Print version of the GTC (pdf)
A. Scope of Application, Identity of the Provider
These General Terms and Conditions for Mercedes me connect information and telematics services and the on-demand features for Mercedes-Benz vehicles (collectively referred to as “Digital Extras”) of Mercedes-Benz Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (hereinafter referred to as "Provider") apply to the purchase of the rights to use Digital Extras via the Mercedes me Store.
B. Conclusion of a Contract when Ordering Digital Extras; Activation
- By completing the ordering process in the Mercedes me Store, the Customer makes the Provider a legally binding offer to enter into a contract.
- The Provider will confirm its receipt of the order by sending the order confirmation to the Customer. The order confirmation is sent merely as a notice to the Customer about the receipt of the Customer’s offer and will not yet lead to the creation of a contract, i.e. it will not be considered as an acceptance of the Customer’s offer. The General Terms and Conditions and all legal texts applicable to the order are also attached to order confirmation. The Customer will receive the order confirmation via his/her chosen channel of communication, either directly to his/her email address or in the “My messages” inbox of the Mercedes me user account, along with a text to his/her mobile phone number provided to the Provider.
- The contract for the Digital Extras shall be created upon acceptance by the Provider, by issuance of an invoice to the Customer.
- After the Customer has successfully made payment for the order, the Provider will activate the Digital Extras. Permanent activation takes place for certain Digital Extras. To enable full use the Digital Extras, further steps may be required by the Customer (e.g. connection of the vehicle to the vehicle back-end infrastructure after starting the engine).
C. Right of Cancellation, Effects of Cancellation

E. Payment
- The individual steps and options for payment are explained and described during the ordering process in the Mercedes me Store.
- Payment for the Digital Extras is always due in advance.
F. Right of Use/Term, Conditions of Use, Termination
- There are Digital Extras which the Customer can activate for a certain period, and Digital Extras that are permanently enabled without a fixed term. All Digital Extras are vehicle-specific and can only be activated or enabled for the selected vehicle.
- For the entire term of an activated Digital Extras, the Customer must possess a Mercedes me user account and a vehicle paired to it, and must have given consent to the "Terms of use for Mercedes me connect Services" of the Provider in latest applicable version. If the Customer deletes his/her Mercedes me user account, unpair his/her vehicle, objects to the "Terms of Use for Mercedes me connect Services" of the Provider in its latest applicable version (including for good cause) or relocates his/her residence outside the respective Mercedes me connect contractual area, this shall not release him/her from his/her obligation to pay for the use of Digital Extras. In this case, there will also be no pro rata refund of payment already made.
- For Digital Extras with a limited term, the right of use will end automatically at the end of the contractual term. An extension of use is possible via the Mercedes me Store and requires a new order. The Provider is entitled to alert the Customer about the forthcoming expiration of the term either by email or via a message to the “My messages” in-box of the Mercedes me user account, along with a text to his/her mobile phone number provided to the Provider.
- Should the Provider terminate its "Terms of use for Mercedes me connect Services", or end its "Terms of use for Mercedes me connect Services" for an important reason (e.g data security, security problems at the content providers/third party providers), the Customer will receive no pro rata refund of the payment he/she has made for the relevant Digital Extras to the Provider. Should the Customer delete his/her user account, unpair the vehicle or change his/her place of residence to outside Malaysia, there is likewise no entitlement to a pro rata refund of payment already made.
- In the case of Digital Extras which are permanently activated, the Customer is entitled to permanent use for an indefinite period of time over the lifetime of the vehicle after the vehicle purchase. For the activation, the Customer must pair his/her vehicle to the Mercedes me user account for the duration of the activation. For the activation, the vehicle must be started once and a connection to the vehicle back-end infrastructure of Mercedes-Benz AG must be established. The Customer can find further information in his/her Mercedes me user account. In order to be able to check whether the Digital Extras has been activated, the vehicle regularly establishes a connection to the vehicle back-end infrastructure of Mercedes-Benz AG and transmits the vehicle identification number in the process. In addition, this connection regularly transmits information about which Digital Extras is activated in the vehicle. The permanently activated Digital Extras can continue to be used after the activation even if the vehicle is unpaired from the Mercedes me user account after the activation.
G. Availability and Transfer of Digital Extras
- If the Provider is unable to transfer the ordered Digital Extras to the Customer through no fault of its own, for example, because Mercedes-Benz AG has not transferred the Digital Extras to the Provider despite the existence of an associated contract, the Provider may cancel the contract with the Customer. If Digital Extras that have previously been paid for cannot be transferred, then the Provider must without delay promptly notify the Customer via the communication channel specified by the Customer, by email or via a message to the “My messages” inbox of the Mercedes me user account, along with a text to his/her mobile phone number provided to the Provider, and shall promptly reimburse the Customer for the payments already received for the relevant Digital Extras.
- Digital Extras that are purchased by the Customer are only valid for utilisation while the vehicle is in Malaysia. The Digital Extras shall not be operational in the event the vehicle is outside of Malaysia.
- The Digital Extras that are purchased are not transferrable to third parties.
- Force majeure and operational disruptions that occur at the Provider or Mercedes-Benz AG and temporarily prevent the Provider, through no fault of its own, from transferring the Digital Extras, will release the duty of performance during the period of defective performance/default triggered by such circumstances.
- If similar disruptions should lead to a postponement of the contractual performance for more than fourteen (14) days after the acceptance of the order, or after a missed binding transfer date, the Customer may rescind the contract. Any further rights will not be affected thereby.
