The change to the specification of your car may affect your insurance premiums. You are responsible for informing your insurance provider of the upgrade, and the associated potential change in cost. Failure to do so may result in your insurance company refusing a claim.
The purchase of the performance upgrade is final, binding and non-refundable. Since the Polestar performance software constitutes digital content that will be delivered automatically following the purchase, you do not have any statutory right to withdraw from the purchase.
