Parties and agreement
LIVELIFE ALARMS: ABN 23 603 888 991: (Supplier of the LIVELIFE MOBILE ALARM PENDANT device) of 3/163 Brighton Avenue, Toronto NSW, Australia 2283.
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 may arrange someone to come to the USER’S aid. 000 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. LIVELIFE ALARMS do not control how long an alerted party may take to respond to an alert. LIVELIFE ALARMS recommend that the alert parties chosen by the user are aware of the alarms use and are suitable for providing the assistance required to the User.
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 4G mobile network coverage. USERS should be aware that LIVELIFE ALARMS uses mobile coverage maps to check on available 4G 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.
As 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. An example of how to test the health of your alarm periodically can be found here. LIVELIFE ALARMS does not guarantee that the device can connect to the mobile network at all times, or that a help text message or help call will be received by every emergency contact at all times or within a short time frame. LIVELIFE ALARMS is not liable for any indirect or consequential loss or claims.
3. Limitations of device: GPS Functions disclaimer
The USER understands that the GPS functions and the help SMS alarms the device sends out with a GPS location on Google Maps are limited to the common constraints of all GPS systems.
The LiveLife Mobile Alarm has built-in GPS & GLONAS technology that it uses to fix the location of the pendant with an accuracy range of approximately 2 metres. In order for the GPS functions to operate it requires a line-of-sight connection to satellites in the sky. In some cases, the line-of-sight required to enable and/or operate the GPS may take a few seconds or longer (up to 10 minutes in some cases) to receive the signal and determine the co-ordinates of the device’s location. In cases where there is no available line-of-sight connection to satellites in the sky, the 4GX Live Life Alarm attempts to obtain location using wifi signal, which is a good solution for when the alarm is out of GPS range but in a relatively built up area – cities, surrounding metropolitan areas and large towns.
In the event the pendant cannot receive the GPS signal it will show its wifi position, if available. Underground carparks, lifts, concrete buildings, tunnels and other constructions can block the GPS signal from satellites to the pendant. Live Life Alarms cannot guarantee the device will be able to show its location at all times and the wearer/user must be mindful and aware of the restrictions and/or limitations of GPS.
It is possible that if a wearer of the pendant is in a location where there is no GPS signal, there may also be no available 4GX or 4G mobile signal meaning the location function of the pendant will not operate till the wearer moves to an unobstructed location. However, the automatic wifi location of the alarm will normally be shown in these circumstances rather then GPS position. The device is designed with redundancy (Bluetooth, GPS and/or wifi location) in mind with respect to obtaining location in the case of an emergency. Additionally, the automatic wifi location of the alarm will normally be shown in circumstances where GPS position is not available.
4. Limitation of prepaid credit (Prepaid SIM option) being available
The USER understands that the device has a SIM card installed that requires an amount of credit to be available 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 text command functions. While the device will call 000 even without any credit, it requires an annual fee of $75 to be paid to LIVELIFE ALARMS in order for it to perform its normal call and text functions. LIVELIFE ALARMS will send reminders that the annual fee of $75 is due via text, email, phone call or letter (or a combination). If the USER fails to pay the annual fee of $75 then LIVELIFE ALARMS will give a generous grace period before the USER risks having the SIM card in their device disabled from making normal texts and calls.
The USER understands that the cost of unlimited annual emergency calls and texts could change over time and that LIVELIFE ALARMS reserves the rights to amend the running costs of SIM cards.
5. Limitation of liability
The parties agree that the device is not designed or guaranteed to prevent any loss or injury
If, notwithstanding the terms of this agreement, there should arise any liability on the part of LIVE LIFE ALARMS as a result of any cause whatsoever, regardless of whether or not such loss, damage, or personal injury was caused by or contributed to by LIVE LIFE ALARMS’s negligence to any degree or failure to perform any obligation or strict products liability, such liability will be limited to the sum of $577.00 for the supply of the device.
LIVE LIFE ALARMS cannot guarantee in any way that the device will prevent accidents, death or personal injury to the USER or others, property damage, illegal entry or undue delay in any emergency service response from occurring and is not liable in any manner for any loss or damage resulting there from. LIVE LIFE ALARMS is not liable for any indirect or consequential loss or claims.
LIVE LIFE ALARMS is not responsible or liable for any injury, loss or damage caused by persons responding, failing to respond, or failing to respond promptly to USER’S home or other location. LIVE LIFE ALARMS is not responsible or liable for any injury, loss or damage caused in whole or in part by damage to the device while in your possession, improper installation, unreasonable use or abuse of the device, failure to provide proper maintenance or to follow the written instructions provided or failure to regularly test the device.
6. Fair use policy (Telstra managed SIM option)
Yearly recharge of your SIM card Under this SIM option we allocate the first 12 months of credit to your SIM card (adequate for emergency use). You will need to recharge/renew at 12 months with $75.00 and after each 12 month period. You do not need to check your credit. We will contact you every 12 months with instructions on how to recharge/renew.
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 Under the Telstra Managed SIM option we have allocated a fair and adequate amount of voice and data to your device based on average, emergency usage patterns of thousands of customers. Voice and text usage for every device is monitored by LIVE LIFE 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 (non-emergency) 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).
