The maintenance of your mobile and computer devices is your responsibility.

We do not assume any liability for inaccuracies or mistakes in the operation of the alert as it may pertain to your health or overall wellbeing. We also do not assume any liability due to a fall or a seizure. The Service is simply provided to alert you, not to give specifics on the severity of any such accident or fall.
