11. Lively Services

11.1 Lively Urgent Response

11.1.1 How Lively Wearable Works With Urgent Response

In the event help is needed, pushing the button on your Lively Wearable device will alert Lively Urgent Response through your connected smartphone using the Lively app. Calls with Lively Urgent Response are made through your compatible smartphone using the Lively app and use wireless plan minutes like a normal cellular call. For Android and iOS applications, your connected smartphone will automatically place an outgoing call to Lively Urgent Response. In some cases, Apple iOS, Lively Urgent Response will place an incoming call to your connected smartphone that you must answer to connect.

Lively Urgent Response is only available in the United States. Lively Urgent Response IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR 9-1-1, and in fact, if Lively Urgent Response conferences in 9-1-1 emergency services on your behalf, there could be a delay in reaching 9-1-1 emergency services. The Service will only work if your account is current on payment and if your device is charged, turned on, has network access, and Lively Urgent Response is enabled. Lively Urgent Response may not be available in remote or enclosed areas.

You agree that once you enroll in a Lively Health and Safety plan, we will be able to track your approximate location whenever your Lively Wearable is paired and connected by Bluetooth to your compatible, powered-on smartphone. You agree that we can provide this information to third-party service providers and authorized Lively Link contacts in case of an emergency or service incident. However, we cannot guarantee that we can track your exact location, and, in some cases, we may only be able to provide the information provided in your Personal Emergency Profile.

11.1.2 Your Use Of 5Star Urgent Response

You promise not to use Lively Urgent Response for any fraudulent, unlawful, or abusive purpose, or in any way that interferes with our provision of services to our other customers. If you do any of these things, you agree you will be responsible for any amount anyone else claims from us, plus any expenses, resulting in whole or in part from your actions. You are solely responsible for maintaining the content and accuracy of your Personal Emergency Profile in the Lively app. For more information regarding Lively services, please visit our support page.

11.1.3 Your Interactions With Lively Urgent Response Agents

We may record and monitor conversations between you and our Agents, emergency service providers, the police, or other third parties. Please note that our Agents may also remain on the line if they conference in a third-party to assist in completing a service request. Please understand that Lively Urgent Response is not required to release any audio or physical records that are created as part of the Lively Urgent Response without a subpoena (unless otherwise required by law). We will do our best to accommodate you if English is not your first language and you require translation services, but we cannot guarantee the availability or competence of a third-party translator.

11.1.4 Connection To Other Service Providers

Our agents may link, conference or transfer you to other service providers such as the police, fire department, ambulance service, 9-1-1 emergency services or towing service. We’ll use reasonable efforts to contact appropriate service providers for help when you ask for it, but we can’t promise that any service providers will respond in a timely manner or at all. Furthermore, we can’t promise we will provide the best service provider or guarantee any level of service from such service provider. The laws in some places require an emergency situation to be confirmed before emergency service providers will provide service. We will not contact emergency service providers in these locations in response to your call if we cannot hear your request for assistance or otherwise confirm that an emergency exists. We will attempt to have an Agent contact you after you have completed a 9-1-1 call to make sure that you do not need additional assistance but cannot guarantee this service in all cases or for all devices.

11.1.5 Your Responsibility For Others Who Use Your Lively Urgent Response Service

You are solely responsible for any use of Lively Urgent Response associated with your Lively Wearable, even if you are not the one using it, and even if you later claim the use was not authorized. You are also solely responsible for the Services requested by you, or by anyone using the service through Lively Urgent Response on your behalf. You agree that our agent may share your information with any authorized person calling Lively Urgent Response on your behalf.

11.2 Optional Services

Additional terms and conditions may apply to your use of Optional Services. If applicable, these terms and conditions are incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement. You agree to abide by such other terms and conditions, including where applicable representing that you are of sufficient legal age to use or participate in such service or product.

11.2.2. Fall Detection

Fall Detection works only when wearing Lively Wearable around the neck in the specially designed and included lanyard. Fall Detection works in conjunction with your Lively Urgent Response. Using patented algorithms, the service detects falls and, through Lively app on your Bluetooth-connected smartphone, alerts Lively Urgent Response that you need help. You will have an opportunity to cancel the call to Lively Urgent Response if you do not need assistance.

We cannot guarantee that the Service will always accurately determine a fall. You should always push their button when you need help, if possible. Button signal range may vary due to device sensitivity, battery strength, and other environmental factors. Fall Detection is available with the purchase of the Ultimate Health and Safety plan.

11.2.3. Nurse On-Call

Nurse On-Call is not a substitute for dialing 9-1-1 and should not be used in a case of emergency. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, you should seek appropriate emergency medical assistance or call 9-1-1- immediately. The registered nurses and contracted physicians offer advice regarding health care decisions and physicians may prescribe prescriptions and refills for common medications over the phone. Physicians do not prescribe DEA controlled substances, non-therapeutic drugs, and certain drugs which may be harmful because potential for abuse. Before you speak with a physician you will be asked questions according to standardized protocol. Escalation to a physician is in the nurses’ sole discretion. Physician consults are subject to availability and may require appointments or a callback. In the event that physician services are not available, the nurse may suggest that you contact your primary care physician or visit your local Urgent Care. Thenurses and contracted physicians reserve the right to deny care for potential misuse of services.

Lively is not a healthcare provider. Because Lively is not a healthcare provider, we are not equipped to validate or confirm the accuracy or completeness of any of the advice made available by contracted physicians or to determine whether such advice is appropriate for you or your specific needs and we are neither qualified to evaluate, nor responsible for assuring, that these nurses and doctors have the necessary expertise to provide appropriate advice to you. We are not liable for any acts or omissions, including negligence, of the contracted physicians. Use of Nurse On-Call does not create any kind of treatment or other patient relationship with nurses or physicians. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care provider if you have any questions about medical treatment or a medical condition.

11.2.4. Care Advocate

Care Advocate brought to you by Lively allows our customer to work with a licensed social worker to develop a Personal Care Plan. Customer will first participate in a screening which will help identify possible areas of opportunity where the Care Advocate can offer assistance. Then together with the Care Advocate, the customer will determine their personal objective and wellness goals, as well as next steps. Care Advocates can advise on areas of wellness, health, personal care, and technology. Care Advocates cannot provide legal, financial, or medical advice. For certain areas of expertise, your Care Advocate may connect you with professionals in specialized practices that can address your questions and concerns. Lively utilizes third-party resources to connect customers with such professionals. Lively is not responsible for any acts or omissions, including negligence, by these third-party partners or the professionals or services recommended by them.

The Notice must also include a detailed description of (1) your Dispute; (2) the specific facts supporting your claim(s); (3) the nature and basis of the damages you claim to have suffered; and (4) a calculation and explanation of the relief sought. Your Notice shall be personally signed by you and sent to Best Buy at CT Corporation System, Inc., 1010 Dale Street North, St. Paul, MN 55117-5603 or by email at Arbitration@BestBuy.com. If Best Buy intends to initiate an arbitration proceeding, it will send a Notice to you at the contact information we have on file. If requested by Best Buy as part of this mandatory informal dispute resolution process, you agree to personally participate (along with your counsel, if you are represented) in a telephone conference to discuss the potential resolution of the Dispute between you and Best Buy. If the Dispute is not resolved within 60 days after receipt of the Notice (or the longer period agreed to by the Parties), you or Best Buy may proceed with individual arbitration (this informal process is a condition precedent to doing so.). If the sufficiency of a Notice or compliance with this mandatory informal dispute resolution process is at issue, it may be decided by a court at either Party’s election, and any formal dispute resolution proceeding shall be stayed pending resolution of the issue. A court shall have the authority to enforce this condition precedent, which includes the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of a demand for arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the Parties engage in this informal process.

If the Parties are not able to resolve the Dispute through the mandatory informal dispute resolution process referenced above, either Party may initiate an arbitration proceeding by sending a demand to the American Arbitration Association (AAA) that describes the nature and basis for the claim and includes all of the information required in the Notice. The Party initiating arbitration must include as part of the demand a personally signed certification of compliance with the informal dispute resolution process. You may serve a copy of a demand on our registered agent CT Corporation System, Inc., 1010 Dale Street North, St. Paul, MN 55117-5603. The arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules or Commercial Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as appropriate, and as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and the form for filing an arbitration claim are available at www.adr.org. If the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration consistent with this Dispute Resolution section, another arbitration provider shall be selected by the Parties that will administer the arbitration consistent with it. If the Parties cannot agree on a provider, one shall be selected by a court that will administer the arbitration consistent with this Dispute Resolution section.

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s Rules; however, Best Buy will consider reimbursing the consumer portion of the AAA fees upon a showing of financial hardship.

The Parties shall be responsible for their own attorney’s fees and costs in arbitration, unless they are authorized by law or the arbitrator determines that a claim or proceeding was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose or in bad faith (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). The arbitrator shall apply the provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 after entry of the award.

You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, virtually, based on written submissions, or at an in person hearing in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed upon location. Best Buy reserves the right to request a hearing from the arbitrator. You agree to personally appear at any in person hearing (along with your counsel if you are represented).

YOU AND BEST BUY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS MEANS THAT YOU MAY NOT PURPORT TO ACT ON BEHALF OF A CLASS OR ANY OTHER PERSON. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. The arbitrator may not award relief for or against anyone who is not a party to the arbitration proceeding. Further, unless both you and Best Buy agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If a court determines that a claim for public injunctive relief may not be waived and all appeals from that decision have been exhausted, then the Parties agree that any claim for public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending arbitration of the remaining claims. If this specific paragraph is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this dispute resolution provision (except for the jury trial waiver) shall be null and void.

This paragraph sets forth additional procedures that apply to mass arbitrations. If twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against Best Buy by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated, you understand and agree that these additional procedures apply and that the resolution of your Dispute might be delayed. Counsel for the claimants and counsel for Best Buy shall each select fifteen cases (per side) to proceed first in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. Each of these thirty (30) cases shall be assigned to a different arbitrator. The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of this bellwether process. If the Parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the initial thirty (30) proceedings after conferring in good faith, each side shall select another fifteen (15) cases (per side) to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a second bellwether process. Each of these thirty (30) cases shall be assigned to a different arbitrator. The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. A single arbitrator shall preside over each case. Only one case may be assigned to each arbitrator as part of a bellwether process unless the Parties agree otherwise. Identical sets of arbitrators shall not be assigned to sets of bellwether proceedings. This staged process shall continue with thirty (30) cases in each set of bellwether proceedings, consistent with the parameters identified above, including that the remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed, until all the claims included in these coordinated filings, including your case, are adjudicated, settled, or otherwise resolved. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for claims subject to these additional procedures that apply to mass arbitrations from the time of the first cases are selected for a bellwether process until the time your case is selected for a bellwether process, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. You and Best Buy agree to engage in this process in good faith. A court shall have the authority to enforce this paragraph and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing or prosecution of arbitration demands against Best Buy.

If for any reason a claim may proceed in court rather than in arbitration, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, UNLESS SUCH WAIVER IS UNENFORCEABLE. THIS MEANS THAT ANY CLAIM WOULD BE DECIDED BY A JUDGE, NOT A JURY.

This dispute resolution provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. It shall survive any termination or cancellation of, or your participation in, any membership programs or subscription services. Any amendments to this dispute resolution provision shall not affect any then active or pending arbitration proceeding.
