You have control over the Push Messages settings, and can opt in or out of these Push Messages through the Services (with the possible exception of infrequent, important service announcements and administrative messages).

You should only upload or post Content that you create or have the right to use and publish.

Swimmo stands behind its Products. Swimmo warrants that your Swimmo Product's hardware will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of one (1) year from the date of delivery to the original retail purchaser (the "Warranty Period"). This warranty policy applies only to Product's hardware manufactured by or for Swimmo that are marked with the Swimmo trade name or Swimmo logo, or products of authorized partners co-created by Swimmo.
During this Warranty Period, if a defect in the hardware of the Product arises, and you follow the instructions for returning the defective Product, Swimmo will inspect the Product, and at its sole option and subject to applicable laws: either (i) repair the Product using either new or refurbished parts, or (ii) replace the Product with a new or refurbished product.
If the same type of hardware defect occurs again after the Product was replaced or repaired, Swimmo will inspect the Product again and may: (i) repair the product using either new or refurbished parts, (ii) replace the product with a new or refurbished product, or (iii) if you have purchased the Product directly from Swimmo, at its decision refund the original purchase price upon return of the defective Product (excluding taxes and shipping costs).
To obtain Warranty Service for your Product, you have to notify Swimmo about the hardware defect to obtain a Return Material Authorization ("RMA") form and return the defective Product for Warranty Service together with RMA form. You are responsible for shipment of the defective Product to Swimmo and safe delivery to our office per RMA instructions. The parcel should be sent within 14 days of receiving the RMA form to the address specified by Swimmo. Swimmo recommends shipping using traceable service via your national postal service (e.g. USPS, RoyalMail). We are unable to accept parcels sent using couriers, especially FedEx or DHL. After the confirmation that defect is valid, Swimmo will reimburse you the costs of shipping up to 30 USD if you have purchased the Product directly from Swimmo.
In RMA form or during inspection of defective Product, you may be asked to provide order number. If your hardware Product was not purchased directly, you’ll need to provide your receipt from the retailer to confirm your warranty period. Manageable timeframe is needed for continuous quality improvement of production processes, that's why we ask you to inform the seller about the hardware defect within 60 days since it happened.
We may ask you - remotely via email (or during inspection of RMA after arrival) - for additional necessary information about the defect to verify the issue faster. A replacement Product is covered under the remaining Warranty Period of the original Product or ninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coverage for you. Swimmo reserves the right to decide whether to replace the Product or repair the defect especially if it is disproportionately expensive for the seller. If the defect is confirmed, after replacement or repair we send back the Product to you at our cost. Please note: We’ll do our best to mark the package as a return of a repaired product but we are not responsible for any duty or taxes in your country. Swimmo might at its sole decision on a case-by-case basis simplify the rules of Warranty Service without a need to change wording of these Terms.
This Warranty Service policy does not apply to, and specifically excludes, the following:
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SWIMMO’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR HARDWARE DEFECTS IS LIMITED TO REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT SERVICE AS DETERMINED BY SWIMMO IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.

ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, ARE DISCLAIMED. NO WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WILL APPLY AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
We will use reasonable efforts to correct any discovered issues in the Software of our Product, App or Services (the "Software").
