These Stelo App Terms of Use (these “App Terms of Use”) are a legal contract between DEXCOM, INC. (“we”, “us” or “DexCom”) and you and govern your use of DexCom’s Stelo App and Stelo Products (as defined below).
PLEASE READ THESE APP TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING ANY STELO PRODUCTS, INCLUDING THE DATA SERVICES, AS THESE APP TERMS OF USE AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. BY USING ANY STELO PRODUCTS, AND BY ACCEPTING THESE APP TERMS OF USE, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT (A) YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD AND ACCEPT THESE APP TERMS OF USE, AND (B) YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AUTHORITY, AND LEGAL CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO THESE APP TERMS OF USE AND TO USE STELO PRODUCTS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THESE APP TERMS OF USE OR IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE LEGAL CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO THESE APP TERMS OF USE (I.E., IF YOU ARE NOT OF SUFFICIENT AGE IN YOUR JURISDICTION OF RESIDENCE AND MENTAL CAPACITY OR IF YOU ARE OTHERWISE NOT ENTITLED TO BE LEGALLY BOUND IN CONTRACT), YOU MAY NOT USE ANY STELO PRODUCTS.
NOTE: THESE APP TERMS OF USE CONTAIN A DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION PROVISION, INCLUDING CLASS ACTION WAIVER, THAT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THESE APP TERMS OF USE AND WITH RESPECT TO DISPUTES YOU MAY HAVE WITH DEXCOM. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION, BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER AS PROVIDED BELOW.
1. SCOPE OF THESE App TerMS of use.
1.1 Applicability. These App Terms of Use set forth the legally binding terms and conditions for your use of (a) DexCom’s Stelo products, sensors, devices, equipment, accessories or other hardware (collectively, the “Stelo Devices”), whether purchased by you through the DexCom e-commerce store (the “DexCom Store”) located on the DexCom website relating to Stelo Products (the “Stelo Website”), (b) data services made available by DexCom and our affiliates through the Stelo App (as defined below) that provide and permit the access, collection, storage, processing, analysis and/or transmission of data generated by your use of Stelo Devices (collectively, the “Data Services”), and (c) access to and use of the Stelo mobile application that we make available for download or access at our DexCom Store, at the Apple® App Store, or at other third party provider applications stores that we indicate (the “Stelo App”, and collectively with the Stelo Devices and Data Services, the “Stelo Products”).
1.2 Changes. Please note that we may change these App Terms of Use at any time. We will notify you of such modifications by any reasonable means, including by posting the modifications on the applicable service (provided that, for material modifications, we will seek to supplement such notice by email, an in-service pop-up message, or other prominent notice within the service, or other means), and it will be up to you to review and agree to these App Terms of Use and related terms and policies. If you object to any such modifications, your sole recourse shall be to cease using the Stelo Products. Continued use of the Stelo Products following notice of any such modifications indicates you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the modifications.
1.3 Data Services. Our Data Services are intended to allow you to use the data generated by, or created in connection with the use of, your Stelo Devices (“User Data”) for which the Data Services are compatible to deliver to you the glucose readings from your Stelo Products. Use of our Data Services requires an internet-enabled smart device. Data Services receive User Data from the Stelo App that is downloaded to your smart device. Data Services process User Data applying proprietary methodologies, provide data, and where applicable, provide reports, to you. Data Services may also permit you to share User Data, reports, and other information relating to you. You may provide, or direct the Data Services to provide, such data and reports to others as you determine at your own responsibility.
You acknowledge and agree that Data Services are not a substitute for regular monitoring and medical care and should not be used to change your treatment plan or other instructions given to you by your treating clinician without your treating clinician’s review and approval, and that you will ensure that all appropriate treatment, attention and efforts are made by and for your benefit to maintain your health and wellness. Our collection, storage and transmission of User Data and any other information that you provide to DexCom through the Stelo Products is governed by our Privacy Policy available here (the “Privacy Policy”).
1.4 Stelo App. We may provide the Stelo App for your use on your smart devices in connection with your use of the Stelo Products. The Stelo App may provide stand-alone functionality, or may be used in connection with Stelo Devices and Data Services, or both. Standard carrier data charges may apply to your use of the Stelo App.
The following additional terms and conditions apply with respect to any version of the Stelo App that we provide to you designed for use on an Apple iOS-powered Mobile Device (an “iOS App”):
- You acknowledge that these App Terms of Use are between you and us only, and not with Apple, Inc. ("Apple").
- Your use of our iOS App must comply with Apple's then-current and applicable App Store or iOS App terms of use, terms of service, or other applicable agreements or terms and conditions.
- We, and not Apple, are solely responsible for our iOS App and the services and content available thereon. You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance and support services with respect to our iOS App. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to our iOS App.
- You agree that we, and not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to our iOS App or your possession and/or use of our iOS App, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the iOS App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation, and all such claims are governed solely by these App Terms of Use and any law applicable to us as provider of the iOS App.
- You agree that we, and not Apple, shall be responsible, to the extent required by these App Terms of Use, for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any third-party intellectual property infringement claim related to our iOS App or your possession and use of our iOS App.
- You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- You agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms of agreement when using our iOS App (e.g., you must not be in violation of your wireless data service terms of agreement when using the iOS App).
- The parties agree that Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries to these App Terms of Use as they relate to your license of our iOS App. Upon your acceptance of these App Terms of Use, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these App Terms of Use against you as they relate to your license of the iOS App as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
The following additional terms and conditions apply with respect to any version of the Stelo App that we provide to you designed for use on an Android-powered Mobile Device (an “Android App”):
- You acknowledge that these App Terms of Use are between you and us only, and not with Google, Inc. (“Google”).
- Your use of our Android App must comply with Google’s then-current and applicable Android Market and/or Android App terms of use, terms of service, or other applicable agreements or terms and conditions.
- Google is only a provider of the Android Market where you obtained the Android App. We, and not Google, are solely responsible for our Android App and the services and content available thereon. Google has no obligation or liability to you with respect to our Android App or these App Terms of Use.
- You acknowledge and agree that Google is a third-party beneficiary to these App Terms of Use as they relate to our Android App.
The Stelo App runs on specific versions of third party operating systems and browser software for your computer or smart device (“Platform Software”). When the third party provider issues an update to Platform Software, we will require additional time to provide a compatible update to the Stelo App. If you update Platform Software prior to our making available an appropriate update to the Stelo App, you may no longer be able to use the Stelo App you have been using, or the Stelo App may not properly function. We may determine not to provide a compatible update to the Stelo App. Therefore, before you update Platform Software, you should first check the applicable location where you originally downloaded the Stelo App to determine if an update to the Stelo App or Data Service is needed. We may automatically download and install updates to or upgrades of the Stelo App from time to time, and you agree and consent to receive such updates and upgrades (and permit us to deliver these updates and upgrades) as part of your use of the Stelo App. You acknowledge that we may from time to time issue upgraded versions of the Stelo App, and may automatically electronically upgrade the version of the Stelo App that you are using on your Mobile Device. You agree and acknowledge that these App Terms of Use will apply to all such updates and upgrades.
The Data Services and/or Stelo App will archive and store the data generated by the applicable Stelo Device (which archival and storage is governed by the Privacy Policy). As a result, such Stelo Devices, Data Services and Stelo App must be used only with the associated User Account. Failure to do so may (1) cause the applicable Stelo Device, Data Service or Stelo App to perform improperly, or not to perform at all, (2) corrupt the User Data, or (3) cause inaccurate User Data to be associated with your use of the Stelo Products or cause the User Data to be inaccurately displayed or analyzed.
1.6 Additional Terms. The use of our Stelo Website is also subject to additional terms of use, which are available here (the “Web Terms of Use”) and incorporated herein by this reference. In the event of a conflict between these App Terms of Use and the Web Terms of Use, these App Terms of Use will govern the use of the Stelo Products.

In the event of a conflict between these App Terms of Use i) and any applicable Additional Terms, these App Terms of Use shall govern with respect to all subject matter herein including use of the Stelo Products; ii) and any other applicable Additional Terms, the other Additional Terms shall govern with respect to such particular Stelo Products, features, functions or delivery or return options.

You will protect and keep confidential all Confidential Information that is disclosed to you by DexCom, including any non-public information marked as confidential.

10. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; BINDING ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
Please Read This Provision Carefully. It Affects Your Legal Rights.
This Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver provision (this “Provision”) facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any dispute (e.g., claim or controversy), whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort – including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence – or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below) that may arise between you and us, including, without limitation, any dispute arising under these App Terms of Use; your use of the Stelo Products; or to any purchase, transaction, or other interaction with DexCom facilitated through the Stelo Website, Stelo App or DexCom Store (including, without limitation, claims relating to DexCom’s advertisements, pricing, and disclosures; email, SMS or other messages sent by DexCom; or DexCom’s collection, processing or retention of your information). For the avoidance of doubt, “dispute” will be given the broadest meaning enforceable by law and includes any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to you (such as our licensors, suppliers, dealers or third-party vendors) whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding.
This Provision provides that all disputes between you and us shall be resolved by binding arbitration because acceptance of these App Terms of Use constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. To be clear, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow these App Terms of Use and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees). You may, however, opt-out of this Provision which means you would have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). EVERYONE AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.
Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution
For all disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give us an opportunity to resolve the dispute which is first done by emailing the following information to us at [email protected]: (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your claim, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If we do not resolve the dispute within 45 days after receiving your notification, then you may pursue your dispute in arbitration. You may pursue your dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.
Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt-Out
Notwithstanding the above, you or we may choose to pursue a dispute in court and not by arbitration if: (a) The dispute qualifies for initiation in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THESE TERMS (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt-out of this Provision by emailing the following information to us at [email protected]: (1) your name; (2) your address; (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with us through arbitration. Either way, we will not take any decision you make personally. In fact, we promise that your decision to opt-out of this Provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with us. But, we do have to enforce the Opt-Out Deadline so keep in mind that any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your dispute in arbitration or small claims court.
Arbitration Procedures
If this Provision applies and the dispute is not resolved as provided above (Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution), either you or we may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration only, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration or a consolidated or representative action or arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Provision.
For arbitration before AAA, for disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply. for disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols for Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action or representative procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.
Because these App Terms of Use and the Stelo Products concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.
Arbitration Award – The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party or if required by applicable law. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA or other applicable law, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.
Location of Arbitration – you or we may initiate arbitration in either California or the federal judicial district that includes your billing address.
Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs – So long as you place a request in writing prior to commencement of the arbitration, we will pay all arbitration filing fees and AAA or JAMS hearing fees and any arbitrator’s hearing fees, costs and expenses upon your written request to the arbitrator given at or before the first evidentiary hearing in the arbitration. But, you will still be responsible for all additional fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration which include but are not limited to attorneys’ fees or expert witnesses. In addition to any fees and costs recoverable under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in good faith with us as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.
Class Action Waiver
Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action, representative action, or private attorney general action) unless both you and we specifically agree to do so in writing following initiation of the arbitration. If you choose to pursue your dispute in court by opting out of this Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver clause will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other purchaser or user of the Stelo Products or the DexCom Store can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.
No Judge or Jury in Arbitration
Arbitration does not involve a judge or jury. You understand and agree that by entering into these App Terms of Use you and we are each giving up the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, you and we might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that you would have if you went to court (e.g., the rights to both appeal and certain types of discovery) may be more limited or may also be waived.
Severability
If any clause within this Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Provision, and the remainder of this Provision will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable and the dispute will be decided by a court.
Continuation
This Provision shall survive the termination of your account with us or our affiliates and your discontinued use of Stelo Products. Notwithstanding any provision in these App Terms of Use to the contrary, we agree that if we make any change to this Provision (other than a change to the our address for providing notice under this Provision), you may reject any such change and require us to adhere to the present language in this Provision if a dispute between us arises.
To the fullest extent permissible by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless DexCom, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors and suppliers (collectively, the “DexCom Parties”) from and against all claims, losses, liabilities, expenses, damages and costs, including attorneys’ fees, arising from or relating to your use of the Stelo Products, any violation by you of these App Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, or any law, or the infringement, violation or misappropriation by you of any rights, including intellectual property rights, of any third party.
THESE APP TERMS OF USE SET OUT THE FULL EXTENT OF OUR AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING IN RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR ACCESS OR USE OF STELO PRODUCTS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, DEXCOM’S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU ON ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE STELO PRODUCTS OR THESE APP TERMS OF USE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE SUM PAID OR PAYABLE TO DEXCOM FOR THE STELO PRODUCT(S) PURCHASED BY YOU OR ON YOUR BEHALF IN THE RELEVANT TRANSACTION. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, NONE OF THE DEXCOM PARTIES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST DATA OR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM YOUR ACCESS OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, ANY STELO PRODUCTS; OR FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY PURCHASED STELO PRODUCTS; OR FOR THE CONDUCT OF DEXCOM USERS OR CONSUMERS (WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE); OR FOR ANY USER CONTENT OR ANY OTHER ACTIVITY IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF ANY STELO PRODUCTS, EVEN IF DEXCOM HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. YOU ASSUME TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR USE AND ACCESS TO ALL STELO PRODUCTS. YOUR ONLY REMEDY AGAINST DEXCOM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ALLEGED DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OR ACCESS TO ANY STELO PRODUCTS OR ANY CONTENT ON ANY OF THE FOREGOING IS TO STOP USING OR ACCESSING SUCH STELO PRODUCTS.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT THAT WE MAY NOT DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR LIMIT ITS LIABILITIES, THE SCOPE AND DURATION OF SUCH WARRANTY AND THE EXTENT OF OUR LIABILITY WILL BE THE MINIMUM PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. IF ANY PART OF THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS DETERMINED TO BE UNENFORCEABLE OR INVALID FOR ANY REASON, YOU AGREE THAT DEXCOM’S LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ENFORCEABLE BY APPLICABLE LAW.
