1.7. The Client will need to be of legal age to contract the Services.
2. Pre-requisites
2.1. In order to contract and/or use the Services, the Client shall meet the following pre-requisites and perform the following actions:
(i) Have a SEAT or CUPRA vehicle compatible with the Services (the “Vehicle/s”). The Client can find information about compatible vehicles in Applications;
(ii) Have a smartphone, tablet, computer or any other electronic device with data connection (Clause 4);
(iii) Have (or create to this purpose) a SEAT ID user account and log in with the user name and the password of the Client (Clause 5);
(iv) Have contracted and activated the Services in the framework of the first service order placed by the Client (the “Service Order”) (Clause 6).
(v) Client would be considered as the Primary User of the Vehicle. More information about the different functions and users is available on the following link https://www.cupraofficial.com/services/connect.html / https://www.seat.com/owners/connectivity/seat-connect-service.html and the description of user roles in section 16.
2.2. If the Vehicle (regardless of the model, year of the model and equipment) is equipped with the “emergency call service”, the Client can use such feature with no SEAT ID user account, order or activation.
3. Services and availability
3.1. The Services are further described in detail in the Applications.
3.2. The Services can be used through the following Channels (the “Channels”):
The mobile application “My SEAT / My CUPRA / SEAT CONNECT / CUPRA CONNECT”, which can be downloaded for free in the App Store of the relevant operator (the “Application” or the “App”); and
The navigation or radio system incorporated in the Vehicle (“Navigation System” or “Radio”).
Not all compatible Vehicles have a Navigation System. Certain compatible Vehicles are equipped with a Radio system, which allows reception of the Services with a different range. The Client can find more information about possible limitations of the equipment of the Client’s Vehicle in the Applications.
3.3. Likewise, not all the Services can be used from all the Channels mentioned above. Some Services are compatible for all Channels, for two of them or are specific for each of the Channels. The Client can find more information about the compatibility of the Services with the Channels in the Application or the Navigation/Radio System.
3.4. Each Client can contract all or part of the Services, depending on the Service Order placed during the contracting process (Clause 6). Certain Services may be offered free of any charge (e.g. within a free trial period) and as factory settings when the Client acquires a new Vehicle. In the same way, each Service Order placed by the Client shall be linked to the Vehicle indicated by the Client during the activation process (Clause 6). Thus, the Services cannot be transferred to any other vehicle different from the Vehicle for which the Services were contracted.
3.5. The availability of all or part of the Services may be affected by technological infrastructure restrictions, network incompatibilities and/or technical limitations existing in countries other than the country in which the Vehicle was first purchased by the Client. SEAT does not guarantee that the Services can be fully enjoyed in any country other than the country where the Vehicle was first purchased and therefore, SEAT shall not be liable if such circumstances are out of its control.
3.6. In order to provide the Services, SEAT may expect that your vehicle and the Channels are in good working order, have the electrical system running and adequate battery power. The Service may not function if you attempt to modify or add any equipment or software on or to the Vehicle that is not expressly authorized by SEAT or is not compatible with the Service. The Client is solely responsible for the proper maintenance of the Client´s Vehicle or different Channels and its systems.
3.7. Due to the developments of information technologies and the technical progress of the automotive industry, the Services of the Client’s Vehicle may be occasionally adapted to new updates and improvements. For such purposes, SEAT reserves the right to modify the features of the Services, at no additional costs for the Client during the Term of the contracted Services. SEAT will inform the Client, on a durable support, of the type and scope of such modifications with reasonable advance.
Where such modifications negatively affect the Client (and provided such negative effects are not of minor importance) the Client will be entitled to terminate this contract within the following thirty (30) natural days from the reception of the notification informing about the modifications, or upon the modification of the Services, if it were to occur in a later time. Termination of the contract shall be regulated as stated in Clause 10 below.
Nevertheless, the right to terminate this contract for the purposes above shall not apply if SEAT has given the Client the option to maintain, without additional costs, the Services without the modification and they remain in compliance.
3.8. SEAT will take reasonable action within its capacities to ensure continuous availability of the Services, and will use its best efforts to take care of any failure as soon as feasible.
3.9. Nonetheless, in case of force majeure (for example, armed conflict, adverse climatological conditions or labour conflict measures, etc.) or due to the performance of maintenance, repair or any other kind of actions required in the SEAT technical devices or the devices of third parties which provide data, contents, information or the transfer capability of the Services, the Services may be interrupted or hindered (speed). Likewise, an increment in the simultaneous use of the Services may impair such Services.
3.10. In addition, SEAT will take the appropriate measures to update the Services, especially in order to prevent threats of cyber attacks against the safety of vehicles, traffic, life, health, the right to information (privacy), the ownership, assets of the Client, the owner or holder of the vehicle or on any third party or SEAT itself. Such measures may result in restrictions to the Services and/or in the data connections. Depending on the severity of the threats and/or the importance of the assets threatened, such measures may also imply temporary blockage of some or all of the Services as well as an interruption of the data connection.
3.11. To implement the above measures or to restore the total availability of the Services or the data connection, SEAT may provide the Client with a free software update in the Vehicle, to be installed by the Client as soon as possible. Restoring complete availability of the Services may also require another action from the Client (for example, changing the SEAT ID password). SEAT will not be responsible for any lack of conformity over the Services if, after a reasonable period, the Client has not installed such updates following SEAT’s indications.
3.12. On its side, the Client grants SEAT a non-exclusive, unlimited, unrestricted, full, transferable, free and sub-licensable right of use of all data derived from their use of the Services, especially technical data, that do not refer to persons or whose personal references have been removed (anonymised data).
3.13. In the event of technical issues or any other problem related to the Services, the Client can refer to SEAT’s Customer Care department. The Client can find the contact particulars in the Applications.
4. Data connection
4.1. In order to be used by the Client, the Services require the following data connections:
Data connection between the Vehicle and the data server; and
Data connection between the Client’s device (e.g. smartphone, tablet, computer, etc.) (the “Client’s Device”) and the data server. This connection is just required for packages named “Remote Access” and “Media & Internet”.
4.2. Data connection between the Vehicle and the data server:
4.2.1. Data connection between the Vehicle and the SEAT data server is required to use the Services.
4.2.2. The contracting of the Services includes a part of the usage of the Client’s data connection as regards certain Services. In order to use other Services, which may demand a higher data connection usage, the Client may acquire additional data packages from third parties, at his own expense. Further information on the data connection required for each of the contracted Services can be found in the Applications, as well as alternatives to acquire additional data packages from telecommunication operators. SEAT shall not be liable for the connectivity services provided by third parties.
4.2.3. The Services are configured to activate the data connection between the Vehicle and the data server when the Vehicle is located in a country authorized by SEAT for the use of such communication (“Area of Use”).

4.2.5. The operation and performance of the data connection between the Vehicle and the data server depend on a range of causes, which may be from time to time out of SEAT’s control. For illustration purposes, and without limitation, the adequate reception of the signal in the location of the Vehicle, the failure, diminution or interruption of the coverage in tunnels, garages and underground subways, as well as other adverse factors (meteorological conditions, devices producing interferences, buildings, intensive use of the relevant cellular network).
4.2.6. SEAT has no obligation to maintain or support any data connection between the Vehicle and the SEAT data server if the specific network technology upon the connectivity of the Vehicle relies is discontinued (“Technology Sunset”).
4.3. Data connection between the Client’s Device and the data server:
4.3.1. The data connection between the Client’s Device and the data server for the use of the Services through the Application is not part of the Services provided by SEAT. Therefore, the terms and conditions agreed with the telecommunication services provider of the Client and/or the Co-users shall apply. The above may result in additional costs, especially in the case of connectivity and itinerancy fees. These costs are out of the scope, control and responsibility of SEAT.
5. User Account

For further questions about recovering passwords, the Client can contact SEAT’s Customer Care Department in each country (the service has limited opening hours) or check the FAQ section in the Applications.
5.4. Some Services require a personal identification number (S-PIN) to login. The Client can find further information on this matter in the Applications.. The client must maintain this security PIN confidential. If the security PIN is disclosed to third parties, the Client shall modify the security PIN immediately.
5.5. The Client shall take all necessary actions to guarantee that the information of the SEAT ID User Account is true and complete.

5.6. SEAT provides the SEAT ID User Account to the Client, free of charge.

14.3. As regards the information, data, images and other contents provided by third parties in the framework of the provision of the Services, the Client acknowledges that SEAT does not review nor modifies the content of such data, as well as any other content and information.
14.4. Neither will SEAT be liable for any circumstance affecting the Services derived from problems with the data connection provided by third parties. In this sense, SEAT will not be liable of any Technology Sunset, as described in Clause 4.2.6. However, SEAT will reasonably notify the Client in writing after becoming aware of the impending Technology Sunset of the prospective date after which the technology will no longer be available.
14.5. SEAT will not be liable for any damage caused by the choice by the Client of an inadequate password to login to the SEAT ID User Account or an inadequate protection of the password. SEAT will neither be liable for the damages caused by third parties to whom the Client has granted access to the Services.
15. Warranty
15.1. Without prejudice of clauses 13 and 14 above and Client’s Right of withdrawal, provided that the Services have been correctly installed, and for the duration of the relevant contract, SEAT shall be liable to the Client in the event that the Services (i) do not conform to the description and qualities made available to the Client on these General Terms and the particular conditions stated in the Application prior to contracting, which should be of the same quality and features that similar services offer; and provided the Client has not expressly accepted that any specific feature of the Services deviats from such conformity; (ii) are not suitable for the ordinary uses for which they are intended (including those uses for which similar services are provided, taking into account the existing technical standards); (iii) are not provided with adequate instructions (and which the Client may reasonable expect to receive); and (iv) are not provided with relevant updates as stipulated by the contract.
15.2. SEAT shall provide all necessary updates, including security updates, to ensure the conformity of the Services during the term of the applicable contracted Service, as indicated in its particular conditions. The above shall not apply if the Client does not install the updates made available by SEAT within a reasonable period, provided SEAT has duly informed the Client about such updates and that the instructions provided in this regard are accurate.
15.3. In the event of a lack of conformity of the Services, the Client is entitled to have Services brought into conformity, for example via update, recovery of the continuous supply or elimination of restricted performance (speed). If (i) SEAT refuses or fails to achieve conformity within a reasonable period of time and without significant inconvenience for the Client (ii) if the lack of conformity is of such serious nature that it is unreasonable for the Client to apply first for rectification, then the Client is entitled to (a) in the case of payable Services, a proportionate reduction of the price, if any, for the period of time during which the digital content or digital service was not in conformity and (b) unless the lack of conformity is only minor, to terminate the contract in accordance with Section 3.7. A price reduction or refund is proportionate if it reflects the decrease in the value of the Services compared to the value that the digital content or digital service would have provided had they been compliant.
15.4. In deviation from the regulations in Section 15.1 above, SEAT shall not be liable for the lack of conformity which is exclusively the result of the Client’s failure to install the update within a reasonable time, provided that the failure to install by the Client was not due to the lack or shortcomings in the installation instructions provided by SEAT.
15.5. To assert Client’s rights under this Section 15, the Client can contact SEAT’s Customer Care department.
15.6. The Client may exercise the rights under the warranty, regardless of the rights resulting from the statutory guarantee.
16. Co-users
16.1. The Client can authorise a reasonable number of individuals (for example, family members, friends, colleagues) to use the Services in the Client’s Vehicle (the “Co-user” or “Co-users”).
16.2. The general rule, in order to use the Services for the Client’s Vehicle, is that the Co-user must have a SEAT ID User Account or create such account in the terms established herein, activate the Services specifically linked to his SEAT ID User Account as regards the use of the Vehicle, and to accept these General Terms, the particular conditions and any other terms of use or privacy policies which may be applicable.
16.3. The Services cannot be used simultaneously and certain Services cannot be used by any other person than the Client, even with a SEAT ID User Account. Not all Services require a SEAT ID User Account to be used by any other drivers or passengers than the Client. Please find more information on this matter in the Application or the Navigation/Radio System. In such cases, the Client will be responsible to inform such individuals about the terms applicable to the Services and the correct use of such Services.
16.4. The use of the Services will not imply any additional cost for the Co-users who had not originally contracted the Services.
16.5. The scope and, in general, the pacific and uninterrupted use of the Services by the Co-users will depend on the use available for the Client, and the features and contents acquired by the latter. SEAT will not be committed to inform the Co-user of any modification in the Services. SEAT will only be obliged to inform the Co-users about any modification in these General Terms if such changes affect the Co-users.
16.6. The Client and any occasional Co-user can terminate at any time the right of the Co-user cancelling the relevant user accounts. Otherwise, the access of the Co-user to the Services will end upon expiration of the Period of Validity of the Services contracted by the Client from time to time or in case of termination of the contract in the terms set forth in these General Terms.
16.7. Co- User of the Vehicle can be a Primary User (Primary User), Secondary User (Secondary User) or a Guest User (Guest User).
Each user has the following roles:
A. Primary User: is the one who orders Services and connects Vehicle to Services according to this General Terms. Primary User has access to the full scope of Services available. The Primary User should be the owner, keeper or another person who uses the Vehicle predominantly (e.g. lessees, company car users, etc.).
B. Secondary User: is the one who is logged into the Vehicle and connected to Services with their SEAT ID, who is approved as Secondary User of Vehicle by the Primary User. The Secondary User does not have access to Service that are exclusively provided to the Primary User. The Primary User can remove the Secondary User at any time via Application. The Secondary User can also cancel his role as Secondary User himself. The role as Secondary User is intended for a person who uses the Vehicle regularly for a longer period of time (e.g. family member, life partner or friend of the Primary User). Several Secondary User can be assigned to the Vehicle simultaneously. The Secondary User must accept these General Terms when they first login to a Vehicle connected to SEAT CONNECT. The Secondary User shall not be subject to any rights and obligations that are only assigned to the Primary User under these General Terms.
C. Guest User: is the one who is logged into the Vehicle and connected to SEAT CONNECT with his SEAT ID. The Guest User does not have access to Services that are exclusively provided to the Primary User or the Secondary User. Any Vehicle user (including Anonymous Guest) can delete the Guest User in the Vehicle at any time via the Navigation System. The Primary User can remove the Guest User at any time via Application. The Guest User role is intended for a person who uses the Vehicle regularly for a longer period of time (e.g. family member, life partner or friend of the Primary User), occasionally or as a one-off. The Guest User must accept these General Terms when he first log into a Vehicle connected to SEAT CONNECT. The Guest User shall not be subject to any rights and obligations that are only assigned to Primary User or Secondary User.
These conditions do not apply to a user who is not a Primary User, Secondary User or Guest User and who is using Services without having connected to the SEAT CONNECT on his SEAT ID (Anonymous Guest).
The available user roles may vary in particular depending on the model, year of manufacture and equipment of the Vehicle and the software version of the Services included in the Vehicle.

17. Permanent transfer of the Vehicle
17.1. The Services contract will always be linked to the Vehicle and, therefore, the Client will not be entitled to transfer the Services to any other vehicle. In the event of sale or any other permanent transfer of the Vehicle to any third party purchaser (the “Purchaser”), the Client shall:
Transfer the Services contract to the Purchaser;
Delete all the personal data stored in the Vehicle; and
Remove the Vehicle from SEAT ID User Account at the Application.
In the event of loss or destruction of the Vehicle, the Client shall have no claim against SEAT for reimbursement of the price paid for Service.
17.2. The Purchaser may use the Services after creating a SEAT ID User Account, acquiring any Services, and activating such Services in line with the provisions of this document.
17.3. The validity of the transfer of the Services contract to the Purchaser will depend on SEAT’s approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld. The Order Confirmation for the Services, as established herein, will serve as proof of acceptance by SEAT to the transfer of the contract.
18. Jurisdiction and applicable law
18.1. This Section 18 only applies to consumers having their domicile or place of ordinary residence in a member state of the European Union and does not affect the statutory regulations regarding alternative consumer dispute resolution that may exist in countries outside the European Union.
18.2. These General Terms shall be governed by Spanish common laws (‘legislación española común’). If the Client is a consumer, the laws of the state in which the consumer has his domicile or normal place of residence when the contract was executed shall apply.
18.3. Any dispute arising from this contractual relation shall be subject to the competent courts of the city of Barcelona (Spain). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Client acts as a consumer, such disputes shall be subject to the courts of the place of residence of the consumer.
18.4. The Client, in case he acts as a consumer, may also submit any dispute arising from or in relation to these General Terms to an alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) procedure. The list of the European Commission of ADR platforms available can be found at: https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/odr/main/index.cfm?event=main.home.chooseLanguage.
18.5. Notwithstanding the above, SEAT does not undertake nor is committed to take part in online dispute resolution procedure before the consumer arbitration body.
19. Severability
19.1. If any term or provision of these General Terms is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining terms and provisions shall not be affected, provided that the rights and obligations of the parties arising from these General Terms were not essentially affected. For these purposes, essential means any situation which causes a serious damage to the interests of any of the parties, or in relation to the purpose of these General Terms. Such clauses affected shall be superseded or integrated with other clauses which, being compliant with the law, have the same purpose of the substituted clauses.
20. Export Control
20.1. When using the SEAT ID User Account and the Services, the Client undertakes to comply with all applicable foreign trade and export control provisions, laws and rules. In addition to national foreign trade export control provisions, laws and rules, this may also apply to EU export control provisions, laws and rules as well as extraterritorially applicable export control and sanction regulations of the United States of America and other countries. The Client is also responsible for compliance with any applicable local provisions, laws and rules regarding the import, export or re-export of the digital services and related products, software and technologies.
20.2. The Client further acknowledges and confirms that, based on applicable export control and sanction rules and regulations - to the extent compliance is required by law – the Client is not prohibited from obtaining or using (the) digital services and related products, software or technologies.
