Thank you for using Siren Alert (the Service) offered by SirenGPS. You must read and accept the following terms and conditions to register and/or access the Service. Accessing, using or downloading the Service indicates that you agree to these terms and conditions (the Terms). If You do not agree with the Terms, you agree not to use the Service. You understand and agree that the Service is used to support communications with first responders, schools, hospitals, distributors and other entities. In addition, the Service works through a mobile application that may be downloaded from third party services such as Apple or Google. These terms constitute an agreement between you, SirenGPS, and all of these individuals, businesses, or other entities involved in using and/or supporting the Service (collectively the Parties) Whether any of the Parties have a relationship with SirenGPS at the time you agree to these Terms, or at some later time, all of these entities shall be considered third-party beneficiaries of these Terms related to your use of the Service, and may have the right to enforce these Terms in the capacity as third-party beneficiaries. 1. Usage Rights Siren Alert consists of a web-based interface, server system(s), database(s), smart phone applications and related services, that together form an Internet-based communication service. Your participation in the Service is voluntary and may or may not be facilitated through agreements between a subscriber entity with which you may or may not be affiliated (referred to as a Community). As part of the Service, SirenGPS maintains a site on the World Wide Web (the "Web Site"), provides enterprise clients with web-based communication and management tools, and provides end users with mobile device software. Throughout the term of this Agreement, the Service, whether accessed via mobile, browser based, or otherwise, including any ancillary applications, will be referred to as the "Service". SirenGPS grants you a limited, non-exclusive right to use the Service, subject to all of the terms and conditions of these Terms, and any additional terms set forth in related agreements. 2. Limitations The Service may only be used by individuals aged 13 years or older. In the event you are older than 13, but are not legally considered an adult, you are requested to have your parent or legal guardian review these Terms with you to make sure you understand your agreements under the Terms. The Service and all graphics, services, logos, sounds, images, software, and intellectual property therein (together the Materials) are owned and provided by SirenGPS or its affiliates, authors, developers and vendors. All copyrights and patents associated with the Materials are owned solely by SirenGPS, and may not be copied, reproduced, distributed, republished, transmitted, downloaded, photocopied, recorded or otherwise transferred or duplicated without the express permission of SirenGPS. Using the Service does not give you the right to use any of SirenGPS trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or other brand features except in association with your personal use of the Service in accordance with these Terms. You understand and agree that SirenGPS will be solely responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and/or discharging any potential third-party claim that the Service infringes on the intellectual property rights of another. 3. Agreements These Terms, and the terms and conditions in any related agreement, comprise the entire agreement between any participating Community, SirenGPS and you, regarding the Service. If you are authorized to act on behalf of a corporation, group, association or other entity, your agreement shall be binding on that entity. Whether as an individual, or acting on behalf of third parties, these Terms shall refer to you and any entity, individuals or group you represent as you. SirenGPS may revise these Terms at any time, and such revision shall be effective vis-à-vis any non-Community entity (having entered into a separate services agreement with Siren) upon posting or other transmission of the revised Agreement. Public posting shall be effective communication to a user. Users agree to review the Agreement periodically to become aware of such revisions. If any such revision is unacceptable, a user may terminate its membership as provided in Section 10. The continued use of the Service after posting of a revised Agreement shall indicate acceptance of all such revisions. 4. Account Information (a) Account, User ID: When you register for the Service, you will become a Member of the Service and an account will be created for you (your "Account"). The term "Member" herein refers to any person or entity, including you, that has registered for the Service, has entered into an agreement with a Community and/or SirenGPS and is authorized by a Community and/or SirenGPS to use the Service. (b) Passwords: Upon your registration for the Service, you will be issued or will create a password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and you are responsible for any harm resulting from (i) disclosing your password; (ii) allowing another person to disclose your password, (iii) use by any person of your password to gain access to your Account and User ID, and (iv) failure to employ reasonable caution in the development of a password. At no time should you respond to an online request for a password. SirenGPS and/or its employees will never ask for your password online. You acknowledge that although the Service may offer a feature that allows you to "remember" your password and thereby bypass the password protection, this feature makes it possible for third parties to access your Account and User ID. Use of any password bypass feature will be at your own risk and is strongly discouraged. (c) Former Members: Members whose Accounts have been terminated may not access the Service in any manner or for any reason without the express written permission of a current Community and/or SirenGPS. Active Members may not knowingly allow former Members whose Accounts have been terminated to use the active Members' Accounts or User IDs.

These independent content providers, including other Members, are referred to in this Agreement as "Content Providers." (b) Communities and SirenGPS are not liable for Content, or for the failure to remove Content. You, and any user of your Account or User ID, must evaluate, and bear the risk associated with the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any Content.

You agree that you may upload or otherwise transmit on or through the Service only Content that is not subject to any Rights, or Content in which any holder of Rights has given express authorization for distribution on the Service. You bear any risk associated with transmission of protected material and agree to indemnify SirenGPS and any affected Community, on their first demand, for loss arising from your actions. By submitting Content to any area on the Service, you automatically grant (or you warrant that the owner of such Content has expressly granted) to SirenGPS and/or Community the royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and display such Content worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed for the full term including any renewal term of any Rights that may exist in such Content.

You acknowledge that you do not have the right to create, publish, distribute, create derivative works from or use any software programs, utilities, applications, emulators or tools derived from or created for SirenGPS unless specifically authorized in writing by SirenGPS. (e) Conduct and Communication: You, and anyone you authorize to use your Account and User ID on the Service, agree to follow the Rules of Conduct published by SirenGPS and/or Community. The Rules of Conduct may be found on the Web Site. The Rules of Conduct may change at SirenGPS and/or a Community’s discretion, at any time. SirenGPS and/or Community reserves the right to terminate your membership if it determines at their sole discretion that you have engaged in any impermissible conduct whether or not such conduct violates the Rules of Conduct. You acknowledge, however, that SirenGPS does not pre-screen Content or communication over the Service.

SirenGPS does not pre-screen the content of the materials or communications transmitted by each Community or user. 6.
