Terms of Use
Effective August 17, 2023
Welcome to DriverCentral!

The software drivers available through our Services are to be used only on specifically defined 3rd party platforms, currently Elan, Control4, URC, Crestron, RTI, and Q-Sys, which we refer to as “Platform Companies.” After such software drivers are purchased by the Dealer, they will be sold to the end user (the “Consumer”), which may be, but is not limited to, the owner of the home or office where the driver is deployed. The following are the terms and conditions of use ("Terms") that govern the use of our Services and DriverCentral’s other policies, including the Privacy Policy, are incorporated into these Terms by reference.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING OR ACCESSING OUR SERVICES OR MAKING ANY PURCHASE ON THE SERVICES. BY CONTINUING TO USE THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS. Certain areas of the Services may contain or require additional terms and conditions, including, if applicable, any additional product purchase terms and conditions. Access to the Services by third-party suppliers (“Developers”), and dealers who make purchases through the Services (“Dealers”) (collectively, “Users”) is governed at all times by these Terms.
We reserve the right, at our discretion, to alter or remove content or features on the Services, as well as change, modify, add, or remove portions of these Terms at any time. This may include initiating or changing fees or charges for use of the Services or portions thereof.
Any changes we make will be effective immediately upon notice, which we may provide by any means including, without limitation, posting a revised version of these Terms on the Services. Please check these Terms periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of changes to these Terms will mean you accept those changes. You can identify the most recent version of the Terms by looking at the effective date.
As long as you comply with the Terms, DriverCentral grants each account holder a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited privilege to enter and use the Services.
