Last Modified: March 12, 2024

This Subscriber Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”) applies to subscribers (“Subscriber”) of ConnectAmerica.com, LLC’s (the “Company”) Medical Alarm System (the “System”) and governs the relationship between the Company and Subscriber (each a “Party”). Subscriber and Company, on behalf of their heirs, successors and assigns, do mutually covenant and agree as follows. THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT, AS SET FORTH BELOW IN SECTION 11, REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE ANY CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST THE COMPANY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, MEANING YOU CANNOT BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE COMPANY IN COURT, OR ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE IN ARBITRATION.

  1. MONTHLY MONITORING AND OTHER CHARGES: The monthly monitoring charge, plus any applicable sales tax and the one-time, non-refundable programming fee, 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. If the Subscriber has activated the system and wishes to cancel this Agreement prior to the end of 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 and a $35.00 restocking fee. After initial 12 months of service, Company has the right annually to increase monthly charge and Subscriber agrees to pay such increase as invoiced, unless the Subscriber has purchased the price lock guarantee for the term of the 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 monitoring service and acceleration of return of equipment.
  2. MEDICAL ALARM SYSTEM:The Company agrees to furnish to Subscriber the System and to provide monitoring services according to this Agreement. 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. Subscriber also understands and agrees that cellular based solutions rely on third party services from wireless carriers such as but not limited to AT&T, 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 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. See Section 3 below regarding the Fall Detection Feature.

  1. FALL DETECTION FEATURE: In certain situations, the Fall Detection Feature of a Subscriber’s System may not detect a fall, including certain movements including, but not limited to, (i) a gradual slide, such as from a seated position, (ii) lowering oneself slowly to the ground (to brace the impact of a fall), or (iii) a fall from a height of less than 20 inches (0.5 meters).

  2. TELEPHONE COMMUNICATION ACKNOWLEDGMENT:Subscriber expressly agrees and consents that MedicalAlert / ConnectAmerica and its business associates may use any telephone number that was provided by or on behalf of Subscriber, regardless of whether it is a cell phone, commercial, or residential number, in order to provide health care, emergency, and account communications (including debt collections), regardless whether Subscriber is listed on any federal, state, or local do-not-call registry. Subscriber acknowledges and consents to any such communications, including via automated telephone dialing, text messaging, and/or pre-recorded calls or voicemails (collectively “Automated Communications”). Message or data rates may apply.

Subscriber’s consent to receive Automated Communications at any number provided by or on behalf of Subscriber is not required to receive health care services. Subscriber may opt-out of receiving Automated Communications by contacting us at the number provided in such Automated Communications. Medical Alert / ConnectAmerica will honor opt-out requests within 30 days.

This telephone communication acknowledgement applies to all past, present and future MedicalAlert / ConnectAmerica services, until revoked.

Subscriber agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including any statutory civil damages or penalties, which may be asserted against or incurred by the Company by or due to any person or entity not a Party to this Agreement, arising out of or related to the communications, including Automated Communications, described in this Section 4.

  1. 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. Subscriber further understands that if a responder is unable to enter Subscriber’s home, Subscriber authorizes the responder to break into Subscriber’s home, even if such entry will cause damage. The Subscriber does hereby release the Company, the Central Station, and any responders from any and all liability whatsoever as a result of said forcible entry.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. INTERRUPTION IN SERVICE AND TESTING OF THE EQUIPMENT:Subscriber acknowledges and understands that services are contingent upon, among other factors, connectivity to a phone line or cellular signal as applicable. Subscribers with the cellular System or a cellular Mobile Alert unit understand and agree that the use of cellular based solutions for cellular Systems and Mobile Alert device units includes risks associated with the quality and reliability of cellular signals and service, and cellular communications are affected by a number of factors outside of the Company’s control, including that cellular based solutions rely on third party services from wireless carriers such as AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon that are not controlled by the Company or its representatives. Subscribers with a System unit that connects to or plugs into a landline telephone system understand and agree that the use of telephone line based solutions for Systems includes risks associated with the quality and reliability of such phone lines and service, and are affected by a number of factors outside of the Company’s control.  The Company assumes no liability for cellular interruptions, phone line interruptions, 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.  The Subscriber further acknowledges that even if cellular based solutions work well at the time of first test, activation or installation, the Subscriber is responsible for monitoring signal strength, power and service quality on an on-going basis. The Company is not responsible for maintaining, monitoring, or testing the networks used for communication and can only provide timely and accurate response if all equipment and networks are working correctly and providing adequate signal strength. Users of cellular based solutions should test their equipment on a regular basis to identify any deterioration of network service and signal strength. The Subscriber also acknowledges and understands that there may be additional issues related to sending information from the System to the monitoring center over cellular networks beyond what is mentioned here. The Subscriber further understands that technology used for cellular communications can fail at any time and I releases the Company, its staff, employees, owners, shareholders, officers, contractors, representatives and vendors from any and all liability related to the transmission of emergency signals or communications over cellular networks.
  6. 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 or activations, the Company may suspend all service and terminate this Agreement upon giving 30 days written notice to the Subscriber.
  7. ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER:

Scope of the Arbitration Agreement.  Mindful of the high cost of legal disputes, not only in dollars but in time and energy, both the Subscriber and the Company agree that any legal dispute between the Subscriber and the Company, including but not limited to any of the Company’s parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, employees, service providers, successors, assigns, and agents, concerning or arising in any way out of this Agreement or the System shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration. The Subscriber understands and agrees that they are waiving their right to sue or go to court to assert or defend their rights. The term “dispute” means any dispute, action, claim, or other controversy between you and the Company, whether in contract, warranty, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. “Dispute” will be given the broadest possible meaning allowable under law.

Informal Dispute Resolution.  Either party asserting a dispute shall first try in good faith to resolve it by providing written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation) and allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond.  Notice shall be made by first class or registered mail (1) to the Company at Connect America.com, LLC, 816 Park Way, Broomall, PA 19008 or (2) to you at the postal address on file with the Company. Both you and the Company agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration against the other party.

How Arbitration Works.  Either party may initiate arbitration, which shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available on the AAA’s website www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879. In the event the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the dispute, the parties shall agree to, or a court shall select, another arbitration provider. Unless you and the Company agree otherwise, any arbitration hearing shall take place in the county of your residence (as determined by your billing address on file with the Company). Except for claims determined by the arbitrator to be frivolous, the Company will pay all filing, administrative, arbitrator and hearing costs and waives any rights it may have to recover an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses against you.

Waiver of Right to Bring Class Action and Representative Claims.  All arbitrations shall proceed on an individual basis. The arbitrator is empowered to resolve the dispute with the same remedies available in court. You and the Company also agree that each may bring claims against the other in arbitration only in your or their respective individual capacities and in so doing you and the Company hereby waive the right to a trial by jury, to assert or participate in any class action lawsuit or class action arbitration, any private attorney general lawsuit or private attorney general arbitration, and any joint or consolidated lawsuit or joint or consolidated arbitration of any kind. If a court decides that the limitations of this paragraph are deemed invalid or unenforceable, any putative class, private attorney general, or representative action must be brought in a court of proper jurisdiction and not in arbitration.

Governing Law and Other Terms.  This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act and other applicable federal law. To the extent state law applies to any aspect of this Arbitration Agreement, or to any disputes and claims that are covered by the Arbitration Agreement, the law of the state or country of your residence, as determined by your mailing address on file with the Company, will govern. The Company will provide notice of any material changes to this Arbitration Agreement. Except as set forth above, if any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of the Arbitration Agreement. Only the arbitrator is authorized to make determinations as to the scope, validity, or enforceability of this Agreement, including whether any dispute falls within its scope. However, the parties agree that any issue concerning the validity of the class action/representative waiver above must be decided by a court, and an arbitrator does not have authority to consider the validity of that waiver. This Arbitration Agreement survives without regard to the termination of the contract or other relationship with the Company.
