Terms of Use

For the free access to the KPN Things Portal.

The KPN Things Portal (bèta) enables Developers of LoRaWAN solutions to use KPN LoRaWAN 6 months for free starting at the moment of registration and speed up their development. During and after this period it is possible to upgrade. Using the KPN Things Portal (bèta) and included keys, manuals and all other relevant services and materials developers have to agree with the following terms and conditions:

  1. The KPN Things Portal (bèta) can be used for all purposes during this 6 months offer as described above. After expiry of this period, the access to the KPN Things Portal beta shall be terminated automatically, unless explicitly agreed otherwise.

  2. The KPN Things Portal (bèta) is provided as-is: No agreements are made about availability, coverage, continuity or any other service level.

  3. During and at the end of this period it is possible to upgrade to the paid version of KPN Things Portal (bèta), for which separate or additional arrangements shall be agreed upon.

  4. The access to the KPN Things Portal (bèta) shall include the possibility to use LoRaWAN devices/connections. This usage is limited to a maximum of 3 LoRaWAN devices/connections in this free period.

  5. Developers may send a maximum amount of 300 uplink messages per day during this free period per device within the limits of regulatory duty cycles*. Developers shall adhere to any regulatory requirement regarding the use of the services.

  6. Developers may send at most 10% of the uplink messages as Confirmed uplink message.

  7. Usage is limited to the basic KPN LoRaWAN features, focused on getting started fast. Not all features of KPN LoRaWAN are included in this offer and KPN has the right to stop offering any feature of the KPN LoRaWAN and the KPN Things Portal beta at any time without giving reason.

  8. Integration with developer systems are conducted through same principles as the commercial KPN LoRaWAN service. This means that transition from the KPN Things Portal to the commercial KPN LoRaWAN service should be relatively easy. However, it is not guaranteed to be seamless and will require effort from the developer.

  9. As a free user of KPN Things Portal (bèta) you can use up to 3 free OTAA credentials and keys that remain your property.

  10. Any credentials, access codes, passwords KPN provides or user itself generates for access to the KPN Things Portal beta or the KPN LoRaWan, are the full responsibility of user.

KPN cannot be held liable for any abuse thereof and user indemnifies KPN for any damage as a result of such abuse.

  11. Documentation that is available in KPN Things Portal (bèta) is meant to help developers get started. The materials found in this section are provided ‘as-is’ and with best-effort without further obligations from KPN or its partners.

  12. KPN will offer no direct support for the users of the KPN Things Portal beta. All questions will be answered in our forum.

  13. Solutions with high security risk are not allowed in the Developer Portal. The Developer is responsible for the determination of such security risk.

  14. Depending on the application of the KPN LoRaWAN Service by the Developer, Developer may need to take additional security measures, such as additional protection of a LoRaWAN Device, additional security of application servers used by Developer or additional encryption of customer data.
