Terms of Use

Date of Last Revision: October 4, 2018

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") describe the terms under which you may access and use the mobile and web-based messaging and telecommunication services (the "Services") provided by RMS Software, Inc. ("RMS")

The Services are a set of applications accessed through the web or mobile devices, the features of the Services vary based on which applications are licensed by RMS to various companies, organizations, schools and government entities (“Clients”) and to which you are granted access and for which you register. These Terms may be modified by RMS at any time without prior notice. Changes to the Terms will be posted on this page, and this page will indicate at the top the date these Terms were last revised. You agree to be bound by any such modifications once they are posted on this web site (the "Site"), and your continued registration to use, or use of, the Services following any such posting constitutes your acceptance of such modifications.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS.

Messaging

By registering for this Service you will periodically receive text messages. The frequency of these messages will depend on how you use this Service, and how frequently the Client sends messages through this Service. Message and data rates may apply. There is no guarantee of SMS delivery.

Alerts sent via SMS may not be delivered to you if your phone is not in range of a transmission site, or if sufficient network capacity is not available at a particular time. Even within a coverage area, factors beyond a carrier’s control may interfere with message delivery, including the customer's equipment, terrain, proximity to buildings, foliage, and weather. You acknowledge that urgent alerts may not be timely received and that carriers do not guarantee that alerts will be delivered.

Carriers are not responsible for delayed or undelivered messages.

Eligibility; Term

You must be eighteen (18) years of age or older to register for the Services and to use the RMS applications and Services. If you are under the age of 18, then an adult must also agree to these Terms with you or on your behalf. Use of the Services and the RMS applications and Services is void where prohibited. Any registration by, use of or access to the Site or the Services by anyone under 13 is unauthorized, unlicensed and in violation of these Terms. You are responsible for obtaining access to the Services and acknowledge that such access may involve third party fees (such as Internet service provider, SMS, mobile data usage or other airtime charges). You are responsible for any such fees and any and all equipment necessary to access the Services. By agreeing to these Terms or by using the Services, the Site and the RMS applications and Services, you represent and warrant that you have the right, authority, and capacity to enter into these Terms and to abide by all of the terms and conditions hereof. These Terms shall remain in full force and effect until your registration is terminated. RMS, at its sole discretion, may restrict or terminate your use of the Services for any reason, at any time. If RMS restricts or terminates your use of the Services because you have breached these Terms, you shall remain obligated under these Terms.

Registration

As part of the registration process, you or, with your consent, the Client must provide certain data and personal information (such as name, address, telephone number, account number, equipment identifiers, and Internet Protocol address that you or the Client makes available to RMS) about you (collectively, "PI"). You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of your PI, whether provided to RMS by you or by the Client, and that the effectiveness of the Services will depend in part upon the accuracy and completeness of your PI. You agree to (a) provide to RMS and the Client accurate, current and complete PI and (b) maintain and promptly update such PI to keep it accurate, current and complete. You further agree that RMS or the Client may, but is not obligated to, contact you from time to time through the Services or otherwise to verify the accuracy and completeness of your PI.

You will utilize a password that will enable you to access the Services. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur through the use of your password. You agree to immediately notify RMS of any unauthorized use of your password or any other breach of security. You agree that the Client (if applicable), RMS or the wireless carrier providing access to the Services shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the foregoing.

Member Conduct

You acknowledge and agree that RMS or the applicable Client (for whom you are a constituent) each has the right, but not the obligation, to monitor, review and delete any messages, images or any other content that you publish, display or otherwise transmit directly or indirectly through the Services or the Site (“User Content”) that in either of their sole judgment violates these Terms, might be offensive or illegal, or might violate the rights of, harm, or threaten the safety of others. You further agree to abide by any applicable Client terms and polices regarding or relating to the use of the Services. You agree that RMS shall have the right to suspend or remove any member who violates these Terms or any such policy at any time and without advanced notice to the member.

In the event that any User Content that violates the foregoing is posted on or through the Services or you are otherwise exposed or subject to offensive, indecent, objectionable, or otherwise damaging User Content, you agree that you shall hold harmless and waive any right to damages from the Client, the wireless carrier providing access to the Services or RMS related to such User Content. You further agree that you will notify the Client, if applicable, of such User Content.

Emergency Response Contact Service – Additional Terms

The Services may include a feature alerting an emergency response service (such as 9-1-1 or a private or public security force or emergency personnel) of a possible emergency. If this type of emergency response contact service is part of the Services provided to you, you expressly consent to RMS’s disclosure of PI to any emergency response service or other emergency personnel in connection with the Services. You acknowledge that neither the Client (if applicable) nor RMS is responsible for any such emergency response services nor guarantees the accuracy, integrity or quality of any emergency response service.

You acknowledge that any emergency response contact service included as part of the Services is not intended to replace or as a substitute for traditional 9-1-1 service or contacting a police or security force or other emergency personnel directly and that you are responsible for determining whether to use RMS’s emergency response contact service or a traditional 911 service, or whether to contact a police or security force or other emergency personnel directly.

Links

The Client may, based upon the applications it licenses from RMS, provide links to other websites or resources of possible interest to members. Because RMS and the Client have no control over such websites or resources, you acknowledge and agree that the Client and RMS are not responsible for the availability of such websites or resources, and do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such websites or resources. You also acknowledge and agree that neither the Client nor RMS shall be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such content, goods or services available on or through any such websites or resource.

Your ability to opt out of these communications will be governed by applicable laws, the Client’s policies and RMS’s policies. By using the Services, you agree that RMS and the Client may communicate with you by SMS, MMS, telephone, email or other means and that information about your usage of the Services may be communicated to RMS by wireless carriers and other service providers.
