Terms & Conditions

Effective as of 2021-11-01

Welcome to the Terms and Conditions of Use ("Terms") for the NIRA Service Winter Road Insights (“Service”). The Terms you see below are important because they:

  • Outline your legal rights on NIRA
  • Explain the rights you give to us when you use NIRA
  • Describe the rules everyone needs to follow when using NIRA
  • Contain a class action waiver and an agreement to resolve any disputes that may arise by arbitration

Please read these Terms and any other terms referenced in this document carefully. 

Introduction

NIRA provides services for visualization and analysis of data associated to the road surface (“Content”). Most of the Content is created from data created by connected cars that contain NIRA’s proprietary onboard algorithms for measuring the friction between the tire and the road, as well as the road roughness. When subscribing to the Service, you are granted access to the Content you subscribe to in a geographically limited area, as well as to the services available for visualization and analysis of the Content. NIRA may from time to time add or even remove services. The current service offer can be found in https://roads.niradynamics.se/.

By signing up or otherwise using any of these services, including all associated features and functionalities, websites and user interfaces, as well as all content and software applications associated with our services, or accessing content that is made available through the service you are entering into a binding contract with NIRA Dynamics AB.

Your agreement with us includes these Terms and any additional terms that you agree to (collectively Agreements). If you wish to review the terms of the Agreements, the current effective version of the Agreements can be found on NIRA’s website. You acknowledge that you have read and understood the Agreements, accept these Agreements, and agree to be bound by them. If you don't agree with (or cannot comply with) the Agreements, then you may not use the Service or access any Content.

In order to use the NIRA Service and access any Content, you need to have the power to enter a binding contract with us and not be barred from doing so under any applicable laws. You also promise that any registration information that you submit to NIRA is true, accurate, and complete, and you agree to keep it that way at all times.

Changes to the Agreements

Occasionally we may make changes to the Agreements. When we make material changes to the Agreements, we'll provide you with notice as appropriate under the circumstances, e.g., by displaying a prominent notice within the Service or by sending you an email. In some cases, we will notify you in advance, and your continued use of the Service after the changes have been made will constitute your acceptance of the changes. Please therefore make sure you read any such notice carefully. If you do not wish to continue using the Service under the new version of the Agreements, you may terminate your account by contacting us at info@niradynamics.se.

Enjoying the NIRA services

Here is some information about how you can get access to the Service.

Subscription

When signing up to the service you will gain a trial account for the selected region for 60 days. During the sign-up period a NIRA Sales Representative will get in contact with you to explain the service further and to find a suitable prolonged solution. By signing up for the trial period you give us the right to contact you with further business propositions.

Trials

From time to time, we may offer trials of Paid Subscriptions for a 60-day period without payment or at a reduced rate (a "Trial"). NIRA may determine your eligibility for a Trial and withdraw or modify a Trial at any time without prior notice and with no liability, to the extent permitted under applicable law.

Payments and Cancellations

NIRA may change the price for the Paid Subscriptions from time to time and will communicate any price changes to you in advance. The new price will be applicable for the next subscription period, the current period will not be affected.

To cancel your subscription, you simply do not pay the renewal invoice and the service will stop working after the current subscription has expired.

Service limitations and modifications

NIRA will make reasonable efforts to keep the Service operational. However, certain technical difficulties, maintenance or testing, or updates required to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, may, from time to time, result in temporary interruptions. NIRA reserves the right, periodically and at any time, to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, functions and features of the Service, with advance notice where possible, all without liability to you, except where prohibited by law, for any interruption, modification, or discontinuation of the Service or any function or feature thereof.

Term and termination

The Agreements will continue to apply to you until terminated by either you or NIRA.

You may terminate the Agreements at any time. To terminate your accounts please contact us using the contact form on www.roads.niradynamics.se or via info@niradynamics.se. If you terminate the Agreement, no refunds will be paid.

This section will be enforced to the extent permissible by applicable law.
