1.4 Agreement to Test: Upon receiving the Device, you agree to charge it, and test it, and confirm that when you press the button, it makes contact with the monitoring facility or with your emergency contacts, whichever option you chose when the Device was activated.  You acknowledge that your Device can be programmed to be self-monitoring, i.e., to directly alert family, friends, and emergency contacts without a monitoring facility, or to be monitored by a monitoring facility.

2.0 Free Express Delivery in the United States (For Non-Veterans’ Administration and Government Orders): The Company will send your Device free of charge via United States Postal Service (USPS) Express Shipping. You will pay for any expedited shipping you request at the time of the transaction if the option is available in your area.

We will confirm receipt of your purchase within 24 hours if you provided your email address. We will attempt a welcome call after delivery of the Device. You will receive an email, if you have provided your email address, with details on how to track the delivery through USPS.

You must address any issues, concerns, or complaints, or any issues of fees related to insurance claims to the USPS once the Device has left the possession of the Company. We will provide a tracking number to you at the time the package is given to the USPS if you have provided us with your email. Please see the USPS policies found on their website for lost or stolen packages.

3.0 Alerting Process: The Company will provide you with a Device in good working order which you must activate by charging the Device for at least two (2) hours before using it. When you press the button on the Device, an initial alert signal will be sent to a monitoring facility if you chose the monitoring option, or to your emergency contacts if you selected self-monitoring The monitoring facility is not part of Latitude USA, LLC and is solely owned and operated by Affiliated Monitoring.

3.1 For Devices programmed to call the monitoring facility: To press the button means to alert the monitoring facility of the possible need to contact the people or entities you identified to the monitoring facility of an event that may require some kind of assistance. The monitoring facility, using the two-way talk feature of the Device, will ask you if you want first responders to respond to your emergency. You, or someone helping you, must reply. The monitoring facility may choose, in its sole and absolute discretion and without any liability, to contact or attempt to contact you as often as it deems necessary to confirm the need to alert the contacts/responders you listed. If the monitoring facility receives instructions from you to disregard the alert, it may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without any liability, call the contacts you listed, or it may not call them, or it may inform them that it had received advice from you to disregard the alert. Depending on what you chose when you purchased the Device, the monitoring facility may (1) dispatch local first responders, or (2) dispatch local first responders and then notify the three contacts you have listed, or (3) do both.

3.2 For Devices programmed for self-monitoring: To press the button means to directly alert the people or entities on your list of contacts of an event that may require some kind of assistance.

3.3 Coverage: For this process to work correctly, you must be in a geographic area within the United States of America where 4G, 4G LTW mobile network coverage is provided. You acknowledge that if you are not in such an area when attempting to use the Device, the alert signal may not be communicated to the monitoring facility, or to your contacts, even if you press the button. In such circumstances, the Company is not responsible for any failed alerts.

3.4 The Company uses AT&T mobile coverage maps to determine 4G mobile coverage in your primary residence location when processing your purchase order for the Device. Such maps predict likely areas of coverage but do not guarantee coverage. You understand that there may be certain geographic locations where the Device will not work. Structures such as elevators, tunnels, underground parking lots, concrete buildings, mountains, trees, and other structures may hinder coverage. You agree that when you are in such locations, it is your responsibility, and not the Company’s, to test the Device by pressing the button and, if necessary, to move to a location where the Device will work. The Company does not guarantee that the Device will always connect to mobile networks or that an alert will always be received at the monitoring facility.

4.0 Technology: To determine the location of the Device, your Device may use, at your option, Bluetooth, WI-FI, or a Global Positioning System. By using the Device, you understand that the Device and the alert it is designed to send are limited by the common limitations of all Global Positioning System (GPS) devices, Wi-Fi Devices and distance from the Bluetooth enabled charging base. The Device uses built-in GPS technology to fix the location of the device with a precision of 6.5 feet. To work effectively for GPS, the Device requires line-of-sight connection to GPS satellites. For communication by and to the Device, the Device must be positioned toward the sky. Typically, 10 minutes is required for the Device to receive its first location fix.

4.1 You may not create any new or derivative works from the Device nor reverse engineer it in any way.

5.0 Fair Use Policy and SIM Card: You acknowledge that the Device has an installed SIM card that you must use according to our Fair Use Policy herein. Except when you are testing the Device, you agree to use the Device only for alert events, i.e., for making and receiving communications related to emergencies. If you use the Device for non-emergencies, the Company may impose restrictions and/or charge additional fees.

5.1 You agree not to use the Device as a cellular telephone for ordinary, non- emergency communications. The Company has allocated a sufficient amount of data, and voice, and SMS access to your Device for emergency use based on average usage patterns. Voice and text usage for your Device is monitored by the Company, and if you use the “side talk button” or the “location text function” excessively or for non-emergency purposes, the Company will contact you to discuss usage options and may disable those functions or charge you additional fees. A threshold limit has been placed to bar the Device and provide it with a new mobile number. This prevents SPAM calling or texting into the Device.

5.2 (For Non-VA Customers): You acknowledge that SIM card fees are likely to change due to market conditions; therefore, the Company reserves the right to change fees, charges, and other terms. Those fees, charges and other terms may differ from those charged you on the date you purchased your Device. It is your responsibility to become aware of any such changes made to the Company’s unlimited emergency text and voice call rates. The Company has allocated credit to your SIM card for the first 12 months. It is your responsibility to recharge your SIM card every 12 months. The recharge fees will be automatically allocated to the credit card listed on your account.

6.0 Limitations of Liability: You and the Company agree that the Device is not designed or guaranteed to prevent any injury or loss. The Company does not assert nor guarantee that the Device will avert accidents, deaths, or personal injury, or property damage to you or to others. The Company is not liable for any claims made as a result of any alleged undue delay in any emergency service response nor is it liable in any manner for any damage or loss resulting therefrom.

6.1 If, notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, there should arise any claims of liability against the Company on the basis of any cause whatsoever, regardless of whether or not the claimed loss, damage, or personal injury was caused by or contributed to by the Company’s alleged negligence to any degree, or by any alleged failure to perform any obligation related to the Device, such liability shall be limited to the sum of the current price of the Device as listed on the Company’s website at the time of the alleged incident. Neither the Company nor any of its representatives shall be liable for any general, special, direct, exemplary, punitive, incidental, or consequential damages.

6.2 The Company is not liable for any form of injury, damage, or loss by persons failing to respond or failing to respond promptly to an alert, or by the nature of a response to the alert sent by the Device.
