Last modified on 12th of July 2016

Thank you for accessing and using Run Angel's websites, services, apps, devices and products ("Services"). The Services are made available to you by Run Angel Limited ("we", "us" and "our"). Please read these Terms of Service carefully when visiting our website or signing up for or using our Services as you are agreeing to these Terms of Service and are entering into a legally binding agreement with us. We have done our best to explain things clearly for you in this document but if you have any questions about these Terms of Service, please let us know.

1. Agreement

  1. 1.1  Your agreement with us incorporates these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy and any other policies we make available to you as part of the Service ("Agreement"). You agree that by registering, accessing or using our Services, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with us.

  2. 1.2  Our Services are intended for use by persons 13 years of age and over. You are required not to use our Services if you are under 13. Before using our Services you confirm to us that you (a) are 13 years of age or over and, (b) if you are between 13 and 17 years of age, you possess legal parental or guardian consent and are fully able to enter into and to comply with this Agreement.

  3. 1.3  If your use of the Services is not permitted under applicable laws, then your right to enter into this Agreement is revoked where these laws apply and you are not authorised to use the Services. We are not responsible for your access or use of the Services in a way that is not in accordance with applicable law.

  4. 1.4  If you do not agree to this Agreement you will have to immediately cease using and accessing the Services, delete the Run Angel app ("App") from your mobile device immediately, and return any of our Devices to us, in accordance with any Device return guidance that we may issue from time to time.

2. Run Angel Services

  1. 2.1  Our Services are owned and operated by us and may enable you to (a) search, store, access, and view content, (b) transmit, share and distribute live emergency alerts by SMS and email notification that will include the date, time and co-ordinates (e.g. Google Map link) of the location of the notification, and/or (c) trigger the audible alarm on the Device (each, an "Activation").

  2. 2.2  Our Services allow you to invite other people, such as friends or family, to act as your contact should there be an Activation through the Device ("Guardian").

  3. 2.3  You may use the Run Angel alarm device and other equipment or devices we approve for use in connection with the Services ("Device"). You may acquire the Run Angel Device for an additional fee either from us or a third party retailer. Due to technical limitations you may only be able to use the Devices in connection with our Services, and for no other use.

  4. 2.4 You are responsible for all of your activity in connection with the Services and Devices. We only supply the Services and Devices for use in a manner that complies with all laws that apply to you.

3. Your Account and Guardians

  1. 3.1  Apart from the Run Angel alarm functionality on the Device, which operates independently, you must download the App and create and register a user account with us before you can use the connected capability of Run Angel and access certain features of the Services. You agree to provide true, accurate and complete information in the registration process (including a valid email address) and to keep your information up to date. Before your account is activated you must verify your contact details by clicking a link sent to you within an SMS.

  2. 3.2  You can select up to three Guardian contacts to act as your contact in the event there is an Activation of the Device. You must enter each Guardian's name, mobile phone number and email address through the Service. Before an individual is allowed to be a Guardian he or she must agree to be one of your Guardians by clicking a link sent to them within an SMS. You agree to provide true, accurate and complete information in the registration process for each Guardian and to keep their information up to date. You agree to comply with all relevant data protection legislation and obtain all relevant and required consents from each individual Guardian.

  3. 3.3  As between you and others, your user account belongs to you. You agree to try to choose a strong and secure password, keep your password secure and confidential and not transfer any part of your user account. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorised use of your user account and/or password. You are responsible for anything that happens through your account unless you close it or report misuse to us.

  4. 3.4  You may not select or use the actual name or user account ID of another person with the intent to impersonate that person or without their authorisation.

If you exceed your allocation of Activations you can purchase more through an in-App purchase.

  3. 5.3  The fees in respect of the Services and Devices are described on our website or on our App.

By using the Services, you consent to us collecting, accessing, processing, storing and using any information that you provide in accordance with the terms of the Privacy Policy and any privacy settings which we may provide to you.

7. Intellectual Property

  1. 7.1 We and our licensors reserve all of our intellectual property rights in the Services and Device. For example, logos and other trade marks, service marks and graphics used in connection with the Services and Devices are trademarks or registered trademarks of ours and our licensors.

  2. 7.2 We need the ability to process certain content so that we can operate and improve the Services we provide to you. We therefore require you under this Agreement to grant us a license to the content that you create or generate through the Services ("User Content"). As between you and us, you own your User Content and you grant us (and those we work with) a non-exclusive, worldwide, transferable and sub- licensable right to access, process, use, copy, distribute publish and modify your User Content without any further notice, consent, or compensation to you or others. For the purposes of operating and improving our Services you agree that we retain the right to create derivative works of, reformat, extract from and translate any of your User Content. If you delete or cancel your user account with us you understand and agree that any User Content that you have shared with others may remain accessible to them, for example if they have made a separate copy of your User Content. You agree to compensate us for any loss or damage that we may incur if you submit or upload any User Content that infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party.

8. Software in the Services

  1. 8.1 The Service and Devices include software. This software may be updated automatically on your web browser or Device once a new version or feature is available. You may be able to adjust your automatic update settings on your Device's operating system.

  2. 8.2 Any software component embodied in the Services and Device is licensed to you, and not sold. We (and our licensors) provide you with a personal, worldwide, non- assignable, non-sub-licensable, non-exclusive licence to use the software provided to you as part of the Service and Devices. This licence is for the sole purpose of enabling you to use and enjoy the benefit of the Services and Devices in accordance with this Agreement. You are not allowed to copy, modify, distribute, sell or lease any part of the Services or Device or included software or reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of that software, unless laws prohibit those restrictions or you have written permission to do so.

  3. 8.3 Some software used in our Services and Devices may be offered under an open source licence agreement ("Open Source Software"). The Open Source Software is licensed under the terms of the license that accompanies such Open Source Software. Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under, or grants you rights that supersede the terms and conditions of any applicable end user license for such Open Source Software.

9. Device Delivery, Title and Return

  1. 9.1  If you order a Device from us, the timescales for delivery and delivery charges will vary depending on the availability of the Device and your address. When you place an order for a Device we will contact you with an estimated delivery date. We will use reasonable endeavours to deliver the Device as soon as possible but occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an event outside our control in which case we will deliver the Device once that event is finished.

  2. 9.2  Delivery of a Device shall be completed when we deliver the Device to the address you give us. You will be responsible for the Device from that time.

  3. 9.3  If you purchase a Device from us you own the Device once we have received payment in full. If you damage or lose the Device before you have paid for it in full, you will still be required to pay us the full price of the Device.

  4. 9.4  If you are eligible under applicable law to avail of a right to cancel this Agreement within 14 days (or any longer period agreed by us) without giving any reason and to receive a reimbursement of payments, you must provide us with an unequivocal statement (for example, letter sent by post, fax or e-mail) of your decision to cancel this Agreement within 14 days (or any longer period agreed by us) of receipt of your Device. The Device, any boxed accessories and items need to be returned to us in their original purchase condition, with the original packaging and other related material and accompanied by proof of purchase. The cost of returning the Device, boxed accessories and items to us shall be borne by you. To be eligible for this right to cancel, the Device must not be faulty due to damage caused to it whilst in your possession. The Device and boxed accessories and items need to be returned to us by post. We recommend that any Device you return to us under this Agreement is sent by registered post and you obtain a receipt for payment, as we may withhold any reimbursement until we have received the Devices back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the Devices, whichever is the earliest.

10. Device Warranty

  1. 10.1  One (1) Year Limited Device Warranty. We warrant to you that a Device that you avail of from us under this Agreement will be materially free from defects in materials and workmanship for a 1 year period from the date of purchase of the Device. This warranty only applies to a Device made available to you that you have only used in the country where it was delivered to you by us. This Limited 1  year Device warranty does not apply to damage or defects caused by (a) fair wear and tear; (b) wilful damage, abnormal storage or working conditions, accident, negligence by you or by any third party; (c) operation or use other than as described in the Device documentation; or (d) any alteration or repair by you or by a third party who is not one of our authorised repairers.

You acknowledge that this Agreement is concluded between you and us only, and not with any other App Provider.

  2. 16.2  The App Provider has no obligation to maintain the App or provide support services for the App. The App Provider is not responsible for any claims you or a third party may have in relation to the App including, any Device liability claims, consumer protection claims, intellectual property infringement claims, or any claim that our App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement.

  3. 16.3  The App is licensed to you on a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferrable, non-sub- licensable basis, solely to be used in connection with the Service for your private, personal, non-commercial use, subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement as they are applicable to the Service.

  5. 16.5  You acknowledge and agree that, in the event of any third party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, we, and not the App Provider, are responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of any such infringement claim.

17. Changes

We may also impose limits on certain features and Services or restrict your access to parts or all of the Services.

  2. 17.2  We will not back-date these changes. Unless required as a matter of urgency or reasonable necessity, a material change will be effective no earlier than 14 days after we notify you.
