Product use Terms and conditions

Parties and agreement

USER: (Person/s using the MEDICAL ALARM SYSTEM)

LIVE LIFE ALARMS, INC.:  (Supplier of the LIVELIFE MOBILE ALARM PENDANT device) of 305 – 809 Manning Road NE, Calgary AB  T2E 7M9.

The parties hereto agree that:

1. Alerting people in an emergency situation
The USER of the device understands that the device is used as a first-instance, alert system to help the wearer in an emergency, when under duress or when in need of help. It is designed and supplied to simply alert the USER’S chosen family member/s or friend/s, carer/s or neighbor/s so they can quickly arrange someone to come to the USER’S aid. 911 can be included as a contact, but use of the device does not completely assure that help or protection or that emergency help will arrive within a specific time frame.

2. Limitations of device: Mobile network coverage disclaimer
The USER understands the actual mobile alarm connection depends on where they are in relation to the available 4GX, 4G or 3G mobile network coverage. USERS should be aware that LIVELIFE ALARMS uses mobile coverage maps to check on available 4GX, 4G or 3G coverage in the USER’s home when processing the USER’s order and that these maps have been created using tools that predict the likely areas of coverage, but do not guarantee that coverage.

Not every particular location within an identified coverage areas has been individually tested for coverage. This means that while the footprint of coverage outlined on the maps is generally accurate, there will be specific areas described as being within a coverage area where a USER’s mobile alarm/device will not work.

This is a common characteristic of wireless systems. For example, coverage could be degraded or non-existent in specific locations due to certain physical structures or geographic features or as a result of the device used. Physical structures which may block or inhibit coverage could include basements, lifts, underground car parks, concrete buildings, tunnels and road cuttings. Geographic features which may block or inhibit coverage could include formations such as hills and mountains or even trees.

If the USER is relying on the device for possible emergencies it is the responsibility of them to test the device before using it and relying on it and then do regular tests. LIVELIFE ALARMS does not guarantee that the device can connect to the mobile network at all times, or that a help text or help call will be received by every emergency contact at all times or within a short time frame.

3. Limitations of device: GPS Functions disclaimer
The USER understands that the GPS functions and the help text alarms the device sends out with a GPS location on Google Maps are limited to the common constraints of all GPS systems.

The device uses the built in GPS technology to fix the location of the device with an accuracy of 2 metres. In order for the GPS functions to work it requires a line-of-sight connection to satellites in the sky. For the device to receive the signal it needs to be pointed to the sky. It normally takes up to 10 minutes to receive it’s first fix (TFFF) and work out the co-ordinates of it’s exact location.

In the event that the pendant cannot receive the GPS signal it will provide it’s Bluetooth or wifi position (4GX) or its last known position only in a help text (3G). The device does not use a ‘triangulation method’ when a current GPS fix is not available. The device checks for an updated GPS location when the device detects movement in accordance with the default, power saving mode and therefore LIVELIFE ALARMS cannot guarantee that the device knows the current GPS location at all times, i.e. When the help button is activated or a ‘loc’ request is sent to it via text.

Underground carparks, lifts, concrete buildings, tunnels and other constructions can block the signal from satellites to the pendant. It is possible that if a wearer of the pendant is in a location where there is no GPS signal that there may also be no 4GX, 4G or 3G mobile signal meaning the functions of the device will not operate till the wearer moves to an unobstructed location.

4. Limitation of unlimited emergency calls and texts being available
The USER understands that the device has a SIM card installed that must be used in accordance with our Fair Use Policy and requires a small annual fee of $75 for it to perform it’s text alarm functions, it’s GPS location functions, it’s voice call functions and it’s text reply and command functions. It is the responsibility of the USER to pay this annual fee of $75 for outgoing text’s and voice calls to function. LIVELIFE ALARMS does not take responsibility for the checking or recharging of credit at any time. The USER is provided with annual reminders via email, text and letter. If the USER doesn’t pay the $75 annual fee within two months of it being due then they should not rely on the device to work as advertised.

The USER understands that the cost of recharging credit can change from time to time after the time of purchase and that the USER should make themselves aware of changes to the LIVE LIFE ALARMS unlimited emergency text and voice call rates.

5. Fair use policy

Emergency usage policy (’Fair Use’)
The LiveLife Mobile Alarm is designed to be used in an emergency and not like a communication device such as a mobile phone. Your device comes under our ‘Fair Use Policy’ which means it is to be used for help in emergency situations.

Excessive use advice
We have allocated a fair and adequate amount of voice and data to your device based on average usage patterns of thousands of customers. Voice and text usage for every device is monitored by LiveLife Alarms. Customers using the device’s ‘Side talk button’ or the ‘Location text function’ heavily will be contacted to discuss usage options. We reserve the right to apply further charges for excess use or discuss the option to move the SIM card into your name if you wish to use the ‘Side talk button’ and the ‘Location text function’ frequently. We also reserve the right to disable these two functions if used excessively (we would not do this before discussing with you).
