10. Access to Hilo Services When entering the Agreement, You are purchasing the Hilo Services that include both ((i) the Hilo Band and (ii) an Annual Hilo Subscription, providing access to the Hilo App and features for the duration of your active Subscription Term.

Annual Hilo Subscription As part of its annual subscription, Hilo offers various services and features to provide deeper insights into blood pressure data. The features and services included in the Subscription may be modified or discontinued at Hilo's discretion without prior notice. The Annual Hilo Subscription is offered through the periodic payment of Fees as part of a subscription

to our Services (“Subscription”). Subscription terms and details are displayed at the time of purchase of the Services. The provision of Services is conditional on a Subscription, with an initial term of one year. You may terminate the Agreement with a notice period of one month to the end of the initial term. Following the initial term, the Agreement shall be tacitly extended by a specific period, depending on the Subscription type. After such extension, You may terminate the Agreement. Such termination will be effective at the end of the active Subscription term. When You cancel a Subscription, You cancel only future charges for your Subscription. You will not receive a refund for the current Subscription Term you paid for, but You will continue to have full access to that Subscription until the end of that current Subscription Ter m. Cancellation does not entitle You to the refund of any previously paid Fees and you will not receive a prorated refund for the remainder of the Subscription Term. If a free trial is offered, the trial will transition to a paid Subscription at the end of the trial period unless cancelled by You before the trial ends. The specific terms of the trial, including its duration, will be displayed during activation and/or in the Offer. You are responsible for managing the Subscriptions, including cancellations and updates to billing in- formation. Subscription management is conducted through the respective platform (Apple or Google) and/or on the Hilo webshop where the purchase was made. The provisions of the Services will be rescinded if You do not pay the associated Periodic Fees in a timely manner, meaning within 30 days following the charging thereof by Hilo.
