Additionally you may choose to deactivate Dynamic Pricing and set pricing manually. Any manual setting of prices, will require an active change of settings in order to revert to prices recommended by Dynamic Pricing.

7. Smart Devices
The Smart Devices is an optional feature powered by Seam which allows Users to connect, maintain, and manage smart home devices (such as smart locks, thermostats, and cameras) for their short-term vacation rentals directly via the Smoobu Platform.
- Configuration and Activation
- The User is responsible to provide all mandatory data points and manually activating the Feature individually per device per accommodation via the Platform.
- Features and fees are activated per individual device, per accommodation, rather than per User Account. By enabling Smart Devices, you authorize Smoobu to process and provide automated lock codes to guests. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Smoobu does not have permission to modify any other settings or details within your third-party device accounts.
- Billing and Payments - Connecting a device to a property triggers a specialized add-on fee to the User’s subscription.
- Fees are invoiced and payable immediately upon activation. If a valid payment method is on file, Smoobu will charge that method at the time of connection.
- Once activated, the billing cycle for the Smart Devices will align with your existing standard payment terms (e.g. Monthly or Yearly).
- Billing is applied per device. Linking multiple smart devices to a single property will result in multiple add-on fees.
- Cancellations and Refunds
- If you cancel the Feature during a yearly term, Smoobu does not offer pro-rata refunds. However, the Feature will remain available for use until the end of the current paid term.
- If you cancel the Feature during a monthly term, the Feature will remain active until the end of the current billing month and will not renew for the following term.
- Users may re-activate the Feature at any time; however, immediate billing will apply if the previous term has already expired.
- Data Rights and Regulatory Compliance (EU Data Act)
- The Smart Devices feature is a "Related Service" under the EU Data Act. Smoobu acts as a service provider facilitating device interaction via Seam. For the purposes of the Data Act, the device manufacturer or Seam (not Smoobu) is the "Data Holder" responsible for providing direct, continuous, and secure access to data generated by the device.
- By activating the Smart Devices, the User acknowledges that the devices will generate data including, but not limited to, entry/exit logs, battery status, and connectivity events. This data is processed by Seam to provide the service and by Smoobu to automate guest access.
- In accordance with the Data Act, Users have the right to access and share their device data with third parties. Requests for raw machine-generated data or direct data portability must be directed to the Data Holder (Seam or the device manufacturer). Smoobu’s obligation is limited to providing access to data "readily available" within the Smoobu Platform interface.
- Smoobu is not responsible for, and disclaims all liability regarding, the physical End Device or the failure of the Data Holder to provide data access. Smoobu shall not be liable for service interruptions caused by hardware malfunctions, firmware bugs, or API limitations of the manufacturer or Seam.
- The User (as the "End Device Owner") is responsible for providing all necessary privacy notices to guests (the "Individuals") regarding how their data is processed via the Smart Devices. The User must obtain any consents required by law to authorize the automated generation and sharing of lock codes.
8. General

- Smoobu reserves the right to expand, change or delete services or Features and to make improvements, in particular if these serve technical progress and/or appear necessary and to prevent misuse. We will only make these changes to paid services if they are reasonable for our Users or if Smoobu is obliged to do so by law.
- The User agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Smoobu, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from the Users use of these Features, including but not limited to any claims related to the Customer’s failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations and the T&C which incorporates this Annex B.
