Legal Terms and Conditions

ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY

ZOLL Medical Corporation ("ZOLL Medical Corporation") operates the National AED Registry ("Registry"), and other AED registries under the “ZOLL Medical Corporation” logo including, but not limited to “Minnesota AED Registry”, “Orange County AED Registry”, “Nevada Project Heartbeat AED Registry”, “Maryland AED Registry” and “Cayman Islands AED Registry”. The Registry is an online information system intended to help link automated external defibrillators ("AEDs"), AED users and sudden cardiac arrest victims, and to help AED owners manage and track data and information concerning their AEDs. Through its AED Link™ product, ZOLL Medical Corporation endeavors to provide certain subscribing 911 dispatch agencies and other public safety entities access to information regarding the location of AEDs stored in the Registry. Through the Registry, ZOLL Medical Corporation endeavors to notify designated AED inspectors via email of the expiration date of batteries and electrodes based on the information submitted by the AED site manager or AED inspector. Whether an AED inspector acts on this information is entirely within the discretion of the inspector.

Please carefully read this Agreement. By on the checking the “I ACCEPT THE TERMS OF ENROLLMENT" button, you acknowledge that you have read this Agreement and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, do not use or continue to use the Registry.

If you are a company or organization that is providing AED Program Management services to AED owners, your use of this registry is intended to notify EMS or dispatch centers of the location and availability of AEDs. By agreeing to these terms, you are avowing that you are authorized to accept these terms on behalf of your clients and assuring that all information submitted to the Registry on behalf of those organizations is true.

You may enroll as an AED site manager or inspector. If you are enrolling on behalf of an entity, you represent that you are authorized to accept these terms on behalf of the entity. Further, if you enroll as an AED site manager, you represent that you own or are an authorized agent of the owner of the AEDs you register or have the right to provide information regarding the AEDs that you register ("Registered AEDs"). Whether you enroll as an AED site manager or inspector , you represent that you are eighteen (18) years of age or older, that you will submit all required enrollment information and that all such information is to the best of your knowledge accurate and complete.

If you are an AED site manager with a valid password, then, provided you comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you are authorized to access and use the web pages assigned to your account to store, manage, administer and maintain information and data concerning the Registered AEDs. If you are an AED inspector with a valid password, then, provided you comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you are authorized to access and use the web pages assigned to your AED site manager's account to receive AED maintenance messages and record the results of AED inspections and maintenance tasks. If you provide information regarding AEDs that you do not own, you acknowledge and agree that ZOLL Medical Corporation may, with or without notice to you, transfer information and data you submit regarding such AEDs to the account of the owner of such AEDs or its agent or representative if the owner or its agent or representative enrolls as a site manager. In such event, you will no longer have the right to manage or administer the data and information you have submitted regarding such AEDs. This Section 2 sets forth the entirety of your rights to use the Registry and all data, content, information, software, technology and other materials available on, in or through the Registry excluding data or information that you provide ("Materials").

b. systematically collect and use any data or content including the use of any data spiders, robots, or similar data gathering, mining or extraction methods;

ZOLL Medical Corporation reserves the right to modify, expand, update or otherwise change the Registry or modify the terms of this Agreement. ZOLL Medical Corporation will notify you of any changes to this Agreement either by sending a notice to you at the e-mail address provided by you at enrollment of any such changes or notifying you when you login into the Registry.

8. Obligation to Maintain AEDs

If you are an owner of Registered AEDs or its agent or representative, as between you and ZOLL Medical Corporation, you are solely responsible for maintaining the Registered AEDs and keeping accurate and complete maintenance records apart from the information stored in the Registry, including, without limitation, battery date expiration and electrode date expiration. As a courtesy, ZOLL Medical Corporation will attempt to provide email notifications of the need to inspect AEDs, battery date expiration and electrode date expiration for such Registered AEDs to the AED site manager or inspector listed in the Registry. While ZOLL Medical Corporation will not be liable for failing to do so, it is your responsibility to ensure that emails sent from our Registry are cleared through any SPAM filters, or other such restrictive tools.

If you are an owner of Registered AEDs or its agent or representative, you will establish your own internal controls and procedures to ensure that the Registered AEDs are properly maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, and you are solely responsible for updating AED battery date and AED electrode date information submitted to the Registry. ZOLL Medical Corporation has no obligation to independently verify the accuracy or completeness of the information you provide.

9. Responders

ZOLL Medical Corporation’s AED Link system can auto-notify individuals who are willing to use their assigned AED not only at their location, but also at sites nearby (generally within 1,200 feet). This is a voluntary process on behalf of the Responders. As an AED site in the Registry, you have the option to enter into each AED’s information page the person or persons who are trained in CPR/AED, their contact phone numbers, their training organization and the expiration date of their certification, if any.

The method of contact choices are up to the responders and include not to be contacted at all.

As site manager you are verifying that these responders are volunteers, are not paid to respond, and that you have instructed them, and they have agreed, to respond in a way that will not cause harm to themselves or others. Furthermore, ZOLL Medical Corporation will be held harmless for any action taken by these responders should they not take the necessary precautions when responding to an alert.
