EULA for the New App

Is there a EULA to cover the change in the way the New App manages and exposes our speakers to the Cloud and Internet?

I have not knowingly agreed to a EULA that allows my speakers to:

  • Be managed from the Cloud 
  • Be accessible from the Internet

To the best of my knowledge what I have agreed to is that:

  • My speakers will communicate with the Cloud for essential maintenance tasks like registration and updates
  • Be accessible by me on my private WiFi.

This paradigm shift in the way that our speaker and data is accessed should have been clearly communicated and agreed before the New App was installed.

They sold you the speaker, they did not rent it to you. 

The speaker they sold, but read your software licence, some it was given to you under a GPL license, other sections under Sonos license.

Oh sure, no one reads EULA till an event like this happens. One assumes what is in the second part of the OP opening post, and gets blindsided by the first part, if that gets invoked and then justified by what is in the fine print of the EULA. Does that make it ok?

Looking at it from the other side, if you agree to a contract’s terms are you justified in complaining when the other party acts within the contract?
