you authorized the activity; (iv) You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for restricting access to your Device so that others may not access any password protected portion of KIA CONNECT SERVICES using your name, username, or password; (v) You will immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your KOP Account, password, or username, or any other breach of security; and (vi) You will not sell, transfer, or assign your KOP Account or any KOP Account rights.

   We will not be liable for any loss or damage (of any kind and under any legal theory) to you or any third party arising from your inability or failure for any reason to comply with any of the foregoing obligations.

   If any information that you provide, or if we have reasonable grounds to suspect that any information that you provide, is false, inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, or violates these Terms, any Additional Terms, or any applicable law, then we may suspend or terminate your access to certain KIA CONNECT SERVICES (including access to your KOP Account).  We also reserve the more general and broad right to terminate your KOP Account or suspend or otherwise deny you access to it or its benefits – all in our sole discretion, for any reason, and without advance notice or liability after which your KOP Account will be deactivated and your access to certain KIA CONNECT SERVICES will terminate.  This means that we can decide to cease providing certain KIA CONNECT SERVICES to you at any time and for any reason, even for reasons unrelated to you or your KOP Account with us.  Additionally, we may cancel your access to certain KIA CONNECT SERVICES without prior notice to you if we have received information that establishes you are no longer the renter/owner/lessee of your Vehicle.  This means, for example, we can terminate your access to certain KIA CONNECT SERVICES immediately if you breach any part of these Terms, interfere with our efforts to provide KIA CONNECT SERVICES, interfere with our business, or if your wireless phone number is used for illegal or improper purposes.  You do not have any right to have KIA CONNECT SERVICES reactivated, even if you cure any of these problems.  Whether to allow you to have access to deactivated KIA CONNECT SERVICES again will be entirely up to us.  We can suspend your access to certain KIA CONNECT SERVICES for any reason, including, without limitation, for network or system maintenance or improvement, or if there is network congestion. Notwithstanding any cancellation or deactivation of KIA CONNECT SERVICES, the dispute resolution policy at Section 7 herein shall remain in full force and effect.
    
   If you have KIA CONNECT SERVICES installed in your Vehicle and you sell or otherwise transfer your Vehicle to a new owner, you must (i) immediately cease using KIA CONNECT SERVICES and remove your Vehicle from your KOP Account; and (ii) delete all stored information from your Vehicle. If you wish to disable your access to KIA CONNECT SERVICES, you must either bring your Vehicle to a Kia dealer or call the Kia Connect Call Center at: 1-844-886-9411.
   

   If you have KIA CONNECT SERVICES installed in your Vehicle and you purchased your Vehicle from a previous owner as a used car, you must check to confirm that the previous owner disabled his or her access to KIA CONNECT SERVICES associated with your Vehicle.  If you fail to do so, the previous Vehicle owner may continue to have access to Vehicle information that is collected as you use the Vehicle and he/she may be able to interact with and change the Vehicle’s settings.  If you wish to confirm whether a previous owner disabled his/her access to KIA CONNECT SERVICES, you must either bring your Vehicle to a Kia dealer or call the Kia Connect Call Center at: 1-844-886-9411.  You may be required to offer proof of ownership to your Vehicle before a previous owner’s access to KIA CONNECT SERVICES will be disabled.  Kia is not responsible or liable for any claims, damages, or liability that may arise from any user’s failure to timely disable a previous Vehicle owner’s access to KIA CONNECT SERVICES.

   ii.

   For vehicles that are not equipped with the ccNC operating system, Kia Connect Lite is only available in vehicles for up to a five (5) year period starting from the Vehicle’s new vehicle retail sale/lease date as recorded by the dealer.

7. RESOLVING DISPUTES BY BINDING ARBITRATION

   MOST CUSTOMER CONCERNS CAN BE RESOLVED QUICKLY AND TO THE CUSTOMER'S SATISFACTION BY CALLING KIA CUSTOMER CARE TEAM AT 1-800-333-4KIA (4542). IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT KIA CUSTOMER CARE TEAM IS UNABLE TO RESOLVE YOUR CONCERNS, WE EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE THOSE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT INSTEAD OF IN COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. ARBITRATION IS MORE INFORMAL THAN A LAWSUIT IN COURT. ARBITRATION USES A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY, ALLOWS FOR MORE LIMITED DISCOVERY THAN IN COURT, AND IS SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY COURTS. ARBITRATORS CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF THAT A COURT CAN AWARD. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. KIA WILL PAY ALL ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS OF THE ARBITRATOR, NO MATTER WHO WINS, SO LONG AS YOUR CLAIM IS NOT FRIVOLOUS OR BROUGHT IN BAD FAITH. HOWEVER, IN ARBITRATION, BOTH YOU AND KIA WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ATTORNEYS´ FEES FROM THE OTHER PARTY TO THE SAME EXTENT AS YOU WOULD BE IN COURT.

   A.

   Arbitration Agreement. Kia and you agree to arbitrate any and all disputes and claims between us arising out of or relating to the KIA CONNECT SERVICES, the KIA CONNECT SERVICES App, the KIA CONNECT SERVICES Hardware, your KOP Account, the Content, these Terms, any Additional Terms, your Vehicle, or any matters relating to or arising out of your Vehicle purchase, ownership, or lease, except any disputes or claims which under governing law are not subject to arbitration, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and to make all disputes and claims between us subject to arbitration to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, any dispute you or we may have relating to copyrights or other intellectual property shall not be governed by this agreement to arbitrate. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that any claims you or we may have relating to intellectual property rights against the other, including injunctive and other relief sought, may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreement to arbitrate otherwise includes, but is not limited to:

   claims based in contract, tort, warranty, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory; claims that arose before this or any prior Terms (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; claims relating to your Vehicle for which you seek product or service support; claims arising out of or relating to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act; claims relating to your data privacy or information security, including the collection and use of data about you or your Vehicle; and claims that may arise after the termination of the Terms.

   For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to "Kia," "you," and "us" shall include our respective parent entities, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, websites of the foregoing, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of the KIA CONNECT SERVICES, products, or information provided or made available under this or prior Agreements between us relating to or arising from any aspect of your use or access of the KIA CONNECT SERVICES. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and Kia are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class or representative action to the maximum extent permitted by law. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement or your relationship with Kia for any reason.

   B.

   Written Notice of Dispute. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Kia should be addressed to: Kia America, Inc., Attn: Legal Department - Arbitration, 111 Peters Canyon Road, Irvine, CA  92606 (the “Notice Address”'). The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and set forth the specific relief you seek from Kia (the “Demand”'). If Kia and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Kia may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Kia or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Kia is entitled. In arbitration, and to the extent otherwise permitted by law, the parties may exchange “offers of compromise” or stipulate to judgments or awards in the same way the parties could in court, including for example, under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 998 for arbitrations taking place in California. Such offers of compromise shall have the same force and effect as they would in a court proceeding. The arbitration proceedings shall otherwise remain confidential, except for purposes of seeking court intervention (if necessary). 

   You may obtain more information about arbitration from www.adr.org. 
   

   C.

   Mass Arbitration. YOU AND KIA AGREE THAT IN THE EVENT THAT MASS ARBITRATION IS ATTEMPTED OR SOUGHT, SUCH ARBITRATION SHALL BE ADMINISTERED PURSUANT TO THE FOLLOWING RULES.

   For purposes of this Agreement, “Mass Arbitration” means 25 or more arbitration demands that: (i) are filed within 180 days of each other, (ii) allege similar or identical claims or causes of action, and (iii) either (a) the parties to those arbitration demands seek to simultaneously or collectively administer and/or arbitrate together, or (b) are filed by the same counsel or in coordination with each other.

   In the event that Mass Arbitration is attempted or sought involving 250 arbitration demands or less, you and Kia agree the arbitration provider shall: (i) group the arbitration demands into batches of no less than 25 arbitration demands per group; and (ii) provide for resolution of each group or batch as a single arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees and a single arbitrator assigned per group or batch. In the event that Mass Arbitration is attempted or sought involving over 250 arbitration demands, you and Kia agree that the arbitration provider shall: (i) group the arbitration demands into batches of no less than 250 arbitration demands per group; and (ii) provide for resolution of each group or batch as a single arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees and a single arbitrator assigned per group or batch. All Mass Arbitration shall be subject to all other substantive and procedural terms contained within this Agreement.

   You and Kia agree to cooperate in good faith with the arbitration provider to implement the aforementioned protocol for Mass Arbitration with regard to resolution, fees, and administration. To the extent a dispute arises regarding the administration of a Mass Arbitration, including, but not limited to, whether any conditions precedent have been satisfied or the advancement of fees, You and Kia agree to appointment of a Process Arbitrator pursuant to the Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rule of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA").

   If any part of this section 7(C) is found to be unenforceable, the unenforceable portion shall be stricken, and the remainder of this Section 7(C) and this Agreement shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.

   If the arbitration provider is unwilling or unable to follow the procedures set forth in this Section 7(C) with regard to Mass Arbitration, the parties may attempt to retain a different, mutually agreeable and widely-recognized arbitration organization that will agree to follow the procedures set forth in this this Section 7(C). In the event that the parties are unable to retain or agree to such an alternative arbitration provider, the alternative dispute resolution provisions set forth in these Terms shall not apply to those demands within the Mass Arbitration.

   If this specific Section 7(C) is found to be unenforceable in its entirety, then the entirety of this Section 7 arbitration provision shall be null and void. However, if only a portion of this Section 7(C) is found to be unenforceable, then the unenforceable portion of the provision shall be stricken, and the remainder of Section 7 enforced.  

   D.

   Filing Fees. After Kia receives Notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, Kia will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee. The filing fee currently is $225, but is subject to change by the arbitration provider. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of AAA, as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The AAA Rules may change from time to time, and you should review them periodically.  

   All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision as well as the Agreement´s other terms and conditions, and the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any such dispute relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision or any other term of this Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this arbitration provision or Agreement is void or voidable. However if putative class or representative claims are initially brought by either party in a court of law, and a motion to compel arbitration is brought by any party in court, then the court shall decide whether this Agreement permits class proceedings. For the avoidance of doubt, the court and arbitrator shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including with regard to the class and representative waiver provision. In any arbitration, the arbitrator shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator shall not have the power to commit manifest errors of law or legal reasoning, and any award rendered by the arbitrator that employs a manifest error of law or legal reasoning may be vacated or corrected by a court of competent jurisdiction for any such error. Unless Kia and you agree otherwise, any arbitration will be governed by the substantive laws of your state, and hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing or registered address. Case management and other hearings shall be heard via telephone unless otherwise agreed to. Except as otherwise provided for herein, Kia will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice requirements above. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Kia for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules.

   E.

   Discovery. Discovery and/or the exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the dispute will be governed by the AAA Rules.

   F.

    No Class Action Matters.  YOU AND KIA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.  Further, unless both you and Kia agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. If this specific subparagraph (e) is found to be unenforceable in its entirety, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. However, if only a portion of this subparagraph (e) is found to be unenforceable, then the unenforceable portion of the provision shall be stricken, and the remainder of subparagraph (e) enforced. Any claims or causes of action seeking relief not subject to individual arbitration under applicable law shall be stayed in a court of competent jurisdiction pending completion of individual arbitration to the maximum extent permitted by law.

   G.

   Jurisdictional Issues.  Except where arbitration is required above or with respect to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, any action or proceeding relating to any dispute arising hereunder may only be instituted in state or Federal court in Orange County, California.  Accordingly, you and Kia consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters.

    

 

8. SPECIAL INFORMATION ABOUT SERVICE AND HARDWARE LIMITATIONS.

   A.

   Availability. KIA CONNECT SERVICES are only available in the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PRIOR SENTENCE, KIA CONNECT SERVICES ARE CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE IN CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2022 AND NEWER VEHICLES THAT ARE PURCHASED OR SOLD IN MASSACHUSETTS. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS AGREEMENT, A VEHICLE IS “PURCHASED OR SOLD IN MASSACHUSETTS” IF: (A) EITHER THE SELLER/LESSOR OR THE BUYER/LESSEE OF THE VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN MASSACHUSETTS WHEN COMPLETING THE CONTRACT FOR SALE OR LEASE; (B) THE CONTRACT FOR SALE OR LEASE STATES THAT THE SALE OR LEASE OCCURRED IN MASSACHUSETTS; (C) THE VEHICLE IS DELIVERED TO THE BUYER OR LESSEE IN MASSACHUSETTS; OR (D) THE BUYER OR LESSEE IS REQUIRED TO PAY SALES TAX OR USE TAX IN MASSACHUSETTS. TO DETERMINE WHETHER A MODEL YEAR 2022 OR NEWER VEHICLE THAT WAS PURCHASED OR SOLD IN MASSACHUSETTS IS ELIGIBLE FOR KIA CONNECT SERVICES, PLEASE VISIT https://owners.kia.com/content/owners/en/kia-connect-updates.html. BY ENROLLING A MODEL YEAR 2022 OR NEWER VEHICLE IN KIA CONNECT SERVICES, YOU REPRESENT, WARRANT, AND CERTIFY THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PURCHASED OR SOLD IN MASSACHUSSETTS, OR THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IDENTIFIED AS ELIGIBLE FOR KIA CONNECT SERVICES AT THE TIME OF ENROLLMENT ON https://owners.kia.com/content/owners/en/kia-connect-updates.html.

   Many of the KIA CONNECT SERVICES App’s key features work through your mobile Device’s wireless communication network, and other key features of KIA CONNECT SERVICES may work through an embedded modem, if your Vehicle is so equipped.  SOME FEATURES AVAILABLE THROUGH KIA CONNECT SERVICES MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IF YOUR VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN REMOTE OR ENCLOSED AREAS OR IN AREAS WHERE THE FEATURES ARE PROHIBITED. ADDITIONALLY, SOME FEATURES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE KIA CONNECT SERVICES APP MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IF YOUR DEVICE DOES NOT HAVE WIRELESS SERVICE, PARTICULARLY IN REMOTE OR ENCLOSED AREAS.  The area that you are driving in may affect the type or quality of service that we can provide to you through KIA CONNECT SERVICES.  There are other problems we cannot control that may prevent us from providing KIA CONNECT SERVICES to you at any particular time or place, or that may impair the quality of KIA CONNECT SERVICES.  Some examples are hills, tall buildings, tunnels, weather, damage to important parts of your Vehicle in an accident, or wireless network congestion or unavailability. 

   B.

   Maps and Navigation. If the KIA CONNECT SERVICES App interacts with any navigation capabilities included on your Vehicle, the routing, map, and point-of-interest data that we provide to you is based on the current map information available to us which may be provided by a third party such as through the incorporation of the Google Maps API, and may be inaccurate or incomplete.  For example, our routing, map, and point-of-interest data may not include information about one-way roads, turn restrictions, construction projects, seasonal roads, detours, new roads, or hours of operation.  It may suggest using a road that is now closed for construction or a turn that is prohibited by signs at the intersection.  In addition, traffic, weather, and other events may cause road conditions to differ from the results generated.  Therefore, you should always use good judgment, obey traffic and roadway laws and instructions, and evaluate whether it is safe and legal based on current traffic, weather, and other conditions to follow the directions and/or guidance provided.  Additionally, if you utilize the map or navigation functionality we make available through the KIA CONNECT SERVICES, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms of service of the third party providing the service for your Vehicle, such as Google, Inc.’s Terms of Service (see: https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en) or HERE Global B.V.’s Service Terms (see: https://legal.here.com/en-gb/terms).

   C.

   Outside Our Control. Kia is not responsible for any delay or failure in performance if such failure or delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions.  Additionally, Kia is not responsible if such failure or delay is caused by acts of nature, or forces or causes beyond our reasonable control.  Examples include public utility electrical failure, acts of war, government actions, terrorism, civil disturbances, labor shortages or difficulties (regardless of cause), or equipment failures including Internet, computer, telecommunication, or other equipment or technology failures.
   

   D.

   Software, Hardware, and Equipment Updates. Some portions of KIA CONNECT SERVICES such as the KIA CONNECT SERVICES App may include software that we may need to change from time to time.  We may do this remotely in various manners and potentially without notifying you first or through a push notification to your Device.  Such changes may affect or erase data you have stored in your KOP Account.  We are not responsible for any lost data.  You do not own KIA CONNECT SERVICES software or acquire any rights to use or modify KIA CONNECT SERVICES software on your own.  Your Vehicle’s KIA CONNECT SERVICES Hardware may also include software that Kia may need to change from time to time.  You agree to allow this to be done through a recall without cost to you. 
   

    

 
9. SPECIAL INFORMATION ABOUT CERTAIN SERVICES.

         Not all of these services may be available in your Vehicle, but if they are, the following applies:
   

   A.

   Crash Notification Assist. KIA CONNECT SERVICES may attempt to automatically connect you to certain Service Providers such as 911, the police, fire department, or ambulance service in the event of airbag deployment in your Vehicle, if your Vehicle is equipped with such a service.  In such an event, after a ten (10) second delay (during which time you have the option to cancel the call), KIA CONNECT SERVICES will use reasonable efforts to contact appropriate Service Providers to help you but it cannot be promised that any Service Providers will respond in a timely manner or at all.  The laws in some places require an emergency to be confirmed before emergency Service Providers will provide service.  If KIA CONNECT SERVICES connect you with a Service Provider, you or the occupants of your Vehicle may need to confirm that an emergency exists.  FOR CERTAIN VEHICLE MODELS AND/OR TRIMS WITHOUT AN EMBEDDED MODEM INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE, YOUR MOBILE DEVICE MUST HAVE WIRELESS SERVICE AND YOUR MOBILE DEVICE MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE KIA CONNECT SERVICES HARDWARE IN ORDER FOR THE CRASH NOTIFICATION ASSIST FEATURE, IF AVAILABLE IN YOUR VEHICLE, TO OPERATE.
   

   B.

   Parking Minder and My Car Zone Features: Curfew Alert, Geo-Fence, & Speed Alert. Parking Minder and the My Car Zone features help you stay up to date on your Vehicle’s location and other Vehicle information while away from your Vehicle.  Through KIA CONNECT SERVICES Hardware, your KOP Account or the KIA CONNECT SERVICES App, you can opt through the settings we make available to use certain features such as the curfew alert, geo-fence and speed alert, if available for your Vehicle.  For example, curfew limits in terms of time stamps and GPS coordinates through geo-fencing (a predetermined area plotted in the navigation system) can be set.  If the Vehicle leaves that area or is used outside of predetermined hours, you will receive a detailed alert on your Device the next time you pair your Device with the Vehicle via Bluetooth® wireless technology or via USB cable, the next time you log into your KOP Account, and/or as defined by your notification preference in your KOP Account.  The speed alert function also allows you to set a predetermined maximum speed for your Vehicle, and, if exceeded, receive an alert next time you pair your Device with the Vehicle, log into your KOP account, and/or as defined by your notification preference in your KOP Account. You agree to inform other users and occupants of your Vehicle about KIA CONNECT SERVICES and system features (including information collected through KIA CONNECT SERVICES) and obtain their consent to collect information about their use of the Vehicle and take responsibility for their actions and their compliance with these Terms.  You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless for any failure of other users and occupants of your Vehicle to comply with these Terms.

   C.

   Content-Based Services. The information available via any content-based services (e.g., maps, navigation and guidance, POI search and download, traffic, charging station location data available in connection with Kia electric vehicles, speed camera, or red light camera location data) available for your Vehicle is limited to that information which is available in the databases of the Service Providers selected by us, which may or may not be complete or accurate at all times.  Use common sense when relying on information provided.  For example, KIA CONNECT SERVICES for certain electric and plug-in hybrid Vehicles may offer functionality that allows a user to find a charging station.  However, the availability and accuracy of the information provided are dependent upon many factors.  You should check the availability of any charging station you plan to utilize before you begin your trip.  Kia is not responsible or liable for any claims, damages, or liability in the event you do not have the most current or accurate information available and/or are unable to reach a charging station and you are stranded for any reason. Moreover, speed camera, or red light camera location data is provided for informational use only, and you should obey all traffic laws when operating your Vehicle.
   

   D.

   Location Sharing. You understand that when KIA CONNECT SERVICES are active in your Vehicle, your Vehicle’s location information may be sent to all persons/Devices you have designated in your preferences via KIA CONNECT SERVICES, if available for your Vehicle, and you consent to the delivery and sharing of such location information.

   E.

   Diagnostic Information/Maintenance Alerts. If KIA CONNECT SERVICES identifies an issue through its automatic diagnostics function, if available for your Vehicle, it will communicate your Vehicle’s issue and location to the Kia Customer Care Center team or recommend that you schedule an appointment with a Kia dealership.  Additionally, through KIA CONNECT SERVICES Hardware, your KOP Account, or the KIA CONNECT SERVICES App, you may be able to opt through the settings to run manual or regularly scheduled diagnostic tests of your Vehicle (e.g., once a month).  Your Vehicle may only send diagnostic trouble codes to KIA CONNECT SERVICES that result in a dashboard warning light.  In some instances, multiple codes may be generated for the same occurrence.  The current diagnostic status of your Vehicle presented online and in your monthly vehicle report may be delayed.  You should visit a qualified repair facility for a complete and current diagnostic status of your Vehicle.  You authorize Kia to maintain and send diagnostic information to Kia dealers.  This service is provided to you as a courtesy for your convenience only and the Vehicle owner is responsible for maintaining the Vehicle in accordance with the schedule published in the owner’s manual.  

   F.

   Connected Profiles. Certain Vehicles with embedded modems have a Connected Profiles feature, which allows multiple users to program preferences into the Vehicle head unit, such as radio presets and other preferences, and which allows the Vehicle owner to share the Vehicle with additional drivers designated in the owner’s KOP Account. To use this driver share feature, the owner that has registered the Vehicle to his or her KOP Account can invite secondary drivers by inputting a secondary driver’s email in the “Add Driver” section in the KOP Account, either on the website or in the KIA CONNECT SERVICES App. The invited secondary driver will be sent an email directing him or her to register as a secondary driver for the Vehicle within the secondary driver’s own KOP Account. Both the owner and the secondary driver must agree to these Terms to use the Connected Profiles secondary driver share feature. While an owner may approve multiple secondary drivers on his or her KOP Account, only one secondary driver may be designated as the Vehicle user at any given time. The Vehicle owner controls which approved secondary driver may have access to the Vehicle, and may revoke access of any secondary driver at any time by unlinking or deleting the secondary driver from the owner’s KOP Account. Moreover, the Vehicle owner controls which KIA CONNECT SERVICES the secondary driver will be allowed to use, such as the My Car Zone Features and the Schedules for automatic remote start and charging, if available on the Vehicle.
   
   If you are participating in the Connected Profiles secondary driver share feature, either as an owner or secondary driver, you consent to the sharing of Vehicle data, including geolocation information, trip information, schedules for remote start and charging (if available), other driver behavior information, and data related to the KIA CONNECT SERVICES used, between the owner and the secondary driver, and as otherwise described in the KIA CONNECT SERVICES Privacy Policy. If you participate in this feature as a secondary driver, you understand that data related to your use of the Vehicle will be available to the Vehicle owner on his or her KOP Account, and you consent to such sharing. You further understand that, as a secondary driver, you may not have access to data related to the owner’s use of the Vehicle, and that the owner may not grant you access to all KIA CONNECT SERVICES available for the Vehicle. If you are a secondary driver and wish to end your participation in the secondary driver share feature, you may delete the Vehicle from your KOP Account; however, the Vehicle owner will still have access to the shared data generated when you used the Vehicle. If you are an owner and wish to end your participation in the secondary driver share feature, you may unlink or delete all secondary drivers. Owners and secondary drivers may also call the Kia Connect Call Center for assistance at 1-844-886-9411.

   G.

   In-Vehicle Notification Center. Certain Vehicles with embedded modems have an in-vehicle notification center, which allows you to receive and review important notices from us on your Vehicle head unit, such as messages related to recalls, safety campaigns, offers, or other product communications. When new in-vehicle notifications are available, your Vehicle will display a new notice message and ask if you want to view the notice. You must select “yes” or “no” to close the new notice message. Selecting “yes” will close the new notice message and display the inbox where in-vehicle notifications can be viewed; selecting “no” will close the new notice message without displaying the inbox, though you can later view the in-vehicle notification in the inbox by navigating to the notification feature through the head unit menu. Notices are not available to view while the Vehicle is in motion. If you receive a new notice message while the Vehicle is in motion, do not attempt to read it until the Vehicle is parked. You can delete in-vehicle notifications from the inbox in your Vehicle. You can limit the types of non-critical notifications you wish to receive in your Vehicle by visiting the Customer Preference Center section in your KOP Account. Critical notifications related to recalls may not be turned off.

   H.

   360 View. Certain Vehicles have a 360 View feature, which allows you to check the area around your Vehicle without physically being there by remotely opening the mirrors on your Vehicle and capturing photographic images from the mirrors on all four sides of the Vehicle, along with a birdseye view. You may take up to five (5) images per day and view up to ten (10) images in your KOP Account, though you should save any images you wish to keep onto your own devices, as Kia may delete the images on a six (6) month or other cycle or if you unenroll the Vehicle from KIA CONNECT SERVICES. You should not use this feature if your Vehicle is covered or if you are parked in close proximity to other vehicles or objects, such as walls, as your mirrors may collide with such objects when opening. Use of the 360 View feature is at your own risk and may not be available in all locations. Kia is not responsible for any damage to your Vehicle or damage you may cause from use of this feature, such as if you strike an object while opening your mirrors.

   I.

   Connected Routing. Certain Vehicles with embedded modems have a connected routing feature, which uses real-time and historical traffic data to identify the most likely efficient route from the Vehicle’s current location to the requested destination. The feature will utilize an internet connection, if available, or may use radio signal to monitor traffic conditions. If neither internet nor appropriate radio signal is available, the feature will not work and the Vehicle will use its standard onboard map and navigation features in lieu of drive time optimization routing. Because this feature relies on a combination of real-time and historic traffic data, and because traffic conditions can suddenly change in real time, it may not always provide the quickest way to the requested destination.

   J.

   Last Mile Navigation. Certain Vehicles with embedded modems have a last mile navigation feature that allows you to get the remaining directions to your requested destination on your mobile Device if you have parked your Vehicle between six-tenths (0.6) kilometers and two (2) kilometers of the requested destination. For instance, if you request directions to a particular address in your Vehicle but park within this range of the address, this feature will send an alert in the KIA CONNECT SERVICES App on your mobile Device when the ignition is turned off so that you can use your mobile Device to navigate the rest of the way to the destination. The KIA CONNECT SERVICES App will display a push notification and provide the option to navigate to the requested destination on your mobile Device’s default map and navigation app. For this feature to work, you must have an applicable KIA CONNECT SERVICES App installed on your mobile Device with push notifications enabled. You can turn this feature on or off in the KIA CONNECT SERVICES App or in your KOP Account. If you have this feature turned on, you must notify any other drivers of your Vehicle that you may be notified of the requested destination entered by the driver. This feature is a Wireless Feature (as defined in Section 13) and is subject to the terms in Section 13.

   Stolen Vehicle Recovery and Vehicle Immobilization.  Certain Vehicles with embedded modems are eligible for the Stolen Vehicle Recovery and Vehicle Immobilization features. If your Vehicle has this capability and is enrolled in the appropriate KIA CONNECT SERVICES package, we can try to locate your Vehicle if it is stolen. Before we try to locate it, you must file a stolen vehicle police report with the local law enforcement authorities and be able to verify your identity to us. You must submit a copy of the police report or police report number to us, and we will verify with the local authorities that they are investigating the matter as a stolen Vehicle, and we will open a stolen vehicle recovery case. We will try to locate your Vehicle for up to fifteen (15) days beginning from the time you first report it to us as stolen, and will close the case if it is not recovered by that time, or if you or the police otherwise advise us that the Vehicle has been recovered. We cannot guarantee that we will locate your Vehicle. For your safety and the safety of others, we will only provide information about the location of your Vehicle to the police. Other KIA CONNECT SERVICES features will be unavailable while your stolen vehicle recovery case is open; we will restore the other KIA CONNECT SERVICES to your Vehicle if it is recovered, or we will cancel KIA CONNECT SERVICES in the Vehicle if it is not recovered when we close the case. We are not required to try to find your Vehicle for the purpose of locating a person. We will not provide the Stolen Vehicle Recovery service for your Vehicle to an unauthorized third party, which means anyone other than the consumer whose name is on the KIA CONNECT SERVICES account, a government entity pursuant to a valid court order or other official governmental action, or one of our affiliates in connection with the leasing or financing of your Vehicle. If your Vehicle also has Vehicle Immobilization capability, we may immobilize your Vehicle in the event it is stolen and law enforcement requests immobilization in their recovery efforts. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for any damage to your Vehicle that occurs while it is stolen or while we are assisting in the recovery through the Stolen Vehicle Recovery and Vehicle Immobilization features. Stolen Vehicle Recovery and Vehicle Immobilization may not be available in situations where the vehicle was not subscribed to the applicable KIA CONNECT SERVICES package at the time the vehicle was stolen and may not be available due to conditions outside of our control as described in Section 8 above.

    L.

    Miscellaneous Provisions. These Terms will not be presumptively construed for or against either party.  Section titles contained herein are for convenience only.  If any provision of these Terms, or any Additional Terms, is for any reason deemed invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms or the Additional Terms, and the invalidity of the provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of these Terms or the Additional Terms (which will remain in full force and effect).  Even after these Terms have ended, its provisions will govern any disputes arising out of or relating to it (unless it has been replaced by a new agreement between us).  It will also be binding on your heirs and successors and on our successors and assigns.  No waiver of any part of these Terms, or of any breach of it, in any one instance will require us to waive any other instance or breach.  IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES WE MIGHT DECIDE TO PROVIDE YOU SERVICE VOLUNTARILY EVEN IF YOU WOULD NOT OTHERWISE QUALIFY. THIS WILL NOT BE DEEMED A WAIVER OR REQUIRE US TO DO SO AGAIN.  YOU AGREE WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANYTHING RESULTING FROM OUR PROVISION OF SUCH SERVICE.
