4. Use at Your Own Risk
The Fossil Smartwatches App is for your private, non-commercial use. Your use of the Fossil Smartwatches App is solely at your own risk. Without limiting any other terms of this Agreement, we do not make any representations, warranties or promises about the accuracy, reliability or effectiveness of any of the App functions or services, including without limitation, the number of steps you’ve taken, calories burned, sleep duration, heart rate and other information. The App is intended to provide a reasonable approximation of information such as pace, steps, calories burned, distance covered, sleep duration, heart rate and other information. However, the Fossil Smartwatches App relies on the accuracy of the information you input, uses algorithms that are not necessarily perfect and is subject to other factors beyond our control. For instance while a heart rate sensor may typically provide an accurate estimate of a user’s heart rate, there are inherent limitations with the technology that may cause some of the heart rate readings to be inaccurate under certain circumstances, such as the fit of the device, the physiology of the user and the type and intensity of the activity. We do not guarantee that the information provided by the Fossil Smartwatches App is 100% accurate. The Fossil Smartwatches App will not precisely track each calorie burned or each step taken, and will not precisely report pace, distance covered or sleep. Do not rely on the information provided by the Fossil Smartwatches App for medical purposes. It is not a medical device. The Fossil Smartwatches App is not intended to provide any recommendations or treatment for any health conditions or physical status. The Fossil Smartwatches App is not designed or intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease. You should consult a medical professional before engaging in any physical activity and for any fitness or health-related recommendations or treatment. Consult your physician before using a heart rate sensor.
5. Passwords and Security
You must create an account to use the Fossil Smartwatches App. When you create an account, you agree to submit accurate and complete information and to update such information as required from time to time.

You will be asked to select a personal, non-transferable password when you create an account. If you submit a request for a lost or forgotten username or password, you may be asked to provide information that we will use to confirm your identity. You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your password-protected account and for ensuring the protection of your account information.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this Agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by individual arbitration in Dallas, Texas before a single neutral arbitrator.

The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be binding and final on all parties. The arbitrator(s) shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration. If the arbitrator(s) determine a party to be the prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the arbitrator(s) may award the prevailing party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration.
