  1. Contact. 

By providing your Personally Identifiable Information (as defined below) to Sentinel, you are consenting to be contacted by Sentinel or its affiliates by telephone, email, text, mail or other methods of electronic communication based on the information you have provided to us, even if you have opted into the National Do Not Call List administered by the Federal Trade Commission or any state equivalent Do Not Call List. You may have the opportunity to give to us contact information of other individuals that you would like to receive notifications relating to our Products that you use. Such additional individuals may be required to assent to the terms of this Agreement and the Privacy Policy. If you no longer want to receive communications from us or an affiliate, you must notify us directly. “Personally Identifiable Information” includes, but is not limited to, your name, address, phone number, fax number, email address and credit card information. Notwithstanding the above, Personally Identifiable Information does not include information that is collected anonymously (i.e., without identification of the individual user) or demographic or use information not connected to an identified individual.

  1. Identity Verification; Account and Password. 

User verification on the Internet is difficult and we cannot and do not confirm each user’s purported identity. We may now or in the future allow you to maintain an account to facilitate your transactions on the Site or as a condition to receive our Services. If you register for an account, you are responsible to maintain your account identification number, password and any card or similar item (“Account ID”) with care to avoid inadvertent disclosure or unauthorized use. You must immediately select a new Account ID and password if you believe your password may have become known to an unauthorized person. You are responsible for all uses of your account, whether or not authorized by you. You may not use the account, username, or password of anyone else at any time. You acknowledge that Sentinel and its members, managers, employees, contractors, representatives, agents and affiliates will have no liability to you for any unauthorized transaction made on your account. Further, we may suspend or cancel your Account or your access to the Site at any time even without receiving notice from you if we suspect that your account and/or password is being used in an unauthorized or fraudulent manner.

  1. Remote Access Service and Scene Scheduling. 

You may receive real-time notifications and utilize other features, functionalities and benefits of our Products and Services (“Remote Access Service”) through a compatible portable enabled electronic device, like a mobile device, smart phone or tablet, or through a personal computer (“Electronic Device”). Such notifications include without limitation alerts when our Products detect a leak or alerts of technical difficulties such as no device connection to Wi-Fi.  It is your sole responsibility to assure that your Electronic Device is at all times compatible with our Products and Services and are connected to Wi-Fi.  Sentinel is not responsible for lost or faulty internet connections, issues of incompatibility, and any acts of user override, all of which may negatively hinder or thwart our Products’ ability to detect water leaks and/or abort, end early, or prevent from starting our Services and notifications of water leaks to you and/or your designated contacts.  

When using the Remote Access Service, it is your responsibility to monitor your Products and Electronic Device and to ensure that our notifications (including any leakage event messages or incompatible notifications) can be relayed to you and/or your designated contacts. Further, it is your responsibility to determine the appropriate response to all information, events and other notifications you receive while using the Remote Access Service, and you accept that you are entirely responsible for your response and that of your designated contacts (if any). You accept full responsibility for any costs while using the Remote Access Service.  If you select to receive notifications via texts, you acknowledge that there may be SMS restrictions or fees based on your cellular service provider.  

You are fully responsible for establishing the settings of our Product(s) and Remote Access Service.  Such settings include without limitation the default  mode of our Products (i.e., home, away or standby), trip time (i.e., amount of time water is allowed to flow before automatic shutoff) and trip rate (i.e., percentage of water flow that must be exceeded before the trip time begins counting does to shut off) (collectively, “Scene”) that you would like our Products to go back to after conducting a scheduled service (“Fallback Scene”).  You acknowledge that the Fallback Scene settings may impact the effectiveness of our Products and Services. Sentinel does not evaluate your settings and is not liable in any way for your setting’s resulting level of water security.   Additionally, you acknowledge that if a scheduled service or Scene takes place while our Products are counting down to an “alarm state,” the countdown clock will be reset.  As a result, a leak may flow longer before our Products enter an alarm state and sends you a notification.

  1. Access; Alleged Violations.

To ensure that Sentinel provides a high quality experience for you and for other users of the Site, you agree that Sentinel or its representatives may access your Account and records on a case-by-case basis to investigate complaints or allegations of abuse, infringement of third party rights, or for other matters for which Sentinel deems access is necessary in its sole discretion.

  1. Affiliated Sites. 

Sentinel has no control over, and no liability for any third party websites or materials that may be accessed through the Site. Because neither Sentinel nor the Site has control over the content and performance of third party sites, Sentinel makes no guarantees about the accuracy, currency, content, or quality of the information provided by such sites, and Sentinel assumes no responsibility for unintended, objectionable, inaccurate, misleading, or unlawful content that may reside on those sites.

  1. Indemnity. 

You will indemnify, defend and hold Sentinel, our affiliates, officers, directors, managers, members, legal representatives, employees and agents harmless from loss, liability, costs, damages or expenses from any and all claims, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all claims, liabilities, judgments, losses, damages, costs, charges, attorney’s fees, and other expenses of every nature and character arising out of or related to (a) your improper use of the Site or (b) your breach of this Agreement and/or any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement.

  1. Arbitration. 

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. Subject to the arbitration provision below, any legal actions related to this Agreement and/or the Site, or your use thereof, shall be brought and conducted in San Diego County, California, and you hereby consent to such jurisdiction and authorize and accept service of process sufficient for personal jurisdiction in any action contemplated by this section. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach or termination hereof shall be settled by binding arbitration conducted by JAMS (“JAMS”) in accordance with JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”). The arbitration shall be heard by one arbitrator to be selected in accordance with the Rules, in San Diego County, California. Judgment upon any award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. All parties waive the right, if any, to obtain any award for exemplary or punitive damages or any other amount for the purpose or imposing a penalty from the other in any arbitration or judicial proceeding or other adjudication arising out of or with respect to this Agreement, or any breach hereof, including any claim that said Agreement, or any part hereof, is invalid, illegal or otherwise voidable or void. In addition to all other relief, the arbitrator will have the power to award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party.  

  1. Attorney’s Fees.  

The prevailing party in any litigation, arbitration, bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding (“Proceeding”) relating to the enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement may recover from the other party all costs, expenses, and actual attorney’s fees (including expert witness and other consultants’ fees and costs) relating to or arising out of (a) the Proceeding (whether or not the Proceeding proceeds to judgment), and (b) any post-judgment or post-award proceeding including, without limitation, one to enforce or collect any judgment or award resulting from the Proceeding.  All such judgments and awards will contain a specific provision for the recovery of all such subsequently incurred costs, expenses, and actual attorney’s fees.

You agree that you have voluntarily chosen to visit the Site and use the Services and any claim brought by you must be brought in your individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”). Both you and Sentinel hereby expressly waive any rights to maintain any Class Action in any forum. The arbitrator shall not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. YOU HEREBY AGREE THAT THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO YOUR USE OF ANY ASPECT OF THIS SITE AND APPLIES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO ANY CIVIL CLAIMS YOU COULD HAVE PURSUED AGAINST SENTINEL, INCLUDING ANY CIVIL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE PRIVACY POLICY INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE HEREIN. YOU AGREE THAT BY YOUR VOLUNTARY USE OF THIS SITE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW YOU HAVE WAIVED YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AS A MEMBER OF ANY CLASS, AND HAVE AGREED TO PURSUE ANY CIVIL CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST SENTINEL INDIVIDUALLY BY THE TERMS OF THE BINDING ARBITRATION DESCRIBED ABOVE.

  1. Severability. 

If any provision of this Agreement shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this Agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Our failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor the right to enforce such provision.
