Nothing in this section limits or excludes any statutory rights available to Consumers under applicable consumer protection legislation.
Where mandatory consumer legislation provides greater protection than these Terms, that legislation shall prevail.
11.16 Continuous Software Development
The Customer acknowledges that the MotoGuardian software is a continually evolving platform. The Company may introduce new functionality, modify existing features, improve security, enhance performance or retire obsolete functionality as part of the ongoing development of the MotoGuardian platform.
Such updates do not constitute a breach of these Terms, provided the Company does not materially reduce the core functionality of the software during an active subscription period without reasonable notice.
12. GPS, Alerts and Connectivity
12.1 Overview
MotoGuardian is a connected motorcycle security and rider safety platform that uses GPS technology, mobile telecommunications networks, cloud infrastructure and compatible mobile devices to provide location services, notifications and rider safety features.
While the Company uses commercially reasonable efforts to provide accurate and reliable services, Customers acknowledge that the operation of MotoGuardian depends upon numerous external systems beyond the Company's direct control.
Accordingly, the Company does not guarantee that GPS positioning, alerts or connectivity will be continuously available, uninterrupted or error-free.
GPS accuracy may vary by several metres depending on satellite geometry.
12.2 GPS Location Services
MotoGuardian uses Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to determine the approximate location of a registered MotoGuardian Device.
Location accuracy may vary depending upon numerous factors, including but not limited to:
- GPS satellite availability
- weather conditions
- surrounding buildings and structures
- tunnels
- underground parking
- dense woodland
- mountainous terrain
- electromagnetic interference
- vehicle installation location
- antenna positioning
- hardware configuration; and
environmental conditions.
The Customer acknowledges that GPS location information is an estimate and should not be relied upon as being continuously accurate to a precise location.
12.3 Mobile Network Connectivity
MotoGuardian relies upon third-party mobile telecommunications networks for the transmission of location information and alerts.
Service availability depends upon:
- mobile network coverage
- roaming agreements
- SIM connectivity
- network congestion
- signal strength
- infrastructure outages
- telecommunications providers; and
regulatory restrictions.
The Company cannot guarantee uninterrupted mobile connectivity in all geographic locations.
12.4 Cloud Services
MotoGuardian services are supported by secure cloud infrastructure operated by the Company and trusted third-party providers.
Temporary interruptions may occur due to:
- scheduled maintenance
- emergency maintenance
- software upgrades
- cloud provider outages
- cyber security incidents
- internet connectivity failures; or
Force Majeure Events.
The Company will use reasonable efforts to minimise service interruptions but does not guarantee continuous availability.
12.5 Device Installation
The performance of the MotoGuardian Device depends upon correct installation.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that the Device is installed:
- in accordance with the Company's instructions
- using appropriate electrical connections
- within the recommended installation location
- without obstructing GPS reception where reasonably practicable; and
in a manner that does not interfere with the safe operation of the motorcycle.
Incorrect installation may reduce:
- GPS accuracy
- signal strength
- battery performance
- notification reliability
- overall Device performance; and
eligibility for warranty claims.
12.6 Alerts and Notifications
MotoGuardian may generate notifications including, but not limited to:
- movement alerts
- theft alerts
- geofence alerts
- tow-away alerts
- battery disconnect alerts
- crash detection alerts
- emergency contact notifications
- maintenance reminders
- subscription notifications
- software update notifications; and
account security alerts.
The timing and successful delivery of alerts depends upon multiple factors including:
- internet connectivity
- push notification services
- mobile network availability
- smartphone operating system settings
- notification permissions
- battery-saving features
- cloud service availability; and
third-party messaging providers.
The Company does not guarantee that every alert will be delivered immediately or in every circumstance.
12.7 Crash Detection
MotoGuardian may include crash detection functionality designed to identify riding events that may indicate a collision.
Crash detection is based upon software algorithms and sensor data and should be regarded as an assistance feature only.
Crash detection may:
- fail to detect certain incidents
- incorrectly identify non-collision events as crashes
- generate false positives
- generate false negatives; or
require user confirmation before emergency notifications are sent.
Customers must not rely solely upon MotoGuardian for personal safety.
12.8 Emergency Notifications
MotoGuardian may allow Customers to nominate Emergency Contacts who can receive notifications following certain detected events.
Emergency notifications are designed solely to assist nominated contacts.
MotoGuardian is not:
- an emergency service
- a replacement for emergency services

- a roadside assistance provider; or
a guaranteed emergency response system.
The Company does not monitor emergency alerts in real time and does not dispatch emergency responders.
Customers should always contact the appropriate emergency services directly where immediate assistance is required.
12.9 Rider Responsibility
Customers remain solely responsible for:
- riding safely
- complying with road traffic laws
- maintaining their motorcycle
- obtaining emergency assistance where required; and

12.10 Location Accuracy
Displayed locations may occasionally:
- be delayed
- contain inaccuracies
- display historic locations
- fail to update immediately; or
temporarily become unavailable.
Such occurrences may arise from circumstances outside the Company's reasonable control and shall not constitute a defect in the MotoGuardian platform.
12.11 International Use
MotoGuardian may operate in multiple countries; however, service availability depends upon:
- local mobile network coverage
- roaming availability
- telecommunications regulations
- satellite visibility; and
local infrastructure.
Certain features may not be available in every country.

other supporting technologies.
The Company accepts no responsibility for interruptions, delays or inaccuracies caused by failures of third-party services beyond its reasonable control.
12.13 Service Interruptions
The Company may to temporarily suspend GPS or connectivity services where reasonably necessary for:
- maintenance
- software upgrades
- cyber security protection
- regulatory compliance
- infrastructure improvements; or
emergency operational requirements.
Where reasonably practicable, advance notice will be provided.
12.14 Limitation of Reliance
Customers acknowledge that MotoGuardian should not be relied upon as the sole means of:
- preventing theft
- recovering stolen motorcycles
- protecting personal safety
- obtaining emergency assistance
- locating motorcycles in every circumstance; or
determining precise vehicle location.
MotoGuardian should be used alongside appropriate physical security devices, responsible riding practices and, where necessary, emergency services.
12.15 Data Transmission
Location data, alerts and notifications are transmitted electronically using third-party telecommunications infrastructure.
While the Company implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures, no electronic communications network can be guaranteed to be completely secure or continuously available.
Further information regarding the protection of Customer data is contained within the Privacy Policy.
12.16 Consumer Rights
Nothing in this section limits or excludes any statutory rights available to Consumers under the laws of the Republic of Ireland or, where applicable, the United Kingdom.
Where mandatory consumer protection legislation provides greater protection than these Terms, the applicable legislation shall prevail.

Although MotoGuardian is designed to improve the likelihood of locating a motorcycle and assisting riders following certain incidents, the Company does not warrant or guarantee that:
- a stolen motorcycle will be recovered
- law enforcement agencies will act upon location information
- Emergency Contacts will receive or respond to notifications
- emergency services will be dispatched; or
any particular outcome will result from the use of the MotoGuardian platform.
The Customer acknowledges that MotoGuardian is an assistance tool intended to complement, but not replace, sensible security precautions, safe riding practices and appropriate emergency procedures.

17.1 General Principles
The Company will exercise reasonable skill, care and diligence in supplying MotoGuardian products and services in accordance with these Terms and applicable law.
