You can disable this feature by turning off the toggle in the GCS application (“More” → “Service list” → “Vehicle system OTA update”). In this case or if for any reason you do not install an OTA Update, software updates can be performed as usual (manually via USB stick as well as in a Genesis workshop).

No fees will apply in the case of updates related to mandatory service campaigns. Furthermore, we reserve the right to perform certain software updates exclusively at our designated dealer workshops.

We reserve the right to amend these Terms or the Services due to future economic, legal and technical developments in line with the following provisions. 13.1 Changes that are legally advantageous or neutral to you shall take effect immediately. 13.2 Further, we may only make changes to the Services that go beyond what is required to maintain conformity with the contract (e.g., updates, cf. Sec. 5) if there is a valid reason for such a change, the change does not involve additional costs for you nor changes the essence of the Services and you are informed in clear and understandable language of the change. A valid reason shall exist if the change is necessary in order to • improve access to and usability of the Services (including introducing new or enhances existing functions or functionalities), • adapt the Services to amended legal requirements, • adapt the Services to technical changes or developments in systems operated by us or third parties or to technical developments in our users' systems; • changes necessary due to important operational reasons; • changes resulting from the need to remove ambiguities, errors or clerical mistakes possibly occurring in the Terms of Use; or • changes to the contact details, names, identification numbers, electronic addresses or links provided in the Terms of Use. 13.3 In case of changes subject to Sec. 13.2 that have negative impact on your access to, cost, or the usability of the Services, you will be informed with reasonable advance notice in clear and understandable language by means of a durable medium about the features and timing of the change and your right to terminate the contract free of charge at any time; unless we provide you access to and use of the unchanged Services at no additional cost. You may also exercise your right of termination by deactivating the Services as stated in 12.2. 13.4 Otherwise, in case of all other changes to these Terms, we will notify you of the intended changes with reasonable advance notice. If you do not tell us otherwise in writing (for example by sending a letter or email) within two weeks after our notification, we will assume that you accept the changes (we will remind you of this when we inform you about the intended changes). If you tell us that you do not accept the changes during that time or otherwise, we may terminate our contract based on these Terms with effect from the date on which the changes should have applied. Please do not use our relevant Services if you do not agree with any applicable changes. 13.5 We may terminate your Services for any reason, including the elimination of certain Services, our inability to maintain any of the Services, etc. If we terminate your Services without cause, we will provide notice prior to the effective date of termination. 13.6 We may temporarily suspend your Services, or any or all of the Services, for any reason (maintenance, security threats, etc.) with commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of the suspension.
14.1 These Terms (as well as any given data protection declaration) form the contract between you and us regarding the Services and reflect our entire agreement with respect to the Services (but please note, as mentioned in Section 2.2 above, separate terms of use apply to the Genesis account). Any declarations or notifications you or we make under our contract – for example, to change the terms of our contract, or to terminate our contract – will only be effective if made in text form (for example by sending a letter or email) or as otherwise expressly set forth in these Terms. Oral statements or agreements are not sufficient. 14.2 We will only accept other or additional terms if we have explicitly accepted them in writing. 14.3 We may assign our rights and obligations under our contract with you to a third party either in full or in part, subject to applicable laws. We will notify you of the intended assignment at least four weeks in advance. If you do not agree with the assignment, you can terminate your contract with us at any time (we will remind you of this when we inform you about the intended assignment). 14.4 If any term of our contract should be found invalid, you and we agree that the other terms of our contract shall remain valid and unaffected. 14.5 Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of these Terms are unlawful in full or in part, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect. 14.6 Even if we delay the enforcement of this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you take any action that is required under these Terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in the event that you violate this contract, this will not mean that you do not have to take this action and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
