A Site may include our sites entered via tabs or portals accessible via LinkedIn®, Facebook® or YouTube® or other social sharing sites. These Terms do not alter the terms of any other agreement that you may have with us or our affiliates.

If you do not accept these Terms , then you may not use the Mower or associated Services and you may return the Mower in accordance with the applicable return policy. You may need your own Navimow account to register and use the App, and you may be required to be logged in to the account to access the App. In addition to these terms, your use of the Mower is subject to any applicable user manual, policies or other instructions for use of the specific Mower notified to the purchaser of the Mower at purchase, on the Mower itself, or in or on its packaging as well as  on the Site or in the App (collectively, “Mower Instructions”).  There may be different models of the Mower with differing Mower Instructions.  These Mower Instructions may also impact your ability to use the associated App with the Mower.


Our Mowers and Services are for use by adults only and we assume no responsibility for unauthorized use by minors. Before mastering use of the Mower, you need to practice using it and observe its operations. Neither we nor our affiliates is responsible for injuries (to yourself or others), death, disability or damage caused by the operator’s (or any other person’s) use or misuse of a Mower, inexperience, distracted operation of the Mower, and/or failure to follow the Mower Instructions.
