USE OF THE SERVICE

The EllieGrid Pillbox App allows you to access and use the Service through our mobile or web-based apps as we may offer from time to time (the “App”). It may be used with our EllieGrid pill box (“Pillbox”). Via the Services, we offer, among other things, a convenient way to set reminders for prescription medications (“Medications”) and nutritional supplements (“Supplements”), and, may in the future, offer a way to receive alerts about drug interactions or side effects based on the Medications and Supplements you enter into the system as described below. You must be at least 18 years of age in order to download and/or use the App and the Pillbox.

As long as you comply with these Terms, you have the right to download and install a copy of the App to your mobile device, and to access and use the Service, for your own personal use.

The following terms apply to any App accessed through or downloaded from any app store or distribution platform (like the Apple App Store or Google Play) where the App may now or in the future be made available (each an “App Provider”). You acknowledge and agree that:

These Terms are concluded between you and EllieGrid, and not with the App Provider, and that EllieGrid (not the App Provider), is solely responsible for the App.The App Provider has no obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.


In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify the App Provider, and the App Provider will refund the purchase price for the App to you (if applicable) and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App Provider will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of EllieGrid.


The App Provider is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of the App, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.


In the event of any third party claim that the App or your possession and use of that App infringes that of third party’s intellectual property rights, EllieGrid will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by these Terms.


The App Provider, and its subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of these Terms as related to your license of the App, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of these Terms, the App Provider will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms as related to your license of the App against you as a third party beneficiary thereof.
You must also comply with all applicable third party terms of service when using the App.


Our Service may change from time to time and/or we may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Service (or features within the Service), possibly without prior notice to you. Our Service may include advertisements, which may be targeted to the content or information on the Service, queries made through the Service, or from other information. The types and extent of advertising on the Service are also subject to change over time. In consideration for providing you the Service, you agree that we and our third party providers and partners may place advertising on our Service or in connection with the display of content or information on our Service, and that we may receive remuneration for placing such advertising.



USE ELLIEGRID AT YOUR OWN RISK

Our goal is to provide reminders and helpful and accurate information through the Service, but we make no endorsement, representation or warranty of any kind that the reminders will work as intended or about any provided content, information, services or recommendations. 

The reminders are to be a backup to instructed use of Medications by health care providers and instructions by manufacturers of Supplements or as directed by healthcare providers.  YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FOLLOWING THE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS OF YOUR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER.

We are not responsible for the accuracy, reliability, effectiveness, or correct use of information you receive through the Service. If you rely on any content provided through the Service or the Service, you do so solely at your own risk.



USE OF THE PILLBOX

Read the instructions that come with your Pillbox and mobile application carefully.  Pay special attention to the instructions about using the Service, proximity and syncing the Pillbox. The Pillbox is designed so that there is one Account per Pillbox. Pillbox comes with a rechargeable battery, so make sure to charge your Pillbox periodically.

The Pillbox does not lock. It is up to you to keep the Pillbox in a secure location away from pets, children, and unauthorized persons.

The Pillbox is not water-proof.  Make sure to use the Pillbox so that it does not fall into sinks, bathtubs, pools and other locations where it might get submerged or wet.

The Pillbox may be sensitive to strong magnets or strong electronic fields.  Accordingly, do no place near strong magnets or in strong electronic fields.

The Pillbox is not time-zone sensitive.  If you change time zones, you must re-enter information and sync to the Pillbox.  When traveling through security-screened areas (such as airports) it is a good idea to bring along the labels or evidence of prescription to show screening officials.

If Pillbox runs completely out of battery,  the Pillbox's clock will not be set to the correct time whenever the Pillbox is recharged. As a result, if the Pillbox runs completely out of battery, you must charge the Pillbox battery and connect the Pillbox to the mobile app via Bluetooth in order for the device to ring at correct times. By simply connecting the pillbox to the mobile app via Bluetooth, the app will program the Pillbox to the correct time, and your alarms should ring at the correct time.

If a red light flashes on your pillbox, this is indicating an error. This means that the time on the pillbox is not correct. ANY ALARMS THAT WERE PROGRAMMED WILL NOT GO OFF ON THE PILLBOX IF THE PILLBOX IS IN THIS STATE. In order to correct this issue, connect to your EllieGrid pillbox with your EllieGrid mobile app via Bluetooth.

The EllieGrid Pillbox contains a Lithium-Ion battery. Rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are potentially hazardous and can present a  serious Fire Hazard if damaged, defective or improperly used. To prevent problems with battery, keep the battery in an environment with a temperature between 50°F and 80°F, do not attempt to charge unhealthy battery, charge battery in fire safe environment, and do not damage the battery.

Be sure to keep pillbox indoors in an air-conditioned environment so that the medications inside the device do not overheat or melt, so that the electronics do not overheat, and so that the plastic does not overheat or melt.

Be sure to effectively clean and sanitize the Pillbox to prevent contamination. To reduce the chances of contamination, follow four care tips: (1) Keep it clean; (2) keep it dry; (3) keep it out of direct sunlight or heat sources, and (4) discard the Pillbox if it has come in contact with toxic materials. For more information visit www.elliegrid.com. If you notice any irregularities in your health, stop using the EllieGrid Pillbox immediately and consult a doctor.

We reserve the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Content, that we consider, in our sole discretion, to be in violation of these Terms or otherwise harmful to the Service.  You agree that we have the authority to direct a TP Site to remove Content pursuant to these Terms.

We also reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Account and your use of the Service at any time in future.
