User Terms for OnStar Guardian

Last Updated March 2, 2023

This software application (the “Application”) and the services made available to you through the Application (the “Application Services”) are provided by General Motors Holdings LLC (when offered in the United States) or General Motors of Canada Company (when offered in Canada) and their respective affiliates (“GM” or “we” or “us”) via the authorized Apple or Android smartphone (“Device”) that you own or are authorized to use. The Application Services may include detection of a crash event in a vehicle in which you are traveling. The Application Services may also include the ability to initiate a call to OnStar Advisors, receive roadside assistance services, and view location and other information of the Devices owned by or authorized to be used by the members of your “My Family” group. The Application is available to OnStar Members with select OnStar service plans, but an OnStar service plan is not required to create an Application account or to use the Application Service.

 

These terms (“Terms”) govern your use of and access to the Application Services on your Device and are in addition to any terms you may have accepted for OnStar and connected services. Please review these Terms carefully.

IMPORTANT: THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT, AS FURTHER SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH I, BELOW, REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES. THIS MEANS THAT YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR IN CLASS ACTIONS OF ANY KIND.

When you click to accept the following terms or when you access or use the Application Services on your Device, you agree to the following Terms.

A.    USE OF APPLICATION SERVICES

 

1.     You may only use the Application Services when it is safe to do so, in compliance with the law and these Terms, and you may not use the Application Services offered through your Device while driving.

 

2.     The Application Services are subject to limitations, including:

 

a.     The Application Services are solely intended for use in light passenger vehicles (cars and trucks) and motorcycles. A “motorcycle” is a two-wheeled motorized vehicle with a saddle or seat that can attain speeds greater than 30 mph on a level surface and can be operated legally on public roads.

 

b.     The Application will not detect all crashes (for example, if your vehicle is stationary for an extended period of time). The vehicle must be moving at a sufficient speed (approximately 5 miles per hour) for a certain amount of time (approximately 10 seconds) before it can begin to detect a crash event. If a crash is detected, the Application can connect a call from an OnStar Advisor automatically on Android smartphones only; all other Devices require you to answer the call.

 

c.      The Application may not connect to an OnStar Advisor in all instances. Dial “911” in case of an emergency.

 

d.     A cellular signal, GPS signal, and sufficient battery life on your Device are required for the Application Services to operate properly.

 

e.     You must provide all requested Application and Device permissions for the Application Services to operate properly.

 

f.      The Application Services use and rely upon your Device’s sensors and functionality, including GPS signal and cellular signal, and are subject to any inaccuracy and other limitations thereof. 

 

g.     Updates made to your Device may impact the ability of the Application to provide the Application Services.

 

h.     Once you log into the Application, it will continue to run in your Device’s foreground or background until you log out, even if you close the Application.

 

i.       Failure to download available updates to the Application may limit access to the Application Services.

 

j.       Application Services may be limited if the Application is archived in your Device’s operating system.

 

3.     IF YOU PROVIDE AN EMERGENCY CONTACT, YOU CONSENT TO US CONTACTING THAT PERSON ON YOUR BEHALF AND PROVIDING THAT PERSON WITH INFORMATION ABOUT YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPLICATION SERVICES, INCLUDING YOUR DEVICE’S LOCATION. YOU MUST ALSO OBTAIN PRIOR CONSENT FROM THAT PERSON BEFORE PROVIDING THAT EMERGENCY CONTACT. YOU MUST ALSO NOTIFY YOUR SELECTED EMERGENCY CONTACT THAT YOU HAVE SHARED HIS/HER/THEIR PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH US AND WE WILL USE THAT INFORMATION TO CONTACT HIM/HER/THEM ON YOUR BEHALF.

 

4.     Roadside assistance services are provided by Allstate Roadside Services for light passenger vehicles (cars and trucks) and motorcycles only. Limitations on the number and type of roadside assistance service that may be received apply.

 

5.     We may collect, use, and share information about you, including the location of your Device as described in the Privacy Statement for OnStar Guardian available at: https://www.onstar.com/us/en/privacy_statement/ (when offered in the United States) or https://static-content.onstar.com/OnStarMobilePrivacy/OnStarMobilePrivacy.htm (when offered in Canada).

8.     You are responsible for ensuring that all members of your “My Family” group know that anyone with access to the Application Services through your Device (or through the Device of another member of your “My Family” group) may be able to access information about their Device, including the location of their Device. You can disable sharing of your Device location to the other members of your “My Family” group in the Application’s settings, but if you disable sharing of your Device location in your Device settings, some of the Application Services will not function properly.

 

9.     By using the Application Services, you affirm that you are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations, and warranties set forth in these Terms, and to abide by and comply with these Terms.

You will use the Application and Application Services only for your personal, noncommercial use.

 

12.  You will not copy, reproduce, distribute, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, remove, alter, circumvent, or otherwise tamper with any security technology, convert to any use not authorized by us or claim ownership in the Application Services or our or any other party’s information or materials associated with the Application Services;

14.  In the event that you or any third party authorized by you uses software that accesses, collects, or analyzes data, interfaces, or services (“Tools”) from or related to the Application or the Application Services, GM reserves the right to audit and review the underlying materials and source code for such Tools to fully understand how such Tools operate, including to assess any potential interference such Tools may present to the integrity and security of the Application, the Application Service or any Vehicle, and to determine whether such Tools conduct activities not authorized by these Terms and the license granted to you hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, you grant, and grant on behalf of any third party authorized by you to use Tools on the Application or the Application Services, GM a nonexclusive, fully-paid, irrevocable, royalty-free license to reverse engineer, dissemble, decompile, access, use and otherwise exploit the Tools, without liability to GM and without waiving any of GM’s rights or remedies. Furthermore, GM and its agents reserve the right to obtain the Tools on GM’s own behalf, with any downloading, installation and use of the Tools to be governed exclusively by these Terms with respect to the collection or analysis of data from the Application or the Application Services irrespective of any terms and conditions generally applicable to use of the Tools;

B.     THIRD PARTY SERVICES

 

1.     Your use of the Application Services may involve services made available to you by third parties, such as the wireless services provided for your Device by your wireless carrier, and map and data services. Use of services made available by third parties may involve you sharing your location, search query, and other data with these third parties. You can disable sharing of your Device location in your Device settings. You may also receive promotions and offers from participating third party retailers through the Application Services.
