EXPanda terms of use

What EXPanda is

EXPanda is an independent project that adds features to the Geely EX2 head unit and has a phone app that talks to it. The apps are ours and you install them yourself, in your car and on your phone. It does not belong to Geely or to any carmaker, and has no connection with them. What comes from the factory in the car is never changed by us: EXPanda only adds. By using the apps, the head unit or this site, you agree to these terms.

Your account and the pass

• The EXPanda account is created with your Google account; there is no new password.
• An account belongs to one person and can have up to two linked cars.
• You are responsible for the use of your account and of the devices linked to it.
• EXPanda only works with an account. The device keeps a pass that is valid for 7 days and renews whenever it talks to the server; if it stays offline longer, there are 3 more days of grace. After that, or if the account is blocked, EXPanda's features stop and only the sign-in screen remains: whatever came from the factory in the car keeps working as always.

Plans

• Some features depend on the account's plan (free or paid). Each plan is a group of permissions, and what each one includes is shown on the site and in the app.
• Prices and payment methods do not exist yet. No charge will be made without a clear notice and your acceptance.
• A promotion may unlock a paid feature for a while; when it ends, the account goes back to its plan.

Permitted use

• Using the apps in your car and on your phone.
• Selling, renting or distributing copies of the apps, or trying to get around the account or the service's safeguards, is not allowed. Every downloaded copy carries a mark that identifies the account and the car.
• Misuse (a sold copy, a stolen device, an attempted fraud) can lead to the account or the device being blocked: the Store and the updates stop, and EXPanda's features on the head unit are reduced step by step. Nothing from the car's factory software stops working.

The car and your safety

• Installing EXPanda requires enabling the head unit's debug access (ADB) through the USB drive procedure. You do it yourself, at your own risk, and it may affect the head unit's warranty: read the guide first.
• The apps do not touch the driving of the car (engine, brakes, steering).
• Install and set up with the car parked. While driving, attention is your responsibility, and traffic law applies as always.

Updates and the service

• The project publishes new versions on two channels: stable, and experimental for testers.
• The service is provided as is, with no guarantee that it works without interruption or errors on every car and every head unit version. Features may change or end; we announce important changes in the app.

Limit of liability

• We do our best for EXPanda to work well, but it is provided as is: we do not promise it will work on every car, on every head unit version, or without interruption.
• Installing EXPanda is your choice. The effects on the head unit's and the car's warranty, and how you use the car, are your responsibility.
• To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses (such as profits you did not make) or for damage caused by use outside these terms. Nothing here takes away the rights the law gives you.

Privacy and the fleet

How we handle your data is in the privacy policy, which is part of these terms. The fleet features (the car's status, its position, remote support and technical access) only work with the switches you turn on on the head unit's screen, all turned off from the factory.

Suspending, ending and contacting us

• You can delete the account whenever you want: in the app, under EXPanda Account, or on the data deletion page.
• We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms; EXPanda stops on it, and whatever came from the factory keeps working.
• These terms follow the laws of Brazil. The venue for resolving disputes will be stated here after the legal review.
• Questions: in the app itself, under EXPanda Account, or through the privacy contact right below.
