IMPORTANT: PLEASE REVIEW SECTION 2 SET FORTH BELOW (THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”) CAREFULLY, AS IT REQUIRES YOU TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH TRIUNE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND NOT BY A JURY TRIAL. BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND HAVE TAKEN TIME TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS IMPORTANT DECISION.
2. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER.
BY AGREEING TO THE TERMS, YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO RESOLVE ANY CLAIM THAT YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST TRIUNE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS IN ARBITRATION, AS SET FORTH IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. THIS WILL PRECLUDE YOU FROM BRINGING ANY CLASS, JOINT, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION AGAINST TRIUNE, AND ALSO PRECLUDE YOU FROM PARTICIPATING IN OR RECOVERING RELIEF UNDER ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE CLASS, JOINT, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION BROUGHT AGAINST TRIUNE BY SOMEONE ELSE. INITIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND NOTIFICATION.
You and TRIUNE agree that, prior to initiating an arbitration or other legal proceeding, you and TRIUNE will attempt to negotiate an informal resolution of the Dispute (as defined below). To begin this process, and before initiating any arbitration or legal proceeding against TRIUNE, you must send a Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) by certified mail to the attention of TRIUNE’s Legal Department at the postal address set out in Section 16(h) below. For purposes of these Terms, initiating an arbitration means filing an arbitration demand (“Demand”). Your Notice to TRIUNE must contain all of the following information: (1) your full name, address, and relationship to TRIUNE; (2) a detailed description of the nature and basis of the Dispute; (3) a description of the relief you want, including any money damages you request; and (4) your signature verifying the accuracy of the Notice and, if you are represented by counsel, authorizing TRIUNE to disclose information about you to your attorney.
After receipt of your Notice, you and TRIUNE shall engage in a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute for a period of 60 days, which both sides may extend by written agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Period”). During the Informal Dispute Resolution Period, neither you nor TRIUNE may initiate an arbitration or other legal proceeding.
If the Dispute is not resolved during the Informal Dispute Resolution Period, either party may initiate an individual arbitration as provided below, except for Disputes (i) that may be brought in an individual action in small claims court, or (ii) that relate to the ownership or enforcement of intellectual property rights. In addition, you and TRIUNE each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights. In any such case, your waiver of the right to a jury trial and the class action waiver set forth in this Arbitration Agreement shall continue to apply.
“Dispute” includes any dispute, action, or other controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, between you and TRIUNE concerning the Sites or Terms, whether in contract, tort, warranty, statute, regulation, or other legal or equitable basis. You and TRIUNE empower the Arbitrator with the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of these Terms or the formation of this contract, including the arbitrability of any dispute and any claim that all or any part of the Terms are void or voidable.
CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVERS. BY ENTERING INTO THE TERMS, YOU AND TRIUNE EACH EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. ADDITIONALLY, YOU AND TRIUNE AGREE THAT EACH MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND THAT THERE SHALL BE NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, JOINT, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING OR ON BASES INVOLVING CLAIMS BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR ON BEHALF OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC, OTHER USERS, OR ANY OTHER PERSONS.
As such, you and TRIUNE acknowledge and agree that each waives any right to participation as a plaintiff or a class member in a class action litigation or arbitration, or in any other collective or consolidated action, with respect to these terms. Neither you nor TRIUNE may be a representative of any other potential claimants or class of potential claimants in any such dispute, nor may two or more users’ disputes be consolidated or otherwise determined in one proceeding. This will also preclude you and TRIUNE from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, joint, collective, representative, or consolidated action brought by someone else.
A. Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, and/or the Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings (“AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in the Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the Commonwealth of Illinois.
B. Initiating Arbitration. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration - Consumer Arbitration Rules at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778- 7879.) The Arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in the Commonwealth of Illinois and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the proposed list of arbitrators by the AAA, then the AAA will appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
C. Location and Procedures. If the claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and TRIUNE submit to the Arbitrator, unless you request a hearing and the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If the claim exceeds $10,000, arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online, and your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Proceedings that cannot be conducted through the submission of documents, by phone, or online, will take place in Chicago, Illinois or in another jurisdiction to which you and TRIUNE agree in writing; provided, however, that if circumstances prevent you from traveling to Illinois, the AAA may hold an in-person hearing in the state where you reside. Subject to the AAA Rules, the Arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
D. Arbitrator’s Decision. The Arbitrator will render a written award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules and shall provide a written decision with a statement of reasons if requested by either party. The Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief, but only in favor of the individual claimant, and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. The Arbitrator shall not have authority to entertain any claim on behalf of a person who is not a named party, nor shall the Arbitrator have authority to make any award for the benefit of, or against, any person who is not a named party. The Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. The Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect. You and TRIUNE agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located in Cook County, Illinois in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
E. Procedures for Multiple Case Filings. YOU AND TRIUNE AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF US IS WAIVING THE RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN AN ARBITRATION INVOLVING MULTIPLE CASE FILINGS. TRIUNE’s receipt of twenty-five or more similar Demands for Arbitration (including yours)
where representation of the parties is consistent or coordinated across claims (“Multiple Case Filing”) shall be subject to the additional procedures set forth below. Demands included in a Multiple Case Filing may proceed only in accordance with the procedures set out below, and subject to the AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings (“AAA Multiple Case Filing
Rules”) to the extent not contrary to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. If a court determines that this Section 2(E) is not enforceable as to your Demand, then your claim may only proceed individually in court consistent with these Terms.
(i) Batching: You and TRIUNE agree that your and other individuals’ Demands deemed by TRIUNE to be a Multiple Case Filing may be filed with AAA in batches of no greater than 50 individuals’ claims at one time, with 25 claims (or half of the total number of claims in a batch, if less than 50) selected by counsel for you and other claimants and 25 claims (or half of the total number of claims in a batch, if less than 50) selected by TRIUNE. After your claim is batched and permitted to be filed as a Demand with the AAA, you and TRIUNE agree that selection and appointment of one or more Arbitrators for your Demand shall be governed by the AAA Multiple Case Filing Rules.
(ii) First (Bellwether) Batch: The first batch of up to 50 Demands are the Bellwether Arbitrations. If your Demand is included in the Bellwether Arbitrations, you and TRIUNE shall cooperate with the Arbitrator(s) assigned to your arbitration to resolve your claim within 120 days of the initial pre-hearing conference.
(iii) Stay of Filing of Other Demands: If your Demand is not among those selected for the Bellwether Arbitrations, your Demand cannot be filed until it is assigned to a batch and authorized to be filed in a later stage of this process. No arbitration fees will be assessed on you or TRIUNE in connection with your Demand unless and until it is assigned to a batch and authorized to be filed with AAA.
(iv) Mediation: After the Bellwether Arbitrations are completed, if your Demand remains unresolved, you and TRIUNE agree to mediate your claim along with any other unresolved claims included in the Multiple Case Filing (“Global Mediation”). The mediator will be selected according to the procedure set forth in the applicable AAA mediation procedures. The Global Mediation shall be completed within 120 days of the selection of a mediator, unless extended by written agreement between you and TRIUNE.
(v) Election To Proceed in Court: If Global Mediation is not successful in resolving your claim, and 100 or more claims included in the Multiple Case Filing remain unresolved, you or TRIUNE may opt out of arbitration and elect to have your claim resolved in court consistent with Section 16(c) of these Terms. You or TRIUNE must exercise this election within 45 days of the completion of Global Mediation.
(vi) Sequential Arbitration of Remaining Batches: If neither you nor TRIUNE opt out of arbitration, another batch of no greater than 50 individuals’ Demands will be selected from the Multiple Case Filing, with 25 claims (or half of the total number of claims in a batch, if less than 50) selected by counsel for claimants and 25 claims (or half of the total number of claims in a batch, if less than 50) selected by TRIUNE. If your Demand is included in this next batch of 50 claims, your Demand will be filed with AAA, and you and TRIUNE shall cooperate with the Arbitrator assigned to your arbitration to resolve your claim within 120 days of the initial pre-hearing conference. The process of batching up to 50 individual claims at a time will continue until the parties resolve all claims included in the Multiple Case Filing. No unbatched Demand can proceed to arbitration until the previous batch has been resolved.
(vii) Tolling: For any claim subject to these Multiple Case Filing procedures, any statute of limitations applicable to your claim shall be tolled from the date we receive your Demand until the earlier of (1) the date your Demand is filed with the AAA, or (2) the date you or TRIUNE opts out of arbitration pursuant to Section 2(E)(v).
F. Payment & Fees. You hereby authorize TRIUNE Alert LLC to initiate credit/debit card transactions to adjudicate invoices You process, and fees that associate with your actions within the TRIUNE App. You further authorize your Financial Institution to deduct this payment from your account. You understand that in the event TRIUNE is unable to secure the funds for this transaction from your account for any reason, including but not limited to insufficient funds in your account or insufficient or inaccurate information provided when you submit your electronic payment, further collection action may be undertaken by TRIUNE to the extent permitted by law. You further understand that the submission of this transaction is considered proper authorization by you for TRIUNE to initiate credit/debit card transaction to your account for such fees. In the event of a dishonored payment, your obligation to TRIUNE will remain unpaid. When you add a payment method to your Triune Account, such as a credit card, certain information including, but not limited to device location, device identification number, and card information may be sent to Triune and shared with our payment processor.
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. TRIUNE will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the Arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (based on the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). Likewise, TRIUNE will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (based on the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). The right to recover attorneys’ fees and expenses set forth in the Terms supplements any right to attorneys’ fees and expenses you may have under applicable law. You may not, however, recover duplicative awards of attorneys' fees or costs.
G. Severability. If any part of this Arbitration Agreement, other than the class action waiver, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall be enforceable. The class action waiver is non-severable and if it is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the whole Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void.

To support data accuracy, while minimizing data collection and conserving device battery life, the TRIUNE App operates in thirty-minute (30-minute) increments when checking a Subscriber’s location. This thirty-minute interval may result in the first data point indicating the Subscriber's presence at a hospital being recorded with a variance of plus or minus thirty (30) minutes. For example, if the TRIUNE app checks your location at 7:00 AM CST while you are driving and you arrive at the hospital at 7:05 AM, the first indication logged by TRIUNE will not be at 7:05 AM, but instead at 7:30 AM, corresponding to the next thirty-minute interval. The TRIUNE app utilizes these thirty-minute intervals instead of continuous monitoring to limit the amount of data collected from Subscribers and to prevent rapid battery depletion of your device.

Notifications to Users. Users may experience a delay in notifications from TRIUNE, depending on the users’ cellular device notification settings, which is beyond TRIUNE’s control. Regardless, TRIUNE will continue to operate in thirty-minute increments until a successful notification has reached the user, as such, users’ authorized/emergency contacts will also be notified. The following is a list of well-known reasons why GPS location data may be incorrect, inaccurate, or unavailable:
-
Device in Airplane Mode - If a device is in airplane mode, it may prevent GPS location services from working correctly, as it could disable cellular or Wi-Fi-based location assistance.
-
Device Setting - GPS functionality may be disabled or limited in a device’s settings, especially if location services are turned off or if a device is set to only use approximate location data.
-
Environmental Interference - Areas with strong electromagnetic interference, such as near power plants, cell towers, or dense electronic infrastructure, can distort GPS signals.
-
GPS Spoofing or Jamming - Deliberate interference with GPS signals, such as from GPS spoofing (sending fake signals to mislead a device) or jamming (blocking signals entirely), can result in incorrect or unavailable location data.
-
Interference from Solar Activity - Solar flares or other space weather phenomena can interfere with satellite communication, affecting GPS accuracy.
-
Limited Power or Battery Issues - When a device has low battery power, some features, including GPS accuracy, may be reduced to save energy, affecting location precision.
-
Multipath Effect - GPS signals can bounce off surfaces like buildings, water bodies, or mountains before reaching the device, causing the location to be triangulated incorrectly.
-
Network-Assisted GPS (A-GPS) Issues - Many mobile devices rely on A-GPS, which uses cell towers and Wi-Fi signals to assist in positioning. Poor cellular reception or lack of Wi-Fi can degrade location accuracy.
-
Outdated Maps or Location Data - Sometimes, the GPS is working fine, but the map data is outdated, leading to incorrect positioning or navigation issues.
-
Poor Device Quality - GPS accuracy can be affected by the quality of a device's GPS chip. Low-end or older devices may struggle with precise positioning.
-
Satellite Availability - GPS relies on a minimum number of satellites to accurately calculate positioning. If a device cannot connect to enough satellites (typically at least 4), the accuracy of the location may suffer.
-
Satellite Clock Errors - If the GPS satellites, themselves, have clock errors or malfunctions, it can lead to inaccurate location information.
-
Signal Obstruction - GPS signals can be blocked or weakened by physical obstructions such as tall buildings (urban canyons), dense forests, mountains, tunnels, or being indoors, especially in basements or enclosed spaces.
-
Software or Firmware Issue - If a device’s GPS software or firmware contains bugs or errors, this can cause location data to be delayed, inaccurate, or completely unavailable.
-
Weather Conditions - Heavy rain, thunderstorms, or other severe weather conditions beyond our control can interfere with GPS satellite signals, leading to inaccuracies.

13. SMS/MMS Associated Costs.
When opted into alerts from Triune, Family Health Service LLC, and its affiliated third parties, you will receive text messages (SMS/MMS) to your mobile number. By opting in, you are agreeing to the costs associated with sending and receiving SMS/MMS messages. Message and data rates may apply for any messages sent to you from us, and to us from you. Please contact your wireless provider if you have any questions about your text or data plan.
-
In accepting these Terms of Services you acknowledge that if within the TRIUNE App you add an Authorized Contact, your cellular/mobile device will notify the Authorized Contact, informing them of your decision.
-
Signal may be limited, due to your location within a medical facility, which could cause a delay in notification being sent to your Authorized Contacts.
-
You can opt-out of this service at any time. Simply text “STOP” to the phone number. After this, you will no longer receive SMS/MMS messages from us.

14. Notice on Alert Limitations
In the event a Subscriber's Medical Alert triggers an automatic message to their Authorized Contacts and the Subscriber remains at a hospital facility, Triune will limit the transmission of duplicate notifications by continuously monitoring the Subscriber's location. If the Subscriber remains within the same hospital location, concerning the same incident, no additional alerts will be sent to the Authorized Contacts . This measure seeks to prevent the unnecessary repetition of notifications and messaging to the same individuals for the same incident.
However, if Triune's location monitoring system detects that the Subscriber’s GPS coordinates indicate they have moved and are no longer at a hospital facility, Triune’s system will reset and initiate new notifications and messaging to the Subscriber’s Authorized Contacts in accordance with the established protocol.
​
