We hold the sole right to modify the Terms of Service without prior permission from You or providing notice to You. The relationship creates on You a duty to periodically check the Terms of Service and stay updated on its requirements. If You continue to use the Website/App or avail any of its services without registration following such change, this is deemed as consent by You to the so amended policies.

The RESQ BUTTON App is a companion App for the Panic ResQ Button, Location ResQ Button and Tracker ResQ Button Hardware to communicate with our cloud services ResQ Cloud Engine. When You install the App and click the accept button the ResQ Cloud Engine services are available on the App.
You must provide certain devices, software and data connections in order to use our product(s) and services, which are otherwise not supplied by us. For as long as you use our product and services you consent to downloading and installing, both automatically and otherwise updates to the App on your device.
The Panic/Location/Tracker ResQ Button hardware has been designed for normal wear and tear. As a user it is your responsibility to not physically tamper and damage the device which otherwise may become inoperable. The hardware has a built-in battery which may or may not require recharge. If a product requires recharge or replacement of batteries we shall inform you in advance. The battery usage of each product is determined by how much time, the hardware was used as calculated by the ResQ Cloud Engine. There are chances that you might have drained the battery without connectivity to the ResQ Cloud Engine causing the product inoperable when required. All hardware devices do not have direct connectivity to the ResQ Cloud Engine, and may use one or more phones in the vicinity of the signal and use a co-operative app’s help to forward it to the ResQ Cloud Engine. You shall ensure that for effective usage of ResQ Hardware in conjunction with ResQ Cloud Services you shall have data connectivity on the device. Use of the hardware product requires the ResQ Hardware device to be always in the vicinity of the signal range of one or more devices with the App. You shall ensure that the ResQButton App device has its Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and location services switched on.
Neither the ResQ Button App nor the https://resqbutton.io website provide emergency services. Based on the emergency or as requested by you or your emergency contacts or volunteers and emergency responders might call police or other emergency service providers directly from their phone. We can only inform police for the jurisdiction where they have SMS capable number and you have provided the details to us. We shall not be responsible or liable for you making repeatedly hoax calls to police and other emergency responder department. Any civil and criminal proceedings initiated by those departments or other legal entities for false activations, shall be re-directed to you.
PANIC RESQ BUTTON HARDWARE has a built-in a battery which has a life-time of 24 months from the first use or 200 activations whichever comes earlier to notify your emergency contacts. Replacing the battery or opening the Panic ResQ Button Hardware will void the warranty and service terms. Location accuracy is determined based on the device(s) picked up the distress signal. In order to avoid repeated rapid activations, the Panic Button Hardware has a fail safe mechanism to disable activation for 5 minutes from the previous activation. Once the Panic ResQ Button Hardware is activated, it will do an auto shut-off after an hour to conserve the battery.
TRACKER RESQ BUTTON HARDWARE is used to track an object, asset or people whereabouts, accuracy of the location is guaranteed as long as the signal from the button is picked by your designated devices. If you are planning to use this to track your employees either their work hours and whereabouts it is your responsibility to check the local laws before using for their intended purposes. If you are planning to track any individual you take responsibility on the applicable privacy laws.
LOCATION RESQ BUTTON HARDWARE is used to mark micro geo-locations with certain characteristics to provide some information about the location and hence use of navigational and content information is not authenticated/verified by the “Company”. Any information provided by such Location ResQ Button Hardware is not the responsibility of the “Company”.
You shall be responsible for all carrier data plans and other fees and taxes associated with your use of our hardware, software products and services. We may charge you for our Services, including applicable taxes. In case you refuse and/or cancel orders we do not provide a refund for our services. When you agree to install the ResQ Button App you agree to incur data and network charges for communicating with the website or other services required for the proper operation of the ResQ Button App. This might also include sometimes picking up signals from other ResQ Button Hardware not owned by you.
To be a Volunteer in the ResQ Button App is a privilege not a right. When you opt for being a volunteer to help someone in an emergency, you indemnify the Company and do not hold us responsible for any injury, disability or death sustained by you as a result of “Company” asking to you to help someone, this includes any eventuality happens to you on the way to the help someone. If a volunteer ends up becoming a participant in a crime we shall disable such a volunteer for violation of our terms.
