After the expiry of the Trial Period, the Customer may decide whether or not to continue to use the GPS Function as part of the Additional Services arrangement.
(d) In order to activate the Pealock features, it is necessary to pair the Pealock Application with the Pealock Lock so that the Pealock Lock can communicate with the Client’s personal profile in the Pealock Application, in particular so that the Client can view any notifications from the Pealock Lock in his/her personal profile.
(e) The Client is prompted to pair the Pealock Application and the Pealock Lock immediately after launching the Pealock Application by following the instructions provided directly in the Pealock Application.
(f) One mobile device can be paired with multiple Pealock Locks using the «+» button in the Pealock Application settings.
