These Terms constitute a fully binding agreement between HAAS, Inc. (including its affiliates and subsidiaries, "HAAS Alert" or "We") the proprietor of all rights in and to the Service, and you.

Key points
The following key points of the Terms are highlighted here for your convenience only. These key points are not made in lieu of the full Terms and their presence in this section does not mean that they are intended to supersede or override any other terms or conditions provided by HAAS Alert. Road information prevails. The information provided by the Service is not intended to replace the information provided on the road, such as travel direction, time based restrictions, lane restrictions, road blockades, traffic signs, traffic lights, police instructions, cautious driving, etc. Always drive vigilantly according to road conditions and in accordance with traffic laws. It is strictly forbidden to send traffic updates (such as updates on road accidents and traffic congestion).

Non-continuous updates
The information provided by the Service originates from municipalities and other services. Such information is intrinsically fluctuant and may be inaccurate or incomplete. HAAS Alert does not provide any warranties to such information's credibility or reliability.

Location-based service
Some features of the Service make use of detailed location and route information, for example in the form of GPS signals and other information sent by your mobile device on which the HAAS Alert application is installed and activated. These features cannot be provided without utilizing this technology. Please note, as described in detail in the Privacy Policy. (I) HAAS Alert uses your location and route information to be able to send an alert when using the Service. HAAS Alert uses this history to offer the Service to you, to improve the quality of the Service it offers to you and to all of its users and to improve the accuracy of its alert and distance technologies. This history is associated with your account. This history is retained by HAAS Alert for a limited period of time and in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
