Accident Detection and Notification
SONAR TELEMATICS USA LLCdevices with the minimum firmware and equipment configurations are equipped with sensors and use software that allows for the detection of events related to vehicle impacts. Depending on the capabilities of the sensors and software, qualifying vehicle impact events ("accidents") will be displayed in the SONAR TELEMATICS USA LLCapplications and the SONAR TELEMATICS USA LLCuser website. Additionally, fault notifications will be available through SMS messages, push notifications, or emails. However, ACCIDENT DETECTION AND NOTIFICATION MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN CERTAIN CASES, such as when the SONAR TELEMATICS USA LLCdevice is damaged or when cellular or other signals are unavailable or intermittent. If the device experiences a loss of wireless service, no data will be transmitted.
While reasonable care has been taken in designing the device's sensors and software to successfully detect impact events indicative of a car accident, there is a high likelihood that not all vehicle impact events will be considered a car accident. Some detected impact events will not be indicative of a car accident. Events including, but not limited to, the following may cause detected impact events that may be reported as an accident: Sudden closing of doors, trunk, cargo areas, and engine hood, connecting or towing trailers, loose and shifted cargo.
Similarly, despite care taken in designing and processing the correct sending of SMS, push notifications, and emails to notify designated contacts about an accident, no guarantees are offered that such alerts or notifications will be received satisfactorily.
Based on the above:
- Not all detected impact events will be considered an accident.
- Not all detected impact events will be displayed in SONAR TELEMATICS USA LLCapplications or on the SONAR TELEMATICS USA LLCwebsite.
- Not all detected impact events will result in a Notification.
- Not all SMS messages, push notifications, or emails will be received by the designated recipients.
OBD II Port Communication Issues
The device needs the power supplied by the vehicle's battery to function properly. If the battery runs out, the device will shut down instantly, which could affect its operability. Additionally, it is essential that the vehicle's OBD II communications are stable and functioning properly for the SONAR TELEMATICS USA LLCServices to operate optimally. If these communications are unreliable or problematic, the device will not be able to collect the necessary information about the vehicle's condition and other specific data, which could affect its functioning.
- PRIVACY
The privacy of your information is a priority for us. Our Privacy Policy is essential and forms an integral part of these terms and conditions. We suggest you review it carefully before using our services. This policy may be updated regularly, so be sure to review it periodically to stay informed of any changes. If you do not agree with our Privacy Policy, we recommend that you do not use our products or services or acquire a subscription.

We may also impose limits on certain features and aspects of the Service or restrict access to parts or all of the Service without notice or liability.
Vehicle Location Services
Some Service features rely on tracking the location of your vehicle. To provide these functions, we use the data collected by the Service while the Device is properly installed in your vehicle. This data may include information about the use, operation, location, performance, and other driving behaviors of your vehicle. By subscribing to the Service, you consent to the collection of this data as part of the Service.

Vehicle Diagnostics
The Service monitors your vehicle’s onboard diagnostics using the data collected by the Service while the Device is properly installed in your vehicle. It is important to note that the Service does not cover all vehicle diagnostic codes nor does it detect all conditions that may affect your vehicle’s operation. Along with the other limitations of liability set forth in these Terms, you acknowledge and agree that we assume no responsibility for mechanical or performance issues related to your vehicle. The information retrieved by the Device may vary between different vehicles due to differences between manufacturers, models, and years of manufacture. Consequently, you may not have access to certain Service features available to other users subscribed to the same service.
VEHICLE DIAGNOSTICS SERVICES ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND ARE DESIGNED TO HELP IDENTIFY THE POSSIBLE SOURCE OF A PROBLEM BASED ON ACTIVATED DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND ARE NOT DESIGNED TO REPLACE IN-PERSON SERVICE EVALUATIONS. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE FROM A VEHICLE SPECIALIST FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR OF ANY ERRORS OR OTHER ISSUES WITH YOUR VEHICLE.
Cellular Service
The Device is equipped with a SIM card that connects to a cellular network provided by a third-party wireless service provider. The cellular service is covered by your Subscription, and no additional charges will apply for this service. In this regard, you must comply with all terms of service of the wireless service providers and/or third parties supplying the connectivity to these networks (the "Wireless Service Terms"), which are subject to periodic updates. Currently, the Service is available in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Ecuador. The cellular service included in your Subscription is intended exclusively for use with the Service and not for other purposes or applications.
The location of your vehicle, particularly in remote or enclosed areas, may affect the availability and quality of the Service we can provide. The Service generally operates using wireless communication networks from our wireless service providers and the satellite network of the Global Positioning System (GPS). The Device receives GPS signals and communicates with our data centers and those of our affiliates or providers using wireless and fixed communication networks. As such, the service cannot function unless your vehicle is in a location where our wireless service providers and/or their roaming providers have coverage, network capacity, and reception. The aspects of the Service involving your vehicle’s location information cannot function unless GPS satellite signals are unobstructed, available in that location, and compatible with the Device.
Wireless Service
Wireless service availability may vary based on location and time. Therefore, the service provided by SONAR TELEMATICS may not be accessible in all areas or at all times.
Global Positioning System (GPS)
The Device requires GPS service to determine its precise location; however, GPS coverage may not be available in all locations or at all times. If GPS location data is unavailable, SONAR TELEMATICS may not be able to provide your precise location for any applicable Service Features.
Force Majeure Events
Various conditions beyond our control may prevent or delay us, our affiliates, or our providers (or other third parties) from providing the Service offered by SONAR TELEMATICS.

If any of the above prevents or interferes with our provision of the Service, we may, at our discretion, suspend or terminate the Service (in whole or in part) or cancel your subscription without notice and without any commitment or liability. Additionally, we, our affiliates, and our providers (or other third parties) are not responsible for any Service or failures, interruptions, delays, or deteriorations of the Device due to these causes.
