Services for 24-hour monitoring service
Unless any alternative dispute resolution procedure is agreed between the Parties, the Parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of England and Wales in respect of any dispute which may arise out of or under this Agreement.
The Monitoring Centre will answer all calls and requests from the SOS Pendant 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year, providing the User (you) adheres to the Terms set out in the Agreement.
The UK Monitoring Centre is a regulated TSA-TEC, Certified Cat-1 Receiving Centre and will reasonably endeavour to answer 99.99% of all alarm activations within 60 seconds, including automated test calls. In the unlikely event that the
Monitoring Centre is unable to function, alternative arrangements will be put in place as quickly as possible to minimise any delay in answering calls.
The Monitoring Centre when receiving a call for assistance will contact either the dedicated Next of Kin, Doctor or the Emergency Services, as is deemed appropriate to the situation.
When registering a new service, it is the responsibility of the User (you) to ensure all information we require is correct. Failure to provide all such information may lead to the suspension or termination of the account.
The User (you) understands that the purpose of Tele-Care is to support the User (you) in or away from your home, reducing the risks of independent living, however it cannot eliminate risks completely. Reasonable care will be taken to ensure that all alerts are handled correctly. Sensors do occasionally give false alerts and may fail to respond to a valid event: It is important to test the alarm regularly.
The facility of the SOS Pendant is intended for use only in situations where the User (you) requires immediate assistance.
The User (you) is responsible for all activities which occur on the account and should the User (you) suspect a security breach with the SOS Pendant, the User (you) must inform Lifeline365 immediately.
