Last Updated: October 28, 2025
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your rental, installation, access to, and use of Advizia hardware and software products and related services (collectively, the “Services”), including but not limited to Pulse 1.0 devices (the “Device”) and the cloud platform, dashboard, APIs and firmware (the “Platform”). By renting, installing, connecting, or otherwise using the Device or the Platform, you (“Customer”, “you” or “your”) agree to be bound by these Terms. If you accept these Terms on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT RENT, INSTALL, OR USE THE SERVICES.
1. DEFINITIONS
“Customer Data” means all data, content, measurements, environmental readings, telemetry, logs, images, reports, and other information collected, generated, uploaded, or submitted by or for Customer through the Device or Platform, including derivative data and metadata.
“Personal Data” means any information that identifies or can be used to identify an individual, as defined by applicable law.
“Aggregated/Anonymized Data” means data derived from Customer Data that has been aggregated or processed so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any individual.
“Subscription” means Customer’s paid access to Platform services, features, dashboard access, and cloud functionality required for Device operation.
2. SERVICE MODEL; SUBSCRIPTION & RENTAL99 REQUIRED
2.1 Hardware rental only. Devices are provided on a rental basis and remain the sole property of Advizia. Customer receives possession but not ownership. Upon termination of service, Devices must be returned or made available for retrieval by Advizia.
2.2 Software required. Use of the Device requires an active Subscription. The Device will not function, collect data, or provide insights without continuous subscription payment.
2.3 No Ownership Rights. Customers acquire no ownership rights in the Devices, firmware, software, or data systems. Use is granted solely under this Agreement.
2.4 Anti-Theft & Tamper Protection
a. Remote Disablement. Advizia may remotely disable any Device at any time if it detects (i) non-payment, (ii) unauthorized relocation, (iii) physical tampering, or (iv) breach of these Terms. Customer agrees such disablement does NOT constitute trespass or conversion.
b. GPS & Geofence. Each Device contains embedded location tracking. Customer may not relocate the Device outside the licensed premises without 48-hour prior written notice. Unauthorized relocation triggers immediate disablement and a $500 relocation fee per Device.
c. Continued Billing on Theft. If a Device is stolen, lost, or not returned within 5 business days of demand, rental and Subscription fees continue to accrue until the Device is recovered OR Customer pays a replacement fee equal to 24 months of rental.

3.3 Payment Terms; Late Payment: Payment is due within 30 days of invoice. Failure to pay within 30 days of the invoice due date results in suspension of service and Device disablement. If payment remains delinquent beyond that period, Advizia may terminate access and recover Devices.
