Disclaimer of Warranty on Onboard and Web Portal Software.
Neither Agnik nor its licensors warrant the completeness or accuracy of the

always report all the health-issues of the vehicle. Among other things, VYNCS
may not report some manufacturer-specific vehicle health issues that turn on
some of the vehicle dash board lights. VYNCS report is for informational

resellers, or subsidiaries are responsible for any actions you may take on any
vehicles. You should always consult a qualified technician before performing
any repair or maintenance operation on a vehicle.
THE DEVICE THAT YOU INSTALL IN YOUR VEHICLE
DRAWS POWER ALL THE TIMES. ALTHOUGH THE AGNIK ONBOARD SOFTWARE TRIES TO
MINIMIZE THAT POWER DRAW AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, DEPENDING ON YOUR VEHICLE’S
BATTERY OR OTHER RELATED subSYSTEM CONDITIONS, YOU MAY EXPERIENCE LOW BATTERY
VOLTAGE ISSUE IF your VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEN FOR A FEW DAYS AT A TIME OR IF YOU
ARE GOING FOR a VACATION. AGNIK strongly suggest THAT YOU DISCONNECT THE DEVICE
from the obdii port IF YOU ARE GOING FOR a VACATION OR PLAN NOT TO DRIVE YOUR
VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN A COUPLE OF DAYS AT A TIME.
AGNIK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR (A) DELAYS IN DELIVERY, INSTALLATION OR PROVIDING THE SERVICE, NO MATTER WHO CAUSED THE DELAY. ANYTHING OUTSIDE AGNIK’S REASONABLE CONTROL OR RESULTING FROM END-USERS’ BREACH; OR AN ITEM ACQUIRED FROM A THIRD-PARTY DIRECTLY ACQUIRED BY THE END-USER AND USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH AGNIK’S SERVICES. END USER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ONBOARD HARDWARE IS A WIRELESS DEVICE AND THAT AGNIK CANNOT COLLECT SOME DATA (SUCH AS GPS DATA) USING THE ONBAORD HARDWARE ONCE IT TRAVELS BEYOND A CERTAIN RANGE. THE DELIVERY OF THE VYNCS ANALYTICS FROM THE IN-VEHICLE ONBOARD HARDWARE TO THE WEB PORTAL MAY ALSO GET DELAYED BECAUSE OF THIS. THE SOFTWARE SERVICES ARE DEPENDENT ON THE COVERAGE AREAS OF WIRELESS NETWORKS OWNED AND OPERATED BY THIRD PARTIES. COVERAGE AREAS ARE APPROXIMATE AND DO NOT COVER SIGNIFICANT PORTIONS OF NORTH AMERICA. ACTUAL CAPACITY, SYSTEM AND EQUIPMENT UPGRADES, REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE, MODIFICATIONS, RELOCATION, TERRAIN, SIGNAL STRENGTH, STRUCTURAL CONDITIONS, WEATHER AND ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS, GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, OTHER ACTS OF GOD, AND OTHER CONDITIONS THAT ARE BEYOND AGNIK’S CONTROL. END-USER UNDERSTANDS THAT AGNIK AND THE UNDERLYING CARRIER CANNOT GUARRANTY THE SECURITY OF THE WIRELESS TRANSMISSIONS, AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LACK OF SECURITY RELATING TO THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE SERVICES.
THE SERVICES MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IF THE HARDWARE IS IN

OPERATED BY AND ACCESSED THROUGH THIRD
PARTIES. AGNIK DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE RECEIPT OF DATA, MAPPING INFORMATION,
AND OTHER CONTENT FROM THE VYNCS HARDWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT THE
TRANSMISSION OF DATA, MAPPING INFORMATION, AND OTHER CONTENT FROM AGNIK TO THE
END-USER OR AGNIK’S SITE WILL ALWAYS BE TIMELY OR COMPLETE. END-USER
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NEITHER THE VYNCS HARDWARE NOR THE SOFTWARE SHALL PREVENT OR
DETECT ALL VEHICLE PROBLEMS, OR GUARANTEE THAT AN END-USER VEHICLE WILL NOT
BREAK DOWN OR GUARANTEE THAT THE END-USER (S) WILL NOT INCUR VEHICLE REPAIR
BILLS. END-USER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE VYNCS HARDWARE SHOULD NOT BE USED IN LIEU
OF A VEHICLE WARRANTY OR STANDARD VEHICLE MAINTENANCE. END-USER ACKNOWLEDGES

SYSTEMS NOT MONITORED BY YOUR VEHICLE ‘S COMPUTER. END-USER ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT VYNCS SOFTWARE ONLY MONITORS A SUBSET OF THE VEHICLE SYSTEMS. END-USER
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IF THE LOCATION-BASED DATA OR LOCATION-BASED SERVICES ARE
USED TO ATTEMPT TO LOCATE A VEHICLE (E.G. A STOLEN VEHICLE), AGNIK DOES NOT
GUARANTEE THAT THE VEHICLE WILL BE SUCCESSFULLY LOCATED AND/OR RECOVERED. IN
THE EVENT THE VYNCS HARDWARE OR THE SOFTWARE IS NOT ACTUALLY AVAILABLE OR IS
NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, A PARTICULAR MAKE/MODEL OF VEHICLE, AGNIK SHALL HAVE
THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT VYNCS DEVICE OR SERVICE.
EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH ABOVE, THE SOFTWARE IS
LICENSED “AS IS”. AGNIK DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. AGNIK DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE OR ANY EQUIPMENT, SYSTEM OR
NETWORK ON WHICH THE SOFTWARE IS USED WILL BE FREE OF VULNERABILITY TO
INTRUSION OR ATTACK.
No Consequential Damages. All VYNCS analytics,
report, and visualization should be used for informational purpose only, as a
tool for decision support. Many of the analytics and visualization modules in VYNCS
are generated based on a collection of powerful data mining and statistical
techniques. While VYNCS makes every effort to make them as accurate as
possible, the performance of these algorithms depends on various issues such as
amount of data analyzed, its quality, and the techniques themselves. Sometimes,
just like their human counterparts, data analysis techniques may produce
results that may not be correct. Bad sensors may also report incorrect data.
You should always verify every item in the reportS with qualified technicians. IN
NO EVENT SHALL AGNIK OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY SPECIAL,
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, VOIDED
VEHICLE MANUFACTURER’S OR ANY OTHER PARTY’s WARRANTY FOR YOUR VEHICLE
OR ANY VEHICLE PARTS AND OR LABOR, LOSS
OF REVENUES OR PROFITS, ANY INCURRED COST RESULTING FROM THE USE OF VYNCS HARDWARE
OR SOFTWARE EVEN IF AGNIK OR ITS LICENSORS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGES.
