Coverage begins from the date of purchase regardless of when the Device or Accessory is actually received and continues until the end of the Coverage Term or Termination of Services, whichever comes first.
- Coverage; Where Your Device Will Work. Services that rely on location information, such as GPS, depend on your Device’s ability to acquire satellite signals (typically not available indoors) and network coverage. Network coverage and satellite signals are dependent on a number of factors not within our control including weather, topographical changes, changes to and support of network cellular technologies, the functionality of various satellites, cell towers, clouds, and other factors. You understand and expressly agree to hold us harmless from any and all claims or damages that result from the Device not working, malfunctioning, or failing except as specifically provided under the limited warranty herein.
- Our Service and Device are Not Substitutes for Direct Supervision. Our Service and Devices are not substitutes for responsible child care, adult care, or any other form of monitoring for a dependent person who may or may not need competent adult supervision, and should not be used as such. You agree to utilize all your best efforts to care for and tend to the dependents in your control. You may not utilize our service or device as a substitute for direct supervision and competent care. Our Device and Services may not function and in any situation is an ineffective substitute for adequate direct supervision and competent dependent care.
- Activation & Miscellaneous Charges. Based on our Policies, we may charge activation, prepayment, reactivation, program or other fees to establish or maintain Services. Certain transactions may also be subject to a charge (for example, convenience payment, changing phone numbers, handset upgrades, etc.). You will be provided notice of these types of fees before we complete the requested transaction.
- Account & Service Charges; Pro-rating; Unused Services. You are responsible for all charges associated with your account and the Services on your account, no matter who uses the Services or whether the Services were used. Charges include, but are not limited to, the monthly recurring charges, usage charges, taxes, surcharges and fees associated with your Services. These charges are described or referred to during the sales transaction, in our marketing materials, and in confirmation materials we may send to you.
- Your Bill. Your bill provides you notice of your charges. The stated billing rates are inclusive of amounts to support the initial set up, shipping, and hardware costs required to start the subscription services. It reflects monthly recurring charges (usually billed one bill cycle in advance) and usage/transaction specific charges (usually billed in the bill cycle in which they’re incurred). Your bill may also include other important notices (for example, changes to this Agreement, to your Service, legal notices, etc.). Your bill will only be available via the internet. You are responsible for providing a valid email address for communication. You agree to assume all responsibility, including payment of any additional fees or limitations incurred as a result of your email malfunctioning or not receiving our communication.
- Your Payments; Late Fees; Overages. Payment is due in full as stated on your bill. If we do not receive payment in full by the date specified on your bill, a late payment charge, which may be charged at the highest rate permissible by law, may be applied to the total unpaid balance. We may also charge you any costs, including attorney’s fees, we pay to a collection agency to collect unpaid balances from you. You may be charged additional fees for certain methods of payment. We may charge you, up to the highest amount permitted by law, for returned checks or other payments paid by you and denied for any reason by a financial institution. Acceptance of payments (even if marked “paid in full”) does not waive our right to collect all amounts that you owe us. We may restrict your payment methods to cashier’s check, money order, or any other reasonable method at any time at our sole discretion.
- Taxes & Government Fees. You agree to pay all federal, state and local taxes, fees and other assessments that we’re required by law to collect on the Services we provide you and remit to the government. These charges may change from time to time without advance notice. If you are claiming any tax exemption, you must provide us with a valid exemption certificate. Tax exemptions generally won’t be applied retroactively.
- Disputing Charges – You Must Still Pay Undisputed Charges. Any dispute to a charge on your bill must be made within 60 days of the date of the bill that initially contained the charge. Disputes can only be made by calling or writing us as directed on your invoice or elsewhere. MOTOsafety will work with you to resolve disputed charges. MOTOsafety may, at its sole discretion, adjust such disputed charges. You are responsible for payment of disputed charges that are judged to be resolved by MOTOsafety, regardless of whether any adjustment is granted. You accept all charges not properly disputed within the above time period – undisputed charges must still be paid as stated on your bill.
- Payment Policy. You agree to make payments on or before the day of the purchase of each month in the amount set forth in your Agreement plus additional taxes, fees, or surcharges as provided for in this Agreement. You are required to maintain valid credit card information on file for the processing of any applicable service fees. You hereby authorize us or our assigns or agents to charge your credit card a monthly reoccurring fee for the pendency of your contract in the full amount of the bill owing. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your account in a timely manner (see, Section 10), you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method, as it may be updated. You may edit your Payment Method information and view payments made by visiting your website, signing in, clicking “My Account”, and then selecting Profile. Once you make the appropriate changes, click “Save”. At our sole discretion, MOTOsafety may use credit card issuer-approved services, such as Chase Account Updater, to acquire updated payment information for the purpose of processing outstanding payments that are on your account. You may also view Payments Made by selecting “Invoices” in the “My Accounts” section.
- Assignment. MOTOsafety may assign the rights to this contract to third parties at our sole discretion without input or consent from you.
- International Usage. Your Device may be set to operate both domestically and may also operate internationally. However, you will be charged additional fees if the Device is in another country other than the United States and is utilized. The rate on these fees shall be the actual cost of international roaming charges plus a 40% administration fee. These rates will be charged for any month in which there is any international usage, no matter if the usage was less than an actual month.
- Protecting Our Network & Service. We can take any action to:
- protect our network, our rights and interests, or the rights of others; or
- optimize or improve the overall use of our network and Services. Some of these actions may interrupt or prevent legitimate communications.
- Your Privacy. You agree to the terms of our Privacy Policy, available at our website, when you use our Services. This policy may change from time to time, so review this policy with regularity and care. Among other things, the policy includes important information on what information we collect about you, how we use that information, and with whom we share that information (for example, to provide you certain Services, to protect our rights and interests, to respond to legal process, to facilitate a merger, etc.). Also, to ensure the quality of our Services and for other lawful purposes, we may also monitor or record calls between us (for example, your conversations with our customer service or sales departments). If you do not agree with the terms of our Privacy Policy, do not purchase or use our Services. Linxup shall disclose information and data pursuant to the requirements of law, regulation, or court order, provided that the receiving party will promptly inform the providing party of any such requirement and cooperate with any attempt to procure a protective order or similar treatment.
- Location Based Services. Our network generally knows the location of your Device when it is outdoors and turned on. Environmental factors (such as structures, buildings, weather, geography, landscape, and topography) can significantly impact the ability to access your Device’s location information and use of location-sensitive services. Use of location-sensitive services require network coverage. You (the account holder) are responsible for clearly and regularly notifying the actual user of your Device that their location may be tracked or discovered. For additional information on location-sensitive services, see our Privacy Policy at our website.
- If Your Device Is Lost or Stolen. Call us immediately if your Device is lost or stolen because you may be responsible for usage charges before you notify us of the alleged loss or theft. You agree to cooperate if we choose to investigate the matter (provide facts, sworn statements, etc.).
- Disclaimer of Warranties. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING (TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE CONCERNING YOUR SERVICES (INCLUDING YOUR DEVICE). WE DO NOT PROMISE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE SERVICES AND DO NOT AUTHORIZE ANYONE TO MAKE WARRANTIES ON OUR BEHALF.
- You Agree We Are Not Responsible For Certain Problems. You agree that neither we nor our vendors, suppliers or licensors are responsible for any damages resulting from:
- anything done or not done by someone else;
- providing or failing to provide Services, including, but not limited to, deficiencies or problems with a Device or network coverage (for example, dropped, blocked, interrupted messages, etc.);
- traffic or other accidents, or any health-related claims relating to our Services;
- false messages sent while using our Services;
- an interruption or failure in accessing or attempting to access emergency services from a Device;
- interrupted, failed, or inaccurate location information services;
- things beyond our control, including acts of God (for example, weather-related phenomena, fire, earthquake, hurricane, etc.), riot, strike, war, terrorism or government orders or acts; or
- unauthorized access to your Personal Information or Vehicle by hackers or others who have obtained such access through illegal measures.
- YOU AGREE OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED – NO CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, OUR LIABILITY FOR MONETARY DAMAGES FOR ANY CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US IS LIMITED TO NO MORE THAN THE PROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF THE SERVICE CHARGES ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE AFFECTED PERIOD. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE WE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO PROVIDING OR FAILING TO PROVIDE SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH A DEVICE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, BODILY HARM, DEATH, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, OR COST OF REPLACEMENT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
- DISPUTE RESOLUTION. We each agree to first contact each other with any disputes and provide a written description of the problem, all relevant documents/information and the proposed resolution. You agree to contact us with disputes by calling or writing us as instructed on your invoice. We will contact you by letter to your billing address or on your Device. Instead of suing in court, we each agree to finally settle all disputes (as defined and subject to any specific exceptions below) only by arbitration. In arbitration, there’s no judge or jury and review is limited. However, just as a court would, the arbitrator must honor the terms and limitations in the Agreement and can award the same damages and relief, including any attorney’s fees authorized by law. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with some exceptions under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. We each also agree as follows:
- “Disputes” are any claims or controversies against each other related in any way to our Services or the Agreement including, but not limited to, coverage, Devices, privacy, or advertising, even if it arises after Services have terminated – this includes claims you bring against our employees, agents, affiliates or other representatives, or that we bring against you.
- If either of us wants to arbitrate a dispute, we agree to send written notice to the other providing a description of the dispute, previous efforts to resolve the dispute, all supporting documents/information, and the proposed resolution. Notice to you will be sent to your address provided to us when you sign up for our service, and notice to us will be sent to: 424 S. Woods Mill Rd., Suite 210, St. Louis, MO 63017. We agree to make attempts to resolve the dispute. If we cannot resolve the dispute within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the notice to arbitrate, then we may submit the dispute to formal arbitration.
- The FAA applies to this Agreement and arbitration provision. We each agree the FAA’s provisions, not state law, govern all questions of whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.
- Unless we each agree otherwise, the Arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator and will take place in St. Louis County, Missouri. The federal or state law that applies to the Agreement will also apply during the arbitration.
- We each agree not to pursue arbitration on a class-wide basis. We each agree that any arbitration will be solely between you and us and not brought on behalf of or together with another individual’s claim. If for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and the dispute must be brought in court.
- We each are responsible for our respective costs relating to counsel, experts, and witnesses, as well as any other costs relating to the arbitration.
- Exceptions To Our Agreement To Arbitrate Disputes. Either of us may bring qualifying claims in small claims court in St. Louis County, Missouri. In addition, this arbitration provision does not prevent you from filing your dispute with any federal, state or local government agency that can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf.
- No Class Actions. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES ON A CLASSWIDE BASIS; THAT IS, TO EITHER JOIN A CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY, OR ASSERT A CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING.
- No Trial By Jury. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING.
- Indemnification. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from any claims arising out of your actions including, but not limited to, failing to provide appropriate notices regarding location-sensitive services (see “Location Based Services” paragraph), or violating this Agreement, any applicable law or regulation or the rights of any third party.
- Providing Notice To Each Other Under The Agreement. Except as the Agreement specifically provides otherwise, you must provide us notice by calling or writing us as instructed on your invoice. We will provide you notice in your bill, correspondence to your last known billing address, to any fax number or e-mail address you’ve provided us, by calling you on the provided phone number, by voice message on provided phone number.
- Other Important Terms. Subject to federal law or unless the Agreement specifically provides otherwise, this Agreement is governed solely by the laws of the state of Missouri, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of that state. If either of us waives or does not enforce a requirement under this Agreement in an instance, we do not waive our right to later enforce that requirement. Except as the Agreement specifically provides otherwise, if any part of the Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the rest of this Agreement remains in full force and effect. This Agreement is not for the benefit of any third party except our corporate parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, and predecessors and successors in interest. You may not assign the Agreement or any of your rights or duties under it. We may assign the Agreement. The Agreement and the documents it incorporates make up the entire agreement between us and replaces all prior written or spoken agreements – you cannot rely on any contradictory documents or statements by sales or service representatives. The rights, obligations and commitments in the Agreement that, by their nature, would logically continue beyond the termination of Services (including, but not limited to, those relating to billing, payment, dispute resolution, no class action, no jury trial), survive termination of Services.
