As of writing in 2025, the current version isn't as different compared to similar agreements by other digital companies, but it cannot be ruled out whether under the current user service agreement they would still enforce the aspects of prior user service agreements and disable user accounts and applications if those were considered as breached. Since an user account and an application was/is required for continued use of the products, termination of such would effectively terminate the hardware too.

As with many other digital hardware purchases, the buyer is required to accept privacy policies and user service agreements ''after'' the sale has taken place. It is up to the seller or retailer whether the buyer can return the product if they consider the terms of software unacceptable. Additionally the buyer must potentially deal with return postage fees and extra hassle, so the company is essentially forcing the user service agreement with the cost of the hard to return product as leverage.
