By using the OnGuard Service, you accept and agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement in its entirety. You agree that this Agreement is enforceable like any written Agreement signed by you.

1. INTRODUCTION.

You understand and agree that:

1.1. Agreement.  As used herein, the term “Agreement” means, collectively, these OnGuard Subscriber General Terms and Conditions, (“General Terms”) the Services plan(s) to which you have subscribed (“Service Plan(s)”.

1.1.1 The Agreement period (“Term”) starts when you activate your OnGuard Service (as further described in Section 2.1 herein) and ends when you deactivate the OnGuard service via OnGuard customer support or by written or email instruction to your reseller or network operator customer care representative.

1.1.2. If this Agreement is being entered into by an Organization to use OnGuard on behalf of and for use by its employees and/or contractors, then the Organization shall enter complete and accurate registration and contact information for such employees and contractors into the OnGuard system,  upon which registration such employees and contractors shall be “Authorized Users” for purposes of this Agreement, and shall be automatically deemed to have agreed to the terms of the Agreement. Only Authorized Users with active OnGuard service registration are covered under this Agreement.

                The Organization shall: (a) ensure that all Authorized Users are: (i) made aware of the functionality of the OnGuard Services and the scope of the Services provided to them, and the limitations on such functionality and Services; (b) made aware of their obligations under this Agreement, as well as OnGuard’s limitations of liability and indemnity under this  Agreement; and (c) immediately inform Authorized Users if and when their OnGuard Services have been deactivated and that they are no longer monitored.  

1.2. Changes. OnGuard may change the General Terms for Services at any time by posting the changed General Terms to https://onguard.co/terms/. OnGuard will use reasonable efforts to notify you directly of changes, including by way of text or email over your OnGuard Service, that will materially affect the functionality of the OnGuard Services and the scope of the Services provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you accept responsibility for being fully informed of the changing content of https://onguard.co/terms/, including changes in the General Terms and the Services and in the case of an Organization, for making the occurrence of changes known to your Authorized Users. If OnGuard makes changes to the Services pursuant to Section 2 that are not acceptable to you, you may terminate the Agreement without charge by giving written notice of cancellation to OnGuard as specified  in Section 4, or within thirty (30) days after the date the unacceptable change was posted. In the event of such termination it is an Organization’s sole responsibility to immediately notify its Authorized Users of such termination. If you do not give written notice to OnGuard of such termination within thirty (30) days, you shall be deemed to have accepted the change, effective on the date of its  posting, including without limitation, on behalf of your Authorized Users, as applicable. You agree that you cannot change this Agreement and that no statement or representation (oral or written) of any sales agent, distributor, representative or employee of OnGuard made to you can change this Agreement.

1.3. Coverage. You may use your OnGuard Service anywhere there is mobile cellular coverage (subject to any applicable restrictions due to local laws, licensing requirements and regulations).

1.4. GPS  Limitations.  OnGuard  Services utilize location coordinates derived from the GPS  Satellite Constellation and possibly other available Satellite constellations such as GLONASS (the “GPS Satellites”)  in conjunction with the onboard GPS chip of any mobile device used for the OnGuard service to determine your position. The GPS Satellites’ availability is limited by the space technology and environmental conditions that affect all radio transmissions. GPS Satellite service is wireless and requires a clear line of sight toward four or more satellites in order to obtain a location fix; therefore, the Services (as defined below) are inherently subject to transmission and reception limitations caused by: (i) your location, including conditions that obstruct the line of sight between you and the GPS Satellites , including being indoors, close to tall buildings, in a parking or other open structure, or underground; (ii) the condition of the GPS Satellites and ground stations; (iii) the condition of the device being used for the OnGuard Service; and (iv) weather conditions, atmospheric conditions, magnetic interference, environmental, and other conditions beyond OnGuard’s or the GPS Satellites’ control. Services may become limited or temporarily unavailable without notice from time to time. GPS technology may require several minutes to obtain a fix, if one was not previously possible, even after clear line of sight to multiple satellites is established, therefore an accurate location fix may not be available at the time required even if outdoors. OnGuard does not own or control the GPS Satellites,  and cannot be responsible for any service interruptions or interference that are associated with those GPS Satellites. 

1.5. Cellular Network and Email Service limitations.  OnGuard does not own or control the cell phone and email service providers who send and receive email, network data transmissions, short message service (“SMS”) messages and voice calls sent to and from OnGuard Services, and messages from the OnGuard services to Emergency Contacts and is not responsible for any delays by these service providers related to these transmissions, discontinuance of service by the service providers due to payment or credit issues, signal coverage  limitations, or outages or other operational problems at these service providers. Provision of such cell phone and email service to send and receive email, other data transmissions, short message service (“SMS”) messages and voice calls sent to and from OnGuard Services is provided and subject to the agreement you have entered into directly with the provider of such services.

1.6. End User or End Users are defined in this agreement to mean both individual users of OnGuard who are a party to this Agreement, who have obtained a OnGuard Service and who have successfully entered registration and contact data and Authorized Users as defined  above.

2. SERVICE. 

 By downloading and signing into the OnGuard Service you activate your subscription to the OnGuard service. 

2.1. Deliberate or Negligent Misuse. OnGuard reserves the right to discontinue service for Negligent and deliberate misuse. Misuse may include, but is not limited to, activating unwarranted Panic alarms, unauthorized tracking of OnGuard users or other non-work related activities considered to be an infringement of the privacy of OnGuard users during their personal time.

2.2. Enterprise Administration.  An Organization must designate an administrator or administrators (“Enterprise Administrator”), who must be an employee duly authorized by the Organization, to create, modify and maintain End User registration and Contact information on behalf of its Authorized Users, including primary and secondary contact information for the End User, and other information that will form the basis of the Organization’s safety incident escalation policy.

2.3 Automatic Renewal.  So that we can manage your services effectively and to ensure seamless continuity of those services, ALL AGREEMENTS WILL RENEW AUTOMATICALLY FOR SUCCESSIVE PERIODS EQUAL TO THE CURRENT TERM until ended by either you or OnGuard.  All periods shall run to the last day of the month in which they would otherwise expire. The fees on any renewal will be at the then prevailing market rate. If you do not wish for an agreement to renew then you can cancel it easily at the end of any extension or renewal period, by giving us prior notice. NOTICE MUST BE GIVEN THROUGH THE ONGUARD SERVICE OR ON OUR WEBSITE’S CONTACT PAGE. THE NOTICE PERIODS REQUIRED ARE AS FOLLOWS: AT LEAST ONE MONTH PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE OF THE TERM.

3. TERMS, FEES AND PAYMENTS.

 “Billing Period” means the period for which you agree to prepay fees according to the agreement. A billing period can be either monthly or annually. For example if your term is 12 months but you are on a monthly billing cycle your billing period is 1 month. If you have a 3 year term but are on an annual billing cycle, your billing period is 1 year. 

“Subscription Fee” means the amount you pay for the OnGuard Service.

3.1. The Subscription Fee will remain fixed during the Subscription Term

3.2. Fee Adjustments. We determine the Subscriptions type at the end of the Billing Period by reviewing the number of Authorized users and enabled feature sets during your previous Billing period. For monthly billing periods the fee adjustments will happen at the end of each month. For annual billing periods, at the end of the period a prorated invoice based on number of subscriptions and subscription types for all subscriptions exceeding all prepaid fees will be issued if the oversubscription lasted for more than a week.

3.3. Payment by credit card. If you are paying by credit card, you authorize us to charge your credit card or bank account for all fees payable during the Subscription Term. You further authorize us to use a third party to process payments, and consent to the disclosure of your payment information to such third party.

3.4. Payment against invoice. If you are paying by invoice, we will invoice you before the beginning of the Subscription Term and each subsequent Billing Period, and other times during the Subscription Term when fees are payable. All amounts invoiced are due and payable as stated on the invoice.

3.5. Payment Information. You will keep your contact information, billing information and credit card information (where applicable) up to date. Changes may be made on your Billing Page within your OnGuard account in the Command Portal. All payment obligations are non-cancelable and all amounts paid are non-refundable. All fees are due and payable in advance throughout the Subscription Term.

3.6. Taxes. All fees are exclusive of taxes, which we will charge as applicable. You agree to pay any taxes applicable to your use of the OnGuard Service. If you are located in the European Union, all fees are exclusive of any VAT and you represent that you are registered for VAT purposes in your member state. At our request, you will provide us with the VAT registration number under which you are registered in your member state.  If you do not provide us with a VAT registration number prior to your transaction being processed, we will not issue refunds or credits for any VAT that was charged. If you are subject to GST, all fees are exclusive of GST. If you are required to deduct or withhold any tax, you must pay the amount deducted or withheld as required by law and pay us an additional amount so that we receive payment in full as if there were no deduction or withholding.

4. CANCELLATION.  Service  Plans may be canceled by deactivating user accounts by an Enterprise Administrator  requesting OnGuard in writing to cancel some or all End User accounts. It is the Organization’s sole responsibility to, and such Organization shall immediately notify any End User(s) in respect of whom it has cancelled an account. To notify OnGuard in writing, you must email your notice of cancellation to [email protected] and provide the End User’s name, address and mobile number for the OnGuard user for which you want to cancel Services. 

4.1. Changes to Services. You agree that OnGuard or its service providers (including your mobile phone service provider, or GEOS, collectively, the “Service Providers”) may make changes to the Services in order to comply with applicable laws, to maintain or improve the Services or for other business reasons, in their complete discretion, without notice to you and without liability for any changes in your ability to use OnGuard Services, including compatibility issues with the OnGuard Services, as a result of such changes.

5. DATA TRANSMISSION. 

   You acknowledge and agree that OnGuard relies on your Service Provider(s) for data transmissions, and accordingly OnGuard makes no representation as to the success of any data transmission. In addition to limitations resulting from incorrect use (e.g., next to or under an obstruction), wireless communications systems have inherent characteristics that can create dropped data transmissions or SMS messages. Dropped data transmissions, regardless of whether these are emergency signals or other data transmissions, will not be credited regardless of cause. Nor shall OnGuard be liable for any damages that may result from such dropped data transmission, including dropped or delayed Alert SMS message(s) and/or dropped or delayed emergency signals.

6. SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT; DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.

6.1. Comprehensive Service Level Agreement for OnGuard Services. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the only warranty provided in relation to OnGuard Services is the OnGuard Service Level Agreement. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from OnGuard or elsewhere, will create any warranty not expressly stated in the OnGuard Service Level Agreement

            The applicability of the above limitations and exclusions may vary from province to province, state to state and/or from country to country, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

6.2. Disclaimer of Warranty for the Services and Software. No oral or written information or advice given by any distributor, reseller or its authorized representative shall create a warranty. OnGuard shall not be responsible for any loss of data that results from the use of the Services.

12. GENERAL.

12.1.  Indemnity. To the maximum extent permitted by law, You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless OnGuard and its affiliates, from and against any and all claims, actions, suits or proceedings, as well as any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including  reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of or in connection with (i) your or, as applicable, your Authorized Users use of any OnGuard Service, the Services and any associated software, (ii) any breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (iii) any injury or death to you or, as applicable your Authorized Users, or loss of property, or (iv) any negligent, reckless or tortuous act or omission committed by you or, as applicable, your Authorized Users.

12.2.  GOVERNING LAW AND BINDING ARBITRATION. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada without giving effect to conflicts of law.  Any dispute, claim or controversy arising now or in the future under or relating in any way to this agreement or the products or services OnGuard supplies (“claim“), regardless of the nature of the cause(s) of action asserted or the relief or remedies sought, shall, to the extent possible, be settled amicably by the parties hereto. In the event of a failure to reach amicable settlement of a claim, such claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration.  Claims subject to arbitration include claims that are made as counterclaims, cross claims, third party claims, interpleaders, or otherwise. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court, and thus this provision waives any right to a jury trial or the opportunity to litigate any claims in court before either a judge or jury. This provision also means that neither you nor OnGuard will be able to pursue a claim as a class action or other representative action (such as an action in the form of a private attorney general) either in arbitration or in court, nor will you or OnGuard be able to pursue a claim as a class member in a class action or other representative action in arbitration or in court, and you and OnGuard waive any right to do so. 

This binding arbitration provision applies to any and all Claims that you have against OnGuard, its affiliates, licensees, predecessors, successors, assigns, and against all of their respective employees, agents, or assigns, or that OnGuard has against you; it also includes any and all Claims regarding the applicability of this arbitration clause or the validity of the Agreement, in whole or in part. Parties to any claims expressly agree to binding arbitration in the Province of Alberta.

Any arbitration hearing that you attend shall be held at a location, which is reasonably convenient to you and OnGuard as mutually agreed upon in writing. In the event you and OnGuard are unable to agree on a location for the arbitration hearing, a place shall  be chosen by the arbitrator or arbitration administrator. Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered in any court in Alberta, Canada having jurisdiction. This Arbitration Agreement shall survive: (i) termination or changes in the Agreement, and any similar proceeding initiated by you or on your behalf. If any portion of this Arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall nevertheless remain in force. 

12.3.  Notices. Except as specified in Sections 11 through 14, all legal notices to OnGuard must be sent to: Sens-Net Canada Ltd., 101-11127 15 St NE, Calgary, Alberta, T3K 2M4, Canada. For questions or concerns, please contact OnGuard at [email protected] or: +1-866-626-6545 (Canada) or such other contact information as may be posted on https://onguard.co/ from time to time.

12.4.  Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the General Terms and any addenda included with the General Terms) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any headings are provided for convenience only.

12.5.  No Waiver, Survival. The failure of OnGuard to exercise or enforce any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right. All rights and remedies granted to OnGuard are cumulative and not alternate. If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the parties shall substitute a valid provision that most nearly approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid or unenforceable one. Any provisions that expressly or by their nature should survive termination of this Agreement, including payment obligations, disclaimer of warranty, rights of indemnity and limitation of liability, shall survive such termination. This Agreement shall not be deemed to create any rights in favor of any third parties or any obligations of OnGuard to any third parties.

12.6.  Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations hereunder, but OnGuard may assign this Agreement and any of its rights and obligations hereunder. This Agreement inures to the benefit of and is binding on the parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns.
