1 General
1.1 HMD Global Oy, with address at Bertel Jungin aukio 9, 02600 Espoo, Finland, including its subsidiaries (“HMD”), provides the HMD Enable Pro services described under section 2.2 below (“Services”) based on the following General Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) exclusively to enterprise customers (each, a “Custom-er”). A Customer that acquires the right to use the Services directly from HMD is referred to as “Direct Customer” and a Customer that acquires the right to use the Services through one of HMD’s au-thorized resellers is referred to as an “Indirect Customer”.
1.2 Customer will adhere to these Terms and any and all applicable laws when using the Services. By registering for or using the Ser-vices, Customer unconditionally accepts these Terms. If Customer does not agree to be bound by these Terms, it may not use the Services.
1.3 Unless otherwise agreed between HMD and Customer in writing, any change to these Terms (“Change”) shall be communi-cated by HMD by e-mail at least thirty (30) days before becoming effective to (i) Direct Customers and (ii) authorized resellers that will be in charge of further communicating them to Indirect Cus-tomers.
1.4 Any document concerning the Services that modifies or com-plements these Terms is not enforceable without HMD’s prior written acceptance. Standard purchase terms or other similar doc-uments issued by Customer are not automatically applicable to the purchase of Services.
2 Services provided by HMD
2.1 HMD reserves the right to adjust the scope of the Services at any time by modifying, adding or, in rare cases, removing function-alities of the Services. Said adjustments to the scope of the Ser-vices are not considered Changes to these Terms and therefore will not be communicated to Customers as described in section 1.4. Adjustments to the scope of the Services will be deployed once they are ready. HMD may, at its discretion, use subcontrac-tors for providing the Services.
2.2 The Services consist of an enterprise mobility management (EMM) solution based on Android Enterprise capabilities that allows the enrollment, monitoring, configuration and centralized management of Customer’s devices through a management con-sole made available via the internet (“Management Console”). HMD can share upon request the minimal technical specifications devices need to fulfil in order to be enrolled.
2.3 Customer agrees that the acquisition of the Services is not contingent on the deployment of any future functionality or fea-ture, or dependent on any oral or written public representations made by HMD or any third party (including authorized resellers) regarding any future functionality or feature. HMD does not com-mit to and cannot be held responsible for providing any future functionality or feature.
2.4 The Services may include links to other websites, content and resources that are owned or provided by third parties (“Third Party Content”). When accessing such Third Party Content, Customer shall review and agree to any applicable terms of use before using such Third Party Content. Customer also agrees that HMD has no control over the Third Party Content and cannot assume any re-sponsibility for material created or published by such third parties. In addition, a link to a non-HMD site does not imply that HMD endorses the site or the products or services referenced in such third-party site.

3.1 The Services start being provided when Customer’s first device is enrolled by Customer, or by an authorized reseller or other third party that provides managed services to Customer.
3.2 Services acquired for a fixed period (“Fixed-Term Services”) will be provided for the agreed period and automatically renewed for subsequent periods of the same length as the initial term for devices that remain enrolled after the fixed period ends. Charging for each automatic renewal will follow the same logic as the initial period.
3.3 Services acquired on a monthly basis (“Open-Ended Services”) will continue being provided and charged for as such until can-celled as described below.
3.4 Cancellation of Open-Ended Services by HMD. HMD can cancel the provision of Open-Ended Services at any time by sending an e-mail at least sixty (60) days in advance to Direct Customers and authorized resellers. Authorized resellers are responsible for informing Indirect Customers accordingly.
3.5 Cancellation of Fixed-Term Services by HMD. HMD can cancel the provision of Fixed-Term Services at any time by sending an e-mail to Direct Customers and authorized resellers (which will be in charge of informing Indirect Customers accordingly) informing them that the provision of Services will not be automatically re-newed for currently-enrolled devices and no new device can be enrolled on the Services. Services will be available for each en-rolled device until the end of the period they were paid for.
3.6 Cancellation of Open-Ended Services by Customer. Customers can cancel the provision of Open Ended Services in relation to any specific device by unenrolling said device by the end of the last calendar month they want Services to be provided.

Customer shall use the Management Console to cancel the ac-counts of IT admin users who have changed roles or are no longer part of the organization, and is responsible for the unauthorized use of usernames and passwords.
