Awareness Service Agreement
Welcome to the Vicohome Awareness Services.
Vicohome Awareness Services are developed by the owner of Photon Sail Technologies Pte. Ltd. (website: https://www.photonsail.tech) (hereinafter referred to as "Photon Sail"), and are designed to provide smart service benefits for paid users (hereinafter referred to as "you").
You must read carefully and fully understand the content of each clause of this agreement, especially the corresponding clauses of exemption liability and limitation liability.
If you activate or follow the camera owner to use the Vicohome Awareness Services, you are deemed to have read and agreed to be bound by this agreement. If you disagree with any of the terms of this agreement, you should stop using the Vicohome Awareness Services.
1. Service Content
1.1 “Vicohome Awareness Services” refer to a smart service package for users of Vicohome smart cameras produced by Photon Sail, which contain a variety of proprietary smart service benefits, including but not limited to Vicohome Awareness and Vicohome Awareness Protection. Please refer to the detailed introduction on the "Vicohome Awareness Page" to check specific service content.
1.2 The camera and its firmware, and software version of your phone application may affect your smart service benefits. When this happens, we recommend that you replace the device or upgrade the firmware and software in a timely manner.
1.3 The smart service benefits are based on the information published on the "Vicohome Awareness Page". Smart services are divided into various forms, and there will be differences between different service packages. The details are also subject to the description on the above page.
2. Opening and Termination
2.1 If you agree to this agreement and pay the corresponding smart service fees through channels designated by Photon Sail in the Vicohome application, the subscription will be activated upon successful processing of your payment and you will get smart service benefits immediately.
2.2 Validity Period of Vicohome Awareness Services: Commencing from the day when the service is activated, the specific validity period can be viewed on the "Vicohome Awareness Page". If user pays renewal fees during the validity period, the validity period will be extended accordingly. If you do not renew before benefits get expired, Photon Sail has the right to stop providing Vicohome Awareness Services.
2.3 When you activate the Vicohome Awareness Services, you should carefully check your account information, payment information, terms, and fees. As the Vicohome Awareness Services are provided in virtual form, based on the nature of Internet services and relevant laws and regulations, once you have successfully paid service fees and the Vicohome Awareness Services have been activated, no standard refunds are offered post-activation, even if you make a wrong purchase, cannot use the service due to your personal reasons, or cancel subscription amid validity period. If there is an extraordinary request for refund, please contact customer support for case-specific review. Photon Sail may, at its sole discretion and as a gesture of goodwill, consider refund requests submitted directly by you via customer support channels. Any approved refund, if granted, will be processed solely at Photon Sail’s discretion and may be calculated on a pro-rated basis for the unused portion of the subscription period, net of any transaction processing or costs incurred.
2.4 After any Vicohome Awareness Service is activated, if you do not use the smart service benefits, it is not considered as giving up the corresponding rights. However, if you violate the relevant regulations or there is an abnormality in your account, Photon Sail has the right to take restrictions or freeze measures on the corresponding account.
2.5 Before your Vicohome Awareness Service expires, Photon Sail will notify you that the benefits will expire or have expired. You can extend the use period by repurchasing the service package again.
3. Fees, Renewals, Upgrade and Downgrade
3.1 Vicohome Awareness Services fees you finally paid are based on the service package. Photon Sail will launch special promotions and publish event information and event prices on the "Vicohome Awareness Page".
3.2 If you have activated the automatic renewal when you purchased the smart service, the smart service will renew automatically when it expires. If you do not want to renew, or do not want automatic payment, you can turn off the automatic renewal function before the automatic payment of the next period. For relevant rules and instructions, please refer to the Continuous Subscription Service Agreement.
4. Account Management
4.1 An administering user may, through the “sharing” feature, share a device with active smart service with other non-administering users (such as family, friends, etc.). The users who are shared with the device may access certain smart service features and/or benefits associated with that device as non-administering users. The scope of access varies depending on the applicable service plan and configuration applied to that certain device . Notwithstanding, all configurations and settings related to a smart service shall remain under the control of the administering user.
4.2 In the event of account divulgation or inaccessibility to smart service benefits that could not be attributed to Photon Sail, Photon Sail assumes no responsibility. If you find your account stolen during use, you should promptly change your password or retrieve your account through management regulations.
4.3 Smart service users shall not obtain qualifications in improper ways, shall not provide account to third parties in any form of lending, renting, selling, etc., and shall not abuse smart service rights to obtain improper benefits. If the user commits improper behavior and violates the management regulations, Photon Sail has the right to suspend or cancel smart service qualification without refunding the service fees. In addition, the offending member shall bear all responsibilities and consequences.
4.4 The Vicohome users should bear the corresponding responsibility for disputes arising from reasons that are attributable to the Vicohome user rather than reasons related to Photon Sail. If such disputes impair the legal rights of Photon Sail, we have the right to cancel the user's eligibility for smart services without refunding the service fees. At the same time, Photon Sail will safeguard rights and in lawful ways.
5. Awareness Protection and ER Services
5.1 Service Content and Availability. 24/7 emergency response services (“ER Services”), including dispatching police, fire, and medical assistance, are provided to users with an active Awareness Protection subscription.
Awareness Protection and the ER Services included are available and supported in certain countries and regions, which may be adjusted and updated by Photon Sail from time to time. ER Services may be used in family residences that you own or legally occupy in these supported countries and regions with certain Vicohome products installed (each, a “Protected Premise”).
5.2 Service Provider. The ER Services included in the Awareness Protection subscription are provided by Noonlight, Inc., a third-party service provider (the “ER Service Provider”).
BY ACCESSING, SUBSCRIBING TO, OR USING THE AWARENESS PROTECTION SERVICE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS OF USE LOCATED AT https://www.noonlight.com/terms, EXCLUDING SECTIONS 3 (ACCOUNTS AND REGISTRATION) AND 8 (PAYMENT) THEREIN (AS MODIFIED, THE “PROTECTION SERVICE TERMS”). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE PROTECTION SERVICE TERMS, DO NOT ENROLL IN THE AWARENESS PROTECTION SUBSCRIPTION.
The ER Service Provider is an independent contractor of Photon Sail; no partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency relationship exists between the ER Service Provider and Photon Sail. Photon Sail shall in no event be liable for any content of the Protection Service Terms, given it does not have control over such Protection Service Terms. Photon Sail disclaims any express or implied recognition of, and any representation or commitment regarding, any information, software, products, services, materials, or results contained in or obtainable through the Protection Service Terms.
5.3 Alarm Notice and Response
An alarm notice may be triggered by either of the following ways to initiate 24/7 emergency response process:
(1) User may click the corresponding button (e.g. “Request Police Response”, “Request Medical Response”, “Request Fire Response”, etc.) in Vicohome app to indicate emergency status and the Vicohome app will automatically send request for emergency response to the ER Service Provider; or
(2) Subject to adjustment or alteration by Photon Sail from time to time, if you elect to enable the “Away” mode on a security camera and activate the automatic emergency dispatch option, emergency response will be sent to the ER Service Provider automatically if a suspected intrusion is detected.
When the ER Service Provider receives a request for emergency response from the user, its agent will contact user by phone call or SMS to confirm safety status with the user. If the user confirms safety and enters the PIN code selected when setting up the Awareness Protection features, the alarm notice will be deactivated and no emergency responders will be dispatched. If the user confirms emergency, or if other condition for triggering emergency response service as determined by the ER Service Provider is met, the ER Service Provider will contact local public safety answering point and request emergency responders be dispatched to your Protected Premise.
5.4 Authorization and Privacy
(1) Phone Number. When enrolling in the Awareness Protection subscription, you must provide a phone number of your own that is capable of receiving calls and text messages. If you designate any emergency contact, their phone number must also be provided. The ER Service Provider and public safety authorities may contact you to verify your request for emergency response or on other matters related to your use of the ER Service via this phone number.
You consent to receive calls and texts from the ER Service Provider at this number via any method, including automated dialing/texting systems. Standard carrier charges apply to texts or data sent and received for the ER Service. As text reception is essential to the service, you must cancel your Awareness Protection subscription to stop receiving texts.
You must provide accurate, current, and complete phone number and keep your registered phone number up-to-date at all times. If the phone number you provide is not correct, the ER Service Provider may be unable to contact you to verify your request for emergency response. Neither Photon Sail nor the ER Service Provider is liable for any loss or damage caused by your failure to maintain the latest phone number.
(2) Address. When you enroll in the Awareness Protection subscription, you will be asked to provide the address of the Protected Premise where each Vicohome product connected to the ER Service is located.
You must provide accurate, current, and complete address of the Protected Premise and keep your registered address of the Protected Premise up-to-date at all times. If the Protected Premise address you provide is not correct, the ER Service Provider may be unable to request emergency responders be dispatched to the location where your Vicohome product is actually located and/or emergency responders may be dispatched to an incorrect location. Neither Photon Sail nor the ER Service Provider is liable for any loss or damage caused by your failure to maintain the latest address of the Protected Premise.
Photon Sail or the ER Service Provider may require Protected Premise address verification to reduce fraud risk and ensure correct emergency dispatch. IF VERIFICATION IS REQUIRED: THE ER SERVICE WILL BE UNAVAILABLE FOR THE PROTECTED PREMISE, AND THE ER SERVICE PROVIDER WILL NOT RESPOND TO ALARMS UNTIL VERIFICATION IS COMPLETE. In any actual emergency before verification is completed, or if you cannot confirm authorities were contacted, YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTACT POLICE, FIRE DEPARTMENT, 911, OR EMERGENCY SERVICES.

You (for yourself) and any Service User (including any other person contacting Photon Sail or the ER Service Provider, or whose communication is received through the Awareness Protection service by either party) consent to the interception, recording, disclosure, and use of any phone calls, other oral communications, or videos connected with the Awareness Protection service. You must also notify all Service Users about such interception, recording, disclosure, or use. YOU SHALL NOT INTERCEPT OR RECORD ANY PERSON'S ORAL COMMUNICATION WITHOUT THEIR EXPRESS CONSENT. Please refer to Photon Sail's Privacy Policy and the ER Service Provider's Privacy Policy (https://www.noonlight.com/privacy) for critical details regarding audio/video recording.
