Conditions of trade and delivery for Otiom

Otiom is a localisation product targeted at people with dementia, which only locates them when needed. A person with dementia is not monitored all the time, but only when necessary. The Otiom device comes with a wireless charger and a home base. When you receive Otiom, you can set a geographical and time-limited comfort zone via the app. You can also create a helper list on the app, which is a list of the people who can step in if the comfort zone is exceeded. Otiom is supplied by Otiom A/S.

The conditions are divided into 3 sections:

  1. General terms and conditions, including those for Otiom.
  2. Payment and subscription terms and conditions
  3. Terms and conditions for the Otiom software.

In the following, the Otiom hardware is called the “Otiom device”, while the application for the Otiom device is called the “App”.

Delivery of Otiom is solely on the basis of these terms and conditions of sale and delivery which are binding for all deliveries between the parties. The conditions apply to the use of Otiom and of the associated software, including the app.

A. General terms and conditions including those for Otiom.

1. Entering into a contract

A contract on the purchase or subscription of Otiom is entered into by sending the order confirmation. Until you have seen the order confirmation, Otiom A/S can revoke the submitted statements.

2. Delivery

Unless otherwise stated or agreed upon, delivery time is approximately 3 days. The Otiom device is sent by a recognised carrier and is delivered to the address that you have given on the order. Delivery of goods is considered as complete when the Otiom device comes into your possession.

3. Warranty

You have a 2-year warranty for defects in accordance with the provisions of the Danish Sale of Goods Act. You must give Otiom A/S written notification of the defect within a reasonable time after you have discovered the defect. Notification of the complaint must be sent to those listed in the contact details in point 9.

4. The right of cancellation and return

According to the Danish Consumer Protection Act, as a consumer, you have the right to cancel and return the Otiom device within 14 days after you receive it. If you want to cancel the purchase or subscription, you must make Otiom A/S expressly aware that you want to cancel the purchase within 14 days from receipt of the Otiom device.

You can send a notification to those listed in the contact details in point 9, or you can use the standard cancellation form available here.

If Otiom A/S receives notification of cancellation more than 14 days after the Otiom device came into your possession, you lose the right of cancellation.

The Otiom device – including the wireless charger and the Otiom base – must be returned within 14 days of the date on which you notified Otiom A/S that you wished to exercise your right of cancellation. These should be sent to the address specified in provision 9.

You will bear the costs associated with returning the Otiom device. This also applies if you do not collect Otiom at the correct time. You bear the risk if Otiom is damaged or accidentally lost during the return transport.

If your testing of the Otiom device goes beyond what is necessary to start using it, you are liable for any reduction in the value of the Otiom device. The right of cancellation is maintained, but Otiom A/S is entitled to offset the reduction in the amount repaid.

In the case of cancellation of a subscription, the subscription payment is returned to your account within 14 days of the date you announced the cancellation of your purchase. Otiom A/S reserves the right to withhold the purchase price of the Otiom device until the Otiom is received or until you have presented clear evidence that the Otiom device has been returned.

Otiom A/S is entitled to offset the above costs against the subscription payment.

5. Limitation of liability

Otiom A/S’ liability to compensate for a defective Otiom device is limited to the invoice price, and the liability to compensate does not include, under any circumstances, indirect losses, such as loss of production, loss of time, or other similar losses.

The Otiom device uses the IoT network. If there are faults or failures in the network, or if an Otiom device is located in an area where there is no or low coverage, Otiom A/S is not liable for this as Otiom A/S cannot provide better coverage/stability than what the operators have provided Otiom A/S.

6. Force majeure

Otiom A/S is not liable to compensate for non-compliance with Otiom A/S’ obligations if Otiom A/S can demonstrate that this is due to an obstacle outside of Otiom A/S’ control, such as, but not limited to, war, war-like situations, fire, server crashes, failures or disruptions in the IoT network, hacker attacks, etc.

7. Product information

The technical specifications of the Otiom device are indicative, and Otiom A/S assumes no responsibility for errors in this material. All information and data contained in this material is binding only to the extent expressly agreed between the Parties.

8. Applicable law and arbitration

Any disputes that arise regarding deliveries from Otiom A/S shall be settled under Danish law, but not Danish rules of private international law. All disputes that arise regarding deliveries from Otiom A/S will be decided finally by the district court in Aalborg.

B. Payment and subscription terms

11. Continuous subscription

When you buy Otiom on a subscription, you pay a fixed monthly subscription of DKK 299 incl. VAT per Otiom device. The subscription is continuous and is paid monthly in advance. It continues until it is either paused or terminated, unless otherwise agreed on execution of the purchase.

The subscription amount covers a licence for the Otiom device and the Otiom software. You must be at least 18 years old to buy a subscription.

12. Use of payment cards

Upon acceptance of the conditions, you consent to payment being deducted from the specified payment card. You will be charged the subscription amount for the first time upon contracting, and at the earliest upon shipment of the Otiom device.

You can pay with Dankort, VISA or MasterCard. In the event of late payment, interest will be added according to the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act with Danmarks Nationalbank’s official lending rate +7% p.a. You are responsible for keeping the card details updated so that the subscription fee can be deducted.

If your payment card expires soon or has expired, you can enter your new card number on otiom.com on your profile. Your card details are handled and stored by Reepay, and we have no access to them.

Data that you send when using a payment card is encrypted (SSL), and only payment service PBS can read it.

13. Proof of payment of the subscription

When you subscribe, you will receive a receipt by e-mail, which is the receipt for the purchase. You can always find the receipt in the profile that you created in connection with your purchase on Otiom.com.

14. Terminate a subscription

The subscription can be terminated, in writing, with 30-days’ notice to the end of a month. The subscription can be terminated by using the contact form on Otiom.com or by contacting Otiom A/S in accordance with the contact details listed in point 9.

Upon termination, you are required to return all Otiom devices including other equipment such as wireless chargers and Otiom bases, to Otiom A/S, within 14 days of the termination period.

15. Retention of title and the environment

The Otiom device is sold with retention of title. You must, therefore, return the Otiom device with the associated equipment when the subscription is terminated. Otiom A/S is entitled to take the product sold back if you – totally or partially – default on your payment obligation.

We recycle as much as possible of the Otiom device in the production of new devices to protect the environment.

16. Cash purchases

Purchases of Otiom can also be made in cash, with Dankort, VISA or MasterCard. The amount is deducted when Otiom is shipped. The price is DKK 2,999 incl. VAT and covers a starter kit consisting of an Otiom device, a wireless charger and a home base, as well as the Otiom software. It includes a data subscription, one year of free software updates and a one-year security guarantee. After the first year, the data subscription costs DKK 199 a year.
