THIS AGREEMENT LIMITS OUR LIABILITY. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING.
Company is sometimes referred to as "we," "us" or "our". Subscriber is sometimes referred to as "you" or "your." The "Equipment" refers to the personal response console, personal transmitter(s) and any other accessories or devices you purchase from us, including any lock box, if applicable. "Premises" refers to Subscriber’s address. “Medical Alert Services” means the Monitoring Services and Location Based Services (as such terms are defined in this Agreement). “Application” means the mobile application that we may make available to you for use in connection with the Medical Alert Services, subject to the terms of this Agreement. “Dealer” is any home healthcare dealer that may deliver and setup Equipment and/or Medical Alert Services for the Subscriber.
Not a Substitute for 911. THE EQUIPMENT AND MEDICAL ALERT SERVICES ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR 911. IF YOU NEED HELP AND ARE ABLE TO DIAL 911, YOU SHOULD DO SO.
Term and Renewal; Termination. Unless you have agreed to a different term on the Portal (as defined below) or via the App, the term of this Agreement is month-to-month. You or we may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing thirty (30) days written notice. Our obligation to provide service shall terminate automatically as of thirtieth (30th) day following the date of such notice (the “Services Termination Date”). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Company shall refund Subscriber any amounts pre-paid for Monitoring Services not provided following the Service Termination Date. We may terminate this Agreement for breach (including your failure to pay any amounts due hereunder) following ten (10) days written notice. Your obligations under this Agreement shall survive the cancellation or non-renewal of this Agreement by you or Company for any or no reason.
Payment. You authorize Company to charge the credit card on file or debit the checking account for payment of the Monitoring Service Fee (as indicated above). Payment is due as of the Effective Date. Company shall provide a written billing statement upon request. The Monitoring Service Fee may be paid in advance for a period of up to twelve (12) months to ensure that the Monitoring Service Fee shall not increase during such time period. Otherwise, Company may increase the Monitoring Service Fee at any time following such initial twelve (12)-month period .
Use Limitations. YOU MAY USE THE EQUIPMENT (AND RECEIVE THE MEDICAL ALERT SERVICES) ONLY WHEN THE EQUIPMENT IS LOCATED IN ONE OF THE 50 UNITED STATES, THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND PUERTO RICO. TO USE THE EQUIPMENT AND MONITORING SERVICES, THE EQUIPMENT MUST BE REGISTERED AT THE PORTAL (AS DEFINED BELOW). THERE MAY BE OTHER LIMITATIONS. (FOR EXAMPLE, THE INSTALLATION AND USE REQUIREMENTS BELOW.)
Monitoring Services. Monitoring Services means that monitoring service personnel (the “Operators”) at our authorized monitoring center (the “Monitoring Center”) will alert the persons, entities or agencies you have identified via the Portal or the App (the “Responders”) after the Monitoring Center receives data or other communication from the Equipment reporting conditions that require assistance (a “Call”). After the Monitoring Center receives a Call, but before alerting any Responders, the Operators may, in their sole discretion, (a) attempt to verify the need to alert Responders; and (b) based on information received by the Operator, decide not to alert Responders of a Call or advise Responders to disregard a Call. You also understand and agree that you may designate a 911 center or communications center (“Public Responder”) as the primary Responder, and you assume all liability should one of them not be selected as the primary Responder. If we are unable to notify your primary Responders or receive an alarm message and are unable to contact you, we may notify any Public Responder in our discretion. We will not be obligated to provide the Monitoring Services if you are late in making any payment due.
You Must Return Any Equipment We Own. This Section applies unless you purchase the Equipment from us or our authorized distributors.
We own the Equipment and you must (i) use the Equipment in accordance with any user manuals and instructions provided by Company, and (ii) return the Equipment to us undamaged and in good operating condition immediately after the Termination Date.
You agree not to tamper with, remove or interfere with the Equipment, or attach to it any equipment not provided by Company. The Equipment shall remain in the same location as installed, and you are responsible for any costs (including repair and/or replacement) resulting from any painting, alteration or damage other than ordinary wear and tear.
If you do not return the Equipment as required by this paragraph, or the Equipment you return is damaged or not in good operating condition, you must pay us for the Equipment at Company’s then-existing published rates as the agreed upon cost of replacing the Equipment. You authorize us to charge the credit card or bank account on file for these charges. You alone bear the risk of loss if the Equipment is destroyed, damaged or not delivered to Company. You must, at your sole cost and expense, (a) ship the Equipment in its original packaging; (b) insure the shipment of the Equipment at the Equipment’s agreed upon replacement cost; (c) use a carrier that provides tracking information for delivery of the Equipment; and (d) comply with Company’s other reasonable requirements respecting the return of the Equipment.
The Equipment May Not Always Work. The Equipment uses a third-party wireless telephone network (the “Network”) to transmit and receive data and other communications. You acknowledge and understand that the use of cellular-based and/or mobile solutions includes additional risks associated with the quality and reliability of cellular signals, cellular service and GPS or other location services data. In particular, if the Equipment is not connected to the Network or the Network is not available or not properly functioning for any reason, we will not receive data or other communications and will not be able to provide Monitoring Service. The Network may not be available if the Equipment is out of range or because of certain conditions such as topography, buildings or the weather. Governmental authorities limit the power that certain devices can use to transmit data and such limitations can adversely affect a device’s ability to transmit data. You are solely responsible to ensure the Equipment system has sufficient battery charge and cellular signal to transmit information.
Fall Detection. If your Equipment includes a fall detection device, the device may not detect all falls and may activate when you do not fall. In addition, please always keep in mind that the Equipment must have sufficient battery charge and cellular signal for fall detection devices to work properly. You should always push your help button when you require assistance and you should not rely exclusively on a fall detection device. This Section 7, along with Section 6 above, describe the limitations of the devices (the “Limitations”).
Location Based Services. The Equipment may use technology to permit third parties, including the Monitoring Center, to determine where you are (the “Location Based Services”). The accuracy of the Location Based Services is limited, and the Company, the Operators, the Monitoring Center, the Responders or others may not be able to identify your location or the location of the Equipment precisely or at all. You authorize the Company to collect location-based information. We will only share your location-based information with the Operators, the Monitoring Center, the Responders, the Dealers or any other person or entity you may designate or as otherwise set forth in our Privacy Policy, https://www.aloecare.com/privacy.
Dashboard Services. If you are contracted with or affiliated with a Dealer, you acknowledge that your Dealer may have access to a dashboard of summary information regarding your usage of Equipment or Medical Alert Services in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
