2.4 General Alert Ltd will commence the Initial Contract Period and the billing cycle on the day the Customer signs up for the service, and billings will occur on the calendar day every month until the service is cancelled. The Signing Up date is deemed to be the date on which the initial GA-Tokens are purchased by the Customer to be credited to his Account, and the deposit paid by the Customer for the rental of the SIM card to be used in the General Alert equipment.

2.5 You may terminate the Service by giving General Alert Ltd notice before the start of your next month's billing period. Any deposit held against the return of the SIM card will not be released until the SIM card is physically returned to General Alert Ltd at the Customer’s expense.

3.1 The Customer is responsible for all usage charges in respect of the use of the GA-Information Services whether or not such usage was authorised. It is the Customer's responsibility to maintain the security of the means of access to the GA-Information Services and to ensure unauthorised use does not occur such as the use of security software such as firewalls or the periodic changing of passwords and the deleting of unwanted sub-user accounts.

3.2 The Customer may only use the GA-Information service through the purchase of GA-Tokens either purchased on general-alert.com, directly from General Alert Ltd or on of General Alert’s Dealers.

3.4 Any unused GA-Tokens for any Customer account will not be reimbursed under any circumstances as the GA-Tokens are paid for in advance.

Whilst General Alert Ltd will use its best endeavours to ensure that Customers are made aware of a low GA-Token balance, loss of performance of the GA-Information system due to a lack of pre-paid GA-Tokens will be entirely the responsibility of the Customer. General Alert will not be liable for any consequential losses arising from such lack of performance.

3.7 The Customer accepts that their GA-Information system account will cease to function once the GA-Token balance has been reduced to zero. General Alert Ltd takes no responsibility for any consequential loss caused by such lack of function.

The Customer acknowledges that General Alert Ltd cannot guarantee uninterrupted service, the speed, performance or quality of the GA-Information Service.

4.7 The Customer accepts that the GA-Information system is designed to provide information to aid in management and decision making processes.
