3. Health Disclaimer (Important)

The HO smart ring and its companion app are not medical devices. All physiological monitoring results, sleep scores, stress metrics, and readiness values provided by the software are for general wellness, fitness, and daily health-management reference only. They do not constitute professional medical diagnosis or treatment advice.

If you feel unwell, please consult a qualified medical professional immediately. We assume no responsibility for any health or medical decisions you make in reliance on the software's data.

  1. All intellectual property rights in the software and related services (including but not limited to UI design, algorithm models, charts, code, and the "HO" trademark) are owned by us.
  2. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the software, or use it for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.

  2. If you breach this Agreement, maliciously damage hardware, or use the software for illegal profit, we may suspend or terminate the Services to you unilaterally and reserve the right to pursue legal remedies.
  3. Post-termination: Upon termination, your related benefits (e.g., AI deep analysis, cloud health-archive sync) will be discontinued.

6. Updates to This Agreement

  1. We may revise this Agreement from time to time. Revisions will be notified via in-app popup or announcement.

7. AI Analysis and Automated Decision-Making

The health-data analysis and reporting features (e.g., sleep-quality assessment, exercise suggestions) are generated automatically by AI algorithms. We commit to:

  1. Algorithmic transparency: AI analysis is based solely on your health data (heart rate, steps, sleep, blood oxygen, HRV, stress). We do not profile you using other personal information.
  2. Non-binding: AI results are for reference only and do not constitute medical diagnosis. You may disable cloud AI analysis in Settings at any time; local health data will continue to display normally.
  3. User control (GDPR Art. 22): You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you. You may request human review of any such decision, and you may object to automated profiling. To exercise these rights, contact service@ho-ring.com.

8. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

  1. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, as the Data Controller (Shanghai Shunpu Internet Technology Co., Ltd.) is established in Shanghai, China.
  2. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services shall first be resolved through amicable negotiation. If negotiation fails, either party may submit the dispute to the competent people's court at the Company's place of business.
  3. Consumer protection preserved: If you are a consumer residing in the EU/EEA or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer-protection laws, nothing in this Agreement deprives you of the protection afforded by the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence. In particular, EU/EEA consumers retain the right to bring proceedings in, and rely on the mandatory consumer-protection law of, their country of residence, and to lodge a complaint with their local data-protection authority (see Privacy Policy §13).
