1. Agreement to Terms & Acceptance

This Service Terms and Conditions Agreement (the "Agreement") is a legally binding contract between you ("Customer," "User," or "You") and Holo Technologies Inc. ("Company," "Holo Alert," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using our website (www.holoalert.ca), subscribing to, activating, using, or continuing to use any Holo Alert emergency monitoring system ("Product") or services associated with it (collectively, the "Services"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by this Agreement and our Privacy Policy.

The Customer acknowledges that the Service may be provided, in whole or in part, by Holo Technologies Inc., its affiliates, contractors, monitoring partners, or any successor entity.

If you do not agree to the terms set forth herein, you must immediately discontinue use of the Product and Service, do not use our website, and notify Holo Technologies Inc. of your intent to cancel in accordance with the cancellation policies outlined in this Agreement (Section 8).

We reserve the right to modify this Agreement at any time. Changes become effective upon posting on our website or upon notification to you. Your continued use of the Services after any updates signifies your acceptance of the revised terms. Customers are encouraged to periodically review these Terms.

2. Description of Services

Holo Alert provides personal emergency response systems (PERS), including wearable devices ("Product") equipped with GPS tracking and automatic fall detection functionality, and associated 24/7 monitoring services ("Service"). The system operates on a cellular network. The Service enables Customers to connect with a central monitoring station of our choosing, which is responsible for attempting to dispatch emergency response personnel in case of medical distress or emergency situations reported via the Product.

Our Services are designed to enhance safety and peace of mind. However, they do not replace 911, emergency medical services (EMS), or professional medical care. You should always seek immediate medical attention or call 911 directly when needed.

Holo Technologies Inc. strives to provide a reliable Service but does not guarantee or warrant that emergency responders will always be reached or dispatched in a timely manner or at all. Response times and effectiveness depend on factors outside our control, including cellular network availability, proper Product use, and third-party responder protocols.

3. Eligibility & User Responsibilities

To use our Services, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years old (or have a legal guardian's consent).
  • Provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information during registration and maintain the accuracy of this information (including billing and emergency contacts).
  • Use the Services only as intended and in compliance with applicable Canadian laws.

You agree not to:

  • Use our Services for fraudulent, illegal, or abusive purposes.
  • Modify, reverse-engineer, or interfere with the Holo Alert website, Product, or Services.
  • Submit false emergency alerts or misuse the 24/7 monitoring service.

4. System Operation, Limitations & Network Coverage

Location Services

Holo Alert uses WiFi and cellular triangulation, as well as GPS satellite signals, to determine your location. Location accuracy is not guaranteed and can be impacted by factors such as network availability, signal strength, being indoors, tall buildings, tunnels, dense tree cover, poor weather, and other environmental conditions.

Automatic Fall Detection

This feature is designed to detect some sudden falls but is not guaranteed to detect 100% of falls. Gradual slides, slow collapses, or certain types of movements may not trigger an alert. Conversely, high-impact movements, sudden stops, or other non-fall movements may generate false alarms. Customers must always manually press the SOS/emergency button if able to do so in an emergency.

Network Coverage

The Service relies on cellular networks and is available nationwide in Canada, but coverage and signal strength vary. We are not liable for service disruptions due to network outages, weak signals, interference, equipment malfunctions, or other factors affecting cellular service.

General Limitations

The Customer acknowledges the inherent limitations of the Product and Service. The Company is not liable for any failure of GPS, automatic fall detection, network connectivity, or any other aspect of the Product or Service to operate as expected.

5. Device Use & Maintenance

To ensure reliable performance, you agree to:

  • Charge your Product regularly as per the user manual.
  • Wear your Product properly to maximize fall detection accuracy (if applicable).
  • Test your Product periodically (e.g., monthly) to confirm functionality and connection to the monitoring center.
  • Keep your emergency contact information accurate and updated with us.

Holo Alert is not responsible for issues arising from:

  • Failure to charge, wear, or test the Product correctly.
  • User misuse, tampering, or unauthorized modifications.
  • Damage due to water exposure beyond specified resistance levels (e.g., IP67).
  • Failure to maintain accurate contact information.

6. Emergency Response Process & Limitations

Our 24/7 monitoring team will attempt to respond when the SOS button is pressed or an automatic fall detection alert is received (if enabled). However, Holo Alert:

  • Does not replace 911: Always call 911 directly if possible in an emergency.
  • Cannot guarantee response: We cannot guarantee connection or dispatch if network connectivity is disrupted or unavailable.
  • Relies on accurate information: We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by incorrect or outdated emergency contact or location information provided by you.
  • Is not liable for responder actions: We are not responsible for the timeliness or effectiveness of actions taken by third-party emergency responders (e.g., EMS, police, fire department).

7. Billing, Payment Terms, Service Term, and Financial Agreements

Payment Obligation

Customers must make all payments in full and on time according to their selected service plan. An active, paid subscription is required for the monitoring Service.

Billing Commencement

Charges for service begin immediately upon signing this Agreement or completing an online purchase, regardless of whether the Customer has activated or used the Product, unless Holo Technologies Inc. fails to deliver the Product within thirty (30) days of the agreed shipping date (in which case the Customer may cancel and receive a full refund of payments made).

Billing Methods & Assignment

Payments may be processed, administered, or collected by Holo Technologies Inc., or by an affiliate, third-party financing company, billing administrator, or successor entity. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that Holo Technologies Inc. may assign or transfer billing rights, payment obligations, or account administration in connection with financing arrangements, affiliate relationships, mergers, acquisitions, portfolio or account sales, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or business operations, without notice to or consent from the Customer.

Third-Party Financing

If payments are assigned to a third-party financing company, the Customer is fully responsible for fulfilling all financial obligations under that separate agreement. Holo Technologies Inc. bears no liability for the administration or enforcement of such obligations following the transfer. Payment structures, fees, and penalties from third-party financiers are separate from those of Holo Technologies Inc.

Automatic Billing/Renewal

  • Direct Billing: If Holo Technologies Inc. bills you directly throughout your initial term, your service will automatically renew at the end of the term for a successive period equal to the billing cycle of your plan, unless you provide written cancellation notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the desired termination date. Monthly plans renew automatically on a month-to-month basis. Annual plans renew automatically for successive twelve (12) month terms, with the renewal fee billed in full and in advance at the start of each renewal term.
  • Third-Party Financed Term: If your initial term was financed through a third party, you remain responsible for fulfilling payments to that company. Upon completion of that financing term, Holo Technologies Inc. will automatically begin billing you directly for continued service on a month-to-month basis to prevent service interruption, unless you provide written cancellation notice to Holo Technologies Inc. at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of your financing term.

Payment Failure

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate service if payments are not received on time. No claims shall be made against Holo Technologies Inc. for service interruptions due to non-payment.

Pricing Adjustments

We reserve the right to adjust pricing with prior notice.

Late Fees

While not currently imposed, Holo Technologies Inc. reserves the right to introduce late payment fees in the future with advance written notice.

8. Cancellation Policy, Returns & Refunds

Initial Cancellation Window

Customers may cancel their purchase, service, or contract without penalty within ten (10) days from the date of signing the agreement, completing the online purchase, or from the date they receive the Product, whichever occurs later. Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to Holo Technologies Inc. (contact details in Section 18). A full refund will be issued for payments made, provided any received Product is returned in its original condition per return instructions.

Return Shipping

To process a refund under the initial cancellation window, the Product must be returned to Holo Technologies Inc. in its original condition, following the return instructions provided to you. Contact Holo Technologies Inc. before shipping the Product. For an approved return within the initial cancellation window, Holo Technologies Inc. will provide a prepaid return shipping label. For any other return of equipment, including returns after the initial cancellation window under Section 9, return shipping costs are the responsibility of the Customer unless Holo Technologies Inc. states otherwise in writing.

Cancellation After Initial Window

If a Customer cancels after the ten (10) day period but before the end of their agreed service term, an early cancellation fee will apply equal to CAD $30 multiplied by the number of full months remaining in the service agreement at the time written notice of cancellation is received.

Third-Party Financing Obligations

Cancellation of service with Holo Technologies Inc. does not automatically cancel obligations under a third-party financing agreement. The Customer remains bound by the policies and financial obligations set forth by the third-party finance company.

Refunds

Except for cancellations within the initial 10-day window, subscription and service fees are generally non-refundable, except where required by law. Except as required by law, no refunds shall be issued for amounts paid beyond the applicable cancellation period. The 10-day cancellation window described above applies only to your initial purchase and does not apply to, reset upon, or otherwise extend to any subsequent renewal term. When a subscription renews, including any automatic annual renewal, the renewal fee is billed in advance and, except where required by law, is non-refundable once charged. For any prepaid renewal term that has already been billed, the early cancellation fee described above does not apply; you may cancel to prevent future renewals, but you are not entitled to a refund of fees already paid for the current term and will continue to receive the Service through the end of that paid term.

9. Device Ownership (Rental Only) and Equipment Return

Rental Basis

All Products provided as part of the Service remain the property of Holo Technologies Inc. and are provided on a rental basis only. The Customer acquires no ownership interest in the equipment.

Customer Responsibility

The Customer must use the Product in accordance with manufacturer guidelines, regularly test the device to ensure proper operation, and is responsible for any loss, theft, or damage beyond reasonable wear and tear.

Return of Equipment

Upon cancellation or termination of the Service, all equipment must be returned in good working condition, subject to reasonable wear and tear, within the timeframe specified by Holo Technologies Inc. If equipment is not returned or is returned damaged, the Customer authorizes Holo Technologies Inc. or its assignee to charge the applicable replacement and reasonable administrative costs to the Customer's account. Failure to return may also result in the balance being referred to a collections agency.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

As Is Basis

THE PRODUCT AND SERVICE ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. HOLO TECHNOLOGIES INC. EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Service Guarantee

We do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure operation of the Product or Service. Customer acknowledges that reliability can be impacted by factors outside our control (network issues, interference, third-party services, etc.) and that such occurrences are outside of Holo Technologies Inc.'s control.

11. Company is Not an Insurer & Limitation of Liability

Not an Insurer

Customer acknowledges and agrees that Holo Technologies Inc. is not an insurer and does not provide insurance coverage for personal injury, loss of life, or property damage. The monitoring service fee is based solely on the provision of emergency monitoring services and does not constitute an insurance premium.

THIS INCLUDES LIABILITY ARISING FROM SERVICE DISRUPTIONS, NETWORK FAILURES, INACCURATE LOCATION INFORMATION, FAILURE OF FALL DETECTION, DELAYS IN RESPONSE, OR ACTIONS/INACTIONS OF THIRD-PARTY RESPONDERS.

Jurisdictional Exceptions
