3.2 The User must have a Device that is compatible with the App, and is solely responsible for the installation, configuration and maintenance of the App and all related software, hardware and other devices. EMPATICA does not warrant that the App will be compatible with all mobile devices. Standard carrier data charges may apply to the use of the App and/or use of text messaging and User is solely responsible for such charges. The App connects to EMPATICA'S
cloud services over the Internet, which may include connections via wireless and wired networks. Use of the App operates as the User’s consent to the transmission of standard device information (including but not limited to technical information about the Device and application software and/or the User’s wireless services).
3.3 The User shall use the App in accordance with and within the limitations of this Agreement and the instructions for use. The User cannot transfer or grant to a third party their rights deriving from this Agreement without the prior written consent of EMPATICA. The User hereby agrees to adopt any measure necessary to protect the App from any unauthorised use, reproduction, distribution or publication.

You need not register with us to download and install the App. However, in order to access and/or use the App, you must successfully register for an account with EMPATICA. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account password and for all activities that occur when using your account. You agree not to share, let anyone else access or do anything else that might jeopardise the security of your password. You agree to notify EMPATICA if your password is lost, stolen or disclosed to an unauthorised third party, if there is any unauthorised use of your password or account, or if you learn of any other breach of security in relation to EMPATICA or the App.
5. SECURITY AND SAFETY LIMITATIONS
5.1 The App is a notification system with respect to specific events that may be detected by a Wearable connected to the App. The Wearable will collect certain physiologic data and transmit the data to the App.
5.2 Neither the Wearable nor the App are intended to provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment; but rather, are intended to collect data and display such data to the User and any Caregiver(s). The App and Wearable are not a substitute for regular medical care and should not be used to change your treatment plan or other instructions given to you by medical professionals without review and approval, and you will ensure that all appropriate diagnosis, treatment, attention and efforts are made by and for your benefit to maintain your health and wellness. You acknowledge and agree that the App and Wearable are not an adequate substitute for medical treatment provided by medical professionals nor are the App and Wearable capable of providing diagnosis, treatment or assistance in a time of need. Accordingly, monitoring of the User through the App and Wearable may result in delayed assistance in comparison to in-person continuous monitoring.
5.3 Upon activation, you mustconfigure the App by providing contact information for one or more Caregivers for the App to be able to call and/or send a text message to them. As a consequence, if a contact information of a Caregiver is not entered or is entered incorrectly, a call and/or send a text message shall not be sent to that Caregiver. Before providing such contact information, you must ensure that Caregivers are (a) aware that you are providing their contact information to us for the purposes set out in this Agreement and the Privacy Notice, and (b) willing, able, and available to accept and to receive these calls and/or text messages.
5.4 You agree to choose Caregiver(s) who are informed about the risks associated with the events the App might detect. You acknowledge that you will communicate to them that these events may range from no risk to the (low but real) risk of death following an event that the App might (or might not) detect. You agree to ask Caregiver(s) to arrive immediately (within a minute or two, “as fast as possible”) upon the initiation of an event that might trigger an Alert. For these purposes, an “Alert” is a notification (call and/or text message) received by the designated Caregivers through their own Device triggered by the Wearable and App which is intended to alert the Caregivers of potential seizure activity. You agree that EMPATICA and the App do not provide medical advice or diagnosis and that you and your Caregiver(s) will follow the medical advice of medical professionals about what to do upon arrival. EMPATICA cannot verify or influence and shall not be liable in respect of any conduct of the Caregiver(s).
5.5 The User shall indemnify and hold harmless EMPATICA from any claim, action or demand of the Caregiver(s) arising from the use of the App, including any claim resulting from a harmful action or lack of action provided by the Caregiver(s). You acknowledge and agree that, while EMPATICA intends for the App’s features to be highly reliable and available, EMPATICA does not guarantee reliability. EMPATICA cannot guarantee that a call or text message will reach any Caregiver. You acknowledge and agree that the App may fail to work, with unexpected interruptions, including, without limitation, due to reasons such as loss of Bluetooth, low battery of the Device, lack of internet connectivity, lack of network coverage, power outages, equipment failure or breakdown, telecommunication service provider failures, fore-majeure events and third-party software or hardware issues.
5.6 You agree to provide EMPATICA promptly with information on any adverse events experienced through your use of the App and/or Wearable such that EMPATICA is able to satisfy its regulatory obligations on post-market surveillance. Such information should be submitted to the following email address support@empatica.com and shall include a description of the incident, the date of the incident, impact on User (if any) and any other information which is deemed pertinent for the particular adverse incident. Any personal data submitted as part of the submission shall be processed in accordance with our Privacy Notice.
5.7 EMPATICA shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage whatsoever related to the use of the App and/or any Wearable and/or any services provided through the User's use of the Wearable and/or the App.
