Iveda Company provides services that intelligently manage safety, security, and energy for homes and businesses. These family-centric services empower people to interact with and control homes or businesses from anywhere in the world through smartphones, voice interfaces, connected devices, and web user experiences.
IvedaCare is a service provided by Iveda Company.
IvedaCare helps families support and keep track of each other, including seniors and loved ones living alone or with a spouse or caregiver. The IvedaCare service can connect up to 10 people to a home in a Trusted Circle™ of family and friends to conveniently share alerts and insights about a senior’s day-to-day wellness. One potential outcome is to enable seniors to live in their own home longer, delaying a costly move to an independent or assisted living facility.
IvedaCare can also provide monitored security services to protect a home or business, and energy management services to help automatically save money.
IvedaCare distributes SMS text alerts about incidents that need immediate attention. If a situation requires a response, anyone in the Trusted Circle™ who receives an alert can simply tap the phone number provided in the text message to facilitate direct phone contact with the Emergency Call Center.
IvedaCare constantly learns daily activity patterns of people in the home and can warn caregivers, family members, and friends about incidents of concern including falls, wandering away, abnormal activity, sleep patterns, and more. The senior does not need a smartphone for the service to function, nor are they required to wear an emergency response pendant. IvedaCare provides better peace-of-mind for remote family members by keeping track of loved ones who may live alone.
IvedaCare is expandable with today’s popular third party devices including voice control with Google Home or Amazon Alexa, thermostats, locks, smart plugs, water leak sensors, sirens, video cameras, lighting and more.
IvedaCare customer support can schedule an installation expert to virtually guide new users through a short and elegant setup process to get up and running quickly.

9.2. If any provision of the Terms of Service is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms of Service will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
9.3. Your rights and obligations under the Terms of Service are not assignable or transferable and cannot be sub-licensed to another party by You except with Iveda’s prior written consent. Iveda may transfer, assign or subcontract any of its rights and obligations under the Terms of Service without consent.
9.4. The Terms of Service, Data Security Policy, Cookie Policy, Monitoring and Care Services Policy, and Privacy Policy are the complete and exclusive statement of the understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of the Terms of Service. All waivers and modifications of the Terms of Service must be in writing and signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein.
9.5. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of Your use of Iveda. You do not have authority to bind Iveda in any respect.
9.6. By accessing or using the Services, You agree: (i) that any and all disputes you may have with, or claims you may have against Iveda or its affiliates relating to, arising out of or connected in any way with (a) the Services, (b) these Terms, or (c) the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate (a “Claim”), will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”). The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision in any such arbitration will be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that the arbitration will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may be required by applicable law. If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Iveda will pay as much of the administrative costs and arbitrator’s fees required for the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs of arbitration and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate. This arbitration agreement does not preclude You from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and Iveda also have the right to bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In addition, You and Iveda retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary injunctions, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with these Terms, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in these Terms of Use.Neither you nor Iveda may act as a class representative or private attorney general, nor participate as a member of a class of claimants, with respect to any Claim. Claims may not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide only Your and/or Iveda’s individual Claims. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial.
THIS SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM, THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN AAA RULES, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR IVEDA WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. If any provision of this Section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this Section will continue in full force and effect. This Section of these Terms will survive the termination of Your relationship with Iveda.
