Contact your local authority having jurisdiction or consult a qualified professional to assist in the installation, maintenance and location of such detectors.

4. Your Order and Acceptance

Our acceptance of your order will take place when SimpliSafe emails you to indicate our acceptance, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us incorporating these Terms of Service ("Agreement"). If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this by e-mail and will not charge you for any Service. This might be because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the Service or because we are unable to meet a deadline.

You have 14 days after the date we email you to confirm we accept your order to cancel this Agreement in accordance with the cooling off period in clause 12(d). If you cancel in this way after we have started the Services, you must pay us for the Services provided up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind.

5. Commencement of the Services and term

You expressly request that SimpliSafe commences provision of the Services as soon as possible, whether or not this is before the end of any cancellation period that you have under clause 12(d).

After our acceptance of your order SimpliSafe will provide you with the Services on the terms of the Agreement. The Agreement will continue until terminated pursuant to clause 12.  Provision of Services is on a monthly auto renewing term. Once a subscriber’s Service is activated (after any applicable promotion period and any applicable practice period (i.e. 3 or 5 days), SimpliSafe will bill their payment method of choice the monthly fee for said Service for the coming month.  Service billing recurs thereafter on a monthly basis on that same day of the month as the original bill date, unless and until the Service is terminated; for any month where that date does not occur, the subscriber will be billed on the last day of the month.  Subscriptions terminated before the billing date will not create a charge for the coming month.

6. Payment Methods

SimpliSafe accepts credit cards, debit cards and SimpliSafe Gift Cards as forms of payment, in each case as set out on our website. If a credit card is being used for a transaction, SimpliSafe may obtain a pre-approval from the credit card company for an amount up to the amount of the order. Billing to your credit card occurs at the time of purchase or when the order is shipped. If the balance from a SimpliSafe Gift Card is used for a transaction, the amount is deducted from your Gift Card at the time of purchase. If the total amount of the transaction is greater than the balance available on your Gift Card, your credit card will be charged for the balance. We are unable to accept credit cards issued by banks outside the European Union and we may reject credit cards issued by banks outside the United Kingdom. Debit cards and check cards have daily spending limits that may prevent the processing of your order.

7. Service Charges

The periodic service charges applicable to you (which exclude Value Added Tax (“VAT”)) are the charges indicated on the order pages when you placed your order (“Service Charges”). You will be liable to pay an amount equal to VAT on the Service Charges in accordance with clause 8. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the Service Charges advised to you are correct. However please see below for what happens if we discover an error in the Service Charges advised to you.

SimpliSafe reserves the right to change the Service Charges offered at any time, and does not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price drop or promotional offering.

If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the Products, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, the Services Charges stated on our order pages are incorrect. We will normally check the Service Charges before accepting your order so that, where the correct Service Charges at your order date are less than the prices stated to you, we charge you the lower amount. If the correct Service Charges at your order date are higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the Agreement and refund you any sums you have paid.

SimpliSafe may increase the Service Charges at any time under this Agreement by sending the notice to you by email to the email address on file with SimpliSafe for your current online account or by a notice on its website at https://simplisafe.co.uk.

You must pay SimpliSafe the Service Charges monthly in advance. You authorize SimpliSafe to charge your credit/debit card for the periodic (e.g. monthly, quarterly or annually) service charge when due. If any charges are declined, SimpliSafe shall resubmit the charges for approval and notify you of the declined charges by e-mail while continuing to provide Services for ten (10) days. If any charges are not approved or you do not make payment, SimpliSafe may, in its sole discretion, discontinue providing Services without notice.

8. Value Added Tax

In addition to the Service Charges you must also pay an amount equal to the VAT payable on the supply of the Services based on the delivery address and the rate in effect at the time your Service is supplied. We will charge you all applicable VAT and SimpliSafe has the right to collect any tax it believes it is obliged to collect.

9. SimpliSafe Gift Cards

SimpliSafe gift cards ("Gift Cards") are for transactions on the SimpliSafe website only. VAT will not be charged when the Gift Card is purchased. VAT is charged when the Gift Card is redeemed.

Our Services will be provided in accordance with these Terms of Service. It is important that you understand the limitations set out in herein and in our Terms of Sale. We will not be liable for any loss not caused by failure of the Services to meet the standards required by this Agreement.

There is no guarantee of any response by the emergency services.

We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us where we do not meet the terms of this Agreement. If we fail to comply with this Agreement, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this Agreement or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the Agreement was made, both we and you knew it might happen.

We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes (without limitation) liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

We only provide the Services for domestic and private use. If you use the Services for any business, commercial purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss that relates to a business including but not limited to any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

For example, you may request that, upon the receipt of signals from your System, the monitoring facility notify you of such activity (via live operator telephone call, text message or other form of electronic communication) in addition to or in lieu of providing the Emergency Dispatch Services described in Section 23. We will honor any such request provided that we have previously agreed in writing to do so. You also agree to pay SimpliSafe for such additional equipment or services.

The Verification Services are provided and shall be used by you solely for the verification of alarm events at the Premises and no other purpose.

Where we provide you with Emergency Dispatch Services, such Services shall be provided in accordance with clause 26 – 29 of this Agreement and consist solely of monitoring facility personnel telephoning the governmental authorities ("Authorities") or other persons provided by you ("Responsible Parties") or any company that provides on-site response services (“Third Party Responders”) upon the receipt of signals from your System reporting specific conditions ("Listed Codes") at the Premises. We shall provide Emergency Dispatch Services only for Listed Codes. Our obligation to provide Emergency Dispatch Services shall be satisfied by monitoring facility personnel contacting (or attempting to contact) the Authorities or Responsible Parties or Third Party Responders or by leaving a voicemail or similar type message with the Authorities or Responsible Parties or Third Party Responders. Emergency Dispatch Services are intended to reduce the risk of a burglary, robbery or other events occurring at the Premises but are not a guarantee such events will not occur or that there will be no personal injury or property loss as a result. The monitoring facility will not contact (nor attempt to contact) any Third Party Responder on your behalf ("Guard Dispatch Services") unless you have specifically contracted with us to provide such service, or you have specifically requested that we provide such service (and we have agreed in writing to do so). Examples of where you might desire Guard Dispatch Services that the monitoring facility attempt to contact a Third Party Responder include situations (i) where the Premises are located in a jurisdiction in which the applicable Authorities will not respond to alarm signals at the Premises absent prior verification of an actual alarm event, or (ii) where you desire a faster response time than what might otherwise be provided by the applicable Authorities. Regardless of the circumstances, however, you acknowledge that, upon receipt of signals from your System, the monitoring facility will not contact (nor attempt to contact), nor have any obligation to contact, any Third Party Responder unless you have previously contracted with us to provide Guard Dispatch Services such service or you have previously requested that we provide Guard Dispatch Services such service (and we have agreed in writing to do so).

27. Consent to Communicate

The Emergency Dispatch Services require that we communicate with the Responsible Parties. Our communication may take different forms, including a live operator telephone call, a pre-recorded telephone message using an auto-dialer, an SMS or other form of text message or some other form of electronic communications. We will communicate with a Responsible Party at the telephone number you provide us, including any mobile phone number or residential landline number. You will (i) inform the Responsible Parties that we will communicate with them at such numbers; and (ii) obtain permission from the Responsible Parties that we may communicate with them at these telephone numbers. You will indemnify, defend and hold us harmless (without any condition that we first pay) for any loss, damage or expense ("Losses"), including our reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with, due to or caused in whole or in part by, any claims asserted against us in connection with or as a result of our communications with any of the Responsible Parties, including any claim under any law, including the General Data Protection Regulation, Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003. By purchasing Services and/or accept these terms, you indicate and acknowledge your consent for SimpliSafe to send you Notifications in connection with the SimpliSafe Services via SMS/text message or via the SimpliSafe mobile app (collectively, “Messaging Services”).  You also acknowledge and consent to SimpliSafe sending you Notifications which SimpliSafe may reasonably deem to help you with any necessary account / Service set up steps that are required to fully activate your Services.

28. Alarm Verification Prior to Dispatch

Upon receipt of a Listed Code and before calling any Authorities or Responsible Parties or any Third Party Responder, monitoring facility personnel may, in their sole discretion, take any one or more of the following steps in an attempt to verify the need to report the Listed Code to the Authorities or any of the Responsible Parties or any Third Party Responder, (collectively, the "Alarm Verification Steps"): (i) telephone or attempt to telephone the Premises, (ii) if we have access to Real-Time Services or Recorded Services, receive, retrieve and review video from the System, (iii) intercept or retrieve and listen to oral communications or other audio from the System; or (iv) undertake such other reasonable steps to verify the need to report the Listed Code.

In addition, if monitoring facility personnel are unable to verify the need to report a Listed Code to the Authorities or any of the Responsible Parties or any Third Party Responder, monitoring facility personnel shall have no obligation to report such Listed Code. Monitoring facility personnel shall have no obligation to review or monitor any audio or video from the System for any time that is not immediately before or after receipt of a Listed Code.

29. Alarm Cancellation

Upon receipt of any current cancellation code set in accordance with the Owner's Manual for the System or oral advice (confirmed by safe word) to disregard the receipt of a Listed Code, monitoring facility personnel may, in their sole discretion, determine not to report a Listed Code to the Authorities or any of the Responsible Parties or any Third Party Responder.
