Introduction

Thank you for choosing Whirlpool. Please carefully read these Whirlpool Smart Appliance Terms of Service (the “Agreement”). Throughout this Agreement, Whirlpool Corporation, including Whirlpool of India Limited, is referred to as “Whirlpool” or “we”, and the registered user(s) of the Whirlpool appliances is referred to individually and collectively as “you”. This Agreement is between you and Whirlpool.

Whirlpool has developed select smart appliances that may be connected to a device to provide users with interactive features and functionality (“Smart Appliances”), together with mobile applications that are designed to be used with Smart Appliances (“Mobile Apps”) and interact with Whirlpool’s related cloud-based services (“Services”). Mobile Apps and Services are referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “App/Services”.

This Agreement governs your use of and access to the App/Services. You may download and use the App/Services only for use with Smart Appliances owned by you or which you have been authorized to use in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

By checking the box, clicking “i agree”, or accessing or using the apps/services, you expressly agree to be bound by and abide by this agreement, including the arbitration agreement. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this agreement, you may not access or use the app/services, and you must immediately discontinue any and all use of the app/services.

This Agreement incorporates: (i) any additional terms and conditions posted by Whirlpool through the App/Services; (ii) terms and conditions (including warnings and warranty limitations) included in the Use and Care Guides applicable to particular Smart Appliances (“Use and Care Guides”); and (iii) the Whirlpool Smart Appliance Mobile Apps and Services Privacy Statement (the “Smart Appliance Privacy Statement”), the Whirlpool Privacy Statement to our customers located at www.whirlpoolindia.com/termofuse (“Privacy Statements”). It is your responsibility to read these additional terms and policies carefully. The Use and Care Guides and Privacy Statements are available for viewing/download online.

What Should I Know About My App/Services Account?

1. Changes to this Agreement & Notices.
Smart Appliances will continue to evolve. As such, we may need to update or modify the terms of this Agreement. We may change this Agreement by notifying you of such changes by any reasonable means, including by posting a revised Agreement through the App/Services. When we make a material change to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you will be notified of the revised terms when you first attempt to access the App/Services after such changes have become effective. You will not be able to access or use the App/Services until you review and click to accept the revised terms. The revised terms will not apply to any dispute between you and Whirlpool arising prior to the date on which you accepted those revised terms. You will not be notified of non-material changes to this Agreement. Your continued use of the App/Services following any changes to this Agreement will constitute your acceptance of those changes. Notices to you regarding the subject matter of this Agreement (including notices of changes to this Agreement) may be made via posting to the App/Services or by e-mail (including in each case via links), or by regular mail.

2. Privacy & Security.
By using the App/Services, you consent to the collection, use, disclosure and sharing of data as set forth in the Privacy Statements. Data stored as part of the services offered through the App/Services, on the App/Services, or on a Smart Appliance, transmitted over the Whirlpool networks, or stored by Whirlpool, its brands or its service providers may be deleted, modified, or damaged, and Whirlpool is not responsible for any such deletions, modifications or damage. Whirlpool is committed to maintaining the security of the data you provide us and will take reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures to protect your personal information. However, the App/Services and related services are provided through wireless networks and the Internet, and there is always some risk in transmitting information over the Internet. For this reason, Whirlpool cannot guarantee the security and privacy of wireless transmissions or transmissions via the Internet, and you agree that we will not be liable for any lack of security relating to the use of the App/Services or any Smart Appliance by you. You agree that you will not hold Whirlpool liable for any damages resulting from any loss of privacy or security occurring in connection with any communications over such networks.

3. App/Services Features & Functionality.
General. The App/Services may allow you to receive notifications regarding your Smart Appliance and remotely control and monitor your Smart Appliance, among other benefits. The features and functionality of the App/Services and Smart Appliances are described in greater detail in the Use and Care Guide applicable to each Smart Appliance. Updates to the App/Services and Smart Appliance. Over time, the software within the Smart Appliance that supports the features of the Smart Appliance, as well as features and functions that are enabled within the App/Services, will change as our business and technology evolve. New features and functions may be added, and others deleted or modified. You agree that Whirlpool may update, modify, or discontinue the App/Services (in whole or in part) or any features or functions within the App/Services or Smart Appliance, at any time, in Whirlpool’s sole discretion. In order to provide you with a more seamless user experience, we may update or modify the App/Services or Smart Appliance remotely without notifying you in order to ensure the safe and proper operation of the App/Services (e.g., bug fixes), and you consent to such updates or changes by Whirlpool.

4. Account Creation & Management.
General. In order to use the App/Services, you must create an App/Services user account and activate the connected functionality of the Smart Appliance. By creating an App/Services account and entering your Smart Appliance’s details in the App/Services, the Smart Appliance will automatically be registered with Whirlpool for product warranty and other purposes.
Creation of User Accounts. To create an App/Services user account, complete the account set-up process through the App/Services. You agree to accurately furnish all contact and other information requested by Whirlpool and to notify Whirlpool immediately of any change in the information. You must choose a password for your account and maintain the confidentiality of your password. Whirlpool encourages you to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers with your account. We may reject, or require that you change, any user name, password or other information that you provide to us during the account set-up process. Your user name and password are for your personal use only. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account. You, and not Whirlpool, are responsible for any use or misuse of your account, user name, or password, and you must promptly notify us of any confidentiality breach or unauthorized use of your user name or password, or your App/Services account. You may never use another user’s account without permission, act in a way that interferes with another user’s use of the App/Services or, except in connection with a Single-User Appliance (as defined below) solicit another user’s password. Whirlpool will not be liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of your account.
Connecting to Smart Appliances. To access and use the connected functionality of a Smart Appliance through the App/Services, you must add the Smart Appliance to your App/Services account by following the instructions in the applicable Use and Care Guide. Certain Smart Appliances may be connected only to a single App/Services account (“Single User Appliance”), while other Smart Appliances may be connected to multiple App/Services accounts (“Multi-User Appliance”). Once you connect a Single User Appliance to your App/Services account, your App/Services account will have administrative control over such Single User Appliance. The first App/Services account to connect to a Multi-User Appliance (“Administrative Account”) will have administrative control over such Multi-User Appliance and may have the ability to subsequently authorize other App/Services accounts to connect to such Multi-User Appliance (“Secondary Account”). The registered user of the Administrative Account is liable for all use of the Smart Appliance by any user of a Secondary Account as though such use of the Smart Appliance occurred under the Administrative Account.
Internet and Mobile Usage. Smart Appliances use your Internet connection to provide you with the connected functionality of the Smart Appliance. As such, to use the App/Services you must have a working wireless Internet connection at the location of your Smart Appliance. Use of the App/Services and receipt of notifications via your mobile device requires use of your mobile data connection, so you must purchase an appropriate data plan from your mobile service carrier in order to receive such notifications or use such App/Services. You are responsible for obtaining, maintaining and paying for all hardware and all telecommunications and other services needed to use the App/Services. Please consult your Internet service provider’s or mobile service carrier’s pricing plan terms and policies to determine applicable data charges (including text messaging charges if applicable), allotments and limitations, restrictions such as permissible uses, and other terms and conditions of service. Whirlpool is not responsible for any overage or other charges or actions that your Internet service provider or mobile service carrier may take against you for using data or the network in violation of your Internet service provider’s or mobile service carrier’s terms and policies. To avoid data charges (including text messaging charges if applicable) relating to use of the App/Services, stop using and uninstall the App/Services from your mobile device and disable all notifications through your App/Services account. If you wish to avoid any additional data charges from your Internet service provider relating to use of the App/Services and/or Smart Appliances, stop using the App/Services and Smart Appliances and de-provision your Smart Appliance from your wireless router in accordance with the instructions in the applicable Use and Care Guide.
Deactivation or Deletion of Your Account. You may delete or deactivate your App/Services account at any time through the App/Services. However, if you choose to keep your Smart Appliance connected to your Wi-Fi router after you deactivate your account, your Smart Appliance will continue to transmit data to Whirlpool unless you disconnect your Smart Appliance from your Wi-Fi router. While deactivating your App/Services account will stop you from receiving further Smart Appliance notifications, it will not automatically opt you out of receiving other communications from Whirlpool and its brands (as per the Smart Appliance Privacy Statement). You may change your communications preferences to stop receiving certain communications from us as described in the Privacy Statements.
Transfer of Smart Appliance. You may sell, loan or transfer your Smart Appliance to someone else. However, if you sell, loan or transfer your Smart Appliance to another person: (i) you agree to notify such person that the Smart Appliance is a Smart Appliance and is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (ii) you must promptly remove such Smart Appliance from your App/Services account or delete your App/Services account.

Introduction

Whirlpool of India Limited (“Whirlpool”) is a leading global manufacturer and marketer of major home appliances, including but not limited to, our Whirlpool and KitchenAid. Whirlpool has developed select smart appliances that may be connected to provide users with interactive features and functionality (“Smart Appliances”) together with one or more mobile applications designed for use with the Smart Appliances (“Mobile Apps”), and that interact with Whirlpool’s related cloud-based services (“Services”). This Smart Appliance Mobile Apps and Services Privacy Statement (the “Privacy Statement”) explains the types of information we collect through the Mobile Apps and Services (collectively, the “Apps/Services”) and how we may use and share that information. By using the Apps/Services, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to this Privacy Statement.
This Privacy Statement addresses our privacy practices solely for users of the Apps/Services India. Information collected about you outside of the Apps/Services, such as from our website or when you register an appliance that is not a Smart Appliance, is not governed by this Privacy Statement and is subject to our general Privacy Statement to our Customers available at www.whirlpoolindia.com/termofuse. 1. What types of information do the Apps/Services collect?
In order to provide the benefits of the Apps/Services, Whirlpool collects certain information through the Apps/Services. We collect two types of information through the Apps/Services: Personal Information and Other Information. “Personal Information” is information that identifies you specifically as an individual, such as your name or email address. “Other Information” is information that does not reveal an individual’s specific identity or does not directly relate to an identifiable individual, including information that has been de-identified or aggregated.
We collect Personal Information when you set up and use Apps/Services, including through:
Account creation and product registration: In order to connect your Smart Appliance to our network, you will need to download the appropriate Mobile Apps and create an account (a “Smart Appliances Account”). We will ask you to provide Personal Information including, but not limited to, your name, email address, physical address, and mobile telephone number. We also may give you the option of submitting email addresses and other Personal Information of other individuals to allow us to send an invitation to those you would like to allow to connect to the Smart Appliance through the Apps/Services, such as family members or renters in order to obtain their consent to be connected. Please ensure you have the authority to provide that information to us.
Use of services: We also may collect Personal Information during your use of the Apps/Services, such as if you submit a customer service request through Apps/Services.
Information from other sources: We may combine Personal Information collected through the Apps/Services with information that we have obtained about you from other sources, such as our websites or warranty cards. We also may receive Personal Information about you from third party sources, such as commercially-available sources, social media platforms, and providers of third-party products or Apps/Services, and combine such Personal Information with Personal Information collected through the Apps/Services. For example, we may collect information from third-party devices if you choose to connect them to the Apps/Services, such as collecting energy consumption data if you choose to connect your smart meter, if any to the Apps/Services.

2. In connection with the Apps/Services, we also collect Other Information, including:
1. Smart Appliance data: We collect data based on your use of the Apps/Services, such as the following:
Appliance details and other information: When you connect a Smart Appliance to our network, we collect details about your Smart Appliance, such as the Smart Appliance ID (or “SAID”) and serial and part numbers, and the IP address of your home router. We also may collect information regarding details of the local power company in your area at your request.
Status and usage data collected from Smart Appliances: We automatically collect information from the Smart Appliance on a periodic basis, including its status (such as whether the Smart Appliance is powered off or on, and details about any product cycle or function it is performing), any instructions that have been manually entered on the Smart Appliance itself, and aspects of its surrounding environment that may affect how it operates (such as input voltage, signal strength, and air temperature).
Usage data collected from Mobile Apps: We may track and collect Mobile App usage data, such as the date and time the Mobile Apps on your device accesses our servers and what information and files have been downloaded to the Mobile App, as well as the instructions that you or other users have transmitted to the Smart Appliance using the Mobile Apps (such as instructions to turn the Smart Appliance off or on, or to change its settings).

2. Data from third-party products or services: If you choose to connect your Smart Appliance to a third-party product or service, we may receive information from those third-party products or services. For example, if you have connected your Smart Appliance to a third-party home automation service, that third-party service might transmit data to the Apps/Services that allows corresponding adjustments to your Smart Appliance settings (such as sending a signal when no one appears to be at home, to allow your Smart Appliance to switch to a more energy-efficient mode).

3. Physical location: With your consent, we may collect the physical location of your mobile device by, for example, using satellite, cell phone tower or WiFi signals. We may use your device’s physical location to provide you with location-based services, such as identifying the location of the nearest dealer who can provide services or support for your Smart Appliance.

De-identifying or aggregating information: We may de-identify or aggregate Personal Information to create data that does not personally identify you or any other user of the Apps/Services. (For example, we may aggregate Personal Information to calculate the percentage of our users who use Smart Appliances within a particular zip code/postal code.)

When Other Information is combined with your Personal Information, we will treat this combined information as Personal Information as long as it is combined.

2. How may we use this information? We use Personal Information to provide and support the Apps/Services and Smart Appliances, for troubleshooting and maintenance (including for warranty purposes), to communicate with you about your account or appliance (including for product service and warranty issues), to improve our products and services, and, if you have consented, for research and development, to conduct surveys, and to send you marketing communications and offer you products and services from our various brands and from selected third parties. For example, we may send you a notification when your Smart Appliance needs to be replenished with a refill or replacement item and offer to direct you to a third-party business partner from which you can purchase that item. We also may use this information to provide you with customized offers, such as extended warranty terms based on your use of the Apps/Services and/or data from your Smart Appliance.
When Other Information identifies a specific device (e.g., by the SAID) or household (e.g., by home physical address), we will use that information only as we may use Personal Information. When Other Information does not identify a specific device or household, we may use that information for any purpose, unless prohibited by law.

How may we share this information?
We may share Personal Information: With our family of affiliated companies for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement. Please note that the affiliated companies are part of Whirlpool Corporation and are not third parties for purposes of this Privacy Statement.
With our third-party service providers to allow them to provide services to us (such as data analysis, surveys, data hosting, information technology, payment processing, customer support, warranty services, email delivery., and auditing).
With third-party products or services you have chosen to connect with your Smart Appliance through the Apps/Services. We only connect your Smart Appliance to a third-party product or service if you have been informed of the data exchange that would occur with that third-party product or service and you have expressly consented. You may choose to disconnect your Smart Appliance from such third-party products or services at any time.
With other selected third parties to allow them to send you marketing communications about their own products and services, with your consent.
With other users of the Smart Appliance. For example, if you choose to allow other users to connect to your Smart Appliance or your Apps/Services, or you accept an invitation to connect to another user’s Smart Appliance or Apps/Services, the other users may be able to view information related to your usage. If you sell or give away the Smart Appliance, we may share Other Information related to that Smart Appliance (but not your Personal Information) with the new owner (e.g., total number of cycles that your Smart Appliance has run). With the general public, if you choose to post comments or content (such as recipes) on message boards, blogs, or other interactive features made available through or in connection with the Apps/Services. We urge you to be very careful when deciding to make any of your Personal Information, or any Other Information, publicly available through the Apps/Services.
When Other Information identifies a specific device (e.g., by SAID) or household (e.g., by home physical address), we will share that information with third parties only as we may share Personal Information. When Other Information does not identify a specific device or household, we may share that information with any third parties at our discretion, unless prohibited by law.

Other uses and disclosures
In addition to the purposes listed above, we also may use or disclose Personal Information or Other Information as we believe to be necessary: (1) if we determine a policy violation has occurred, or to enforce our terms of service; (2) if we believe such disclosure is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action regarding injury or interference with the rights and property of Whirlpool or its affiliates, including, but not limited to, to enforce our right against unauthorized access or attempted unauthorized access to our information technology assets or against other inappropriate use of the Apps/Services; (3) to comply with laws, regulations, court orders or similar requests for information by authorities, or as required by law; (4) to protect your safety and the safety of others; (5) to assist us in fraud prevention or investigation; and (6) in connection with a reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings).

Choices
We give you a number of choices regarding your information, including: Receiving notifications: You may choose to receive notifications about your Smart Appliance (such as notification of cycle completion) as part of the Apps/Services, which may include notifications through text message or email. You may select which notifications you would like to receive, or disable notifications, through the Apps/Services.
Receiving marketing communications: If you have consented, Whirlpool may, from time to time, contact you with communications regarding our products or services. These communications may come from Whirlpool or one of its brands, and may involve product information, marketing or promotions, research, and/or other topics. To contact you, Whirlpool may use the information you provide to us, including email, direct (postal) mail, fax, or phone. You may, at any time, inform us that you do not want Whirlpool to send you marketing communications, by sending your request to our Privacy Office using the contact information in the Contacting Us section below. You may also unsubscribe from receiving promotional email communications from our brands by clicking on a link provided in that brand’s promotional email message. However, please note that you cannot opt-out from all communications, as Whirlpool may need to send you information related to our products (e.g., warranties, service reminders, etc.), your orders or accounts, etc.
Removing appliances or applications, or terminating accounts: You can use the Mobile Apps to remove a Smart Appliance from your Smart Appliances Account (such as if you sell or give it away) at any time. You can also delete our Mobile Apps from your mobile device if you no longer wish to use them on that device, or request termination of your Smart Appliances Account through the Mobile Apps if you no longer wish to use the Apps/Services. However, please be aware that these options do not prevent the continued transmission of Other Information from the Smart Appliance to our network. If you wish to terminate the transmission of Other Information from your Smart Appliance to our network, you will need to disconnect your Smart Appliance from your WiFi router as described below.
Disconnecting your Smart Appliance: If you no longer want your Smart Appliance to transmit Other Information to our network, you may choose to disconnect your Smart Appliance from your WiFi router at any time, although this will prevent you from being able to use the connected features of your Smart Appliance. If you disconnect your Smart Appliance from our network, we will continue to handle and protect any information we have previously received in accordance with this Privacy Statement.

6. Third-party services
The Apps/Services may contain links to websites owned by other companies. Because Whirlpool has no control over the privacy practices or content of these linked sites, we recommend that you carefully review the privacy statement of each website you visit. This Privacy Statement does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information or other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any product or service to which the Apps/Services allow you to connect your Smart Appliance.

7. Security
We are committed to maintaining the security of the data you provide us. We use reasonable organizational, technical and administrative measures to protect Personal Information that we maintain within our organization. We also seek to use third-party service providers capable of protecting the information they maintain or process for us. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us in accordance with the “Contacting Us” section below. You agree that you will not hold Whirlpool liable for any damages resulting from any loss of privacy or security occurring in connection with any communications over such networks. Your personal information will be stored on Whirlpool’s servers and/or at other third party facilities with which we have contracted for specific services.

8. Access You may review, correct and update your Personal Information through your account profile in the Apps/Services. You may also use the Apps/Services to review certain historical Other Information about your usage of the Smart Appliance.

9. Updates to this Privacy Statement
We may change this Privacy Statement. Please take a look at the “Last Updated” legend at the top of this page to see when this Privacy Statement was last revised. Any changes to this Privacy Statement will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Statement on the Apps/Services. Your use of the Apps/Services following these changes means that you accept the revised Privacy Statement.
