DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
SSPS Remote is a proprietary IoT software platform that enables users to control, configure, and monitor smart hardware devices manufactured or authorised by the Company. The Services comprise:
- The SSPS Remote mobile and web application (‘App’);

- MQTT via SSPS Cloud: Cloud-based publish-subscribe messaging protocol used for remote command-and-control, subject to server availability and internet connectivity.

2.2 Physical Device Control
The Services are used to operate physical devices, including garage doors, sliding doors, gates, access control locks, and electrical appliances.

STATUTORY CONSUMER RIGHTS (EU AND BULGARIAN LAW)
| This section applies exclusively to Consumer Users resident in the European Union, including Bulgaria.

7.1 Statutory Conformity Guarantee
Pursuant to Directive 2019/771/EU on the sale of goods and Directive 2019/770/EU on digital content and digital services, as implemented in Bulgarian law (Zakon za zashchita na potrebitelite — ZZP), Consumer Users are entitled to statutory conformity guarantees. The Company warrants that:

The statutory guarantee period for hardware Devices is two (2) years from the date of delivery, as required by EU law. Nothing in these Terms limits or waives any statutory guarantee rights to which Consumer Users are entitled under mandatory EU or Bulgarian consumer protection law.
7.2 Right of Withdrawal (EU Distance Selling)
Consumer Users who purchase Devices or paid services via the App or online store are entitled to exercise their right of withdrawal within fourteen (14) calendar days of receiving the goods, pursuant to Directive 2011/83/EU and the ZZP, without providing any reason. Exceptions apply as provided under applicable law (e.g., opened software, custom-configured devices). The Company will provide a separate withdrawal form and procedure at the point of sale.
7.3 Mandatory Consumer Rights Not Excluded
For Consumer Users, nothing in these Terms shall exclude, limit, or waive any mandatory rights provided under:
- Bulgarian consumer protection law (ZZP — Zakon za zashchita na potrebitelite);
- EU consumer protection Directives as implemented in your country of residence;
- Any applicable mandatory national law that provides Consumer Users with greater protections than those set out herein.
To the extent any provision of these Terms conflicts with mandatory consumer protection law, that provision shall be of no effect as against the Consumer User, and the applicable mandatory rule shall prevail.
-
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Services are provided on an ‘as is’ and ‘as available’ basis. The Company does not make, and expressly disclaims, any warranties or representations of any kind — express, implied, statutory, or otherwise — including but not limited to:
- Implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose;
- Warranties of accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of any information provided through the Services;
- Warranties of uninterrupted, error-free, or secure operation of the Services;
- Warranties of compatibility with all third-party devices, operating systems, or networks.
| IMPORTANT — EU/BULGARIAN LAW EXCEPTIONS:
The foregoing disclaimers DO NOT apply to Consumer Users to the extent they would exclude or limit rights conferred by mandatory EU or Bulgarian consumer protection law, including statutory conformity guarantees under Directive 2019/771/EU and Directive 2019/770/EU.
These disclaimers also DO NOT limit the Company’s liability for death or personal injury caused by the Company’s negligence, for fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded by law. |

- USER ASSUMPTION OF RISK
By using the Services, you acknowledge and expressly accept the following:
- The operation of physical automated devices — including but not limited to garage doors, sliding gates, access control locks, and electrical appliances — by means of wireless software control carries inherent operational, mechanical, and safety risks.

- Your violation of any applicable law or regulation;
- Your misuse or improper use of the Services;
- Any claim by a third party arising from damage or injury caused by Devices under your control;
