Article 1 — Parties and Nature of the Agreement

1.1 Parties to the Agreement

This Agreement is entered into by Anker Innovations Australia Pty Ltd., trading as eufy (“we”, “us”, “our”, or “eufy”), and the individual consumer subscribing to the Basic Plan software service (“you”, “your”, or “Subscriber”).

1.2 Scope of Agreement

This Agreement exclusively governs the software services included in the Basic Plan provided via our direct-to-consumer (DTC) channels. It does not govern the sale or lease of your hardware products. The software services are classified as “services” under the ACL.

1.3 Updates and Variations

We reserve the right to amend this Agreement from time to time for reasonable commercial, operational, legal, or technical purposes (e.g., complying with regulatory changes, enhancing security, or introducing new features).

For any material changes, we will provide you with at least seven (7) days’ advance notice via email (sent to the address registered with your eufy account).

If you do not accept the modifications, you have the right to cancel your subscription and terminate this Agreement before the changes take effect. In such cases, you will receive a pro-rata refund for any prepaid but unused services. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Agreement.

1.4 Acceptance

By activating or using any feature of the Basic Plan, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the latest version of this Agreement.

Article 2 — Service Description and Limitations

3.3 Service Modifications and Price Adjustments

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue certain features of the service for compliance, security, or operational enhancement purposes.

If we unilaterally increase the subscription price or materially degrade the core functionality of the Service, we will notify you at least fourteen (14) days in advance via email.

You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.

6.2 Commercial Refund Policy

In addition to your statutory rights under the ACL, we offer the following commercial refund policy for cancellations due to a “change of mind”:

First-Time Paid Subscriber 7-Day Cooling-off Period: If you are a new user subscribing to the Basic Plan for the first time, and you cancel within the first seven (7) days of your initial paid subscription taking effect (i.e., within 7 days after your first actual payment is successfully processed, whether immediately upon subscribing or following a free trial), we will fully refund your first month’s fee. As an added courtesy, you will retain access to the Service until the end of that first paid billing cycle.
  2. Cancellations After 7 Days or Renewals: If you cancel after the initial 7-day period, or during any subsequent auto-renewal cycle, we do not offer pro-rata refunds for “change of mind”. Your cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing cycle, and you will not be billed further.

Note: This commercial policy does not limit your right to seek a refund for a major failure under the ACL.

How to Cancel:

  1. Via the eufy App (App Sidebar → Services → Basic Plan → Plan & Billing → Cancel); or
  2. By emailing eufy Customer Support at support.expert@eufy.com.

The Service is strictly for lawful, non-commercial use. eufy only provides the cloud backup service, has no control over the content you capture or save using the service, and cannot guarantee the legality, correctness, completeness, or authenticity of user content.

This service must not be used for emergency calls. Service performance depends on provider coverage, network conditions, and environmental factors.

12.8 Important Notice: 14-Day Rolling Cloud Backup Limit

The Basic Plan operates on a “Rolling 14-Day Storage” mechanism. The system retains a maximum of 14 days of footage. On day 15, the system automatically overwrites day 1’s footage.

Warning: We strongly urge you to regularly download important video clips to your personal device. Once footage is overwritten by the rolling cycle, or deleted following the cancellation of your subscription, the data is permanently destroyed and cannot be recovered.

Article 13 — Local Data Storage

13.1 Service Description

All videos are saved directly on your local device, ensuring the highest level of privacy at all times. Recorded content is visible only to you and does not rely on the cloud. You retain complete control over your data.

All videos are stored locally in an encrypted format. The system supports loop recording; when storage space is insufficient, the oldest unmarked videos will be automatically overwritten. You can export, back up, or delete any recorded content at any time.

13.3 Data Privacy

Video data is never transmitted through any remote servers or the cloud. Data transmission only occurs when you actively initiate an export or backup. We do not access, collect, or process your locally stored video content in any way. You maintain full ownership of your personal data.

13.4 Risk Warning and Disclaimer

Because data is stored entirely locally, the loss or damage of your device or a failure of the storage media may result in the permanent loss of your recorded content. We strongly recommend exporting and backing up your data regularly. To the maximum extent permitted by law, eufy assumes no liability for any data loss caused by device failure or your failure to back up data in a timely manner.

This does not prevent either party from seeking urgent interlocutory relief from a court, nor does it limit your statutory rights to lodge a complaint with fair trading authorities.
