NLSG Alarms, LLC for Business: Terms of Service
NLSG Alarms, LLC. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “NLSG”) provides: (1) services accessible through the Sites (“Web Apps”), (2) software that may be downloaded to your smartphone or tablet to access services (“Mobile Apps”), and (3) subscription services, including NLSG 24/7 remote video surveillance services (“NLSG”) and services that can be accessed using the Web Apps and Mobile Apps (“Subscription Services”), all for use in conjunction with NLSG hardware products (“Products”) and in other ways that NLSG provides. Some NLSG Products and Services can be used together or in ways that integrate with products and services from third parties. The term “Services” means the Sites, Web Apps, Mobile Apps, and Subscription Services.
These Terms of Service (“Terms” or “Agreement”) govern your access to and use of the Services and Products. Please read these terms carefully. THEY REQUIRE THE USE OF MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE DISPUTES RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS. PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION SECTION BELOW IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF THIS PROVISION. The term “you,” as used in these Terms, means any person or entity who accesses or uses the Services or Products and any person or entity who creates an Account (as defined in Section 2(a)) and accepts these Terms, including Owners, Authorized Users (as defined in Section 2(b)), and the parents or guardians of Authorized Users, as applicable (as described in Section 1(b)(ii)). These Terms give you specific legal rights, and you may also have other legal rights in addition, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. THE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, MANDATORY AND BINDING ARBITRATION, LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, INDEMNIFICATION, WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION AND WAIVER OF PUNITIVE DAMAGES UNDER THESE TERMS WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or other rights, so those provisions of these Terms may not apply to you.
THESE TERMS ARE A LEGAL AGREEMENT. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS THROUGH A SITE, WEB APP OR MOBILE APP, OR BY ACCESSING AND USING THE SERVICES (INCLUDING THE SITES) OR PRODUCTS, YOU ARE ACCEPTING AND AGREEING TO THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE ENTITY YOU REPRESENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE ACCESS AND USE. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AUTHORITY, AND CAPACITY (SUBJECT TO SECTION 1(b)(ii) BELOW) TO ACCEPT AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE ENTITY YOU REPRESENT. YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE, SUBJECT TO SECTION 1(b)(ii) BELOW, OF SUFFICIENT LEGAL AGE IN YOUR JURISDICTION OR RESIDENCE TO USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS AND TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS, YOU SHOULD DISCONNECT YOUR PRODUCTS FROM YOUR ACCOUNT (AS DESCRIBED BELOW) AND CEASE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS.
AS DESCRIBED BELOW, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO AUTOMATIC SOFTWARE UPDATE OF THE SERVICES AND OF THE PRODUCTS CONNECTED TO THE SERVICES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, YOU SHOULD NOT USE THE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS.
AS DESCRIBED BELOW, SECTIONS 4 AND 5 DESCRIBE IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS OF THE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY IN CONNECTION WITH LIFE SAFETY AND CRITICAL USES. PLEASE READ THESE DISCLOSURES CAREFULLY, AS YOU ARE ACKNOWLEDGING THEM AND ACCEPTING THEM.
1. Overview, Eligibility, Customer Service, Term and Termination
(a) Overview and Relation to Other Agreements. These Terms govern your use of the Services and Products. Your purchase of any Product is governed by the limited warranty provided with that Product (“Limited Warranty”) and may further be governed by the Terms & Conditions of Sale. The software embedded in the Product (and any updates thereto) (“Product Software”) is licensed and governed by the End User Licensing Agreement. Certain features of the Services may be subject to additional guidelines, terms, or rules, which will be posted on the Services in connection with such features. All additional guidelines, terms, or rules, and the Privacy Statement (“Privacy Statement”), are incorporated by reference into these Terms and you are agreeing to accept and abide by them by using the Services and Products.
(b) Eligibility. (i) You may use the Services and Products only if you have the legal capacity to form a binding contract with NLSG (except subject to the provisions of clause (1)(b)(ii) below), you accept these Terms through a Site, Web App or Mobile App, or by accessing or using the Services or Products, and only if you are in compliance with these Terms and all applicable local, state/provincial, national, and international laws, rules, and regulations. Only individuals age 18 and older are permitted to act as Owners and Authorized Users of NLSG Accounts. (ii) If you are an Authorized User, you represent and warrant that you are over the age of 13 (or equivalent minimum age in the jurisdiction where you reside), and in the event you are between the age of 13 (or equivalent minimum age in the jurisdiction where you reside) and the age of majority in the jurisdiction where you reside, that you will only use the Services and Products under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms.
- Parents or legal guardians may create Controlled Authorized User accounts for persons aged 13 to 18. It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to set the parameters of what such Controlled Authorized Users can do, access, change, etc. and they are solely responsible for the actions or inactions taken by such Controlled Authorized Users.
- NLSG recommends Authorized Users be adults over the age of 21. Owners assume all liability for the actions or inactions of its Authorized Users, including those under the age of 18.
Any use or access to the Services and Products by individuals under the age of 13 (or equivalent minimum age in the jurisdiction where you reside) is strictly prohibited and is a violation of these Terms. The Services and Products are not available to any users previously prohibited from using the Services and Products by NLSG.
(c) Customer Service. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Products, the Services, or these Terms, please contact NLSG. You understand and agree that customer service and any customer care and support offered and provided by NLSG is not a 911 service or dispatch center, an emergency service provider or dispatch service, or a lifesaving solution for people at risk in their home or otherwise. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE OR ANY CUSTOMER CARE AND SUPPORT OFFERED BY NLSG WITH ANY LIFE/SAFETY EMERGENCY, MEDICAL EMERGENCY, OR ANY OTHER EMERGENCY. IF YOU HAVE ANY SUCH EMERGENCY, YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTACT THE POLICE, FIRE DEPARTMENT, 911 OR APPROPRIATE EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICE.
(d) Term and Termination. These Terms will remain in full force and effect so long as you continue to access or use the Services or Products, or until terminated in accordance with the provisions of these Terms. At any time, NLSG may (i) suspend or terminate your rights to access or use the Services, or (ii) terminate these Terms with respect to you if NLSG in good faith believes that you have used the Services or Products in violation of these Terms, including any incorporated guidelines, terms or rules. Such termination by NLSG for a violation of these Terms does not release you from any financial commitments. If you transfer a Product to a new owner, your right to use the Services with respect to that Product automatically terminates, and the new owner will have no right to use the Product or Services under your Account (as described below) and will need to register for a separate Account with NLSG and accept these Terms.
Suspension or Termination of Access. NLSG has the right to deny access to, and to suspend or terminate your access to the Services, or to any features or portions of such, and to remove and discard any Data, content or materials you have submitted, at any time and for any reason, including for any violation by you of these Terms. In the event that we suspend or terminate your access to and/or use of the Services, you will continue to be bound by the Terms that were in effect as of the date of your suspension or termination.
(e) Effect of Termination. Upon termination of these Terms, your Account and your right to use the Services will automatically terminate.
(f) Notice. You may terminate this contract with 30 days’ notice for any reason. If you terminate prior to the end of a Contract Period, you will still be responsible for all remaining fees of such Contract Period.
2. Accounts
(a) Your Account. To use the Services and certain Products, you must register for a user account (“Account”) and provide certain information about yourself as prompted by the applicable registration form. You represent and warrant that: (a) all required registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; and (c) your use of the Services and Products will not violate any U.S. or other applicable law or regulation (e.g., you are not located in an embargoed country or are not listed as a prohibited or restricted party under applicable export control laws and regulations). You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account login information and for all activities that occur under your Account. You agree to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower-case letters, numbers and symbols) with your Account, and to maintain your password securely to prevent others from gaining access without your permission. You agree to immediately notify NLSG of any unauthorized use, or suspected unauthorized use, of your Account or any other breach of security. NLSG is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.
(b) The individual who creates an Account is the “Owner” of that Account and is the Owner of the Products associated with that Account. Individuals who are authorized to access an Owner’s Products and Services are “Authorized Users.” Authorized Users may have the ability to use the Services and monitor and control the Products (for example, turn your camera on or off). Authorized Users may also have the ability to view information (including personal information) and content across all of an Owner’s Products, Services, and Works with NLSG connections (for example, an Authorized User will receive mobile alerts or can view your video history). Authorized Users are responsible for their own actions in connection with the Products and Services, but Owner also hereby agrees to be fully responsible for all actions taken by Authorized Users relating to the Owner’s Products, Services and Account. If you are an Owner who invites or enables an Authorized User, you acknowledge and agree that such Authorized User may subsequently invite or enable other Authorized Users with the same access and ability to use your Products and Services set out above. As a result, if you are an Owner, you should authorize only those individuals that you trust to access your Account, Products, and Services.
3. Access to Services
(a) Access and Use. Subject to these Terms, NLSG grants you a non-transferable, non-exclusive, right (without the right to sublicense) to access and use the Services by (i) using the Web Apps in connection with, and solely for the purpose of, controlling and monitoring the Products you own or are authorized to control and monitor or otherwise accessing a service explicitly provided by NLSG for your use (the “Permitted Purpose”), and (ii) installing and using the Mobile Apps solely on your own handheld mobile device (e.g., iPhone, iPad, or Android smartphone) and solely for the Permitted Purpose.
(b) Automatic Software Updates. NLSG may from time to time develop patches, bug fixes, updates, upgrades and other modifications to improve the performance of the Services and/or the Product Software (“Updates”). These may be automatically installed without providing any additional notice or receiving any additional consent. You consent to this automatic update. If you do not want such Updates, your remedy is to terminate your Account and stop using the Services and the Products. If you do not terminate a previously created Account, you will receive Updates automatically. You acknowledge that you may be required to install Updates to use the Services and the Products and you agree to promptly install any Updates NLSG provides. Your continued use of the Services and the Products is your agreement – (i) to these Terms with respect to the Services and Products, (ii) to the End User License Agreement with respect to updated Product Software; and (iii) any change or updates that NLSG may make to these Terms or the End User License Agreement over time.
(c) NLSG-provided interface to Third-Party Products and Services. Over time, NLSG may provide the opportunity for you to interface the Products and Services to one or more third-party products and services, through and using the Services, for example integration with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit or Google Home (“Third Party Products and Services”). You decide whether and with which Third-Party Products and Services you want to interface. Your explicit consent and authorization is required for this interface, and is revocable by you at any time. Once your consent is given for a particular Third-Party Product and Service, you agree that NLSG may exchange information and control data regarding you and your products, including your personal information, in order to enable the interface you have authorized. Once this information is shared with the particular Third-Party Product and Service, its use will be governed by the third party’s privacy policy and not by NLSG’s privacy documentation. You acknowledge and agree that NLSG makes no representation or warranty about the quality or safety of any Third-Party Products or Services or the interface with Product and Services. Accordingly, NLSG is not responsible for your use of any Third-Party Product or Service or any personal injury, death, property damage (including, without limitation, to your home), or other harm or losses arising from or relating to your use of any Third-Party Products or Services. You should contact the third party with any questions about their Third-Party Products and Services.
(d) Certain Restrictions. The rights granted to you in these Terms are subject to the following restrictions: (i) you agree not to license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, host, or otherwise commercially exploit the Services or Products and understand you may use the Services or Products indoors or outdoors and solely in relation to commercial or industrial properties such as warehouses, retail locations or office buildings, in accordance with your specific Service Plan; (ii) you agree not to modify, make derivative works of, disassemble, reverse compile, or reverse engineer any part of the Services or Products; (iii) you agree not to access the Services or Products in order to build a similar or competitive service or product; (iv) except as expressly stated herein, no part of the Services or Products may be copied, reproduced, distributed, republished, downloaded, displayed, posted, or transmitted in any form or by any means; (v) you agree not to upload, transmit, or distribute any computer viruses, worms, or any software intended to damage or alter a computer or communication network, computer, handheld mobile device, data, the Services, the Products, the Product Software, or any other system, device or property; (vi) you agree not to interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to, the servers or networks connected to the Services or violate the regulations, policies, or procedures of such networks; (vii) you agree not to access (or attempt to access) any of the Services by means other than through the interface that is provided by NLSG; and (viii) you agree not to remove, obscure or alter any proprietary rights notices (including copyrights and trademark notices) which may be contained in or displayed in connection with the Services or Products. Any future release, update, or other addition to functionality of the Services shall be subject to these Terms.
(g) Privacy. Please review the Privacy Policy for NLSG Web Sites and the Privacy Statement for NLSG Products and Services. These documents describe practices regarding the information that NLSG may collect from users of the Products and Services.
(h) Security. NLSG cares about the integrity and security of your personal information. However, NLSG cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. You acknowledge that you provide your personal information at your own risk.
(i) Modification. NLSG reserves the right, at any time, to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services or any part thereof with or without notice. You agree that NLSG will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Services or any part thereof.
(j) Access Outside Certain Countries. Although the Sites are accessible worldwide, the Products and Services provided or accessed through or on the Sites are not available to all persons or in all countries. If you choose to access the Sites from outside a country in which NLSG supports the Product and Services listed here (“Target Country”), you do so on your own initiative and you are solely responsible for complying with applicable local laws in your country. You understand and accept that the Sites are not designed for use in a non-Target Country and some or all of the features of the Sites may not work or be appropriate for use in such a country. To the extent permissible by law, NLSG accepts no responsibility or liability for any damage or loss caused by your accessing or use of the Sites or NLSG Products in a non-Target Country. You will be bound by these Terms wherever you access or use the Sites or use the Services.
(k) EULA. Smart Home Surveillance Services require the acceptance of one or more End User License Agreement (EULA) for Mobile Apps. This is required to use the Mobile App to set up and configure Smart Home Surveillance Services.
4. Agreed Usage and Limitations of NLSG Services and Products
(a) Intended Use of NLSG Services. The Services are intended to be accessed and used for non-time-critical information and control of NLSG Products, indoors or outdoors and solely in relation to commercial or industrial properties such as a warehouse, retail location, or office building. While we aim for the Services to be highly reliable and available, they are not intended to be reliable or available 100% of the time. The Services are subject to sporadic interruptions and failures for a variety of reasons beyond NLSG’s control, including Wi-Fi intermittency, service provider uptime, mobile notifications and carriers, among others. You acknowledge these limitations and agree that NLSG is not responsible for any damages allegedly caused by the failure or delay of the Services.
(b) No Life-Safety or Critical Uses of the Products and Services. You acknowledge and agree that the Products and Services, whether standing alone or when interfaced with Third-Party Products or Services are not certified for life-safety use cases. Some examples of inappropriate life-safety use cases would be home health-care, crime scene surveillance or active violent altercations. You understand, acknowledge and agree that the Products and Product Software are detection and notification products. The Products and Product software do not react to or eliminate occurrences of events such as, by way of example, fires, floods, and medical issues, and are absolutely not certified for emergency response. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT SOFTWARE ARE NOT A THIRD-PARTY MONITORED EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM — NLSG DOES NOT MONITOR EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS AND WILL NOT DISPATCH EMERGENCY AUTHORITIES TO YOUR HOME IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. In addition, the NLSG Customer Care and Support contacts cannot be considered a lifesaving solution for people at risk in the home, and they are no substitute for emergency services. All life threatening and emergency events should be directed to the appropriate response services. NLSG cannot and does not provide specific information on what to do in an emergency situation in your home or elsewhere. It is your responsibility to educate yourself on how to respond to an emergency and to respond according to the specifics of your situation.
(c) Smart Home Surveillance. A subscription plan for professional monitoring and related emergency notification and dispatch of emergency authorities (“Smart Home Surveillance”) is required for the products to function. You further understand that such products may not function fully or at all without such subscription service being selected, enabled and current on payment. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT SMART HOME SURVEILLANCE WILL ONLY WORK WITH SMART HOME SURVEILLANCE ENABLED NLSG PRODUCTS. DO NOT USE OR ATTEMPT TO USE SMART HOME SURVEILLANCE WITH ANY PRODUCTS, WHETHER MANUFACTURED OR SOLD BY NLSG OR THIRD PARTIES, THAT ARE NOT SMART HOME SURVEILLANCE ENABLED NLSG PRODUCTS.
- i) Each of these subscription plans include the sharing of Video and Sensor Data (as defined in 6d) with one or more NLSG Security Monitoring Center (each a “Sentinel Center”) and with NLSG. The NLSG Guard Center is a location where the NLSG Center Employees (“NLSG GUARD CENTER Employees”) may receive and view Video and Sensor Data from NLSG Products and Services. NLSG Products can be configured using the Mobile App to determine when such Video and Sensor Data should be sent to the Sentinel Center.
- ii) Artificial Intelligence and/or other algorithms (together “Algorithms”) decides whether or not to share Video and Sensor Data with the Sentinel Center.
iii) In the event that an NLSG GUARD CENTER Employee reviews a video sent by the NLSG Product, they will use commercially reasonable efforts to determine if a crime is in progress or if a crime is about to be committed.
- NLSG GUARD CENTER Employees are trained to identify suspicious behavior using practices that are standard to the art of video surveillance.
- NLSG GUARD CENTER Employees are trained to err on the side of safety and security, that it is better to over than under-report. NLSG GUARD CENTER Employees are further trained to ensure they are assessing suspicious behavior in the most commercially reasonable manner and that the decisions they make are not based on bias or prejudice. However, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, You understand and agree that NLSG relies on a level of human assessment and cannot guarantee that an NLSG GUARD CENTER Employee will not make an inaccurate assessment of a specific situation.
- NLSG warrants that we will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify suspicious behavior in the Sensor Data and endeavor to avoid false alarms to the extent possible.
- iv) In the event NLSG GUARD CENTER Employees deem that a potential crime is in progress (for example, burglary, theft, assault)(an “Event”), you agree that NLSG GUARD CENTER Employees and NLSG may respond at their sole discretion using voice, light and other interactions to determine if, in fact, this Event is a crime in progress and/or to intervene with the person or people they suspect to be criminals and/or to alert the authorities (“Response”).
- v) NLSG and NLSG GUARD CENTER Employees may decide to engage Law Enforcement or Emergency Services or take other actions in their sole discretion as a part of this Response. You understand and agree that NLSG GUARD CENTER Employees and NLSG may alert the authorities when you, a resident, family member, friend or another Authorized User is potentially involved in an Event or some form of wrongdoing, and you not only agree that we may take such action but also will indemnify NLSG for doing so or for failing to do so. By using the NLSG Products and Services, you are specifically requesting that we use our commercially reasonable and discretionary efforts to report every potential crime or criminal activity that we become aware of or believe is happening, regardless of any specific event information that may or may not be relevant, and which may include reporting events that you would prefer not be reported, and which may incriminate you, other residents of your home and/or your Authorized Users. By using the NLSG Products and Services, you understand and agree that Events may be reported that turn out to be non-Events, and you agree that you understand and accept that possibility.
- vi) You further agree that NLSG may store any and all Sensor Data related to the Event indefinitely, or as required by law and as per the NLSG Privacy Statement.
- vi) No Smart Home Surveillance Guarantee: NLSG does not provide any guarantee of services. If you, your business or your customers are the victims of a Loss Event, NLSG will not be liable for the losses, any deductibles or any subsequent liability for such an event. A Loss Event may be a crime such as a burglary, an auto burglary, a theft or other violent or property crime. A Loss Event may also be an accident such as a slip, a fall, or other mishap. Under no circumstance can NLSG be found liable for such losses or any subsequent liability as a result of such a loss.
(d) Permits and Registration. Some local governments have various permit or registration requirements for use of the Products with Smart Home Surveillance. Without the required permit or registration, emergency responders may not respond to requests from a Third-Party Monitoring Provider for emergency dispatch, and/or fines and penalties may be levied against you by the applicable local government. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for obtaining, maintaining and renewing any permit or registration that may be required by your local government in the event you select a subscription plan for Smart Home Surveillance of the Products. Further, you agree to be solely responsible for any fines and penalties that may be assessed against you arising from your failure to obtain, maintain and renew any applicable permits or registrations. You are responsible for making sure the disclaimer stickers provided by NLSG are posted and clearly able to be seen by person(s) on or about your property.
You and your Authorized Users further agree and understand that you are prohibited from using the Platform or Services: (a) for any unlawful purpose; (b) to solicit others to perform or participate in any unlawful acts; (c) to violate any international, federal, provincial or state regulations, rules, laws, or local ordinances; (d) to infringe upon or violate NLSG’s intellectual property rights or the intellectual property rights of others; (e) to harass, abuse, insult, harm, defame, slander, disparage, intimidate, or discriminate based on gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, race, age, national origin, or disability; (f) to submit false or misleading information; (g) to spam, phish, pharm, pretext, spider, crawl, or scrape; or (j) for any obscene or immoral purpose.
The Services provide a feature that allows you to record individual conversations and/or upload recorded conversations. The laws regarding the notice and notification requirements of such recorded conversations vary by state to state. You are responsible for applying the local laws in the relevant jurisdiction when using this feature.
Disclosure. You agree that NLSG may access, maintain, and disclose information you provide to NLSG if required to do so by law or if NLSG believes, in good faith, that such access, maintenance or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (i) comply with any legal process; (ii) enforce this Agreement; (iii) respond to claims that any content posted, provided, transmitted, or otherwise made available by you violates the rights of third parties; (iv) respond to your customer service requests; or (v) otherwise protect the rights and property of NLSG, its users and the general public.
(e) Reliability of Services. You acknowledge that the Services, including remote access and mobile notifications, are not error-free or 100% reliable and 100% available. Proper functioning of the Services relies and is dependent on, among other things, the transmission of data through networks in your home and of third parties (“Networks Outside NLSG”). Networks Outside NLSG include for example your Wi-Fi network, enabled wireless device (such as a phone or tablet) and broadband internet access, internet backbone providers, telecommunications providers connecting your NLSG Products to NLSG or optional Cellular Backup service, for which neither NLSG nor any wireless or data carrier is responsible. Networks Outside NLSG may be interrupted, delayed, refused, or otherwise limited for a variety of reasons, including insufficient coverage, power outages, termination of service and access, environmental conditions, interference, non-payment of applicable fees and charges, unavailability of radio frequency channels, system capacity, upgrades, repairs or relocations, and priority access by emergency responders in the event of a disaster or emergency (collectively “Service Interruptions””). You understand that Service Interruptions to Networks Outside NLSG may result in the Services being unreliable or unavailable for the duration of the Service Interruption. We cannot and do not guarantee that you will receive notifications in any given time or at all. YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT RELY ON THE SERVICES FOR ANY LIFE SAFETY OR CRITICAL PURPOSES. NLSG Smart Home Surveillance will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide high-quality uninterrupted service, but we cannot guarantee 100% uptime. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to educate yourself on how to respond to an emergency and to respond according to the specifics of your situation.
(f) Service Interruptions; Service Level and rebate. The Services may be suspended temporarily without notice for security reasons, system failure, maintenance and repair, or other circumstances. You agree that you will not be entitled to any refund or rebate for such suspensions. NLSG offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee (“Service Level”) for its Smart Home Surveillance, during which time NLSG Smart Home Surveillance will be accessible by at least 95% of NLSG customers. NLSG cannot guarantee the uptime or service quality of Networks Outside NLSG (for example, your home cable internet provider, or in-home wifi network). If NLSG is not able to provide 99.9% uptime for its Smart Home Surveillance, separate from any outages and lack of accessibility caused by Networks Outside NLSG, you will be entitled to a pro-rated refund of fees commensurate with the percent of time in which NLSG’s Smart Home Surveillance is unavailable (as defined above) in any month. Such refund will be provided automatically by NLSG, requiring no action on your part. If you believe you are entitled to such a refund and do not receive it, you may contact NLSG Customer Service.
(g) System Requirements. The Services will not be accessible without: (i) a working Wi-Fi network in your home that is positioned to communicate reliably with the Products and/or connected by an acceptable Ethernet cable; (ii) an Account; (iii) an enabled and supported wireless device, such as a phone or tablet (required for some features and functionalities of the Service); (iv) always-on broadband Internet access in your home with bandwidth sufficient to support the Products you use; and (v) other system elements that may be specified by NLSG. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have all required system elements and that they are compatible and properly configured. You acknowledge that the Services may not work as described when the requirements and compatibility have not been met. If you modify, substitute, move, or otherwise change any of the required system elements, it is your sole duty and responsibility to be sure they are compatible and properly configured to work with the Products and Services. NLSG will make commercially reasonable attempts to support you in diagnosing and fixing any systems or configurations in your home that affect your service, but NLSG cannot be responsible for problems with your in-home internet or Wi-Fi. In addition, you acknowledge that NLSG may activate Bluetooth on your smartphone or tablet, with or without prior notification, in order to facilitate proper operation of the Services, enable communication with NLSG Products connected to the same NLSG account, and enable certain features.
(h) Cellular Back-Up in Case of Wi-Fi Outage. In the event of any Service Interruptions to your home’s Wi-Fi network or internet connection, the Services may be unreliable or unavailable for the duration of the Service Interruption. This means that the NLSG may not receive video from your Smart Home Surveillance Enabled NLSG Products to provide Smart Home Surveillance, and may be unable to dispatch emergency responders in the event of an actual emergency. Further, features and functionalities of the Products and Services may be unavailable on you Mobile App for the duration of the Service Interruption. You may have an option of selecting a cellular back-up subscription plan (“Cellular Backup”) to help improve connectivity in the event of any Service Interruption and decrease the likelihood of interruption of the Services (including Smart Home Surveillance) and access to the various features and functionalities of your Products and Services on your Mobile App.
(i) The Services provide you information (“Product Information”) regarding the Products in your home and their connection with other products and services. All Product Information is provided “as is” and “as available”. We cannot guarantee that it is correct or up to date. In cases where it is critical, accessing Product Information through the Services is not a substitute for direct access of the information in the home.
(j) You acknowledge that all content accessed by you using the Services is at your own risk and you will be solely responsible for any damage or loss to any party resulting therefrom. We cannot control and have no duty to take any action regarding how you may interpret and use the content or what actions you may take as a result of having been exposed to the content, and you hereby release us from all liability for you having acquired or not acquired content through the Services.
(k) You warrant, represent and agree that you will not contribute any content or otherwise use the Services or Products in a manner that (i) infringes or violates the intellectual property rights or proprietary rights, rights of publicity or privacy, or other rights of any third party; (ii) violates any law, statute, ordinance or regulation or is otherwise illegal; (iii) is harmful, fraudulent, deceptive, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, or otherwise objectionable; (iv) impersonates any person or entity, including without limitation any employee or representative of NLSG; (v) contains a virus, trojan horse, worm, time bomb, or other harmful computer code, file, or program; (vi) jeopardizes the security of your NLSG Account or anyone else’s Account (such as allowing someone else to log in to the Services as you); (vii) attempts, in any manner, to obtain or access the password, account, products, devices, systems, or other security information from any other user or third party; (viii) violates the security of any computer network, or cracks any passwords or security encryption codes; (ix) runs Mail list, Listserv, or any form of auto-responder or “spam” on the Services, or any processes that otherwise interfere with the proper working of the Services (including by placing an unreasonable load on the Services’ infrastructure); (x) copies or stores any significant portion of the content; (xi) decompiles, reverse engineers, or otherwise attempts to obtain the source code or underlying ideas or information of or relating to the Services; (xii) denigrates or disrupts any network capacity or functionality; or (xiii) engages in remote monitoring to provide professional medical care for any individual, including without limitation, in any health care and assisted living environment.
(m) Data protection and privacy laws where you live may impose certain responsibilities on you and your use of the Products and Services. You agree that you (and not NLSG) are responsible for ensuring that you comply with any applicable laws when you use the Products and Services, including but not limited to (i) any laws relating to the recording or sharing of video or audio content that includes third parties, or (ii) any laws requiring notice to or consent of third parties with respect to your use of NLSG Cam. You and any Authorized Users have the capability to turn off the audio components of the Products and Services and agree to do so if required by applicable law.
(n) Installation, test and use. It is your responsibility to install and use the Products and Services pursuant to the applicable manual and instructions. IF A PRODUCT IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, OR IF A PRODUCT OR ANY OF ITS SENSORS ARE OUTSIDE THE DETECTION RANGE OR HINDERED OR OBSTRUCTED BY WALLS, FURNITURE, PERSONAL PROPERTY OR OTHER THINGS, YOU MAY EXPERIENCE FALSE ALARMS OR DETECTION FAILURES. It is your responsibility to test the Products once installed per the instructions provided in the Mobile App to be sure the Products (and any related sensors, components and peripherals) are functioning and communicating as intended and designed, and then regularly test and maintain the Products after installation. You further understand that you are responsible for selecting the appropriate locations of your cameras and sensors, and following the NLSG guidelines and rules for placement as provided in the NLSG Mobile App, and instructions and videos from the NLSG customer support site. Such guidelines and rules include ensuring that the cameras are not pointed at private residences or public streets or sidewalks, for example, where such everyday motions and activities would set off unnecessary recording, drain equipment batteries and inappropriately impact monitoring; and that only the areas visible to a NLSG camera and/or sensor (“Field of View”) can be monitored for criminal activity by Smart Home Surveillance. Further, not all of the region of a Field of View can be monitored, for example if a criminal walks into a Field of View, but only 1 pixel is visible of the criminal, NLSG cannot identify the criminal or the potential criminal behavior. In addition, the focus of the Field of View must be limited to your own personal property.
(o) Check batteries regularly. It is your responsibility to replace any batteries for the Products, when necessary and when notified by NLSG either via electronic communication or through the Mobile App. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE PRODUCTS WILL NOT FUNCTION OR PROPERLY FUNCTION IF BATTERIES NEED REPLACEMENT; PLEASE REPLACE THEM AS SOON AS YOU ARE NOTIFIED TO DO SO.
(p) Artificial Intelligence and Algorithms. Artificial Intelligence is a special type of computer algorithm that adjusts to specific types of data. The Algorithms used by NLSG are extremely accurate, but they are not always 100% correct and Events may be misreported or not reported at all. NLSG will continuously make commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and improve its Algorithms. If the Algorithm does not recognize a particular Event, the SMI Team may not be notified and may not be able to contact police or other emergency services. You acknowledge and understand that the Algorithms may not recognize or report an Event that occurs at your home and/or misinterpret the specifics of the situation.
(q) Smart device standards/use only NLSG Certified Third-Party Products or Services. The Products may use various open or commonly available standards or means to communicate and work with smart or connected devices that are also similarly used by other systems or services not manufactured by NLSG, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and IP devices. HOWEVER, SMART, CONNECTED OR OTHER DEVICES AND RELATED SERVICES (“THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES”) THAT ARE NOT DESIGNATED BY NLSG AS COMPATIBLE WITH THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICE MAY NOT WORK WITH THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, OR MAY HAVE LIMITED FEATURES OR FUNCTIONALITY, EVEN IF DESIGNED, SPECIFIED OR MARKETED TO OPERATE USING THE SAME OR SIMILAR STANDARDS OR MEANS OF COMMUNICATION.

(r) Law Enforcement and Emergency Services. You agree that you grant to NLSG and NLSG GUARD CENTER Employees the right to act on your behalf as an agent of You, Your Assigns and Your Property to engage with appropriate law enforcement and/or other emergency services personnel. You grant this right with the understanding that NLSG and NLSG GUARD CENTER Employees will use their sole judgment as it relates to any Event. You grant NLSG and NLSG GUARD CENTER Employees the right to cause to be arrested, or to work with Law Enforcement agencies to cause to be arrested, any person or persons suspected of committing a crime, in their sole judgment, and such right could potentially extend to you, your family, friends, Authorized Users if such persons behavior so warrants.
(s) Response Timeliness. NLSG will use commercially reasonable effort to respond to an Event while it is still in progress as described in NLSG’s NLSG GUARD CENTER Service Levels (Exhibit A). Some events may be crimes, and these crimes may happen so quickly that NLSG does not have time to respond, and NLSG cannot be responsible for these and other things out of their control. Further, you understand that things beyond NLSG control (for example, Networks Outside NLSG as defined herein, etc.) may prevent NLSG or NLSG GUARD CENTER Employees responding in a timely fashion.
(t) Privacy Mode. NLSG Products and Services offer a “Privacy Mode” via a button on the NLSG hub labeled “Privacy” and through Mobile Apps. When Privacy Mode is active, NLSG Smart Home Surveillance is not enabled. When Privacy Mode is enabled, NLSG and NLSG GUARD CENTER Employees cannot provide any services including all services described herein. Furthermore, any video Sensor Data captured by NLSG Products when Privacy Mode is enabled will not be accessed by NLSG GUARD CENTER Employees or NLSG except as required by law.

13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER/JURY TRIAL WAIVER/WAIVER OF PUNITIVE DAMAGES
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF THE REQUIREMENT OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
(a) Arbitration. NLSG and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims that arise from or relate to these Terms or the Services or Products in any way, except for claims arising from bodily injury. THIS ARBITRATION IS MANDATORY AND NOT PERMISSIVE. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted, including, for example:
- claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us that is created by or involves these Terms or the Services or Products, regardless of the legal theory;
- claims for mental or emotional distress or other emotional/mental injury arising from the relationship between us;
- claims that arose before you accepted these Terms (such as claims related to disclosures or the marketing of the Services or Products or the process for seeking approval to use the Services or Products);
- claims that may arise after the termination of your use of the Services or Products or any agreement between us; and
- claims brought by or against our respective subsidiaries, parent companies, members, affiliates, as well as the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, and assigns of these entities, you, and NLSG.
This arbitration agreement does not preclude either of us from bringing an individualized action in small claims court. It also does not preclude either of us from seeking an individualized preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order, pending arbitration, in any court that has jurisdiction. Nor does this arbitration agreement bar you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. In addition, you or NLSG may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect your or its trade secrets and intellectual property rights or to prevent loss or damage to its services in any court with competent jurisdiction.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE, LAW, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT WE ARE EACH (A) WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY; (b) WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION; AND (C) WAIVING THE RIGHT TO CLAIM OR RECOVER PUNITIVE DAMAGES AGAINST THE OTHER. These Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.
(b) Notice of disputes. If either of us intends to seek arbitration of a dispute, that party must provide the other with notice in writing. The notice to NLSG should be sent to: NLSG Legal Department, 100 N. Patterson St., Valdosta, GA 31601. NLSG will send notice to you at the e-mail and/or mailing addresses associated with your account. Your notice to NLSG must (a) provide your name, mailing address, and email address; (b) describe the dispute; and (c) state the relief you are requesting. If we are unable to reach an agreement to resolve the dispute within 60 days after the notice is received, you or we may commence arbitration.
(c) Arbitration procedures. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. If the AAA is unavailable, the parties shall agree to another arbitration provider or the court shall appoint a substitute. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you are receiving NLSG Services. If the value of your claim is $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by telephone, or by an in-person hearing. If the value of your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision or the arbitrability of disputes are for the court to decide. The arbitrator may consider but is not bound by rulings in other arbitrations between NLSG and NLSG users. The arbitrator can award the same individualized damages and relief that a court can award. Judgment on the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction.
(d) Costs of arbitration. The AAA’s fee schedule is subject to change and may be found in the AAA Rules (available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). NLSG will pay all AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration that NLSG commences. If you provided NLSG with 60 days’ notice of your intent to arbitrate before commencing arbitration and the value of your claim is $75,000 or less, NLSG will pay your share of any such AAA fees. If the value of your claim exceeds $75,000, the allocation of AAA fees will be governed by the AAA Rules (unless the law of your state requires NLSG to pay all such fees). If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all AAA fees shall be governed by the AAA Rules. In such cases, the arbitrator may direct you to reimburse NLSG for amounts that NLSG paid on your behalf.
(e) NO CLASS ARBITRATION. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND NLSG AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. Further, unless all affected parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.
(f) 30-Day Opt-Out Period. If you do not wish to be bound by the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions in this section 11, you must notify NLSG in writing within 30 days of the date that you first accept these Terms (unless a longer period is required by applicable law). Your written notification must be mailed to NLSG at the following address: NLSG Legal Department, 100 N. Patterson St., Valdosta, GA 31601. Subject to section 11(g) below, if you do not notify NLSG in accordance with this section 11(f), you agree to be bound by the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions of these Terms, including such provisions in any Terms revised after the date of your first acceptance.
Such notification must include: (a) your name, (b) your NLSG account number, (c) your mailing address, and (d) a statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with NLSG through arbitration. This notification affects these Terms only; if you previously entered into other arbitration agreements with NLSG or enter into other such agreements in the future, your notification that you are opting out of the arbitration provision in these Terms shall not affect the other arbitration agreements between you and NLSG.
(g) Future changes to arbitration provision. If NLSG makes any changes to the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration section of these Terms (other than a change to the address at which NLSG will receive notices of dispute, opt-out notices, or rejections of future changes to the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration section), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to NLSG Legal Department, 100 N. Patterson St., Valdosta, GA 31601. It is not necessary to send us a rejection of a future change to the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration section of these Terms if you had properly opted out of the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions in this section 11 within the first 30 days after you first accepted these Terms.

EXHIBIT A: NLSG’s NLSG GUARD CENTER Service Levels (“NLSG GUARD CENTER Service Levels”)
NLSG GUARD CENTER Employees will make commercially reasonable attempts to respond as quickly to potential crime that they see in the video from NLSG cameras.
These Service Levels capture the time in which NLSG will respond once a behavior starts and is captured by a NLSG camera.
Behavior Event Type | NLSG GUARD CENTER Employee Response Time |
Burglary attempt after hours | 30 seconds |
Robbery attempt after hours | 30 seconds |
Intruder in building after hours | 30 seconds |
Theft of autionin a garage | 30 seconds |
Forced entry into car in a garage | 30 seconds |
Assault or other violent behavior while a person is entering or exiting the property | 30 seconds |
Customer service request | 30 seconds |
Vandalism after hours | 30 seconds |
Trespasser on property after hours | 60 seconds |
Auto-loitering: Standing at a protected car (in a garage) with the car doors closed after hours | 60 seconds |
Door loitering: Standing at an entrance with the door closed after hours | 60 seconds |
Police on property making an arrest after hours | 30 seconds to notify homeowner; NLSG GUARD CENTER Employees will not engage |
Police on property knocking on the door after hours | 30 seconds to notify homeowner; NLSG GUARD CENTER Employees will not engage |
Each of the behaviors indicated by a Behavior Event Type will be identified solely by the NLSG GUARD CENTER Employee using their good judgement based on the information available to the NLSG GUARD CENTER Employee at this time. Such information may be the time of day, the day of week, prior events at this home, images from prior events at the home. The NLSG GUARD CENTER Employee Response Time measures the time of a video streaming from a NLSG Camera to the NLSG GUARD CENTER Employee before the NLSG GUARD CENTER Employee responds. Such response may include talking over the NLSG Camera using 2-way audio, engaging a siren or other audio/visual signal on the NLSG Camera, initiating contact with you the homeowner or contacting law enforcement authorities.
An Example
For example, the NLSG GUARD CENTER Service Level for suspicious behavior is 30 seconds; therefore, if a person is visible in the video from the camera for 3 minutes but only exhibits suspicious behavior after 2 minutes, the NLSG GUARD CENTER Service Level is that an NLSG GUARD CENTER Employee should respond and intervene using either 2-way audio or a siren before 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Alternatively if a person immediately engages in suspicious behavior and the camera begins sending the video to the NLSG GUARD CENTER Employee 5 seconds after the behavior begins, the 30 second NLSG GUARD CENTER Service Level would begin at the time the NLSG begins streaming.
Not Protected Events
If an NLSG GUARD CENTER Employee identifies one of the “Not Protected Events” listed below in his or her sole good judgement, the NLSG GUARD CENTER Employee will not be required to respond, and the NLSG GUARD CENTER Employee may initiate a NLSG GUARD CENTER-Disabled Period for that NLSG Camera for up to 24 hours.
NLSG may send you a message related to this NLSG GUARD CENTER-Disabled Period via the NLSG Mobile App, via email, via phone call or otherwise.
Not Protected Event |
24×7 protection |
Contractor in-building protection |
Protection during business hours |
