3. Membership Plans & Services
3.1
Intentionally left blank.
3.2 24/7 Emergency Monitoring Services
Medical Guardian’s 24/7 monitoring services consist of trained monitoring personnel (“Personnel”) receiving signals from your Device and notifying the emergency responders, agencies, and contacts you have designated in writing (“Responders”). Monitoring is provided 365 days per year, 24 hours per day.
Upon receiving a Response Condition (a signal or communication from your Device indicating a need for assistance), Personnel may, in their sole discretion: (a) attempt to contact you or the registered premises prior to alerting Responders; (b) contact one or more designated Responders in the order you have specified; and/or (c) contact emergency services (911) if circumstances appear to warrant immediate dispatch. The 911 emergency services line is an alternative to the Device and Services at all times.
3.3 Fall Detection
IMPORTANT: Fall detection technology is not designed to and does not detect 100% of falls and is an additional safety layer not a replacement for pressing the help button. If you are physically able to press your help button in an emergency, always do so. Fall detection is particularly recommended for individuals with conditions such as epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, or multiple sclerosis, but does not guarantee detection for these or any other conditions.
Fall detection activation is subject to Device model compatibility and must be added or enabled at time of enrollment or through the Medical Guardian Member Portal. Medical Guardian disclaims all liability for falls or emergencies that fall detection does not detect, regardless of Device model or configuration.
3.4 Device Capabilities & Network Dependency
Specific Device capabilities, including GPS location accuracy, WiFi-assisted location, cellular connectivity, water resistance, battery life, and two-way voice communication, vary by Device model. Please refer to your Device’s product documentation for model-specific specifications. Medical Guardian’s Services depend in part on third-party cellular carrier networks (including AT&T and others). Medical Guardian does not guarantee uninterrupted service and is not responsible for interruptions attributable to carrier networks, power outages, signal interference, geographic coverage gaps, network congestion, or other third-party infrastructure failures. All portable Devices must be charged regularly and other Devices must be connected to power, and you agree that it is your responsibility to keep the Device(s) adequately charged or powered at all times. Failure to adequately charge your Device(s) will render them inoperable until the Device is recharged.
3.5 Health Plan & Insurance Partnerships
Medical Guardian may offer enrollment options or potential reimbursement pathways through Medicare Advantage plans (Part C), Medicaid programs, employer benefit programs, or other health plan partnerships. Eligibility, coverage amounts, copays, and benefit structures are determined solely by your health plan and applicable plan documents. Medical Guardian makes no representations or warranties regarding any plan’s coverage determinations, reimbursement decisions, or eligibility findings. Members are solely responsible for verifying their own eligibility with their health plan prior to enrollment. Medical Guardian is not responsible for changes to your health plan coverage that affect your out-of-pocket costs.
3.6 AI-Powered Features & Health Insights
Certain features of the Services may use artificial intelligence, machine learning, or algorithmic processing to generate health insights, activity summaries, or personalized recommendations. These AI-powered features are provided for informational and wellness purposes only and do not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or clinical recommendations. You should not make healthcare decisions based solely on AI-generated insights without consulting a licensed healthcare professional. Medical Guardian makes no representation regarding the accuracy or completeness of AI-generated outputs, which may contain errors or reflect limitations in the underlying data.
3.7 Third-Party Devices
Medical Guardian may offer you the opportunity to use third-party devices, such as the OURA Ring. If you elect to use such devices, you agree to be bound by the third-party’s Terms and Conditions required by the third party, and in addition to our Terms and Conditions, you agree that you have read and agreed to their Terms and Conditions. For instance, the OURA Ring Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policies are located here: https://ouraring.com/terms-and-conditions and https://ouraring.com/privacy-policy.
All limitations in liability, warranty information, and requirements for use of these devices stated on the third-party websites are incorporated herein and apply to us and your use of the device(s) as part of our Services.
4. Ordering, Pricing & Payment
4.1 Order Acceptance
All orders for Devices and Services are subject to acceptance by Medical Guardian. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order at our discretion, including in cases of pricing errors, suspected fraud, product unavailability, or system errors. An order is not confirmed until you receive a written order confirmation from Medical Guardian. Medical Guardian may require additional verification before processing orders placed through third-party health plan portals or partner channels.
4.2 Pricing & Price Changes
Device prices and membership fees are set forth on the Site or in your order confirmation at the time of purchase. Medical Guardian reserves the right to change pricing at any time. For active memberships, Medical Guardian will provide at least thirty (30) days advance written on our website and if we have your email address through a notice via email to the address on file before any fee increase takes effect on your account. Your continued use of the Services following the effective date of a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing. If you do not accept a price change, you may cancel your membership as set forth in Section 5.
4.3 Billing & Auto-Renewal
AUTOMATIC RENEWAL NOTICE: Membership fees are billed on a recurring basis in accordance with your selected billing cycle (monthly, quarterly, or annual). YOUR MEMBERSHIP WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW at the end of each billing period unless you cancel in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement. By enrolling in a membership, you expressly authorize Medical Guardian to automatically charge your designated payment method for each successive billing period at the then-current rate until your membership is cancelled.
In compliance with the FTC’s Negative Option Rule (effective January 14, 2025), Medical Guardian will: (a) clearly disclose all material terms of the recurring charge before obtaining your billing information; (b) obtain your express informed consent to automatic renewal before charging you; and (c) provide a simple cancellation mechanism that is as easy to use as the method you used to sign up.
4.4 Prorated Refunds for Prepaid Plans
For annual or other prepaid billing plans, any unused portion of the prepaid monitoring period beyond the three-month minimum commitment will be refunded on a prorated basis, less any applicable restocking fees, following confirmed cancellation and Device return (where required). Medical Guardian issues prorated refunds for unused Services; partial billing period refunds are not available for monthly plans except as required by applicable law.
4.5 Payment Methods & Authorization
Medical Guardian accepts major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), debit cards, and other payment methods as indicated during checkout. HSA and FSA cards may be accepted for eligible product categories; please verify eligibility with your plan administrator. By providing a payment method, you represent that you are authorized to use it and authorize Medical Guardian (or its third-party payment processor) to charge the full amount of your purchase, including applicable taxes and fees. If a payment fails, is declined, or cannot be verified, Medical Guardian may suspend Services until valid payment is received. Medical Guardian is not responsible for overdraft fees, foreign transaction fees, or other charges imposed by your financial institution.
4.6 Taxes & Surcharges
You are responsible for all applicable federal, state, and local taxes, fees, and surcharges associated with your purchase. Medical Guardian will collect and remit sales tax where required by applicable law. Prices displayed on the Site may not include tax; your final order confirmation will reflect applicable taxes. Medical Guardian may collect a reasonable surcharge for the use of credit cards in addition to the amount of the Services and Devices you have selected. You may avoid a surcharge by using an alternate form of payment, such as a debit card or an ACH transfer directly from your bank account.
4.7 Promotional Offers & Free Trials
Promotional pricing, free trial periods, referral credits, and limited-time offers are subject to their specific terms disclosed at the time of the promotion. Unless otherwise stated, free trials that are not cancelled before the trial period expires will automatically convert to paid subscriptions at the applicable membership rate. Medical Guardian reserves the right to modify or discontinue any promotion at any time. Promotional discounts and credits cannot be combined, transferred, or exchanged for cash unless expressly stated otherwise.
5. Term, Cancellation & Returns
5.1 Minimum Service Commitment
All memberships are subject to a minimum three-month (90-day) service commitment, beginning on the date your payment is successfully processed or Services are first rendered, whichever is earlier. This minimum commitment applies regardless of Device receipt date or activation date. Early cancellation within the minimum period does not relieve you of your obligation to pay for the full three-month minimum.
5.2 How to Cancel
Medical Guardian provides the following cancellation methods:
- Phone: By calling Medical Guardian customer service at 1-800-313-1191
- Written: By mailing written cancellation notice to Medical Guardian, Attn: Cancellations, 1818 Market Street, Suite 1200, Philadelphia, PA 19103
Cancellations will be confirmed in writing (via email or letter) within a commercially reasonable timeframe. You will continue to have access to Services through the end of your current paid billing period following confirmed cancellation. Continued billing may occur until cancellation is confirmed and, where applicable, until a leased Device is received by Medical Guardian, whichever period is longer.
5.3 Leased Device Returns
If your Device is leased (not purchased outright), the following return terms apply upon cancellation or termination:
- Return Address: Medical Guardian, 106 Henderson Drive, Sharon Hill, PA 19079 (at your expense)
- Cancellation is effective and billing ceases upon Medical Guardian’s receipt and processing of the returned Device, which may take up to thirty (30) calendar days.
- Non-Return Fee: If the Device and accessories are not returned within thirty (30) days following your cancellation notice, you expressly authorize Medical Guardian to charge a one-time fee of $350.00 to your payment method on file, representing the replacement cost of the Device and accessories.
- Restocking Fee: A restocking fee of up to $50.00 may be deducted from any applicable refund.
5.4 Purchased Device Cancellations
If you purchased your Device outright, a Cancellation Letter will be provided via standard mail or electronic delivery following your request. Purchased Devices are not subject to the $350.00 non-return fee. Monitoring service fees continue to accrue until your written cancellation is confirmed. Medical Guardian is not obligated to repurchase or accept returns of purchased Devices following the applicable return window set forth in Section 5.6 below.
Medical Guardian’s return window does not apply to promotional or refurbished Devices where otherwise stated.
5.6 Cancellation by Medical Guardian
Medical Guardian may suspend or terminate your Services and this Agreement at any time in its sole discretion, including for: non-payment, violation of any provision of this Agreement, fraudulent or abusive use of the Services, misrepresentation of information, repeated non-emergency activations, or any other conduct detrimental to Medical Guardian or other Members. Upon termination, Medical Guardian is not liable for any injury, loss, or expenses incurred as a result of terminated Services. Reactivation of terminated Services is at Medical Guardian’s sole discretion and may require payment of a reconnection fee at the then-current rate.
5.7 State-Specific Cancellation Rights
Certain states impose additional or different cancellation, refund, or auto-renewal disclosure requirements. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or shall, waive any rights you may have under applicable state law, including but not limited to California’s Automatic Renewal Law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code 17600 et seq.), New York’s Automatic Renewal Statute, or other state consumer protection laws. To the extent any provision of this Agreement conflicts with applicable mandatory state law, the applicable state law controls with respect to residents of that State or Commonwealth.
6. Devices & Equipment
6.1 Leased Devices Ownership & Care
Leased Devices remain the exclusive property of Medical Guardian at all times. You are responsible for the reasonable care, safekeeping, and proper use of any leased Device during the lease period.

Certain Devices require a compatible smartphone, operating system version, or active cellular network connection to access full functionality, including GPS location and two-way communication.

Some updates may be applied automatically; others may require user action through the App. You are responsible for maintaining compatible software versions on personal devices used with the Services. Medical Guardian is not responsible for reduced Device functionality resulting from your failure to install available updates, operating system incompatibilities, or third-party app conflicts.
6.4 Emergency Button Use & False Alarms
Your Device is intended for genuine emergency use. Accidental activations are understood and will not result in penalties unless they become a persistent pattern. Medical Guardian reserves the right to assess reasonable fees for repeated, demonstrably non-emergency dispatch activations consistent with applicable state laws and regulations. If you or your care recipient experiences repeated accidental activations, contact Medical Guardian support to discuss sensitivity adjustments, wrist or clip placement options, or Device alternatives. You are responsible for any fees, charges, surcharges, or penalties imposed upon your use of the Devices, for Emergency Response, by any city, county, State or other governmental entity.

Medical Guardian does not dispatch its own emergency personnel and has no control over the response time, availability, competence, or conduct of third-party emergency services, including 911 operators, paramedics, fire departments, police, or your designated emergency contacts.
Medical Guardian is not responsible for: (a) the failure of any third-party emergency responder to respond, arrive in time, or provide adequate care; (b) the failure of your designated Responders to be available or respond appropriately; (c) service interruptions caused by power outages, equipment failures, cellular network outages, or other circumstances beyond Medical Guardian’s reasonable control; or (d) any injury, loss, or damage occurring after Services have been terminated for any reason.
8.2 Liability Cap

SOME STATES DO NOT PERMIT THESE LIMITATIONS; IN THOSE STATES, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY ONLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
8.4 Essential Basis of Bargain
You acknowledge that the limitations on liability in this Section 8 reflect a reasonable and fair allocation of risk between you and Medical Guardian, and that Medical Guardian would not enter into this Agreement without these limitations. These limitations are an essential basis of the bargain between the parties and shall apply regardless of the form of action and whether a claim is in contract, tort, strict liability, or any other legal or equitable theory.
8.5 Force Majeure
Medical Guardian shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including: acts of God, natural disasters, flood, fire, earthquake, pandemic or epidemic, war, terrorism, governmental action or restriction, labor disputes, power failures, telecommunications outages, cyberattacks, third-party carrier network failures, or any other cause beyond Medical Guardian’s reasonable control. In such events, Medical Guardian’s performance obligations will be suspended for the duration of the force majeure event.
9. Communications, Consent & TCPA
9.1 Your Consent to Communications
By providing your telephone number(s) during enrollment or at any time in connection with the Services, you expressly consent to receive communications from Medical Guardian, its affiliates, authorized dealers, and agents through automated or manual means at the number(s) you provided.

To be added to Medical Guardian’s internal do-not-call list, contact us at 1-800-313-1191 or support@medicalguardian.com.

9A. AI-Powered Outbound Communications
9A.1 Call Recording & Two-Party Consent
AI-powered outbound calls placed on Medical Guardian’s behalf may be recorded for quality assurance, compliance monitoring, AI model training, and business purposes. By continuing on any such call after a recording disclosure is provided, you consent to the recording of that conversation.
Medical Guardian is headquartered in Pennsylvania, a two-party (all-party) consent state under the Pennsylvania Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Control Act (18 Pa. C.S. 5703). Medical Guardian’s AI Communication Partners operate call recording systems compliant with Pennsylvania law and the laws of all applicable two-party consent states, which include: California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Washington. Call recording disclosures will be provided at the outset of any recorded AI-assisted call. Conversations are stored securely and retained for the period required by applicable law and Medical Guardian’s data retention policies.
Where AI-generated conversations are used to train or improve AI models, Medical Guardian will ensure that any such use is: (a) disclosed in Medical Guardian s Privacy Policy; (b) conducted only with data that has been appropriately anonymized or de-identified where required by applicable law; and (c) subject to appropriate data processing agreements with AI Communication Partners.
9A.2 A2P 10DLC Registration & SMS Compliance
All AI-generated or AI-assisted SMS and MMS messages sent on Medical Guardian’s behalf are transmitted through Application-to-Person (A2P) 10-digit long code (10DLC) channels registered with The Campaign Registry (TCR) and approved by major U.S. wireless carriers, including AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. By consenting to receive SMS communications from Medical Guardian, you acknowledge that:
- Messages are sent via registered A2P channels and may be subject to carrier throughput limits and content filtering
- Message and data rates may apply depending on your wireless carrier plan
- AI-generated SMS content aligns with Medical Guardian’s registered campaign use cases and approved message templates. Variations from approved templates may result in carrier filtering; Medical Guardian is not liable for undelivered messages attributable to carrier filtering or network conditions

9A.3 AI-Generated Email Communications
AI-generated or AI-assisted email communications sent by or on behalf of Medical Guardian comply with the CAN-SPAM Act (15 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) and applicable state email marketing laws. All commercial AI-generated emails will: (a) clearly identify Medical Guardian as the sender in the “From” field; (b) include a valid physical postal address; (c) include a clear, functional unsubscribe mechanism; and (d) honor opt-out requests within ten (10) business days. AI-generated emails used for personalized outreach (such as lead follow-up, enrollment nurture sequences, or re-engagement campaigns) will be clearly identified as originating from Medical Guardian and may indicate when AI-assisted personalization has been applied to the message.
9A.4 AI Agent Accuracy & Hallucination Disclaimer
9A.5 Authorized AI Communication Partners & Vendor Accountability
Medical Guardian expressly authorizes its AI Communication Partners, including Apten and any successor or replacement AI communication platforms (“AI Vendors”), to place outbound calls, send SMS messages, and send emails on Medical Guardian’s behalf, using the contact information and applicable consent you have provided to Medical Guardian. This authorization is required under the FCC’s one-to-one consent framework to ensure that contacts made by AI Vendors are legally attributed to Medical Guardian as the identified seller, rather than the AI Vendor acting independently.
Medical Guardian requires all AI Vendors to: (a) comply with applicable federal and state laws governing automated communications, including the TCPA, CAN-SPAM Act, and applicable state AI disclosure laws; (b) operate only within the scope of Medical Guardian’s approved use cases, registered campaign descriptions, and consent records; (c) honor opt-out and do-not-contact requests within required timeframes; (d) maintain appropriate data security standards consistent with the handling of Member personal information; and (e) enter into data processing agreements with Medical Guardian governing the use and protection of any Member data accessed in connection with outbound communications. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Medical Guardian remains responsible to you for communications made by AI Vendors on its behalf, and any dispute arising from an AI Vendor’s communication may be directed to Medical Guardian at support@medicalguardian.com or 1-800-313-1191.
9A.6 AI Communication Opt-Out & State-Specific Rights
You may revoke your consent to receive AI-generated communications at any time, separately from or in addition to revoking general automated communication consent, by: (a) texting STOP to any AI-generated SMS; (b) stating clearly during any AI call that you do not wish to be contacted by automated or AI systems; (c) updating your communication preferences in the Medical Guardian Member Portal; or (d) contacting Medical Guardian at 1-800-313-1191 or support@medicalguardian.com. Revocation of AI communication consent will be processed within 10 business days and will not affect your ability to receive essential safety, monitoring, or account notifications delivered by live human agents.
The following state-specific protections apply to AI-generated communications and supplement the general TCPA provisions in this Agreement:
- Florida: Written consent is required for AI-initiated telemarketing calls. Consent cannot be bundled with other agreements and must specifically identify Medical Guardian and the purpose of the communication.
- Virginia: Text message opt-out requests are honored for a minimum of ten (10) years pursuant to Virginia SB 1339. Statutory damages of $500 per violation may apply for non-compliance. Medical Guardian maintains opt-out records for the required period.
- Texas: Text messages are treated as “telephone solicitations” under Texas SB 140 (effective September 2025). Violations may trigger the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, including potential treble damages for willful violations.
- California: AI-generated communications may be subject to CCPA/CPRA automated decision-making disclosure requirements. Residents have the right to opt out of AI-based profiling used in certain commercial contexts. Disclosures are provided in Medical Guardian’s Privacy Policy.
- Utah: Medical Guardian complies with Utah’s Artificial Intelligence Policy Act disclosure requirements for AI interactions in regulated service contexts, including disclosures that AI is being used when required by the Act.
State AI communication laws are rapidly evolving. Medical Guardian monitors legislative and regulatory developments and updates its practices accordingly.

Nothing in this Agreement waives any consumer rights available under applicable state law.

Participation in the Medical Card program is voluntary. You are solely responsible for determining what information is included in your Medical Card Profile and for ensuring that such information remains accurate, complete, and current.
10.4 Device-Generated Health Data
Your Device may automatically collect health and wellness data, including: step counts, heart rate, sleep patterns, biometric information, GPS location, activity levels, fall events, and button activations. You authorize Medical Guardian to collect, store, process, and use this data to provide, improve, and personalize the Services, and as otherwise described in the Privacy Policy. Medical Guardian implements commercially reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your data. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure; Medical Guardian cannot guarantee absolute security and is not liable for unauthorized access that occurs despite reasonable security measures.

This data sharing is an essential and non-waivable element of the monitoring Services.

In addition, if you elect to participate in the Medical Card program, you expressly authorize Medical Guardian to make your Medical Card Profile available to individuals who access the profile through the QR code associated with your Medical Card.
10.6 HIPAA
Medical Guardian (and any third-parties acting as an agent of Medical Guardian for the provision of the Services) may be subject to certain HIPAA obligations as a business associate to covered health plan partners (including Medicare Advantage and Medicaid plan partners). To the extent applicable, Medical Guardian and any third-party agents will comply with HIPAA’s Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule with respect to Protected Health Information (“PHI”) as set forth in applicable Business Associate Agreements (“BAAs”). Members enrolled through a covered health plan should be aware that their PHI may be subject to that plan’s Notice of Privacy Practices as well as Medical Guardian’s Privacy Policy.

10.7 State Health Privacy Laws
In addition to HIPAA, various state laws govern the collection and use of health and biometric data, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), Washington s My Health MY Data Act (MHMDA), and others. Medical Guardian’s Privacy Policy describes your rights under applicable state laws, including rights to access, correct, delete, or opt out of certain uses of your personal information. To exercise your state privacy rights, submit a request to privacy@medicalguardian.com or through the Medical Guardian Member Portal.
10.8 Data Retention
Medical Guardian retains health and account data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to fulfill legal, regulatory, safety, and business purposes, including but not limited to responding to legal claims, conducting post-market safety surveillance, and complying with applicable medical device and service regulations. Following account deletion, Medical Guardian will retain certain data for the minimum period required by law and will thereafter securely destroy it. For specific retention periods, refer to the Privacy Policy.
10.9 Express Consent / Acknowledgement
By creating, maintaining, updating, activating, or using a Medical Card Profile, you expressly consent to the disclosure of that information through the QR code associated with your Medical Card.

16. Dispute Resolution & Binding Arbitration
16.1 Informal Resolution First
In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy (“Dispute”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Services, or the Devices, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the Dispute informally. To initiate informal resolution, contact Medical Guardian at: support@medicalguardian.com or Medical Guardian, LLC, Attn: Dispute Resolution, 1818 Market Street, Suite 1200, Philadelphia, PA 19103. Medical Guardian will attempt to respond to and resolve your Dispute within thirty (30) days of receipt of your written notice. Good faith participation in this process is a condition precedent to initiating arbitration.
16.2 Binding Arbitration
If the Dispute is not resolved through informal means within thirty (30) days, you and Medical Guardian agree to resolve the Dispute through final, binding, and confidential arbitration rather than in court, except as set forth in Section 16.4. By agreeing to arbitration, BOTH YOU AND MEDICAL GUARDIAN ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and, where applicable, its Consumer-Related Disputes Supplementary Procedures. A single neutral arbitrator will hear and determine the Dispute. The arbitration proceeding, all filings, and the arbitrator’s decision shall be kept strictly confidential. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. In rendering an award, the Arbitrator shall not award any damages that are punitive, speculative, incidental, indirect, special, consequential, or exemplary. In all arbitrations, the substantive law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall apply, and any arbitration shall be conducted in the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The location and manner of arbitration (in-person, telephonic, or document-based) will be determined in accordance with the AAA’s rules. Reasonable costs and fees for the arbitration will be allocated as provided by AAA rules. Medical Guardian will not seek attorneys fees from you in connection with any consumer arbitration unless the arbitrator finds your claim to be frivolous.
16.3 Class Action & Jury Trial Waiver
YOU AND MEDICAL GUARDIAN EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. NEITHER YOU NOR MEDICAL GUARDIAN MAY BRING A CLAIM AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. IF FOR ANY REASON A DISPUTE PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN ARBITRATION, BOTH PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
16.4 Exceptions to Arbitration
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending the establishment or completion of arbitration. Claims that qualify for small claims court under applicable rules may proceed in small claims court without prior informal resolution. Nothing in this Section prevents either party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration.
16.5 Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to any conflict of law principles. For any matters not subject to arbitration, you consent to personal jurisdiction and exclusive venue in the state and federal courts located in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. To the extent state consumer protection laws of your state of residence provide greater rights than Pennsylvania law in connection with any specific provision, those state laws may apply.
16.6 Statute of Limitations
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any Dispute must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action arose, or such claim is permanently barred. This limitation does not apply to claims that cannot be shortened by contract under applicable law.
17. Modifications to This Agreement
If you do not agree to the modified Agreement, you must cancel your Services in accordance with Section 5 before the effective date of the change. Your continued access to or use of the Services after the effective date of any modification constitutes your acceptance of the revised Agreement. It is your responsibility to check the Site periodically for updates to this Agreement.
18. General Provisions
18.1 Entire Agreement
This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy, any applicable order confirmation, applicable BAAs, and any documents expressly incorporated by reference, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Medical Guardian with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous discussions, representations, agreements, and understandings, whether oral or written. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and an order confirmation, the order confirmation controls with respect to pricing and Device-specific terms only.
18.2 Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is found by a Court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if it cannot be so modified. All remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalidity of a specific provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.
18.3 Waiver
Medical Guardian’s failure to enforce any right or provision of this Agreement in any particular instance shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision and shall not prevent Medical Guardian from enforcing such right or provision in the future. No waiver by Medical Guardian of any breach of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent or other breach.
18.4 Assignment
You may not assign, transfer, or delegate any of your rights or obligations under this Agreement without Medical Guardian’s prior written consent. Any purported assignment without consent is void. Medical Guardian may freely assign or transfer this Agreement, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of Medical Guardian’s assets, with notice to you.

18.8 Relationship of the Parties
The relationship between you and Medical Guardian is that of independent contracting parties. Nothing in this Agreement creates or implies any partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, franchise, or fiduciary relationship between the parties.
18.9 Export Compliance

EXHIBIT A
PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY OF KEY TERMS
1. What You’re Buying
You are enrolling in a Medical Guardian membership that includes a wearable device and 24/7 emergency monitoring service. If you press your Help Button (or if automatic fall detection triggers), our monitoring center calls you, then your emergency contacts, then 911 if needed. Important: This is not a substitute for calling 911. If you can dial 911 directly in an emergency, do so. Fall detection is not designed to and does not detect 100% of falls.
2. Your Monthly Charge Renews Automatically
Your membership fee is charged to your payment method on file and automatically renews every billing period (monthly, quarterly, or annually) until you cancel. We will notify you at least 30 days before any price increase takes effect. You must cancel before the next billing date to avoid being charged for the next period. If you pay annually and cancel after the 3-month minimum, we will refund the unused portion minus a restocking fee of up to $50.
3. 90-Day Minimum & How to Cancel
There is a 3-month (90-day) minimum commitment from your first payment. After that, you can cancel anytime using any of these methods:
- Phone: Call 1-800-313-1191 (Mon Fri 8am 8pm ET, Sat 9am 5pm ET)
- Mail: Write to Medical Guardian, Attn: Cancellations, 1818 Market Street Suite 1200, Philadelphia, PA 19103
4. Returning Your Device
Leased device (most common): You must return the device to Medical Guardian, 106 Henderson Drive, Sharon Hill, PA 19079 at your expense. Your account remains active and billing continues until we receive the device. If we don t receive it within 30 days of your cancellation request, we will charge $350.00 to the card on file.
Purchased device: You keep the device. No $350 fee applies. You will receive a cancellation letter, and billing stops once your cancellation is confirmed. New purchases can be returned within 10 days of receipt for a full refund if not yet activated.
5. Your Data & Privacy
Your device collects health and location data (steps, biometric, heart rate, GPS, fall events, button presses) to provide the Services. In an emergency, we share your name, address, medical history you ve provided, and Device location with 911 and your emergency contacts. We protect your health information consistent with HIPAA. We do not sell your personal data. For the full picture, see our Privacy Policy at www.medicalguardian.com/legal/privacy. To exercise privacy rights (access, deletion, opt-out), email privacy@medicalguardian.com.
6. Calls, Texts & Emails From Us
By giving us your phone number and email, you agree we may contact you about your account, safety alerts, and with your separate consent promotions. Some of our outbound calls, texts, and emails are generated or assisted by AI (including Apten). Any AI call will identify itself as automated at the start. You can always ask to speak to a live person. To stop marketing texts, reply STOP. To stop marketing emails, click unsubscribe. Calls and texts may be recorded; by staying on the call you consent to recording. Message and data rates may apply.
7 Insurance & Medicare Coverage
Original Medicare (Parts A & B) does not cover medical alert systems. Some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans, including Wellcare and Centene, may cover or reimburse all or part of the cost but this varies by plan. It is your responsibility to verify your coverage before enrolling. Medical Guardian makes no guarantee that your plan will cover your costs. HSA and FSA funds may be eligible for device purchases; check with your plan administrator.
8. Disputes & Your Rights
If you have a problem, please call us first at 1-800-313-1191; we want to resolve it. If we can t work it out within 30 days, disputes are resolved through binding arbitration rather than in court, and on an individual (not class-action) basis. You waive the right to a jury trial. This is governed by Pennsylvania law. Your state may provide additional consumer protections that still apply to you.
9. Medical Card
If you choose to use our Medical Card, the QR code on the card may display health and emergency information that you provide. Anyone who scans the QR code may be able to view that information. You are responsible for keeping the information accurate and deciding what information to include.
