Millbrook Healthcare Terms and Conditions

Millbrook Healthcare Terms and Conditions – Mi-Guardian Contract

  1. CANCELLATION / TERMINATION OF THE SERVICE

There is a cooling off period of 56 days whereby I can cancel the service. Should I do so then all I pay is the set-up fee with all service charges refunded. If I wish to cancel the service after this time I must give Millbrook Healthcare, 28 days notice either by telephone, letter or e-mail and arrange for Millbrook Healthcare to collect the equipment. I understand that failure to return all the equipment will result in me being charged for its replacement.

  1. SERVICE AND CHARGES.

Millbrook Healthcare will install and maintain your alarm unit which will be programmed to Medvivo monitoring centre who will provide 24 hour cover 365 days per year. The current rental charge (including maintenance of the equipment and the cost of the monitoring) after the 8 weeks trial period is £3.50 per week, exclusive of VAT. Additional pendants are 48p per week exclusive of VAT. If extra sensors are installed the cost will be more and prices will be given prior to or at installation.

  1. CHANGES TO THE SERVICE OR CHARGES

I understand that Millbrook Healthcare may need to make changes to the service or the charges, and if Millbrook Healthcare need to make any alterations they will give me at least 14 days notice prior to the changes coming into effect. I agree and understand that if I fail to pay the service costs, or if it becomes impractical to provide the service to me, that Millbrook Healthcare may withdraw the service and remove the equipment after giving me 14 days notice.

  1. I UNDERSTAND HOW THE SERVICE WORKS

I understand how the unit and sensors work and confirm I will test my pendant at least once a month using the red button. The control centre managed by Medvivo will endeavour as per the TSA regulations, to answer at least 97.5% of alarm activations within 1 minute and to answer all alarm activations, including automated test calls, within 5 minutes. In the unlikely event of the control centre being unable to function properly alternative arrangements will be put in place as quickly as possible but there may be a short delay in dealing with calls. All calls to the control centre are voice recorded and can be replayed for training and quality purposes. I understand that the purpose of Telecare is to support me at home and reduce the risks of independent living, but it cannot eliminate risks completely. Reasonable care will be taken to ensure that all alerts are handled correctly. Sensors do occasionally give false alerts and sometimes fail to respond to a valid event. If the batteries in your sensors need replacing we will let you know what type they are and what needs to be done.
