By purchasing the QMedic service, You agree that You have read and understand these Terms and that You accept and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of another person who will be using the Services, you represent and warrant to QMedic that you are authorized to bind the person using the Services to these Terms, and you agree to be jointly and severally bound with the person using the Services to these Terms. If You do not agree to these Terms, You may not access or use the Services and You are instructed to stop using the PERS Equipment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this notice, Your first use of the Services shall irrevocably indicate Your agreement to these Terms.

You shall designate a municipal police or fire department, emergency personal response service, or other individual to be contacted in the event of an emergency (“Emergency Responders”). You acknowledge and agree that Your designation of Emergency Responders to QMedic is a precondition of QMedic providing the Monitoring Services. Emergency Responders are not agents or representatives of QMedic.
2.2 Monitoring Services. Provided You are in compliance with these Terms and Your PERS Equipment does not require repair or replacement, QMedic (or its Subcontractors at a designated monitoring facility) shall, upon receipt of a signal from the PERS Equipment, make reasonable efforts to notify the Emergency Responders that You require assistance (the “Monitoring Services”).
2.3 Recordings. You understand and agree that the PERS Equipment may permit two-way communication between You and QMedic or its Subcontractors, and may collect and transmit information about You (including Your location) to QMedic or its Subcontractors at a designated monitoring facility for use in providing the Services. You hereby consent to such collection and transmission of information and authorize QMedic and its Subcontractors at its designated monitoring facilities to record all telephone conversations with you. QMedic shall own such recordings.

QMedic has no control over the response times for Emergency Responders. You understand, acknowledge and agree that You may be able to reach Emergency Responders, municipal paramedic or private ambulance services, and other public safety officials by telephone, including, in many areas, by dialing 911 in addition to relying on the PERS Equipment and Monitoring Services. You hereby release QMedic, its Subcontractors and Emergency Responders from all claims, losses, damages and expenses arising from or related to any forced entry or any delayed response or failure to respond by Emergency Responders.
2.6 Interruption of Services. The PERS Equipment transmits information to QMedic over telephone or alternative communication networks that are not within QMedic’s control. IN THE EVENT THAT ANY OR ALL OF THESE NETWORK SERVICES ARE OUT OF ORDER OR DISCONNECTED, THE PERS EQUIPMENT WILL NOT OPERATE. Due to the potential for service interruption or outages involving these systems, Your connection to QMedic and its designated monitoring facilities is not guaranteed, and QMedic is not responsible for any equipment failure that prevents transmission signals or other communications from reaching QMedic’s designated monitoring facilities, and any damages that arise therefrom.
