LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

1. Note that all terms not defined herein are as defined in the Terms and Conditions of Use.  The terms below can also be found in the Terms and Conditions of Use.
2. Safety Measures.

This section discusses the limitations of the Service and your responsibility to remain vigilant regarding Your pool. 

The Service is not a substitute for proper supervision and care related to swimming pools.  By accepting the Service, you are agreeing that you will not use the Service as the sole means of pool supervision, and indeed, will not rely on it whatsoever. 

You agree that the Service is a supplemental system to aid in the detection of a possible drowning event, and nothing more. You understand that as a technology system, it is limited by many factors, and it cannot replace the vigilance and care of a human being, it does not have the ability to rescue someone drowning, and it cannot provide medical attention.  It cannot prevent a drowning or damage from drowning.

The purpose of the system is to alert you of certain behavior that is indicative of a drowning event and to alert you promptly so that You can act on it.  By accepting the Service, You are representing that you are knowledgeable of all safety measures incumbent upon a pool owner, that You have implemented them, and that You will continue to remain vigilant regarding the supervision of the pool and the safety of people in and around the pool.  Some safety measures include, for example, maintaining adult supervision at all times; having a certified lifeguard supervise under certain circumstances; never leaving children unattended near or in the pool; maintaining a fence or other means to block entry into the pool area, etc.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the LifeGuard Parties make no warranty: (i) that the Services will be uninterrupted or error free or that the Equipment will work as intended; and (ii) that the Services, Equipment or Software are compatible with any Subscriber owned- or provided-Equipment. Subscriber has the sole responsibility to secure Subscriber’s communications and the LifeGuard Parties will not be liable for any loss associated with unauthorized access to the Subscriber’s communication systems.

3. You acknowledge and agree that:

1. There is always a risk of injury and death when swimming.
2. While the Service is intended as an aid in the detection of a possible drowning incident, it is expressly not intended as a substitute for the good judgment, care, vigilance, and awareness that is always required when swimming. Human attention by those present at Your pool is the first and most important line of detection.    You acknowledge that the Service cannot and does not replace human attention and alertness and is intended as nothing more than an additional support in the detection of drowning, and You will never rely on the Service to be the primary source of drowning detection. You understand that any individual, whether a child or adult, should not be left alone in or near Your pool and should always be accompanied by another adult.  You agree to treat activities in and around Your pool with the same level of care as the vigilance a careful and loving parent would exercise (regardless of who is in or around Your pool), and that You will never consider the Service as a substitute for that level of human care and caution.

• You assume all risks, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of Lifeguard or others, and assume full responsibility for swimming and other activities in and around Your pool.
