1. SCOPE AND DRIVESCAPE SERVICES.
DriveScape Technology that Works Together.
a) This agreement describes the use of the Device and the connected backend web-based data service which processes the video, audio, and other data and files from the Device (collectively, DriveScape Services).
b) The Device collects and processes telematics data (such as location data, hard braking, harsh acceleration, trip data, and crash detection) and transmits such data to CMT.
c) The Device collects audio and video files and associated data and transmits such data and content to CMT.
d) Certain data, audio, and video files will be shared with Hertz and Uber, as described in the DriveScape Privacy Policy (located at ___________) and the other privacy policies consented to by Driver when renting the vehicle from Hertz.
e) There is no mobile app for the management of the DriveScape Service.
Connectivity.The Device uses cellular connectivity to transmit data and files to the CMT backend web service provided as part of the DriveScape Service.
Content.The Device provides features that record, and allow the sharing of video or audio files (Content). The operation of this feature is described in the DriveScape technical documentation. Driver is solely responsible for all Content. Neither CMT nor the DriveScape Service monitor, filter or approve any Content. CMT is not responsible for the appropriateness, accuracy, usefulness, safety, or intellectual property rights of or relating to any Content.
Compliance and Responsibilities regarding Privacy of Videos and Audio Recordings. Privacy and other laws applicable in Driver’s jurisdiction may impose certain responsibilities on the Driver and its use of the DriveScape Service. The Driver is responsible (and not CMT) to ensure that it complies with any applicable laws when using the DriveScape Service, including without limitation:
a) any laws or regulations relating to the recording or sharing of video or audio content,
b) any laws or regulations requiring that notice be provided to, or that consent be obtained from, third parties with respect to Driver’s use of the DriveScape Service (for example, laws or regulations requiring you to display appropriate signage advising others that an audio/visual recording is taking place), and
c) any laws or regulations requiring that installation of any product which takes visual or audio recordings be installed at such an angle that it does not take any recordings beyond certain boundaries.

b) Driver agrees that portions of the firmware, including but not limited to the source code and the specific design and structure of individual modules or programs, constitute or contain trade secrets of CMT and its licensors. Driver may not remove any firmware from the device or use it without the Device.
c) Driver assumes all risk of loss to the Device and must return the Device with the vehicle to Hertz.
3. DISCLAIMER.
THE CRASH DETECTION FEATURE IS NOT AN EMERGENCY SERVICE PROVIDER AND DOES NOT REPLACE CONTACTING EMERGENCY SERVICES, AS THIS SERVICE IS AN ADDITIONAL SAFETY SERVICE PROVIDED BY PRIVATE PARTIES. NO CRASH DETECTION SYSTEM CAN ACCURATELY DETECT ALL SIGNIFICANT CRASHES, AS THE DETECTION TECHNOLOGY DEPENDS ON TELEMATICS INDUSTRY STANDARDS. THE CRASH FEATURE WILL NOT TRIGGER ON ALL CRASHES. THE CRASH FEATURE MAY NOT OPERATE IF THERE IS NO OR A WEAK CELLULAR SIGNAL, IF THE DEVICE IS LOOSE, IF THE DEVICE IS POWERED OFF, OR IF THE DEVICE HAS INSUFFICIENT BATTERY ENERGY. THE DRIVESCAPE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED AS IS WITH ALL FAULTS. CMT DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. DRIVER UNDERSTANDS THAT THE DRIVESCAPE SERVICE MAY NOT BE ERROR-FREE AND USE MAY BE INTERRUPTED.
