SAFELET TERMS OF SERVICE
SAFELET BV designs products and services to assist users to lead more secure lives. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your purchase and use of our SAFELET devices (“Products”), our websites, including SAFELET.com, the software embedded in Products, the SAFELET mobile applications (the “SAFELET Apps”), and other SAFELET services (collectively, the “SAFELET Service”).
You must accept these Terms to use the SAFELET App and to use the SAFELET Service. If you do not have the SAFELET App, you accept these Terms by visiting SAFELET.com or using any part of the SAFELET Service. By accepting these Terms, you also are accepting SAFELET’s Product Terms of Sale, SAFELET’s Limited Warranty, SAFELET’s Privacy Policy, SAFELET’s General Disclaimer, and SAFELET’s Monitoring Services Subscription Terms & Conditions, all of which may be found and reviewed at SAFELET.com.
IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE THE SAFELET APP, VISIT SAFELET.COM OR USE THE SAFELET SERVICE.
These Terms May Change
Because our business and the environment we all live in changes, these Terms will change over time. If we make minor changes to the Terms without materially changing your rights, we will post the modified Terms on SAFELET.com. We also may notify you by email of other changes to the Terms through the SAFELET Service (including through the App), or at our election and discretion, by providing you with a new Terms of Service to accept. When you use the SAFELET Service after a modification is posted or you are notified of any modification, you are accepting the modifications to these Terms.

Creating an Account
Full use of any SAFELET App requires that you create an account by providing us with your name, a valid e-mail address and a mobile phone number with SMS capability (and any other required information as specified in the SAFELET App). You are responsible for all activity that occurs in association with your SAFELET App account. SAFELET is not liable for any loss or damages caused by your failure to maintain the confidentiality of your SAFELET App account credentials.

Necessary Equipment
Full use of the SAFELET Service is dependent upon your use of a mobile device with adequate software, or a Product, supported mobile cellular device and Internet access. The maintenance and security of this equipment may influence the performance of the SAFELET Service (especially a SAFELET App) and it is your responsibility to ensure the equipment’s functionality.
Posting Your Content On The SAFELET Service
You may make certain postings and add other content (“Your Content”) to certain existing or later-developed parts of the SAFELET Service. You retain all rights to Your Content that you post to the SAFELET Service. “Your Content” does not include any Personal Identifiable Information (PII) that you provide by using the SAFELET App (including your SAFELET contacts and their contact information) or any information relating to any alert you send through a Product, as that data is covered by SAFELET’s Privacy Policy. By making Your Content available on or through the SAFELET Service, you grant to SAFELET a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, publicly display, publicly perform and distribute Your Content only in connection with offering, operating and providing the SAFELET Service.

You also agree that Your Content will comply with the following community guidelines:
Be respectful of the opinions of others. Even though you might not agree with someone, that doesn’t mean they are wrong or deserve to be belittled. Remember that what works for you may not work for everyone else. Give everyone the same courtesy you would expect in return.
Do not post profane or explicit content.
Do not post pictures that might be considered inappropriate.
Do not post communications that could be interpreted as threatening or harassing.

We are not obligated to monitor access or use of the SAFELET Service, SAFELET Content, or Your Content or to review or edit any SAFELET Content or Your Content, but we have the right to do so for the purpose of operating the SAFELET Service, to ensure compliance with these Terms, and to comply with applicable law or other legal requirements.

We have the right to investigate violations of these Terms and any conduct that affects the SAFELET Service.
Without limiting SAFELET’s above rights, we may also remove or disable access to the SAFELET Service if your use of the SAFELET Service exceeds any SAFELET App alert usage or other usage limits set by SAFELET from time to time.
Use The SAFELET Service At Your Own Risk
Our goal is to provide helpful and accurate information on the SAFELET Service, but we make no endorsement, representation or warranty of any kind about the SAFELET Service including the activation of any alerts by you, any SAFELET Content, information, services or recommendations. The accuracy of the data collected and presented through the SAFELET Service is not intended to match that of public or other private emergency services.
Without limiting anything in the preceding paragraph, SAFELET is not responsible for the accuracy, reliability, effectiveness, or correct use of information you receive or send through the SAFELET Service. Maps, directions, and other GPS or navigation data, including data relating to your current location, may be unavailable, inaccurate or incomplete. Use of the App also requires a data service, Bluetooth connection between the SAFELET device and your smartphone, and a cellular connection. If you rely on any SAFELET Content or the SAFELET Service, you do so solely at your own risk.
Please review the SAFELET Service General Disclaimer and the SAFELET Limited Warranty so that you fully understand these limitations on the SAFELET Service and your use of any Products and SAFELET Apps.
Use Common Sense
Use of the SAFELET Service (including but not limited to any Product and any SAFELET App) should not replace your good judgment and common sense (and that of your SAFELET contacts that you designate in any SAFELET App and any other members of the SAFELET community). Please read and comply with all safety and cautionary notices that accompany your Product and/or the SAFELET Service, including those located on the Product packaging and insert, as well as any other notices posted on any part of the SAFELET Service.

Therefore, please do not submit any such unsolicited ideas in any form to SAFELET or any of its employees or representatives.
