TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

That for the considerations and covenants set forth below, ConnectAmerica.com, LLC (the "Company") and you (the "Subscriber") (each a "Party"), the Parties to this Agreement, their heirs, successors and assigns do mutually covenant and agree as follows:

 

  1. ACTIVATION FEE, MONTHLY MONITORING AND OTHER CHARGES: The Activation Fee is a one-time fee that covers system activation services. This Fee is non-refundable upon the system being shipped to the Subscriber. The Monthly Monitoring charge, plus any applicable sales tax, will begin on the day the equipment is sent. This agreement will automatically renew unless either Party gives written notice to the other Party of its intent to cancel. The Subscriber understands that there is a three-month minimum monitoring charge that is to be paid at the time of order. Once the Subscriber has received the system, if he or she wishes to cancel this agreement prior to the end of the initial three-month time period, he or she is entitled to a full refund of any unused pre-paid monitoring charges less the three-month minimum. After the initial 12 months of service, Company shall be permitted from time to time to increase the monthly charge by an amount not to exceed 10% each year and Subscriber agrees to pay such increase as invoiced, provided that if Subscriber has selected the price lock guarantee, Company shall not increase the monthly charge during the term of this agreement.  Failure to return all equipment in a satisfactory condition will result in a charge of $350. The Subscriber's account will continue to be billed at the agreed upon monthly rate until the equipment is returned in good working order. Company has the right to charge late fees if monthly monitoring fee is not paid on time. Failure to maintain payment for monthly monitoring fee will result in termination of your monitoring service.

  2. MEDICAL ALARM SYSTEM: The Company agrees to furnish to Subscriber a Medical Alarm System (the "System"), and to provide monitoring services on the terms and conditions described below. The System consists of one of the following:

    (a)     A Personal Emergency Response System unit that connects to or plugs into the Subscriber's  landline telephone system at his or her residence;  a portable push button device or wrist band device, or

    (b)     A cellular Personal Emergency Response System base unit that plugs into a standard power outlet at the Subscriber's residence; a portable push button device or wrist band device.  Subscriber must have adequate cellular coverage in the area where the System is being used. I also understand that cellular based solutions rely on third party services from wireless carriers such as but not limited to AT&T, All-Tel, Cingular, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon; or

    (c)     A cellular Mobile Alert device unit that will work either inside or outside the Subscriber's residence and that can be activated by the Subscriber to communicate a medical emergency or distress situation.  The unit contains a GPS tracking device that can be used to provide the Subscriber's location. The equipment is functional both inside and outside the Subscriber's residence. The Subscriber must have adequate AT&T cellular coverage that is used by the device in the area where the System is being used.  The equipment has GPS tracking capabilities.  The Subscriber understands that his or her physical location will be used in connection with providing the service and that authorized caregivers ("Responders")  may request the Subscriber's current location via the Company's secure web portal.  The Subscriber hereby agrees that the Company and the Central Station may provide Responders, and any other necessary third parties, as determined by the Company and the Central Station, in their reasonable discretion, with access to the Subscriber's physical location.   The Subscriber hereby releases the Company and the Central Station of all liability that may arise out of disclosure of his or her physical location to Responders and any other necessary third parties.

    (d)     The Company’s battery powered smoke detectors, transmitters, and other detection sensors are not connected to the electrical system of the Premises.  Such detection sensors require batteries to operate.  THESE BATTERY POWERED DETECTION SENSORS WILL NOT OPERATE, AND THE ALARM WILL NOT SOUND, IF THE BATTERIES ARE NOT MAINTAINED.  You are responsible for maintaining and replacing the batteries in these battery powered detection sensors, and you should regularly inspect such sensors for dirt and dust buildup and test them monthly to help maintain continued operation.  YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS WILL NOT SEND A SIGNAL TO THE CENTRAL STATION IF YOUR MEDICAL ALARM SYSTEM IS NOT OPERATIVE.  THE COMPANY STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL FOR ALL EQUIPMENT.  THE OWNER’S MANUAL CONTAINS PERMITTING REQUIREMENTS AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION.  YOU SHOULD ALSO READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS, WARNINGS AND OTHER INFORMATION ON THE EQUIPMENT ITSELF.  The deployment of home based smoke detectors in your community may require local permitting or registration and you should contact your local Fire Dept or Building Dept to inquire as to those requirements. It is your sole responsibility to comply with those permitting or registration requirements. 

    (e)      All Subscribers: 24/7 monitoring service ("Central Station Services") and any other optional third party service provided by the Company, or a designated third party provider shall be termed a "Central Station".  The Parties agree and understand that all equipment shall remain the personal property of the Company. Any accessories to the base system may not detect 100% of the intended activity.  Fall Button does not detect 100% of falls. If able, users should always push their help button when they need assistance.

  3. TELEPHONE COMMUNICATION ACKOWLEDGEMENT:  I expressly agree and consent that MedicalAlert / ConnectAmerica and its business associates may use any telephone number that was provided by me or on my behalf, regardless of whether it is a cell phone number and/or whether I may incur a charge from my phone service provider. This telephone number may be used for health care and account communications (including debt collections), which may include automated telephone dialing and/or pre-recorded calls. I understand that my consent to this use of my telephone number is not required in order to receive health care services. This telephone communication acknowledgement applies to all past, present and future MedicalAlert / ConnectAmerica services, until revoked.

  4. AUDIO LISTEN IN AND FORCIBLE ENTRY: The System includes a two-way voice transmitter that is meant to be heard, under optimal conditions, throughout most of the Subscriber's residence. In the event that the two-way audio is not clear, or the Central Station does not hear any voice or audio response, the Subscriber authorizes the Company and Central Station to follow emergency response procedures. Pursuant to these procedures, the Company will first notify 911, unless the Subscriber has previously told the Company otherwise in writing, in which case the Central Station will contact individuals in the Subscriber-provided call list in the priority order previously indicated by the Subscriber. Subscriber authorizes the Company in its sole discretion to authorize forcible entry to gain access to Subscriber's premises in the event the System emits a signal to the Central Station and the Subscriber cannot either be heard through the unit's microphone or does not answer the telephone. The Subscriber does hereby release the Company and the Central Station from any and all liability whatsoever as a result of said forcible entry.

  5. MEDICAL OR RELATED EXPENSES: In the event the Subscriber utilizes the System by sending the Central Station a signal, the Subscriber does hereby authorize the Company to seek to notify or obtain assistance. The Subscriber shall be obligated for and agrees to pay any costs and expenses incurred including, but not limited to, ambulance, physician or other medical assistance in obtaining that assistance, or whatever costs are incurred as a result of the Subscriber's use of the System.

  6. OPTION TO UPDATE VITAL MEDICAL DATA INFORMATION: At the option of the Subscriber, the Subscriber shall communicate by telephone or in writing to the Company for the purpose of verifying vital medical information to be put on file at the Central Station and updating said information, if necessary. It is the Subscriber's responsibility to update the Subscriber's vital medical information on file with the Company to be maintained at the Central Station, and to ensure the accuracy and completeness of such information. Additional medical information should be displayed on refrigerator or other accessible location

  7. AUTHORIZATION TO COMPANY: The Subscriber agrees to supply 24-hour 110 volt circuits as required to power the System, and the appropriate telephone service or any other equipment that may be deemed necessary by the Company. The Company shall not be responsible for any costs for parts and/or labor associated with adapting the Subscriber's telephone systems for use with the System. LANDLINE SYESTEM USERS: If the Subscriber shall change their telephone service to Voice Over Internet Protocol ("VOiP") or anything other than a traditional land line carrier, the Company must be notified and a test signal must be sent after conversion. The Company is not responsible for interruptions in service due to failure by any third party telephone or Internet service providers.

  8. INTERRUPTION IN SERVICE: The Company assumes no liability for delays in equipment installation, interruption of services due to strikes, riots, floods, fires, acts of God, mechanical or electrical equipment failures, or any cause beyond the control of the Company, and will not be required to supply service while said interruption may continue.

  9. MISUSES AND ABUSE OF SYSTEM: In the event the Subscriber violates any part of this Agreement, misuses or damages the equipment or the System, or causes an excessive number of false alarms, the Company may suspend all service and terminate this Agreement upon giving 30 days written notice to the Subscriber.

  10. NO WARRANTY  OR REPRESENTATION: THE COMPANY DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE SYSTEM  MAY NOT BE COMPROMISED OR CIRCUMVENTED  OR THAT THE SYSTEM WILL PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY, LOSS OF LIFE OR PROPERTY, OR DAMAGE, OR THAT THE SYSTEM WILL IN ALL CASES PROVIDE THE PROTECTION FOR WHICH  IT IS INTENDED. THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND THE SUBSCRIBER HAS NOT RELIED UPON ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY.  THE SUBSCRIBER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY AFFIRMATION OF FACT OR PROMISE MADE BY THE COMPANY OR  ITS AGENTS,  SERVANTS OR  EMPLOYEES SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CREATE AN EXPRESS WARRANTY  UNLESS INCLUDED IN THE AGREEMENT  IN WRITING.

  11.  TESTING OF THE SYSTEM: The Parties agree that the equipment is in the exclusive possession and control of the Subscriber and that it is the Subscriber's sole responsibility to test the operation of the equipment and to notify the Company, in writing, if any equipment is in need of repair or service. The Company shall not be required to service the equipment unless it has received such written notice from the Subscriber. The Subscriber further acknowledges that the System may be dependent upon the proper functioning of a battery. If the battery needs service, the Subscriber must notify the Company in writing. The Company shall have a period of 48 hours after receipt of such written notice, exclusive of weekends and holidays, within which to provide service (i.e., replace the unit, transmitter and/or battery, as required). In the event Subscriber moves the System from the location where it was originally installed, or in case any utility such as the telephone company or power supplier makes any repair or interrupts service, the Subscriber agrees to immediately notify the Company and to retest the System, as described in this Section, without delay. Subscriber agrees to TEST their system MONTHLY.

  12. RIGHT TO SUBCONTRACT CENTRAL STATION SERVICE: The Company may, in its sole discretion, subcontract for the provision of Central Station Services under this Agreement. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Agreement inure to the benefit of, and are applicable to, any third party Central Station operator (a "Central Station Subcontractor") engaged by the Company to provide this service to the Subscriber, and the Subscriber agrees to be bound to such Central Station Subcontractor with the same force and effect as this Agreement binds the Subscriber to the Company.
