Thank you for visiting REACH and, if applicable, choosing to download and/or install our App. Please read these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy carefully, as you must agree to both documents in order to have permission to use our Service.
Throughout this Agreement, we may use certain words or phrases, and it is important that you understand the meaning of them. The list is not all-encompassing and no definition should be considered binding to the point that it renders this Agreement nonsensical:
REACH offers a platform that keeps you connected to family and friends if you are in an emergency. When you need help, our Products will send your location information to your emergency contacts.
In order to use our Service, you must meet a number of conditions, including but not limited to:
REACH is provided as a useful, potentially lifesaving tool, but may not be perfect for all needs. Your use of REACH is not a substitute for a Personal Locator Beacon or any other radio-capable emergency location transmission device. You agree to hold REACH harmless for any loss which may arise from or relate to your reliance on our Service.
You must not:
Payment for our Service can be made by means of an Apple in-App purchase or credit card. Unless otherwise stated, all prices are listed in United States dollars.
Because our Service is intangible, all fees and charges are non-refundable.
Additional terms surrounding payment, pricing, and refunds may be published on our Site, in our App, or otherwise communicated by us to you, and are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
Where a User conducts a chargeback against REACH, such User shall be liable to REACH for the full amount of the chargeback, as well as any reasonable attorneys’ fees, collection agency fees, court costs, disbursements, and other expenses incurred by REACH in its enforcement of its rights under this section.
Our Service functions as a Software as a Service and, as such, may be unavailable from time to time due to technical issues. Such unavailability may be due to a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, technical, legal, security, or business issues. You agree that such periodic unavailability will not entitle you to any refund or other compensation, and that REACH shall not be liable for any loss that you may incur as the result of the unavailability of our Service. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, REACH is almost always available and such unavailability will only occur in exceptional circumstances where we believe there is no other reasonable alternative to address a given issue.
By subscribing to our Service, you agree that you are paying for a limited license to use our Service subject to this Agreement, our Privacy Policy, and any applicable laws. You must not attempt to reverse engineer, redistribute, or otherwise tamper with or copy the software that we provide you.
We may revoke our license to you at any time by notifying you, at which point you agree that you shall take all necessary steps to remove our software and its derivative data from any hardware under your possession or control. In such cases, we shall be liable to you to refund any subscription fees that you have paid us on a pro rata basis, unless such revocation occurs after you have breached this Agreement, in which case we shall not be liable to refund you in any way whatsoever.

WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY OF OUR SERVICE OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE RELEASING US FROM ANY LIABILITY THAT WE MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO YOU IN RELATION TO OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR OUR SERVICES, FOR REASONS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FAILURE OF OUR SERVICE, NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER TORT. TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW RESTRICTS THIS RELEASE OF LIABILITY, YOU AGREE THAT WE ARE ONLY LIABLE TO YOU FOR THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF DAMAGES THAT THE LAW RESTRICTS OUR LIABILITY TO, IF SUCH A MINIMUM EXISTS.
YOU AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY THIRD PARTIES WHO MAY USE OUR SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PEOPLE WHO COMMIT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT, DEFAMATION, TORTIOUS INTERFERENCE WITH ECONOMIC RELATIONS, OR ANY OTHER ACTIONABLE CONDUCT TOWARDS YOU.
YOU AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FAILURE ON THE PART OF A PAYMENT PROCESSOR TO DIRECT PAYMENTS TO THE CORRECT DESTINATION, OR ANY ACTIONS ON THEIR PART IN PLACING A HOLD ON YOUR FUNDS.
YOU AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE OF THE GOODS OR SERVICES OF OUR COMPANY OR A THIRD PARTY, INCLUDING ANY FAILURES OR DISRUPTIONS, UNTIMELY DELIVERY, SCHEDULED OR UNSCHEDULED, INTENTIONAL OR UNINTENTIONAL, ON OUR WEBSITE WHICH PREVENT ACCESS TO OUR WEBSITE TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY.
THE PROVISION OF OUR SERVICE TO YOU IS CONTINGENT ON YOUR AGREEMENT WITH THIS AND ALL OTHER SECTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THE PROVISIONS OF THIS “REPRESENTATIONS & WARRANTIES” SECTION SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO LIMIT THE GENERALITY OF THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THIS SECTION.
For Jurisdictions that do not allow us to limit our liability: Notwithstanding any provision of these Terms, if your jurisdiction has provisions specific to waiver or liability that conflict with the above then our liability is limited to the smallest extent possible by law. Specifically, in those jurisdictions not allowed, we do not disclaim liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by its negligence or that of any of its officers, employees or agents; or (b) fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any liability which it is not lawful to exclude either now or in the future.
IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF A JURISDICTION THAT REQUIRES A SPECIFIC STATEMENT REGARDING RELEASE THEN THE FOLLOWING APPLIES. FOR EXAMPLE, CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS MUST, AS A CONDITION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WAIVE THE APPLICABILITY OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH STATES, “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR." YOU HEREBY WAIVE THIS SECTION OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY SIMILAR PROVISION IN LAW, REGULATION, OR CODE THAT HAS THE SAME INTENT OR EFFECT AS THE AFOREMENTIONED RELEASE.
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless for any claims by you or any third party which may arise from or relate to this Agreement or the provision of our service to you, including any damages caused by your use of our Site or acceptance of the offers contained on it. You also agree that you have a duty to defend us against such claims and we may require you to pay for an attorney(s) of our choice in such cases. You agree that this indemnity extends to requiring you to pay for our reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, and disbursements. In the event of a claim such as one described in this paragraph, we may elect to settle with the party/parties making the claim, and you shall be liable for the damages as though we had proceeded with a trial.
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws in force in the Province of Ontario, Canada. The offer and acceptance of this contract are deemed to have occurred in the City of Toronto in the Province of Ontario.
This section limits your right of redress to us in accordance with the rights given to you under s. 7 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2002.
You agree that any disputes arising from or relating to this Agreement or any acts or omissions by REACH will be heard solely within the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario – Small Claims Division (“Small Claims Court”) and that, even if the damages to which you are entitled exceed the monetary jurisdiction of the Small Claims Court, and even if you are entitled to equitable relief or other relief not eligible to be granted by the Small Claims Court, you will waive those excess monetary damages or equitable relief and bring the action in the Small Claims Court.
You agree that we are not responsible to you for anything that we may otherwise be responsible for, if it is the result of events beyond our control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, insurrection, riots, terrorism, crime, labor shortages (including lawful and unlawful strikes), embargoes, postal disruption, communication disruption, unavailability of payment processors, unavailability of third party services used to carry or provide REACH (such as mobile network providers), failure or shortage of infrastructure, shortage of materials, or any other event beyond our control.
In the event that a provision of this Agreement is found to be unlawful, conflicting with another provision of the Agreement, or otherwise unenforceable, the Agreement will remain in force as though it had been entered into without that unenforceable provision being included in it.
If two or more provisions of this Agreement are deemed to conflict with each other’s operation, REACH shall have the sole right to elect which provision remains in force.
REACH reserves all rights afforded to us under this Agreement as well as under the provisions of any applicable law. Our non-enforcement of any particular provision or provisions of this Agreement or any applicable law should not be construed as our waiver of the right to enforce that same provision under the same or different circumstances at any time in the future.
We may terminate your access to our Site and Service at our discretion without explanation, though we will strive to provide a timely explanation in most cases. Our liability for refunding you, if you have paid anything to us, will be limited to the amount you paid for goods or services which have not yet been and will not be delivered, except in cases where the termination or cancellation was due to your breach of this Agreement, in which case you agree that we are not required to provide any refund or other compensation whatsoever.
Under no circumstances, including termination or cancellation of our Service to you, will we be liable for any losses related to actions of other Users.
You may not assign your rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any other party without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any other party at our discretion.
We may amend this Agreement from time to time. When we amend this Agreement, we will e-mail you to notify you that there has been an amendment. You must read this page each time that you use our Service, and your continued use of our Service shall constitute your acceptance of any such amendments.
