Specific Terms for Users
The following section of this Terms of Service apply to Users of the Company’s Services, including the App, Website, and/or Products. Users agree to the terms herein and attached to Annex 1 as well.
Helpany is a radar-based motion monitoring technology system that provides motion related information from one or more Products, which are installed in rooms (e.g., bedroom, living room etc.). The provided motion-based data, such as night-time restlessness, gait speeds, sedentary behavior, etc., can be used by its Users to learn something about their individual motion behaviors and motion patterns. The motion-related information might indirectly unveil information about the overall health condition of an individual and as well behavioral risk-factors. Helpany is determining these risk-factors, mainly, but not limited to, risk-factors relating to the individual risk of falling, through showing publicly available information in combination with the measured motion-based data from one or more Products to its Users. Helpany does not guarantee that these shown public information are valid, accurate or correct. Furthermore, as it is not possible with Helpany’s radar-based technology to associate the measured motion data in a room to any specific individual with certainty, all its provided information is solely intended for educational purposes, anecdotal and has no medical or diagnostic purpose.
Users place Paul in living areas throughout their home in an elevated location (e.g., a side table) or at the ceiling so the Product’s motion detectors have an unobstructed view of the room. Paul contains radar technology that allows the detection of motion, the location of the source of motion relative to the Product (distance and angle), and the analysis of motion patterns over time (short-term and long-term motion pattern analysis). Specifically, its main purpose is to inform its Users about measured motion patterns in a room, analysis and possible interpretations of these motion patterns, and the detection or absence of expected motion patterns. The Company offers a variety of features bundled into distinct and separate modules, accessible to Users who have purchased and paid the subscription fee for the corresponding module (each a “Software Module”). The availability of each Software Module may be requested by a Customer or User; however, the Company reserves the right to determine, at its sole discretion and without obligation to provide an explanation, whether to grant access to any requested module. The Software Module options are as follows:
- Automated Well-Being Check: Our technology can detect prolonged periods of motion in rooms (e.g., not leaving the bedroom in the morning) and prolonged periods of absence of motion (e.g., empty bedroom at night) in rooms where Paul is installed. The detection of these motion patterns are used as a simplified automated well-being check (“Automated Well-being Check”). Automated Well-being Checks do not necessarily indicate that a health-threatening situation occurred, rather that a deterioration in the expected motion patterns is present. If enabled, connected to the internet and logged-in, Users will be asked through a User notification and an in-App prompt, if they need assistance. If the User does not respond to the in-App prompt within a predetermined amount of time (e.g., 20 minute), their designated emergency contact(s) receive an automatic App notification alerting them that the User has not responded to the Automated Well-Being Check. By default, the Automated Well-Being Check is not activated, as it must be configured by the User according to its needs and the individual setup of its Products (amount of devices) and as further set forth in the User Guidelines and Installation Manual.
- Well-Being Indicators: Based on the measured motion data by Paul, multiple indicators of well-being are calculated, such as the average speeds of motions measured (e.g., gait speed), amount of total hours in a stationary position in the room (e.g., sedentary hours per day) and the duration of the longest non-interrupted session of stationarity within the room, daytime activity determined by the estimated steps walked, and night-time restlessness determined by the estimated steps walked during the night (collectively, “Well-Being Indicators”). Helpany is providing these Well-Being Indicators to the authorized Users in different forms and formats. The interpretation of these Well-Being Indicators relating to their relevance and correctness can solely be done by the User as these Well-Being Indicators are solely anecdotal. Furthermore, any automatic interpretation of these Well-Being Indicators offered by Helpany is based on publicly available information and therefore serves only as an educational purpose at best and is not intended for medical or diagnostic purposes or as a substitute for seeking advice by licensed medical professionals.
- Health Overview: The “Health Overview” module provides a summarized view of Well-Being Indicators calculated for one or more Users, accessible only to Customers,Users, and Authorized Users. This overview displays the most recent Well-Being Indicators in a comparative format. Authorized Users can use filters to identify Users who show notable historical changes in Well-Being Indicators or elevated nighttime activity levels.
All information displayed within the Health Overview module, including data provided by the filters, is intended solely for informational purposes and does not imply any medical condition, diagnosis, or conclusion. Users accessing the Health Overview module are strictly advised to interpret this information alongside additional context and external sources to gain a comprehensive understanding of an individual’s well-being.
- Movement Notifications: Users with specific rights can also manually engage movement alert notifications when a movement occurs within the field of view of a Paul. This feature enables these Users to receive in-App alerts for detected movements in the Paul-installed living spaces, and can be used for a variety of purposes such as knowing when a User starts to move around in their apartment.
- Night Guard: The Night Guard feature may be enabled based on Well-Being Indicators, allowing automated activation of movement alerts during a user-defined nighttime period (night shift schedule configured by the User) (“Movement Notifications”). When Night Guard is enabled and Well-Being Indicators fall below a certain threshold, the system may suggest automated Movement Notifications for designated times. Users and Authorized Users can add or remove other Users for Night Guard access.
The automated selections generated by the Product based on Well-Being Indicators are intended solely as convenient, proactive suggestions and must be reviewed and validated by qualified Users. Due to the inherent limitations of Well-Being Indicator data, the automated Night Guard may occasionally activate notifications for fewer or more Users than may be necessary. To support transparency, the Product displays, at all times, the status of each User’s inclusion in Night Guard, whether automated or manually configured.
- Motion Monitoring: Any sensed motion by the Products in a room is algorithmically optimized and visualized to its Users through the App. The visible motion data in the App is not real-time and always shown slightly time-delayed as external factors such as the User’s WiFi can influence the speed of data transmission. Company is not liable for any damages resulting from delay in data transmission due to User WiFi speed. With the motion-monitoring functionality, Users can determine if motion is present in the field of view of a specific Product without having to be physically present in that room (remote monitoring). It is not possible to tell what the source of the visible motion is, as radar-based technologies are privacy-preserving and do not allow a direct identification (e.g., identity of the person) of the cause of the visible motion.
- Motion Profile: Through showing the measured motion data by all Products in a historical mode, it is possible for Users and other Authorized Users (collectively, “App Users”) to analyze motion patterns over time (“Motion Profile”). With this Motion Profile, the measured motion data from one or more Products (e.g., grouped Products for a User’s apartment with two rooms) is visible in a chronological order with the corresponding timestamp information (e.g., visualized as a graph or text-based log over time). App Users may be able to infer, given the Motion Profile, that under specific circumstances and specific setups of the Products, the arrival and departure times of additional persons.
By purchasing and utilizing the optional accessory, Paul Junior, Users may achieve a more accurate estimation of arrival and departure times for individuals carrying the device. The use of Paul Junior is optional and requires a purchase request from the User. Approval for such a request is granted at the sole discretion of the Company on a voluntary, case-by-case basis, and only after the User has demonstrated compliance with applicable regulations in their jurisdiction.
- Audit: The Product aggregates various data sources, such as Motion Profiles and Movement Notifications, within the “Audit” module. This module consolidates historical data in a summarized format, viewable by App Users. By combining multiple data points, the Audit module can estimate specific chronological events associated with a User and their living area. These estimates include metrics such as the frequency of visits, number of movement notifications per User, and the duration of time between significant motion detections in distinct areas of a User’s living space.
The aggregated data in the Audit module provides App Users the opportunity to derive general insights into motion patterns within a living area. Users can analyze these metrics across multiple devices and perform comparisons. However, due to the inherent limitations of motion-based data, the Audit module offers only anecdotal insights. Users with access to this module acknowledge that additional external information, beyond that provided by the Products, is required to fully assess the accuracy and context of the insights presented.
- Insights Dashboard: The “Insights Dashboard” module provides a summary of various quantitative metrics. These metrics are derived either from manual entries made by the User within the Product or through automatic calculations based on data from the Product’s available modules. The Insights Dashboard consolidates and displays this information to provide an overview of the data sourced from the Products and its various Software Modules.
In order to operate properly, Products need a secure power source and connection to a WiFi network. To avoid risk of shock, Users should take precaution not to install their Product above a water source, such as a bathtub.
Products should always be installed in accordance with our User Guidelines and Installation Manual and used only for the purposes stated therein and in these Terms of Service.
DISCLAIMERS:
- Company does not provide diagnostic, health care, or emergency services to its Users. No Company personnel will be dispatched to Users in response to a Product alert.
- Company’s Automated Well-Being Checks are an automated feature. User activities are not actively monitored by Company personnel.
- Company’s Automated Well-Being Check facilitates an automated in-App notification to Users and App Users who have been designated by Users as emergency points of contact only. Company does not field or direct emergency calls from its Users, nor does its Product automatically contact 911, police, or ambulance/hospital services, unless such entities or persons are designated as emergency contacts by the User.
- Company does not warrant that its Services can prevent death, bodily injury, property damage, theft, or any other harm or damage to its Users or others.
- Company’s Services rely on the availability of a consistent power source, the WiFI and internet service provider, an updated version of Company’s App, unobstructed monitoring access to the room, and the availability of GPS data to operate properly. These systems are provided and/or installed by third parties and cannot be controlled by Company, and as such, Company cannot control or warrant the operations of those related third party systems needed to provide Company’s Services effectively.
- Though Company employs safeguards to ensure the accuracy of its monitoring technology, Company does not warrant that its Product is able to detect all (100%) sources of motion present in a room and that the sensed motion data is correct. Therefore, neither the detection of all activated motion-based alerts can be guaranteed nor that any interpretation based on the measured motion data can be assumed to be correct.
- In the event of a Service failure or malfunction, Users should immediately contact 911 emergency services or other similar safety personnel.
- Company does not monitor, control, or take responsibility for any action or inaction taken by a User’s designated emergency contact in response to a Product alert. Company is not responsible for the promptness, sufficiency, or adequacy of any response taken by a User’s emergency contact.
- Company is not an insurer and does not in any way warrant the User’s health or safety.

(vi) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that all the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner (or, if you are not the copyright owner, then your statement must indicate that you are authorized to act on the behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed); and
(vii) your electronic or physical signature.
The Company will only respond to DMCA Notices that it receives by mail, e-mail, or facsimile at the addresses set forth in the “Notice” section of this Agreement.
It is often difficult to determine if your copyright has been infringed. The Company may elect to not respond to DMCA Notices that do not substantially comply with all of the foregoing requirements, and the Company may elect to remove allegedly infringing material that comes to its attention via notices that do not substantially comply with the DMCA.
Please note that the DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.
We may send the information that you provide in your notice to the person who provided the allegedly infringing work. That person may elect to send us a DMCA Counter-Notification. Without limiting the Company’s other rights, the Company may, in appropriate circumstances, terminate a repeat infringer’s access to the Services, Website, and/or any other website owned or operated by the Company.
Counter-Notification. If access on the Website to a work that you submitted to the Company is disabled or the work is removed as a result of a DMCA Notice, and if you believe that the disabled access or removal is the result of mistake or misidentification, then you may send us a DMCA Counter-Notification to the addresses above. Your DMCA Counter-Notification should contain the following information:
(i) a legend or subject line that says: “DMCA Counter-Notification”;
(ii) a description of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled (please include the URL of the Website from which the material was removed or access to it disabled);
(iii) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;
(iv) your full name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and the username of your account;
(v) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if the address is located outside the U.S.A., to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Central District of California), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided DMCA notification to us or an agent of such person; and
(vi) your electronic or physical signature.
Please note that the DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability.
If we receive a DMCA Counter-Notification, then we may replace the material that we removed (or stop disabling access to it) in not less than ten (10) and not more than fourteen (14) business days following receipt of the DMCA Counter-Notification. However, we will not do this if we first receive notice at the addresses above that the party who sent us the DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice has filed a lawsuit asking a court for an order restraining the person who provided the material from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Service. You should also be aware that we may forward the Counter-Notification to the party who sent us the DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice.

Dispute Resolution
Informal Dispute Resolution. We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against Company or any subsidiary, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting info@Helpany.com. We’ll try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you through email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days after submission, you or Company may bring a formal proceeding.
We Both Agree To Arbitrate. You and Company, including its subsidiaries, agree to resolve any disputes through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under “Exceptions to Agreement” to Arbitrate below.
Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting info@Helpany.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms of Service and stating that you (including your first and last name) decline this arbitration agreement.
Arbitration Procedures. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in San Francisco, California, or any other location we agree to.
Arbitration Fees. The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. The Company will not seek its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.
Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. Either you or the Company may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in San Francisco (CA) or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Company’s products or the Company Service, or infringement of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.
No Class Actions. You may only resolve Disputes with the Company on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed under this Agreement.
Judicial Forum for Disputes. In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and the Company agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of San Francisco County, California. Both you and the Company consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. We both agree to waive our right to a jury trial.

Customer shall reimburse Company for all reasonable costs incurred by Company in collecting any late payments or interest, including attorneys’ fees, court costs and collection agency fees.
If such a payment failure continues for 15 days and Customer has not returned to Company the leased Product, Company may presume Customer loss or theft of such Product and reserves the right to pursue all legal recourse available at law, including but not limited to criminal penalties and civil damages, such as punitive damages.
