Brivo Website & General Terms of Use
- General
Brivo Systems LLC and its subsidiaries (“Brivo”) welcome you to the Brivo websites that link to these Terms of Use (each a “Brivo Site” and collectively, the “Brivo Sites”). In these Terms of Use, the term “Brivo Sites” refers to each of these websites and the services offered on those Brivo Sites. The Brivo Sites may include websites that require you to register and create an account (as applicable, a “Brivo Account”) to obtain access to such websites, including the Brivo University and Brivo Dealer Portal websites. Please read these Terms of Use carefully because they are a binding agreement between you and Brivo.
- User’s Acceptance of Terms of Use:
These Terms of Use govern your access, visits and use of the Brivo Sites. By accessing the Brivo Sites or by registering for a Brivo Account, you are subject to the Terms of Use. If you do not agree to all of the Terms of Use, you should not access, visit or participate in the Brivo Sites. There may be certain Brivo Sites or portions thereof where access and/or use is subject to eligibility requirements and/or include specific or supplemental terms of use, in addition to those set forth here (“Supplemental Terms of Use”). These include, but are not limited to, the applicable terms of use that apply to Brivo products and services sold by Brivo and, if you are an authorized Brivo reseller, the terms and conditions of your reseller agreement with Brivo. If there is a conflict between these Terms of Use and any Supplemental Terms of Use, then the Supplemental Terms of Use will govern your use and access of that particular Brivo Site or portion thereof. If you breach any of the applicable Terms of Use, your authorization to use the Brivo Site automatically terminates. Brivo reserves the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Brivo Sites or any portions thereof, and/or these Terms of Use, from time to time at its sole discretion and without notice. Brivo will post any modified Terms of Use on the Brivo Sites. Brivo may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict your access to parts of the Brivo Sites without notice or liability. You should periodically check the Terms of Use for such changes. Brivo may, but is not obligated to notify you of such changes. Your continued use of any of the Brivo Sites after Brivo posts such changes to the Terms of Use (regardless of whether Brivo has separately notified you of such changes) will indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and agreement to be bound by the revised Terms of Use. Brivo will not be liable to you or any third-party for any claims or actions arising or resulting from your access, use, visit, or participation in the Brivo Sites or for any modification, suspension, or termination of the Brivo Sites or portions thereof, or suspension or termination of your access to your Brivo Account.
